Most of the employees have been with the company for many years - Facilities & Assets
- This is a clean, modern yard which is environmentally sound. At over 25 acres of flat land, the yard is larger than most auto salvage yards. Currently 2,400 cars on the premises, with space for up to 4,000 total. There is ample warehouse space for engines, transmissions and small parts, as well as warehouses for the equipment for weather protection. The facility has a modern 4-bay dismantling building and lots of parking for customers and employees. The Company uses the Pinnacle yard management system and Car-Part as well. The owner of the business owns the real estate and will offer a lease with right of first refusal for the buyer of the business to acquire it.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The Company is able to buy a sufficient number of cars at a reasonable price. Employee costs are under control. The auto recycling industry is mature, so there have always been competitors. The key is to offer great service and make their parts available to recyclers across the country via Pinnacle and Car-Part.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The company recycles 90-100 cars per month. The current owner has the cash to buy enough vehicles to feed the dismantlers, keep the sales staff happy, and generate profits. A wealthier owner could ramp up car buying even further, hire a few more staff members, and increase profits. Once the new owner is comfortable, there are dozens of yard owners in neighboring states that are nearing retirement age and willing to sell.
