My vehicle had broken down and needed to be towed. Gave Ben a call and he was able to set up a time for the tow and a fair estimate on the car! It was a super easy process and Ben was very nice! I would definitely work with them again!

Had a dead car sit in a garage spot for over a year since other tow companies couldn’t figure out how to remove it with how close it was to main building-Rathes came by and had it gone within 30 mins, super easy and with a smile

Rathe'a metal recycling center is awesome. It is conveniently located close to Burlington and it's hours are very business friendly. . I love that I am able to recycle my old metal waste that my father has collected for 60 years. Added bonus, I get to converse with Regina on the intercom who operates the the weigh scales and checks you in and out. Great service w great people. It doesn't get any better than that.

They paid me $615 more than the dealership offered me for trade in! I talked to Ben, got the offer and he picked the car up less than 2 hours later. You cannot get more efficient than that!

I generally do not do reviews. Had a good experience here today. Don't know the name of the young man there but received an assessment very quickly on what they could do for me with no rudeness or unnecessary B.S. If it becomes necessary I would do business with them, no problem. Much better experience than Fairfax Salvage. sometimes it just the little things, like COURTESY.

Over the course of the last year we’ve taken 4 loads of various different things to Rathe’s. Appliances, auto parts, random scrap metal, scrap copper pipe, scrap copper wire, and more. Everyone is very friendly, helpful, fair, and easy to work with! Would recommend them to anyone!
