- After driving the Hoovie's Garage 7 series BMWs 1,000 miles, it's finally time to drop them off at the salvage yard. J&J Auto Wrecking is giving us unprecedented access to the yard where they have tons of enthusiast cars and more H2s and H3s than I could count. The place is literally filled with Hummers. This might be the ultimate salvage yard tour, and we did a ton of crazy stuff that's coming up!

#BMW #ALPINA #ALPINAB7
I love how he compliments every car he sees. Seeing the positive in everything!
Love J&J. Very cool people. Awesome video JohnRoss.
Thanks Wizard! Pleasure working with you
Should sell tickets for junkyard tours, $10 for Brougham basic, $20 for Volvo luxury.
$2 for toasty Vette
Well I guess I know you didn't head right back home after dropping off the Alpina. That was cool to see, thanks. 👍
10:40 Aging Wheel would love that Think
He reviewed one awhile ago and it was amusing as expected.
I've spent so many happy hours in scrap yards, I find it very relaxing, used to help out at my local one when I was younger.
We have the Tyler Hoover collection over here XD
Loving the no nonsense tech knowledge of this channel. No hoop. No shoop. It's a learning channel. Keep up the good work.
This is awesome! I love the personalities of the J&J Auto wrecking Crew! Really interesting 😊
Love the Gremlin X
Me too! So sad to see one in that condition about to be parted out.
Dude, you so need to bring that Gremlin back to life!
I bet Robert from AgingWheels would be interested in that Think
Man I love the rev match in my C7.
Auto Auction Rebuilds yooo what’s up Randy!
Love touring junk yards. Brings back memories of when I was a kid with my dad.
Cool that they clean the cars up before taking them to their final resting place.
You should have used the Komatsu to pick up the 944 for your needed part.
That's the first time I saw a Gremlin X in about 40 years.
10:30 "standard Chinese lights"....
The same ones used in the Lamborghini Diablo and the Pagani Zonda S, and most buses around Europe.
...Saleen S7, the list goes on 😆
Yep
The moment I saw the video entering the yard, I realized I bought some leather seats for my 1990 Town Car like 2 years ago from them when I was passing through The area. Seats were MINT as advertised - it was pouring rain, and they had them under cover in the pickup area.
Super nice people behind the counter, great customer service. I’ll remember them now - looks like they are fun to hang out with too!
Gidday, just like Copart but only friendly and fun. Great video, I am surprised no one has done this before. Great advertising for J&J and many thanks to them. When driving the Komatsu, you run over it, you bought it.
Only an American would say that about an hotel room overlooking a highway: "that's a great view!" 😂😂😂
Only an egyptian would make a comment like that
That hotel overlooks the Cuyahoga river valley. One of the best hiking areas, and it’s right in Akron. N.E.OH Bob

-buzz sound-
Wrong! Try again! 😂
@@bobstroud9118
What valley? For sure you can see green but the most prominent thing is a bridge and infrastructure
I used to have a 1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Brougham just like that. The back seat in that thing was HUGE, especially if you slid the front seats forward a bit. Ahhhh, the memories...
I missed the Merkur Scorpio. I always loved that car!
Grab that Mark5.If you don't love it by half way home,Hoovie will when you get there.
12:43 that blue car in the back what a beauty!
I’ve always thought it was fascinating that they put 5 cylinders in the H3s.
It's literally a far worse Colorado. The Colorado from that gen with the 5 cylinder was perfect, the H3 is too heavy and has no visibility. For many years I considered it the worst car ever made 💯
My only memory of a Colorado is my uncles brand new one not starting at Gillette Stadium in 2007. Figures.
worst engine ever.... timing chains on the front and back of the engine
@@WatchJRGo just rode through Yellowstone Park and the Grand Tetons in an H3. No room in front or rear, no power, and generally was the worst vehicle I've ever ridden in.
My dad has had a Colorado for years and always been perfect.
Thanks for the walk around 💯🚘🙌
Buick Roadmaster! Id like to have one over here in Europe
I’ve always wanted a hummer lol I loved the look of them once they came out
I always want a hummer but my wife always tell me no.
