Loved this place! I called 100s of salvage yard looking for a front left hand window for my car in 3 different states and no body seemed to have and parts for that car! However it is a car that I’ve never really seen many of. But I called them and they told me they could have the glass in a week! Great costumer service!

Frank Thornburg

Great service and great price always have the parts I need

Wanda Van Wyk

Loved this place. Reminded me of when I lived on the farm and went to these places all the time. They even have cats there!! I was going to pick up a steering column and the gentleman carried it out to my car and put it in. Now, where in the world do we find nice people like that anymore? Right here I found them. Thanks ya'all

Great place to get parts! Everything automotive! Brandon is the best, very helpful. Got a replacement wheel fast!

Nicole Carlson

There was some miscommunication about my order at first but they really came through for my boyfriend, baby and I when they set us up with an affordable alternator. Their shop was the best price for the part we needed out of the ten or so places that we researched in Des Moines.

Top Shelf Innovations

Just dealt with Brandon as I was looking for a glass t top for a corvette, he didn’t have what I needed on hand but he directed me to a place that did show it in stock. Super helpful and very knowledgeable..... I will definitely make these guys my first call as I need items in the future!

Jim Nespor

Stop by this past Saturday April 29th. Gentleman was very helpful and had all the info for my parts perfectly! Price was very fair. I actually purchased the part and then remembered I needed a small plastic clip- went back out to the yard and he did not charge me for it! (I don't think I believe the other posts that are not good here!) Jim

I tell you what they are out of sight they are one of the best junkyard I've ever been to the people that are so nice I didn't have the tools to get my part off this guy comes out of the shed break out of an impact under the top ball joint the bottom one for me in the steering arm and I'm talking ban we got that axle out of there go inside he's like that's all you need to go ahead and go sir I was like oh my God now check this out I'm in Iowa but I live in Missouri I tried broke down axles rattling like crazy death row the death row take care of yourself when you're traveling guys if you ever had any problems I would definitely stop there they'll definitely take care of you

[ ^ THAT ^ - is not my name - I am on a borrowed computer ] I found these guys on Car-Parts. com and shopped around for specific lower intake manifold for a Ford V6. It's a complicated part and my need was absolutely year-specific. I told them I was not in a hurry for it but lowest cost shipping was a must. Well it got here today MAN WAS IT EVER PRETTY. SOME BODY did a heck of a job carefully taking it off an engine without damaging it, leaving some valuable "extra parts" attached to it AND IT LOOKED LIKE A BRAND NEW UNIT it was so cleaned up you could eat off of it ! MORE time and effort was expended on uber-carefully bubble-wrapping the delicate part before making a form-fit box for it to be shipped in. THANKS GUYS - MEANS A LOT TO HAVE SUCH CARE EXPENDED ON A CRITICAL PART FOR MY ENGINE BUILD ! ! !

Very fast and friendly service! Bought a used car battery a week ago because I was between paychecks and hoping to save a little money, I got it installed and my core turned in and went out to go somewhere the next day and my car wouldn't start. Charged it up for about an hour and went to start my car and it barely wanted to turn over. Battery was junk (ya get what you pay for basically). Had to cough up the money for a new battery or go without wheels all weekend, which wasn't gonna happen, so like the fella said to do at Swift's, I kept my receipt and returned the used battery first thing Monday morning for a full refund, and like the service was previously I could count on another speedy, friendly transaction! Thanks guys, pleasure doing business with you all!! 😊

I needed tools to lower the spare tire on a Land Cruiser and the person on the phone said LC parts / tools are hard to find but he gave me a toll-free number to call. Pretty awesome service since he didn't have to help me!

5/28/21 Very helpful and friendly business. The only salvage yard in town I buy from because their good honest people. Best price too. I will recommend this business to all friends and family.

Doug Chilton

I do quite a bit of business with swifts. They do an amazing job of taking care of their customer and making sure they get them the right part the first time. They offer fair prices are always return phone calls in a timely manner.

Alexis Paulson

I needed a non-working car picked up and they came and took care of it very quickly. Very friendly people, super simple process, no BS. I will recommend swifts to anyone that needs it! Thank you!!

Kevin Castro

Had trouble getting helped at all the other auto salvage in DM but Sam at Trail’s end took care of me, fair pricing and great customer service.. I will definitely be coming back and keeping my business here

Chet Mennenga

Called them for a used steel rim for a 95 Dodge Ram. The guy on the phone said he had one, and would have it ready by a certain time, and when I showed up, BAM it was ready and tagged for price. Price wasn't bad either. I also called for a spare tire set for a Silverado 2500 HD, and the kid on the phone was honest and truthful, he said that they don't usually have full sets handy, due to people always wanting just bits or pieces of those kits, due to loosing them or leaving them on the side of the road, when you actually use them. He said I could come, walk the yard and piece together whatever I could find. Probably going to just order a OEM set, but still I appreciate the honesty. Reading some of the comments, I find it funny that people get upset when they get a part from a salvage yard, and it may have an issue or not work the best. I am not sure what the return policy is or the warranty options they offer, but to be honest, if you wanted a guaranteed part, then go to a parts store and pay the full price. People need to understand, that these vehicles they are pulling parts off of aren't ideal vehicles. Its a SALVAGE yard......you're SALVAGING what you can off a broken vehicle. So the parts aren't going to be pristine. You take that chance.......welcome to the real world of trying to save a buck or two!!!!

Great place for used parts

The place was very organized with there cars. They knew what they had and what i needed. They allow you to take the part off the car your self so you can pick what works instead of getting a bad part. Friendly nice people that are very helpful.

I had a unfortunate situation with my car when I was on a trip halfway to Omaha NE my car broke down and it was about that time to junk it. I towed it Des Moines, IA to a shop when I later decided to have it junked. I spoke with a guy on the phone who gave me the best price estimate that I could find and he told me that I could just mail them the title later, as I didn't have it with me and then they would just mail me the check. Most junk yards I spoke with had a problem with me not having the title. I did all of that and low and behold they followed through, was very painless and I'm thankful for all of their help. Saved me a lot of miles driving!

Amy Strand

They keep dialing my number by mistake. Really polite and apologetic for it each time! Can only imagine what it would be like to work with them! Too bad I do not live in Iowa.

Daniel Hazer

Great Company. Thanks Steve Swift in accounting for assisting me. I thought I had a problem but I was wrong and he took care of me so very well. Thank you!

Doug Sassman

They are great to work with, Jerry is so polite and charming, and he has been there for ever. If they don't have what I need they call around and find it for me. Five Stars, A+

Lilith Wilmot

Brandon was awesome! They didn’t have the part I needed locally but helped me find a shop that did and was willing to ship the part! Thank you!

Ron Haugen

I have done business with them for over 20 years. They sell used parts. The key word is used, not new. Buy enough and there is bound to be a problem sooner or later, BUT when there is they have always been very fair and taken care of me. Buy from Swift's Trails End with confidence !!

Chris Monroe

All the people that work there usually friendly they usually have better parts than the other junk yards good place to go and go in there for 10 years love it
