    Gresham Auto Wrecking

    Does anyone know anything about this place? They seem to be somewhat active in the BMW community. There is a X5 there with some parts that I want there, but I don't want to drive all the way down from Seattle only to have them be all mangled.

    Ive dealt with them a few times, never let you look at car before you buy parts off it. Bought an e36 rack there, price was ok at 75$, but when I got there, Andy, the owner or whatever, was looking for an e36 to pull a rack off of, even though it was advertised on CL, and pics showed a rack out of car. His.prices on a lot of stuff are way high, he wanted 400$ for 4door hounds tooth door panels from a sedan they had.


    Those are my experiences anyway, im not going back or using them again


    Please leave feedback below, thanks

      Back in the day (puts on old man voice) they were always my LAST call when looking for parts. This was pre-internet, so it was Nickel Pages and U-Pull-it's if you were looking for parts.

      Though, I think they were called Section Line back then, but I could just be getting forgetful in my old age..

      Fast forward to today, I do see their ads on Craigslist all the time, and have emailed them about a couple parts. But, I have never gotten an email response, and I can't always get away from the office to make a call. I figure, if they can't respond by email, then they don't need my business.

        Thanks for the input guys. Sounds like it might be too much of a headache for what it's worth.

          I've had marginally better luck- cold call them, ask them for specific parts and prices, get a name and number,
          and they seem to have what the person on the other end says they have, at that price.

          Quality- varied a lot. I got some E21 parts that were very nice, but my buddy's 240z
          parts looked pretty rough. But worked fine.

          Went there once,
          t
          now, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves

            Strange, this is where I got my sedan houndstooth door cards and they only wanted $120 for them.

            My buddy also bought an m60 from them that is working out alright. I know they also do cash discounts. Everything seems negotiable there.
