Ryan’s Pick A Part Used Auto Parts

Cheap prices! If you can find what you are looking for. Really easy to navigate the yard!

I called to check if they had a Monte Carlo SS 3.8L Supercharged and specified that it had to be the Supercharged motor. The person on the phone said that they had one in the previous year’s model which I knew would work. I was very clear about the part since I only had one day to get this right or else I would have no car for work. I went there and was eventually given a list of 6 – 7 Montes. I asked which one was the Supercharged 3.8L and they said the computer does not let them know if they’re Supercharged. I asked how the person on the phone knew they had an ’03 and he said they wouldn’t know. I look at all of them and NONE were Supercharged (the only edition that had the part I needed). Needless to say, I was upset about being misinformed. After that, I went back in and asked another employee about a few other models that have Supercharged V8’s and he tried looking through the system to help find something and informed me that they do not have any — but then again, how would he know??? I went through the GM section and found a Supercharged Grand Prix that I hoped would work (and thankfully did). Customer service was bad and then good, I found a part that worked (which is discontinued and hard to find) and the price was extremely fair. I would go back but would recommend having a few back up places in mind and be prepared to just look through your entire manufacturer’s section. Definitely a better experience than Discount Auto Salvage in Mt. Clemens. They literally tried to charge me FIVE TIMES what I paid at Ryan’s, it wasn’t even the right part (and tried to convince me otherwise) then asked what I wanted to pay. I offered more than what the part is new (unfortunately new ones don’t come with this unique bolt to mount) and they scoffed saying that they have to pay their «mechanic» labor. Removing the part is literally one easy to get to bolt that can be removed in 30 seconds. I’m not paying someone $ 28 in labor for less than 1 minute of work to get a used part (THAT WASN’T EVEN THE RIGHT PART). Ugh, stay away from Discount Auto Salvage and go to Ryans! BTW it is cash only
