About PARTS
Welcome to the Pennsylvania Automotive Recycling Trade Society (PARTS).
    For over 40 years, PARTS has represented the interests of quality professional automotive recyclers across Pennsylvania. PARTS provides services and programs designed to help auotmotive recyclers succeed in the marketplace.

    The automotive recycling industry plays a necessary and crucial role in the efficient, ecological disposal of inoperable motor vehicles. Although sometimes known as auto salvage dealers or dismantlers, professional automotive recyclers deal strictly in the recycling of motor vehicles - i.e., domestic and foreign automobiles, light and heavy-duty trucks, buses and motorcycles. 		    Automotive recyclers are a valuable source for economical and often hard to find used motor vehicle replacement parts. Professional auto recyclers use computer and satellite communication systems that enable for direct inventory assessment as well as locate parts across town or across the continent, by simply entering the appropriate data into their computer system. This technology allows recyclers to maximize their inventories and provide quick and efficient service to their customers.

    If you are an auto recycler or dismantler who is not yet a member of PARTS, visit our member services and programs page to check out the benefits of becoming a member of PARTS.
