Came here today for some metal to build 2 gates. It was a quick easy experience. The staff was helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back.
I have been to a lot of scrap yards in Tucson and this is the one I am sticking with. They pay competitive but more importantly consistently competitive prices. They have been well established here for a long time.
