Sooner or later they'll get yours
Two of Lawrence's auto salvage owners, Tom Hayden and Charlie Mills, say that auto salvaging, selling junked car piece by piece, is a good business.
"It's good because everyone has a car and they all break down," Haydon said. "As long as this country has cars, there is going to be a need for cheap parts."
Who will own your car 15 or 20 years from now? Chances are that it will be sitting in an automobile salvage yard, waiting for a second life.

Hayden uses the Auto Wrecking and Junk
Company, 712 E. Ninth St, and Mills Area.
Hayden has owned his salvage yard for the last years. He used to work in another company as a mechanic.
Fees are required for camping in certain areas.
"The salvage yard business gets into your blood if you've done it, lion enough. It does that."
MILLS HAS owned his yard for 25 years and now has 600 cars in a yard that started with six. He deals in many types of cars manufactured between 1928 and 1978.
According to Mills, an salvage yard dealer needs mechanical aptitude and the ability to operate machinery.

"It's a tussle to be able to fix people up and exactly what they need," Mills said.
"The bad thing about running a salvage yard is that everyone looks down on it. Everybody thinks it is an eyesore and the city is always against you. People don't believe in it," he said, sitting in a salvage yard, they would be sitting on the street, "Hayden said."

BOTH MEN agreed that starters and alternators were the most sought-after parts, and that engines, transmissions, radiators and fuel pumps were behind
Both men were concerned by the way their businesses are viewed by the public.
The Authentic Chinese Restaurant in Laurence
The two men had different outlooks on how to buy wrecked cars.
Mills said that he enjoyed the auto salvage business because there is no set day-40-day reserve.
"I only ask two questions." Hayden said. "Will it start and will it run. If it will start and run, it is possible it can be sold as a used item or strength of that I can pay $10 more for it."
"One day you may be selling engines and the next day you may be selling body parts."
"It comes from experience," Mills said. "I try to buy supplies that are in demand. Right now there are more Chevrolet drivers with drivers, so Chevrolet parts are in demand."
"Most people want things they don't know the name of."
MILLS WENT even further to defend his job.
Hayden employs six people and Mills employs seven. Both say they are making a
"Auto salvaging is a necessity and is an industry that is important to society both practically and economically."

"You can't make a million dollars, but you can do all you right. Doing this is a lot better."
"All cars eventually end up in a junk yard," Hayden said. "Every day when I walk down the street and see all the cars, I know that some day I might own them all."
Although auto salvaging may not be a big business now, those in the business dream
