Scrap yards, the steel industry and economic markets are closely linked. The demand, and the price paid for scrap governs how long a yard will store or how quickly it sells its scrap. If demand or prices are low for any product, volumes for that product build up and the piles get high. When demand and prices rise, stored volumes are sold off quickly to generate a profit. Washington Salvage Scrap Yard is actually two businesses - an auto salvage business and a scrap business.

Washington Salvage Scrap Yard includes plastic kits and ready-to-use cast resin details. The plastic kits are easy to assemble and come with complete instructions. Cast resin details are one-piece hand-painted castings with no assembly needed.

Auto salvage yards buy junk vehicles, store them and offer the good parts for sale to mechanics, repair shops, body shops or private customers. When the vehicles arrive, gas tanks are drained or removed for safety reasons. Tires are removed for transfer to a rubber processing facility. Once the rest of the useable parts are removed or sold, the remaining parts are crushed flat to allow them to be stacked and transported to the scrap yard. Some salvage yards have their own car crusher but most drop heavy metal plates on top of the vehicle or use front end loaders to flatten the vehicle. Crushed cars are loaded on a flat bed truck, semi-trailer or, in some cases, onto a specially equipped railroad flatcar for transport to a scrap yard.

This one-piece hand-painted cast resin casting is a perfect detail for an auto salvage operation.
