Seamless transaction and perfect communication from beginning to end. Nick and crew were very responsive when our car got tail ended and totaled. They arrange to pick the car up the next day and we negotiated a price that was noticeably higher than pick and pull and the other alternatives.. Brought in the title and they cut a check that day five stars for sure! read more

Ajax in SF din't have my alternator, they recommended Cypress Auto. Price was excellent. However, I haven't installed it yet. But I'm sure it'll work like expected, at about 80% off retail price knock on wood ;))))) read more

Nick at Cypress Auto Salvage was very helpful in dealing with my daughter's very distressed car. He walked me through the car's issues and arrived at a reasonable salvage price. read more

I needed a new trunk lid for my car and found via a third party that Cypress had one that would fit. It looked fine when I picked it up but when I got home and tried to install it I discovered it was slightly bent, enough that it would not close. I brought it back and explained the situation and was immediately refunded, the guy at the desk was even apologetic for the place having sold me a defective part. Very admirable integrity. read more

I found a part (trunk lid for a Corolla) via a third party website and picked it up from Cypress. I didn't realize until after I had picked it up that it was slightly bent, but thought the defect was just superficial. When I tried to install it on my car I found it was too bent and would not fit or work out. It was the right model but it was too damaged. I brought it back and they were very professional, looking for another replacement and being unable to find one gave me a full refund (normally there is a 30% return fee if nothing is wrong with a part) with no hassle. read more

Had a great experience here! I live in Southern California and was going to be in the bay area so my sister sent me with a core, that apparently was 9 months old. Most places wouldn't honor this. They were cool about it considering I drove an hour to get there and the reason it hadn't been returned before was because we live 7 hours away! Very cool staff cool shop cool fish thanks for the help gentlemen. read more

was told he had a part and pulled off I drove from a Hour away and he tells me he don't have part beca I want purchase the whole light and made me wait a whole hour read more

called up Rock&Roll auto in Pleasanton looking for an electric steering rack for 2012 ford focus, RR didn't have, but they pointed me to Cypress. Cypress had one, gave me a quote(great price compared to ebay and no shipping cost) over the phone, had it ready the next day. As far as their office,decor,attitude, exactly what I would have expected from an auto salvage place, cool old fish tank in the office to calm ur nerves after driving through the caldecott tunnel and dealing with traffic. read more

We patiently waited for Cypress to part out one of their car so that we could buy a few small parts. The owner quoted us a $100 for a single chrome fender trim piece (the same set of all 4 trims pieces available on Amazon for $87.70). (https://www.carid.com/2007-lincoln-town-car-chrome-accessories/qmi-polished-fender-trim-709584038.html?parentsubmodel[]=SUBMODEL|Sedan) We spoke to the "eragant" manager and explained that all we needed was a single piece of fender trim and offered $25. He said: "the owner quoted you $100, I will meet you 1/2 way and it's $50". We said it's excessive. He said, "that is your opinion, we been in business for 40 years. Why did you waited 3 weeks ? Why didn't you buy the fender trims from Anazon ? We understand they are in business to make moneys but disappointed with the manager's immature, eragant attitude. We will inform our auto club members to avoid/ boycott this salvage yard in Oakland. read more

Mike was great! I had called and researched 5 other places to try to find a part for a Toyota Rav4 and he is a straight shooter, he found me 2 of the parts used and was able to find the better quality of the 2 and have it in for me within 3 days without my having to ask! I look forward to his help and services again. Thank you! read more

Nicolas and his associates at Cypress Auto Salvage saved my rare (and expertly restored) 7th Generation Honda Civic Si from being taken to a junkyard here in Hawaii. A pillar channel drain became plugged which caused the upper metal dashboard panel to rust away - so completely rusted that the panel lip that supports the windshield deteriorated. I had the odds against me... not a single salvage yard on the island had my year Civic Si because my car is rare here on Oahu, and Honda Motor Company discontinued manufacture of the part a decade ago. But Cypress Auto Salvage saved my Civic Si due to having received another 7th Generation Civic Si that was being "parted-out", that had a rust-free upper metal dashboard panel; they cut the panel out, constructed a solid wooden crate for the heavy metal panel, and Cypress Auto Salvage even arranged for the shipping from the Port of Oakland to Honolulu - all at a reasonable cost. I had an auto metal fabricator prep and weld the dashboard panel here so; basically, my Honda Civic Si is even more fully restored than before. I agree with other customers = if Cypress Auto Salvage does not have your part, they have a nationwide network so they will find your used part in good condition! I would give them 7 stars if I could. read more

