Default Pics of my new shop, towing business is booming.

Business is doing pretty good here!

First off the towing business and auto recycling business is absolutley booming! I am making a killing, and its fun.

Second we got the keys to our new shop finally and will be opening that up shortly. It is 5500 SQ feet and very resonably priced.

Third I still manage to find time to buy and sell cars. We are doing great with that too.
currently only 1 car in stock a 98 CRV EX


Here are some new shop pics









And if anyone is bored the recycling and towing website is www.millersrecycling.com and the shop site is www.midwest-autoworks.net

It is indeed a great business. We've been in the repo business for the last 6-7 years, and bought out a towing company about 6 months ago. We have a lot of account likes Asurion, All State, Progressive, etc..

Two of our trucks;


We have 2 more of the Dynamic ****** trucks, and another International rollback. Looking to get a heavy duty very soon.

It's a great business, but a LOT of overhead to cover, especially if you're just getting started.

We have the self loader pictured and an 01 c5500 dmax flatbed.


We do towing, repos, junk cars.

I will not say what we profit per junk car, but we did do 148 of them last week.

Midwest - Didn't you used to sell 3000gt parts?

So, whats the business model like?

Do you guys buy junker cars and part them or sell them as scrap?

How are repo's lucractive - good commission on successful ******?

Repos are actually a waste of time if you ask me, we are getting paid 250 to 300 a car unless its a baller *** car, you waste days looking for them and in the end dont get a lot anyways.

Junk cars we part out quite a few.

We are going to be doing a ton of import car parts out of the shop someday, but I dont want it to sound like im promoting business here so ill leave it at that.

As far as 3000gt parts, no i never sell those
