    Choosing a Yard

    I wanted to give a shout out to my yard for the great service they provide me on what quite often are daily visits. Those that know me know where I go and I will leave it at that for now but I will say that BohemianLush is my rep and does a great job keeping me posted of prices and what's going on around the yard, not to mention some awesome leads. Not every yard is out there to screw you like some think on this forum, and I hope you all can find one that works for you.

    I HOPE everybody doesn't think the yards are out to screw them. By the same token, I hope they pay attention and make sure to keep their yards honest. Trust but verify.

    Doing some in service work at the Great Dane plant in Brasil, Indiana, I noticed a sign there that read, "Love Your Neighbor, but Mark Your Name on Your Tools!"

    Its all about the best possible price and customer service, both with how I pay my customers and who I sell to.

    Between the forum and monitoring other yards in the area, I stay updated on prices. A few more details about the yard...

    In business for decades and not part of a huge national conglomerate.

    2 large scales for ferrous with visible numbers so you know your weight.

    6 smaller drive thru scales for non-ferrous and a third large scale for mother non-ferrous loads.

    Friendly staff that recognizes it's repeat customers.
