The automotive recycling effort is estimated to be responsible for the saving of more than 5-million barrels of oil each year that would have otherwise been needed to manufacture new automotive repair and replacement parts and accessories. The automotive recycling industry also reduces the levels of pollution in our environment. The automotive recycling industry keeps highways and roads and unspoiled land free of abandoned and disabled motor vehicles by providing a safe and environmentally friendly site for the deposition and disposal of these vehicles. The automotive recycling industry helps decrease insurance rates by the purchasing of inoperative vehicles from insurance companies. This helps the insurance industry recover some of their claims losses.
Insurance companies are a major source of parts vehicles for automotive recyclers.
Automotive recyclers offer warranties on most repair and replacement parts and accessories that often rival the warranties offered by new parts manufacturers. Automotive recyclers can often locate parts faster than new parts dealers because automotive recyclers are connected by land line, computer and satellite communications links to other recyclers around the world. Your automotive recycler is a major asset to your community as a source for low cost, warrantied repair and replacement parts and accessories and as a major contributor to environmental conservation and pollution prevention efforts.