These people ( and particularly Nick) was just awesome at getting me two wheels in two days for $200! This was my first time ever trying to navigate getting used parts for my car and they made it super easy and I'm very grateful. Thanks again cypress, you made a really unpleasant task and potentially very expensive one affordable, pleasant and easy! read more

I was there earlier for a part. Good guys working and running this establishment - they have a good knowledge of their inventory and it's set up pretty well as far as auto salvage is concerned. Will recommend Cypress Auto Salvage to friends for sure. read more

Called for 2 wheels for my Nissan leaf. Plain cheap steel ones. New they go for $65. Guy quoted $100, plus $15 for the tire. I asked if I could come look. I would have paid it if the tire was in good shape. They had a 2018 low mileage leaf. Might have been worth it Came down, they had to pull the car down. Tire was shredded. Wheels in what looked like ok shape, but who knows. I asked for a price. Was told $80. I said I would pass....I can buy new with no potential issues for less. And guy helping gave a snarky comment that I knew the price when I called. Heres the thing. I knew price. I didnt know condition. And I didnt need a snarky comment. During covid19...I prefer to shop local. Its a reminder for all of us to. But I didnt need the attitude. read more

This place answer your call quick, wants to take your money quick, also lies and will cheat you on the part price and conducting business. Save yourself the hassle and look at other options, the owner is extremely rude and disrespectful. IMAGES WILL FOLLOW IN COMING DAYS read more

I usually don't write any bad reviews but this place really deserves one. Really poor customer service. They're rude over the phone and worse in person. read more

Great people! I converted my 4runner from a automatic 2wd to a manual 5spd 4wd with Cypress' help. They gave me a reasonable price and most importantly they kept their promise to get me ALL the parts needed! The guys in the shop pulled all the parts very carefully and made sure I could install it on my 4runner. They even bought parts from other salvage yards if they didn't have it without charging me extra! Highly recommended business! Kris read more

Great inventory and the best prices! Cypress auto is the go to place. They'll find just what you need! Miss you guys! read more

Nick was super helpful and nice even though they didn't have my part, he looked up who did and gave me that info. he then even called that owner on his cell to see if he was open! read more

Polite, friendly & quick to respond to phone queries. Not only did they have my wheel I was looking for, but it was already tagged & ready to go! (you may or may not be so lucky, but they'll call you back when it's really to be picked up-if you don't want to wait around for it). Not only does it make auto repair much cheaper, but I really like the idea of re-using salvageable parts. We got too much disposable tech going on as it is! read more

The tow truck driver who suggested this block as the last resting place for our totaled car knew what he was doing. I called around and compared; Cypress offered a decent price and was helpful with the paperwork. Hope I don't have to do that again soon, but if I do I know who to call. read more

Awesome resource in the East Bay! Knowledgeable (mostly-friendly) staff. If they don't have the auto-part you're looking for within their impressively well organized warehouse, they can and will probably find it for you (via inter/intra net). It's like a locally run used Napa auto parts store. Booya! read more

These guys really helped me out after months of searching for tires and rims for an old car. I had been all over the place and found out about them from a referral from the owner of Junebug Towing (also highly recommended on yelp). These people hook you up and charge fair. read more

Cypress Auto - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Oakland, California

My car blew a gasket and it is unclear whether it is worth repairing. I called Nick at Cypress to get his opinion on what my car is worth as salvage. I was impressed with his genuine candor; he not only gave me an estimate of what the car would be worth to him but also gave me the names of other salvage yards to ensure I was able to shop around for the best offer. He also noted that given the low miles on my car, in his view it might be worth considering making the investment to fix it as I may be able to get many more miles of use. Of course this wouldn't do his personal business any good, so I very much appreciated his willingness to give me his honest opinion. read more

My dealings were with 2 people - Mike and Rich. I run a small repair shop and needed parts from 2 vehicles. I ordered the front bumper and hood from a Mini Cooper and a transmission from a Saturn Ion. I received the parts with moderate damage to the hood including scratches, scuffs, dents, etc. The front of the bumper also had scratches and scuffs. The shipping pallet was not damaged, nor was the plastic wrapping covering all of the parts. The damage occurred before shipping. Mike was great, professional, and courteous every time I spoke with him. He knew exactly what was going on with all the transactions I was doing. He gets a 4 1/2 star because he wasn't there for the final stages of the order. Rich was the last person I spoke with about the transaction. After finalizing the price for all of the parts with Mike, Rich called me back and charged me an extra $70 for the grill that was attached to the hood and was included in the price when speaking with Mike. After receiving the parts and realizing they were damaged, I immediately called Rich while I was still at the shipping facility. He said he did not send damaged parts and that it must have been the shipping. I informed him there was no damage to the plastic wrap or the pallet. He said to send him photos. As soon as I got home I sent him an email with photos. He called me back and asked if I filed a claim with the shipping company. I said no, since there was no damage from shipping. He proceeded to tell me there was nothing he could do since I didn't file a claim with the shipping company and he didn't send damaged parts. His quote to me: "I don't send damaged parts, you know that right?" I responded by saying I didn't know him and he laughed. Frustrated with the week long process, my customer finally agreed to a $100 discount on the order of over $1300. I was very frustrated with the ordeal and will not be doing further business with his company. My recommendation is to only do business with them in person! read more

