Old cars and trucks that have come to the end of their usable life often end up in a salvage yard. Salvage yards, like Orthodox Auto Company, provide a way to dispose of vehicles safely by recycling and reusing as much as the vehicle as possible. Here is a basic rundown of the services we provide.
Auto Salvage
When a vehicle arrives, we drain its fluids, such as coolant, oil, and fuel. Then it's disassembled. Some of the key things typically removed from the vehicle include its gas tank, tires, and battery. Many quality parts still have usable life, and can be refurbished and sold as used auto parts. Meanwhile, tires could be retreaded (and sold), or used as fuel or ground rubber. If there's still a purpose for a certain part or component, the salvage yard will help find that purpose and utilize it. Items such as floor mats and window controls can be resold if there's a demand. Some metal parts can be recycled as scrap metal. After usable parts and interior fixtures, like the seats, carpeting, and console, are removed from the vehicle, the entire vehicle’s body/frame can be crushed and recycled. It's an environmentally-friendly process that saves a lot of junk from going into landfills.
