Hand-picked used cars

Every car on our lot went through the same 40-point intake we sell as a service. You get the sheet, the photos, and the price we'd give a neighbor.

A rail-yard work ethic,
since 2009

Switchyard opened in a former freight depot in the West Bottoms with two bays and one rule: the customer sees the same numbers the tech sees. Seventeen years later it's six bays, a small used-car lot, and the same rule.

  • Diagnostics · misfire★★★★★

    Two shops threw parts at a misfire on my Escape and charged me for the privilege. Switchyard scoped it, sent me a photo of a cracked coil boot, and had it fixed by 2pm for less than either previous bill. The written finding alone was worth the diag fee.

  • Brakes · front axle★★★★★

    Booked online at 10pm on a Tuesday, dropped the car at 7:30, had photos of my rotors with actual measurements by 9. Nobody tried to sell me rear brakes I didn't need. They told me those had 15k left. That's why I keep coming back.

  • Used car · bought a CR-V★★★★★

    Bought my CR-V off their lot after they handed me the full intake sheet: everything they'd serviced, everything they hadn't, and why the price was the price. Three months in, zero surprises. It's how buying a used car should feel.

  • Transmission · verdict★★★★★

    Dealer quoted me a $5,400 transmission. Switchyard road-tested it, pulled the pan, and fixed a shudder with a fluid exchange and a reflash for under $400. They could have taken me for thousands and I'd never have known. Straightest shooters in town.
