MINUS ZERO STARS!!! This place advertises they are open until 2:30 on Saturdays. I was there at…read more12:30 p.m. with a backseat full of the cans I collect during my dog walking excursions. I pick up cans and discarded plastic bottles when I walk my pup to help keep my neighborhood clean and keep the storm drains clear of trash so they don't flood when it rains. Anyway, the plan was to collect the aluminum cans to cash in and make a donation to an animal related charity with the proceeds. So, load up the back seat with bags of cans to go hit the metal recycling yard. The place is closed! No sign, no answer on the phone, phone message box is full. While I am there, 3 other vehicles loaded with metal also pull up. Obviously we were all under the impression this business actually was open during the hours it says it is open. At the very least they could have posted a sign to let people know why they were closed and when they were re-opening. This is very inconvenient to everyone who took the time to load up 'garbage' in their vehicles and now either have to unload it again and re-load it another day or try and find another scrap metal place. Fool me once, Manatee Metals... this is no way to run a business.

In the 80s I got into playing with cars and I saved up enough money working every part time job I…read morecould find (and made a few up along the way) to buy a 1971 Firebird although I can't recall the job(s) they were all legal and definitely sucked, I remember the sucking part more than the job. But that sun beaten red beast at the mechanics shop with 400ci two barrel carburator had to be mine, so the jobs didn't matter. One day it was mine and I hot rodded around with my buddies, cranking Metal and going to the junkyards when stuff failed under the hood with screwdriver and vice grips in hand. My friend who's 6 foot 6 had a little yellow VW Rabbit with a piece of rotten sausage stuck to the side, it was a big piece and appeared snake-ish on his wheel well. He wanted to sell it as it was trashed so we went to the junkyard to scrap it. The sausage stuck when I threw it at the little electric banana two seater as we were drinking and grilling in the Adirondack Mountains, he decided to keep it on to see how long it would stick. At the junkyard some new guy got into the Rabbit and an older guy took this huge forklift and smashed the tines right through the two windows. The new guy ducked out of the way so fast but he couldn't escape because the older guy lifted the car from below tbe roof up, up and up to probably 20 feet and began shaking it with thr tilting lever. This poor guy was screaming and the old guy was laughing and kept it up for a few minutes before lowering the new guy to safety. This type of mob humor don't happen at Twisted Metal, it's a straight shop with creat phone and counter customer service. My tail light was showing about $120 and up at the autoparts places, AutoZone and O'Reilly and I took it away for $70 with tax included, used but in great condition with linkage and bulbs.

I was going to this place for the last couple of years after I was done unloading my steel I drove…read morethrough an area where I wasn't supposed to because there was nobody directing me where to go so after I drove through that area, I got screamed and yelled at one of their employees started to get in my face and I asked him nicely. Hey, please don't scream at me. I had other stuff that needed to be cashed in like my wire and batteries so I told them how I felt. They decided to refuse service. They shouldn't have yelled at me if they don't like their job or if they're dope sick and they don't have money that's their problem.! if they don't like their job, they shouldn't be working. This is not the first time they need to learn how to interact with other people instead of screaming and yelling at them and belittle in them. I know Randy is a very nice guy, but it's who he has working for him. I'm very disappointed in this. I end up leaving without getting paid for my steal because I was so disgusted. They could've handled it much better and so can I you don't yell and scream at people they said they tried to get my attention, but I did not hear them, but they need to have people directing where to go. It doesn't matter if I've been there before and treat people much better. I'm so disgusted about this. Makes me not wanna run a scrap business specially if I have to deal with behavior like this! After they yelled and screamed at me, that's when I cursed at them because I need to stand up for myself if they would've had people directing people where to go I probably wouldn't have made that mistake, but they were the ones who started screaming at me first! Whether who's right or who wrong you don't yell and scream at somebody ! I'm sorry for my part but they shouldn't have yelled and screamed at me and things would've been much better. If you guys would've been directing people that's all that's all I gotta say. That's why I left without getting paid for my steel and Plus. She refused services. ! I'm a business owner too, and I would never yell and scream at somebody like that right or wrong nothing's gonna changed on what happened today!

Didn't have the tools to fix it. Went to a load of different computer repair options in sarasota and bradenton(Like every store, I just graduated fsu, I'm broke af). Over 200$ to fix my screen! Ridiculous The part was only 45$! Not to mention all the places had to "hold my computer for 24 hours" to do their "own diagnostics" before they would even replace the screen. But I knew what my issue was but alas I got talked down to by desk boys who didn't know the difference between a linux vs windows operating system. Until I came here! Best group of peeps you will have the pleasure of leaving your computer with, they're ridiculously fast (fixed my screen in 2.5 hrs) only charged me 110 for the whole thing! And they're so freaking polite, they show you what they did, they'll talk you through the process, let you keep your old parts/or recycle them for you.
