Established Auto Recycling & Salvage Yard on 134 Acres | NY Licensed
Business Description
Long-standing auto recycling and salvage operation established in the early 1990s, operating on a large-scale site with significant infrastructure and inventory.
The business primarily serves repair shops and other industry buyers, with approximately 90% of sales generated through delivery and repeat B2B relationships, rather than walk-in traffic.
The size, infrastructure, and licensing position the property as a regional hub for B2B sales, vehicle storage, distribution, and overflow capacity, creating additional revenue opportunities through third-party use or leasing.
Operations include:
- Salvage vehicle purchasing (auctions and supplier network)
- Parts dismantling and resale
- Scrap processing
- Inventory distribution to regional buyers
- 12,000 tons of inventory
The property and scale of operations provide a unique competitive advantage, positioning the business as a regional hub for B2B sales, dismantling vehicles, selling used auto parts and scrap.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a licensed, large-scale salvage yard with significant land, infrastructure, and inventory in place.
Best suited for:
- Existing operators in the salvage industry / auto recycling
- Buyers seeking a platform for expansion or consolidation
- Investors looking to leverage the real estate + industrial outdoor storage component
- Buyers seeking to acquire a dismantler license through purchasing an already-zoned property
- Operators with smaller yards looking for a large-scale hub for vehicle storage and overflow inventory
Total opportunity value exceeds $4.0M
