Why Lake Orion 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. Lake Orion trucks work hard hauling boats and trailers — burned-up transmissions and blown rear ends are a weekly call for us here. 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.
Pickup logistics around Lake Orion's Green's Park and the GM Orion Assembly plant
Our driver is about 18 minutes from our yard on Cesar E Chavez Ave via M-24 (Lapeer Rd) and Clarkston Rd. We regularly load in Village of Lake Orion, Keatington, Indianwood and along M-24 (Lapeer Rd) and Clarkston Rd. Driveway, street, apartment lot, repair shop or impound — if the truck can legally reach it, we can winch it.
