    how many cars are you doing at a time? How IN DEPTH are you going to be...ie pulling just the interiors, switches and electrical goodies or full on, pull the engine, front and rear axles ETC ETC??? If are are not doing but a couple at a time, striping the easy stuff and then selling the carcass as scrap, I am not sure you have to get a junkyard license. I am in GA as well, but I just do ewaste. I did not get any special license except my LLC...but then again it's a different animal.



    EDIT: apparently there is a designation for a used vehicle parts dealer....that might be what you need to get. Check with GA Dept of Revenue and Sec of State and I am sure they can point you in the right direction (that was where I found the used vehicle parts dealer designation)

    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    Not my yard, I'm retired.

    So you want to be the Amazon of the scrap industry adding grocery’s and alcoholic beverages to the list of items you sell.

    Have you considered being a parts broker, years ago all the major wrecking yards were inter connected via Telex. I'm supposing new technology has taken over but the fact remains that any legitimate registered yard is able to source parts via a national communication system linking yards together.

    You could have the sourced parts drop shipped directly to the customer and work out of a shoe box office with only a computer linked to participating yards..

    From the photo below the size of the yard does not support the vendors inventory offerings on their website, its clear to see that parts sourcing is a major part of the business.
