Great place to get your Porsche parts at large discount! Bob and Mel are always very helpful!!

Called on a Friday afternoon, looking for 2003-04 Boxster convertible top (roof, glass, frame/mechanism). Bob answered the phone, was uncertain, but went to have a look. Yep, had one on a recent arrival! I had planned to pick it up the next time I was in Sacramento, but Bob said they did deliveries and it'd save me the trouble (plus they are not open on weekends). Price: $100 Good deal, so I accepted... it's a 2.5 hour drive for me to Sacramento, hence 5 hours total roundtrip. $100 is cheap. I asked when it could be delivered. He checked with the staff, since someone needed to have time to remove it from the car. He said Monday afternoon! Pretty quick. After hanging up and paying for the part, I realized I hadn't asked it's condition or color. I had asked if the rear window glass was intact - and it was. The rest I figured I could deal with. Monday afternoon, my wife calls to say the part arrived, and it's in GREAT SHAPE! All my concerns were unnecessary. The delivered roof was much better than the tired top with faded plastic window we had on our car. Spent an afternoon swapping the tops, and it's excellent - it looks so much better then the original roof and functions perfectly. This was a great experience, would definitely do it again. Highly recommended, read more

The radiator on my bmw had cracked while commuting to San Jose. I tried calling around to different dealerships and stores in SJ with no luck of finding the part. Stranded a 100 miles away from home, I started calling stores in Rancho knowing that we have lots of recyclers. The guy who helped me at Specialized German was awesome. Not only did he have the part, he did what he could to help me including getting it delivered SAME DAY! Of course I paid for the delivery but in my opinion it was a fair fee for same day 100 miles away. Whoever the guy was earned me as a customer for life. I will always call these guys first for my parts needs. read more

Great place for all your used German auto parts. Mel was very helpful. Everyone at this business I dealt with was very nice easy to work with. Plus they beat all prices from every other place I called. Parts also come with the 3-month warranty which is very good for used parts. read more

Had a engine I got from them That had been put together to hide a compression issue . Engine was junk and not what they said . Payed online had it shipped to me in nc had a professional install. . read more

Purchased the part I needed through eBay and was able to do local pick up .Fast and easy transaction .

I'm rebuilding a 2002 996 911 and these guys have come up clutch every time I've needed a part. From whole fenders to axle's and even little brackets. Thanks to Mel for being the go to guy for me. I'll definitely keep doing business with them. read more

Bought an engine from these guys to replace my blown engine. (F10 M5). At the start the person I delt with was very nice and informative. I knew buying an engine from a junker yard was pretty risky. The man I spoke with put all my worries to the side. Claimed they did some kind of 10 point inspection and that the engines they sell are never bad and always in top condition. So I buy this engine. Spend the money to swap it out. Crank up that bad boy. It runs great! Awesome!! But that was idle and not under any load. We take it off the lift and put it in drive. The thing seizes almost instantly. After some tests we determine the engine is no good. I was disappointed, not really mad. Just disappointed. Spent a good amount of money and lots of time has now gone by, and we are still at square one. I wasn't mad at specialized German, because I'm an understanding guy. I get that maybe they missed the issue with the engine because it was buried deep inside. THIS IS WHERE THE STORY GETS GOOD!!!!!! Honest to God I would have never left this review if it weren't for what happened next. I call in calm as can be., speak to my original rep the cool nice informative guy.. I say.. "hey guys that engine you sold me seized it was no good.. what can you do for me" I kid you not, immediately this guy has the audacity to say "my shop doesn't know what they are doing" and "they must have dropped something inside the engine" and "we know that engine was good." Immediately they tried to distance themselves from any type of responsibility. Honestly was expecting a "oh man that sucks. I'm really sorry to hear that" some type of empathy for my situation. None at all. I ended up talking to maybe three or four different people within the company. All of them rude by the way. Pretty much yelling at me. I'm a customer lol. They are yelling at me! Long story short. I fought with these guys for almost a week. My shop found irrefutable evidence that the engine was damaged before we got it (welded and painted over). I DID end up getting my money back for the engine, after fighting with them about it. But lost thousands of dollars in shop hours /fees that this place didn't cover. Saw these guys at Bimmerfest month later. Swear to god if I knew they had been there I would've made a picket signs, and stood outside of their tent the whole day. read more

Amazing customer service. Very honest. Bob was very helpful! Definitely recommend! Thank you so much!

Specialized German Recycling - This is the crooked establishment that sells bad parts and worst customer service beware - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

I needed a replacement combox to fix my bluetooth/auxilary/usb on my BMW car and this place had the exact part I needed used in what looks to be very good condition at a reasonable price. Buying part used and installing it myself saved me hundreds of dollars vs the dealership. I asked a few questions on the phone before ordering and whoever I spoke with was nice and answered my questions. Shipping via the USPS priority mail was very fast. read more

This place sucks! The employees not wearing mask, they talked to you like you don't know shit! All Seating down like they are just waiting for the clock to run out. Wow read more

5 stars! This is the best always lucky enough to find new parts and they also have windows as well to my surprise. The staff of men at this location is very friendly. Will always come here to get parts. read more

Unwilling to help I'm within the two years they mention to have a receipt pulled up, they refuse to send me one with the miles on the engine. rude individual more apt to argue than to help someone who spent three thousand on an engine, this is why I'm leaving this review so you and everyone can see to hopefully change your rude ethics like if your doing me a favor. Don't call me your bud, buddy treat me with respect like your treated!. read more

