A working yard, right in Amherst.
This is where the cars we buy end up — drained, sorted, and turned back into parts and steel instead of rotting in a driveway.
What happens to a car after we buy it
Every vehicle that rolls into the yard gets processed, not dumped. Fluids come out first — fuel, oil, coolant, refrigerant — handled the way they're supposed to be, not left to leak into somebody's soil. The battery and catalytic converter come off, usable parts get pulled and shelved, and what's left goes out as scrap steel to be melted into whatever's next.
That cycle is the whole business: your dead car is raw material, which is why we can pay real money for vehicles everyone else calls worthless.
Recycling is the honest end of the car business
A typical car is mostly steel and aluminum, and nearly all of it can live again. Scrapping your junker through a real yard means the metal gets recovered, the fluids get contained, and the parts that still work keep other Buffalo cars on the road — instead of the whole thing oxidizing in a side lot for another decade. Better for your wallet, better for the block, genuinely better for the ground it was sitting on.
Looking for a part?
Inventory turns over constantly as cars come in and get processed, so there's no catalog to browse — but if you're hunting a door, a wheel, a light, or something off a specific model, call the yard and ask what's in. If we've got it or something close is on the way in, we'll tell you straight.
