Automobile Wrecking (Wholesale) is a subcategory of the Motor Vehicle Parts, Used (Wholesale) industry. This industry involves the buying and selling of used or salvaged vehicles for the purpose of dismantling them and selling the parts. The companies operating in this industry typically purchase damaged or totaled vehicles from insurance companies, auctions, or individuals, and then dismantle them to sell the usable parts. These parts can include engines, transmissions, doors, hoods, and other components that are still in good condition. The remaining scrap metal is then sold to metal recyclers.