Thanks to Nic, Mike, and the rest of the crew at Cypress for making it easy and painless to say goodbye to my Camry. Not only did they offer me the best price in town for my dead beast but they were ridiculously friendly and easy going to boot. Now I'm going to pretend that the old Cammy Cam is romping around at a farm upstate and not being torn limb from limb for parts. read more

Took my car here, and got a fair value given it was approaching 200K in miles and 10+ years of wear and tear. Talk to Mike, if you can.

In this modern day, I thought I could find anything over the internet. I was wrong. I looked for my parts for weeks with no success. Mike found obsolete parts for 2 of my 29 and 36 year old cars in minutes and were in my hands in less than a week! I appreciate that when the parts came in, the shop called me immediately. Their knowledge and professionalism is incredible. I'm not going to waste my time searching and pulling parts that may not be there or may not even work anymore. I just found the best, go to place, for all my hard to find auto parts at a fair price. I rarely take time to give a review, but this place is totally worth my time! read more

These folks are a class act. That's the short of it. The longer version: On my (one) day off, I decided to get my VW turbo smog tested. I was failed due to an unknown broken oil dipstick and needed a replacement fast. Dealer told me 2 days. So I called Cypress Auto on the long shot I could locate a used one. Mike answered the phone and said, "yup, I'm sure we have a few kicking around". "Any way to be sure?..... I'm driving over from SF and don't want to waste a trip". "Positive. I'll pull one and have it waiting for you at the counter - no charge". 30 minutes later, I arrive. Mike has stepped out of the office and isn't there, but the other polite people behind the counter had been told I was coming, "you must be the guy who needs a dipstick". They hand me the exact part I needed and again.... "no charge". REALLY??! Despite this part's enormous value to me on that particular day, I realize the going rate for a used VW dipstick is probably nominal - but Cypress had absolutely no reason to extend such generosity. They are business and I've never purchased from them before. But these guys (and girls) peddle in good will too, not just lightly used car parts. This is the kind of business I hope to have reason to associate with again. And if I don't, you definitely should. They're good folks. Thanks again guys! - Dan read more

The company contacted me and worked out our issues. The fact that they are putting an effort to make things right tells me that they do appreciate my business. I do hope the next time I contact them, things are handled properly. But I am glad they contacted me and made things right. If I ever need a used part, I'll have them on the back of my mind just hope I catch them on a good day. We are all just trying to get things done efficiently. read more

I called this place not too long ago , the "Manager" or so called guy in charge has the most horrible attitude , I called to ask for a part, did not understand what he said so he started acting rude and hung up on me. Not a way for treating costumers. read more

I needed a few parts for my Daughters VW Passat. When I called the shop the owners son answered and told me they had the parts that I was looking for+. I went to the shop and they had everything I needed at a real price! They were friendly and professional as well! I will go there again. No attitude just business and knowledgable. Thanks Cypress! read more

Thank you, Mike, not only for buying our car 3 years ago, but also managing to dig up the records for us today. Much appreciated!!

called to find out if they had a certain car in inventory. asked if they had any BMW E46's. woman says "I dont speak BMW." So then I ask if they have any 3-series. moron responds "maybe." ...long dramatic pause. no offer to put someone on the phone who would know. no asking the person behind them. just that "maybe." you would think the moron would want to tell a potential customer if its worth their time to come by. as long as this moron answers the phone they are killing their own business and this yelp post is probably not necessary but i thought i'd save my fellow yelpers the dime and some time. dont even call. ha... i just looked at another post and it seems that this woman (or maybe there is plurality at work here?) is the problem with the yard. it really does figure because i've had a previous experience here and it was decent. unless she's the owner, owner's wife, or owner's mistress, she really needs to be fired. read more

I have been looking for a difficult-to-find part for my older car for two years.
