Recycling: Leading Edge

Cypress Auto Recyclers (CAR), prides itself with its forever-forward thinking attitude towards recycling. If you read the ‘History of Cypress’ and ‘Auto Recycling Then & Now’ sections you will understand how CAR has moved the auto recycling aspect of its business into the 22nd century!

The following is a step-by-step guide of the journey every vehicle takes once it enters CAR:

  • As soon as any vehicle arrives at CAR its details are entered into the CAR inventory system.
  • The VIN number and scrap title is verified to ensure that CAR parts are the correct interchange.
  • All fluids are drained, which means they are caught and then disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.
  • The vehicle then undergoes a detailed inspection.
  • CAR’s experienced, trained technicians then disassemble the vehicle.
  • Components, which are non-recyclable, are removed and destroyed in compliance with EPA rules.
  • Parts, which are salvageable, are then tagged with VIN, stock number, year, make, and model.
  • These saleable parts are then entered into the CAR inventory system.
  • The scrap vehicle is then recycled.
  • And all this is achieved in a green, Eco friendly, all-indoor facility!

CAR was founded in 1972 by the Percey family to provide its customers with recycled and reclaimed parts in excellent condition. By using these replacement CAR parts, its customers are ensured of receiving accurately described items at the fraction of new cost!

CAR is dispelling the myth that, ‘recycled’ may mean ‘damaged’ or ‘inferior’. For 35 years, CAR has provided its customers with inexpensive, recycled, and reclaimed parts of excellent quality.

To make itself even more environmentally friendly CAR is an all-indoor facility! This minimizes the chance of any accidents where hazardous materials are released into the air, soil or water.

So the future looks much greener when you use CAR.

Recycling - What’s in it for You!

  • Save $ $ $ - up to 5X the cost of a new OEM part.
  • Save Time! – Often recycled parts are in stock and therefore available now, whereas new parts can be on a back order of 2-10 days.
  • A recycled part is at least as good as the good parts on your vehicle.
  • Recycled Foreign and Domestic parts all become ‘American Made’ products.
  • The more we can recycle, the better it is for our environment.
