    what's up with the body on the ion? looks like spray can flat black? or is it plastic dipped?

    looks like you got a decent few cars that have desirable parts
    As for towing that varies from $75 to $225 depending on distance. We service all the way down to Machias Maine and all the way up to Houlton Maine area. I have several more cars coming in at the end of week on top of these. But the average towing bill is around $100 each. As for scrap most of it comes in inside the cars or I get it from site clean ups for Free and haul it in either by borrowing a friends truck or using the car or if my cousin has his car carrier at the job site he also hauls for me.

    The ION was painted flat black but was spray painted tonight purple, white, and a few other colors due to so much rust nothing outside or underneath could be saved. Most of the cars had a good amount of parts available excluding one and the jeep and blazer have had alot of attention. The Ford Expedition wasnt listed on craigslist or Facebook groups yet but will be soon as I get it drained and the converters removed. The front tires on it are brand new and the back are in excellent shape with a almost new full size spare as well.



    All the vehicles pictured plus the ones coming in soon will be crushed by AIM Recycling from Bangor Maine in a few weeks. They drain the vehicles for us and remove any converters we couldnt get when they arrived and haul them to saint john in Canada for shredding.
