Five-star reviews for Scrap King Auto Wrecking and Towing

“Such a great help when my car broke down on the highway. The people working behind the desk were super friendly and helpful, they called around and found a shop for me to take my car to that could fix it the same day, and the driver got me there in time to get my car sorted out! So grateful!” ~ Danielle

“Had a breakdown in the Kootenay Pass out of cell service. A trucker called us in at the top of the hill and Scrap King was out with two trucks (one for our truck and one for the sleeping trailer) in no time. They took me right to the Nissan dealer in Cranbrook. Thanks Chris and gang—you made a bad situation manageable.” ~ Jon

“Good place for parts. Friendly people.” ~ Mark

“Very helpful staff. I called for a part. They called me back and told me they didn’t have it, but a competitor had the new part in stock.” ~ J