Bought some parts for my e31 1995 840ci from these guys , great service and price always on point.... If you looking for good quality parts for your "german" car - that`s the place to go, talk to Marco, really cool guy and knows his stuff. read more

Great prices and good customer service, was easy to find the parts I needed and staff was very friendly

I highly recommend these guys. Tony is awesome and provides the best customer service. He got me a low miles BMW transmission and shipped it to the East Coast for me in record time keeping me informed the entire way. I later figured out my control module was damaged as well so he quickly followed up sending one of those as well. These guys can get you what you need to matter where you are in the US and they are honest and straightforward. A pleasure to deal with. read more

SMOKING ENGINES SOLD HERE!!!!!!! Between Bad Motors & Rude Employees- STAY AWAY!!!!!! I purchased a Used BMW Motor for $5K that according to the SGR company it was Tested, Cleaned and has unlimited Warranty for Parts. this is stated on their website in writing and no where on their Invoice states this oil is leaky & smoking or bad. At the Time The salesman ( Marko) offered me another expensive Motor over 7K, But i asked for the one at $5000.00 is it Good, tested and under warranty right? He stated that Yes , this will go fast so you need to order ASAP. When I installed the Engine by a approved BMW Auto Service company they noticed it smoked from the Tailpipes. Marko from SGR right away stated "All Motors Smoke from BMW, You need to call Them! for a recall. BMW said No, your so called Vendor should Honor their Warranty. With SGR already trying to blame BMW I disputed the charges right away, since they cant be trusted! Now they are LYING that they verbally said that this motor will leak oil & Smoke!! But Invoice say nothing of this status & website says Tested & Warranted. Why would anyone spend $5K for a bad motor? in addition to spending thousands to Install the engine. These guys Lie through their teeth ( see other reviews) . Started Investigations through Better Business Bureau & SF Channel 7 Live Investigations . read more

Specialized German Recycling - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

Terrific service and prices. If you need odds and ends for your specialized German car (I have a boxster S) chances are they have what you're looking for. I got a set of four larger tires and a fender liner for a great price. Straightforward service, reasonable at negotiations, and friendly workers. I'm new in town and just got my car, so the fact that this business is here is a great blessing. Looking forward to doing business w them again as necessary. The owner is very reasonable and friendly as well. read more

I love this place and they have my future business. I got an engine replaced for my 1997 BMW 528i and they found multiple engines and even were able to give me a mark down on the engine ! Pretty good delivery for an engine and I loved their customer service :))! Awesome ppl ! read more

We have been to Specialized German Recycling twice. Both times Bob took care of us. We not only got what we were looking for, for my Porsche, but the parts were perfect! If you love cars, that is extremely important. Thank you for making life a little easier!!! We'll be back read more

These guys are superstars. I ordered a hard to find part on Christmas Eve and I had it in two days! Not to mention it was half the price of anywhere else, the part is in perfect condition, and it came cross country with free shipping! The customer service guy was on top of everything from start to finish. I am totally impressed. read more

Extremely fast service; I was texting with someone on Wednesday afternoon asking about selling them my old car, on Thursday morning their driver showed up with a check, winched my car onto a trailer, and towed it to their yard. read more

Amazing place. Went there for the first time to get a window motor for my Porsche but ended up leaving with a race exhaust and headers for flea market price. Customer service is great and the array of items in stock are even better. I highly recommend this place if you ever need working German parts. The only down fall is that you can't go walking around the yard looking for whatever, but ask and you shall receive. read more

I purchased a rear lens for my Porsche from this company through E-bay. Unable to get the work done for three months due to a foreign trip, the package was not opened. The body shop opened the package and discovered it was the wrong color for the car. I requested a refund or exchange for the right part, but was refused since it had been over thirty days. read more

Came here to get parts for my Audi today and got everything I needed! They are very clean and organized. They don't take forever to look for parts. Very fast and professional. I was in and out of there in 15 mins with all my parts! Would for sure go back read more

I ordered a complete engine from SG and so far I'm pleased with the price and process. I haven't received the engine yet so we'll see. I've been working with Marko and he's been professional and responds in a timely manner via phone or email. At this point I would recommend Specialized German for all your German parts needs. read more

Same day delivery and the items were exactly as described! Asked for a pic of the item before buying....got the pic in 1/2 hour.... Excellent! read more

I'd give this company no stars if I could. I recently bought a motor for a customer and the customer ended up backing out of the job. I went to return the motor to these guys to get my money back and come to find out they don't do cash refunds not even with a restocking fee. I told the guy this wasn't explained to me before the purchase nor was it posted and the guy pulls a little plack from behind the counter that says no cash refunds. Thats some crooked business practices, also it's 2017 what kind of place doesn't do a cash refund? I wouldn't even have minded paying a restocking fee for the trouble but no these guys run their business that onces they have your money, your not getting it back. I also took pictures of inside the office and outside the office showing they don't have their signs posted saying their return policy. California law states it must be at the door to the business and at each register clearly visible. Now I'm out 650 dollars and stuck with 650 dollars in credit to a place I've never been too but this one time and to a place that has crappy customer service and even worse business practices! I will be contacting the district attorneys consumer affairs office with my pictures and story and will be going from there. I also will not be recommending any of my customers buy from these guys. DON'T BUY FROM THESE GUYS UNLESS YOUR ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU WON'THAVE TO DO A RETURN BECAUSE YOUR NOT GETTING YOUR MONEY BACK! read more

ordered a new clutch for a mini price was reasonable part was in the next day.
