Business Overview
A long-standing auto recycling and salvage operation established in the early 1990s, operating on a large-scale 134-acre 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 NY licensing position the property as a regional hub for B2B sales, vehicle storage, distribution and overflow capacity. Operations include salvage vehicle purchasing, parts dismantling and resale, scrap processing, and inventory distribution to regional buyers, with roughly 12,000 tons of inventory. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a licensed, large-scale salvage yard with significant land, infrastructure and inventory in place; total opportunity value exceeds $4.0M.