@@pospc2 They are honestly great vehicles. My parents own an H2 and they are speedy vehicles for being so big. It has been in 3 fender benders and it has not come out damaged once. The H2 sits pretty high so any car that rear ends it usually gets slid underneath and hits skid plates.
Now you kinda want a Gremlin? Yea, you do! Owned 2 of them, they're great and bulletproof.
Wow, that is like the paradise of car parts,👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The Robin Williams "Cadillac Man" Allante!! Who didn't want one of those when that movie came out?? LoL ;-P
Great video JR! First time I've ever heard someone speak so lovingly about a PT Cruiser.
Ya know...what spoke to me the most was they kept switching out cars so they would not kill the one they were driving. That means a lot and suggests they care about what they have in the yard and also suggests they also care about their customers. It was a good ad for them.
RJ full of surprises. Surprised I didn't see any drool off the side of his mouth. 😂😂😂
Great video share! Reminded me of the "Lost Places" video pilot JR did a while back.
Sad to see the end of those cars, but glad the parts will help others live on.
My Grandparents had that talking New Yorker when it was new before they went Cadillac crazy. It was a funny car. "You door is a jar." Lol
Poor hummers. They suffered so much during their existence because of gas prices. I’ll never give up my h2.
What a cool place. I could walk around there for hours.
I used scrapyards in the UK, quite a few years ago.
Part of the fun, was climbing up a six car "tower", dropping into your chosen vehicle and getting the bits needed.
No health and safety bollocks.
My son went to a "scrappy" late last year, and said all the parts are itemised or the staff get them, while you wait at reception.
The scrap prices are also much more expensive now, as everyone is so much more greedy.
That wrecked C6 Z06 corvette in the beginning is a Wil Cooksey 427 Special Edition! Only 427 in the US and 505 in the world... it NEEDS TO BE SAVED!!!
Frame is bend so bad. Front cross member is all cracked and twisted. Broke the torque tube. Basically need a whole car. It can’t be saved
Thats an awesome salvage yard
Damn that City car thing has Lamborghini Diablo taillights, Ford focus 2005-2007 turn signal stocks / steering wheel / light switches, 2008-2011 Focus door handles, I own a 2005 focus, this totally jumped at me, its like a car made out of parts bin from every car manufacturer lol, recycling to its best !
With such great varied content and timely uploads how is it you don’t have 250k+ subs?
Love your videos man
Sweet!!!! J&J auto wrecking looks so badass!!!!! :o Looks like a fun place to work!
In Florida all junk cars have to be drained before parking... so once it comes in it wont run anymore. A/C, brakes, oil , PS trans... to keep nastiness from getting into the groundwater. Its cool they have cars in the yard that start.
Did you say 370 zed? Hell yeah to representing us Canadians.
I love salvage yards!! I always spend way too much time at pick-n-pull yards just browsing!!
What an inventory! Shame they didn’t have any Prius’s though...
That's why it's an enthusiastic junkyard. No Prius there.
Mario Nelson The Prius is an enthusiast car in some people’s books
Glad to see some 90s Lincoln's and Caddys. And those Buicks!!
Someone get Scotty Kilmer, he needs another Celica! 11:25
This is so cool to see this place after how many times they’ve come through for folks here in Wichita!
Smokey and the JR Bandit!
I have a Hummer H3... and theres really not many parts I can borrow from Colorado’s beside engine parts and stuff like that... so the H3 is it’s own vehicle.. I love it... I do however wish they never put the I5 in it.. and gave it a better transmission..... The H3 Alpha is definitely the better choice..
The Alpha is pretty cool, 5.3 for the win! 💪
That's why people like Kondor Buildz recommends H3 Alpha so bad.
I've been hearing you talk about this place for some time and never realized until this episode that I live 15 minutes away.
Thank you so much! I have been wanting to check out their yard ever since you and Hoovie started using them.
I remember the wizard was working on a caddie xlr not that long ago and he had a very difficult time finding a new radiator for that car at a decent price. It was crazy!
Amusement park for dudes! Great tour!
