Why Drayton Plains sellers get more from the actual buyer
A lead broker sells your phone number and takes a cut before anyone even looks at the car. We are the yard. Drayton Plains is technically part of Waterford and only minutes from us on Dixie Highway — one of our fastest turnarounds. Because we part out the vehicle ourselves, we can pay for the drivetrain, the catalytic converter, the wheels and the clean body panels instead of a flat scrap number.

We regularly load in Loon Lake, Van Norman Lake, Hatchery Rd and along Dixie Highway and Sashabaw Rd.
