    Still waiting to hear back. I applied on friday morning, nothing as of 10am this morning. Hoping they accept my registration. Or at the very least tell me if and why they wont!
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    Do you need a business to get an account at RAS? I only do a few cars here and there so not sure if I would qualify.

    They only know what you tell them
    I thought you had 2 or 3 bays and 3 dismantlers working for you
    average 6- 8 units a week

    I set it up in my name

    I live about an hour from them and go down every other month
    No where in CT is further then about 2 1/2 hours from them >> Do you plan on bringing your parts to them?
    If so all you need is a drivers license or other proof of ID and they buy the parts and cut the check
    Check drawn on BOA >> I stop on the way out of town and cash it about 10 mins after I get it

    I plan on delivering the parts to them. The big thing for me is to access to the software to get the pick list.

    I used a Company name to get the access and then just a drivers lic the first time I went there
    after that , just your name is needed unless you have cat's >> Then they want to see ID

    Riverside Towing
    Riverside Salvage

    I am registered, but I can only find a page where you input the year/make/model and it gives you what parts off that particular vehicle they are buying, mostly just starters, alternators/calipers/steering racks. I even tried inputting a 92 Dodge Stealth to see if the ECU would show up but it does not.
