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!

Rathe's made it easy and painless for me to get rid of an old vehicle. They were even willing to come in on a beautiful Saturday to take care of me. Much appreciated and helpful service.
