Essington Avenue Used Auto Parts Essington Ave, Philadelphia

Was looking for an 08 Passat rear windshield because mines got destroyed from a bird dropping a small rock (I wish I was kidding but cameras tell me otherwise) and happened to stumble across their store on eBay. Tons of parts online which made finding what I need quick and efficient, so plus on that. Decided to give them a call since a brand new one was $250. Person on the phone was nice and courteous; requested a quote on the item listed on eBay and if there was a local price to which we struck a deal on since it was only 10 minutes away from me. Went over the same morning to pick up. Was a bit confusing on who to talk to but there's a big metal door that you enter by ringing the doorbell (also kind of hard to tell where if it's your first time). Got to the counter and was greeted by the receptionist (forgot who but there were 2 people with the same name I believe). I told them my order, paid and received the item as described! Overall a great experience and saved me a ton of money. I will definitely be coming back to them for future parts should I need them since they have a wide variety selection and easy to navigate eBay store to get what I need. I see that they buy junk cars, so that's something I might try out in the future and update the review accordingly when I do decide that.

This was the only place out of 11 that I called that had parts for my car. They sold me them at a fair price and even threw in extra parts I ended up needing.

Essington Ave Used Auto Parts picked up two cars from me. They gave me a very fair price for them. They were extremely professional from the very beginning, with prompt courteous service from everyone involved with the transaction. I have decades of experience with cars as a hobbyist and a professional working within the industry. Service like this, that is delivered on time, as promised, with courtesy is extremely rare. I highly recommend them.

I recently salvaged my car here and it was such an easy process!! I was contacted via email after I filled out the online form on their website. They picked up my car from the mechanic and sent me a check in the mail within a couple days. Nick was also super helpful in taking some pictures of the car for me. I highly recommend. Very professional and so nice too.

This is the BEST place to go if you need any used parts for a great price. All parts are tested before selling them. 30 day warranty as well. Nick and his staff were very helpful and welcoming. Nick even went the extra mile as to come look at under my hood and make sure I was buying the correct part. Very honest people. Very nice family oriented business. Waiting room is very clean. I have all but nice things to say about this place! Oh and me and my grandma enjoyed driving down the driveway to witness old antique fire trucks, ambulances, police cars, etc. Cool

Essington made selling my disabled Accord easy. They made a fair offer, showed up right on time and paid as agreed on the spot. In under five minutes, the transaction was completed and the vehicle was on it's way. Essington made the best of a bad situation. I would definitely call them first next time.

Seemed like a decent place when I called yesterday for some parts spoke to a nice women over the phone fender $75 and a passenger marker light $30 !! Showed up today a bald headed gentleman at the counter quoted $175 for the fender and $35 for the marker light? I was hustled for sure and didn’t appreciate that since it was allready quoted by Sam well they will crush that car anyway, it’s bad business my friend u have a lot of good reviews that’s why I showed up and it seemed the prices where reasonable when I spoke to Sam over the phone… u didn’t even have the decency to confirm this with Sam u just gave it to me up the wasool. I only bought marker lights and had to pass on that fender because you’re nuts I won’t pay youre price. Go ahead and don’t help me out and honor a quoted price from a fellow owner / worker crush that car with the fender who cares let this review haunt you forever.

They had the car part I needed for a fair price. In this case a hood. Their customer service seemed above average for scrap yards, not taking long at all to tell me whether or not they had the part I was looking for. They took my old busted hood off my hands at no charge. And one of their employees helped me attach the new one as well which was appreciated.

Great email communication with Nick, prompt response to quote request and answers to my additional email questions. Paid over the phone and was told about 2 hours for the part to be pulled. One hour later I received a call that part was ready to be picked up. Location was a bit hard to find for a first time customer but all was good. The building is clean, and organized, and the service at the counter to pick up the part was great. Would definitely recommend this location and will keep it in my resources for future parts needs. Thank you Essington Auto for a great experience!

Super easy to work with! Used the online submission process which couldn't have been any smoother. Really fast service, fair prices paid and car was gone 24 hrs later by a nice tow driver. Highly recommend!!

It was a painless transaction. I filled out the online form for a price quote for my junk SUV. Nick got back to me quickly and gave a fair price. I emailed back and called the office. By 1pm the vehicle was picked up and I had my money. Would definitely use Essington again.
