We buy junk cars in any condition and make it simple to sell us your car. In addition, we use this forum to inform and update readers on the auto scrap and recycling business in the US. In this article we asked a few questions of Mr. John Griffin, who manages American Auto in Omaha, NE. American AP deals in used, remanufactured, aftermarket and new OEM auto components. They buy junk cars in both running and non-running condition. Omaha is the state’s largest city with a population of 400,000+ and the city has about 25 inches of annual snowfall and very cold winter months. The interview with Mr. Griffin went as follows:

Q: What are some of the primary functions you handle in managing American AP?

I buy and price inventory, sell metal & cores and everyday management responsibilities.

Q: What types of vehicles (for salvage) are your most sought after?

SUV’s and pick ups

Q: What are some of the changes in the auto recycling industry recently that you have noticed?

The software available for inventory, use of social media and finding more qualified employees.

Q: Are there any marketing initiative(s) that you have used lately that was very successful?

Nothing in particular comes to mind–but a work in progress to say the least.

Q: How does your company track its inventory of vehicles and components?

We use Pinnacle Professional, which is designed for salvage yards

Q: What makes American AP different (unique) in the industry? (Other than that you are also a used car dealer)

Our staff would be the biggest difference. We have reinforced the “customer comes first” mentality and our staff acts accordingly.

Q: Your website indicated that you buy junk cars paying with a check. Do you think you ever lose potential vehicle purchases since not paying with cash?

Maybe a few, but in most cases I would not want the cars that people only except cash for. For example, is there something wrong with it?

It seemed interesting that he pointed out the importance of social media in promoting the business. American also uses the Pinnacle system for yard management, which is obviously quite popular in the auto scrap and recycling business.