I remember being in an AMC dealer November 1976 , the cost of the new 1977 gremlin was $2886.00
So many enthusiastic cars there. Yeah, there are a lot of Hummers but very few Alpha 5.3L
Great tour and loving the Volvo action, I’d love an XC70
You’re in my city!!!! My boyfriend and I enjoy watching your videos!!!!
I used to tear apart cars and run a loader in a 15acre junk yard, now i fix volvos, love the 2001-2003 xc70s, after that they started getting too many weird electrical issues, and who doesnt want a v70r
Thanks for stopping by. Best location in the nation! N.E.OH Bob
This is crazy never seen one like this before
I knew where you were as soon as you pulled back that curtain! I go to the University of Akron. What a great city.
I go to Kent , never was a fan of akron
Jr
Another great video thank you man when I use to buy and sell cars I was always going to the junk yard for parts great times their so many cars to look at in junk yards
Phil in the uk
A lot of good runners
This was insanely FUN! Thanks John and J&J!
Well the tour was great and it is worth watching. Thumbs up and thanks for the tour .
17:04 That Volvo looks tough!
the older ones drive better and last longer
My Sentra SE-R has corona at the moment so its sat in the garage waiting for some new spark plugs, cos Bike weather is here!
That was a big boom......
Good video! Very interesting. You definitely know your cars
Awesome stuff as always!
5:07 GREMLIN!
12:12 OMG! LOVE that car!
Number 11 :) They made it!
That is impressive! Glad to hear you can appreciate a PT, I own several, my mom has a series II Dream Cruiser which is the orange on black, I have a black on black GT & a Turbo Convertible in cream.
I have a 2006 Limited, bought it with 114K on it, and I have to say that it's been a great car! I've taken it on several 1,000+ trips and not a single problem with it. I originally bought it to drive around while waiting for my 2000 Jag XK8 to get a new gas tank (the old one rusted out and filled the car with strong gas fumes), but I like the PT Cruiser so much I haven't bothered fixing the Jag for almost 2 years now! I love my Jag, but the PT is such a well-thought out car, everything works, love the high seating position, the flexibility of the huge interior, lift back, etc. I've moved a lot of stuff in it that would never have fit in the Jag. The PT is an excellent car!
God damn ! I'd kill for something like this down under. Wrecking yard of dreams!
That was really great. And a perfect presenter for this considering this channel's USP
The headunits on those Think! cars are standard.
I used to work at a dealership here in Indianapolis that sold Think! Cars.
Dude if I knew you were in Akron I would’ve called off work and bought you a drink lmao
North East Ohio brothers.
For sure.
You're all a bunch of worthless nuts haha!
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿Akron Akron
My favorite video yet!
I wish germanys junkyard were like that😍😍😍😍
Leave it to the swedes! 🇸🇪 Volvos forever! Lol
I owned one Chrysler product, it was a 1970 New Yorker. Biggest Land Yatch ever, also the biggest gas hog and scrap heap ever. My mother gave it to me to use for work. I couldnt afford to even keep gas in it. That was in 1979.
I like that lincoln continental
I wish I could buy that Cruiser - especially if it runs & drives. That was a pretty decent tour.
15:38 goddamn this is a good time lol
10:10 *Think City* for the win! 💪🏻
An Alfa 164 USA spec??? Someone save the entire car or only the "3.0 V6 Busso" engine under that thing because it sounds soooooo good! That engine is a legend here in Europe!
Three beards....then John Ross
Pretty impressed you seem to know a lot about cars of all different makes
This is treasure in Indonesia.. 👍
I'm always happy when an auto enthusiast knows Volvos hehe
You are in my neck of the woods! Not a whole lot here!
I seriously want that gremlin.
best part of the Gremlin was the gas cap. I saw a picture of one with a 426 hemi in it, cool.
More of these if you can! Loved this video!
Guess who have manual PT cruiser with 75k miles on it. THIS GUY!
Hey JR. Nice to see you were in my neck of the country. I live in Columbus. I know where the salvage yard is. Anyway, if I had known you were going to be that close, it would've been cool to meet up. If you're ever in Columbus, lunch is on me bro. Take it easy, Joe.
