Notre industrie adore le changement, ça nous stimule. Et avec tout ce qui se passe, d’année en année, l’industrie du recyclage automobile est toujours en évolution et ce magazine aide à faire circuler le message. Il met l’accent sur l’endroit où nous nous dirigeons tous. Nous sommes fiers d’avoir paru sur la couverture de 2013.
Les recycleurs conservent la tradition tout en faisant évoluer les normes d’excellence de l’industrie.
C’était un honneur de figurer sur la page couverture du dernier numéro. Nous nous sommes joints aux grands de l’industrie qui y ont déjà figuré au fil des ans. Nous savons qu’il y a de nombreux autres recycleurs automobiles qui partagent notre passion pour le service à la clientèle et la protection de l’environnement. Le magazine nous a aidés à créer des liens avec nos pairs partout au Canada.

Year: 2009
For too long the recycling industry operated in individual silos across the country. After Lecavalier Auto Parts appeared in 2009’s Canadian Auto Recyclers it was apparent from the number of congratulatory calls we received that our industry’s national identity is advancing. We are now being given the respect long overdue for the advancements our industry is making.
Depuis beaucoup trop longtemps, l’industrie du recyclage automobile a fonctionné sans réelle cohésion à travers le pays. Après avoir fait la première page de l’édition 2009 du Canadian Auto Recyclers, les multiples messages de Pièces automobiles Lecavalier démontrent que notre industrie s’implante en tant qu’identité nationale. Nous bénéficions maintenant du respect longtemps attendu des autres acteurs économiques du secteur de l’automobile et du public en général grâce aux avancements réalisés.

Ce magazine reflète le professionnalisme développé par l’industrie du recyclage automobile. Le gouvernement, les assureurs, les fabricants et les groupes environnementaux reconnaissent notre engagement en ce qui concerne l’intendance et la qualité. Le magazine a eu du succès pendant le IRT à Québec, l’ARA en Caroline du Nord et le National Forum on Auto Recycling à Toronto. Ce fut un honneur pour moi de paraître sur la couverture.

It was quite an honour to be featured on the second cover of Canadian Auto Recyclers. I didn’t look at it as a personal triumph in any way, but as a triumph for our industry overall. By celebrating the successes of our community we can educate and inform our partners and attract new ones. It’s good to see our industry recognized for accomplishments we have made and for those we will create in the future.
C’était tout un honneur d’être présenté sur la page couverture de la Canadian Auto Recyclers. Je ne le considère pas comme un triomphe personnel, mais un triomphe pour notre industrie dans son ensemble. En célébrant le succès de notre collectivité, nous pouvons éduquer et informer tous les partenaires avec lesquels nous travaillons et en attirer de nouveaux. Nous sommes satisfaits de la reconnaissance manifestée envers notre industrie pour les travaux que nous avons accomplis ensemble et, nous l’espérons, pour ceux que nous réaliserons dans les années à venir.

This magazine reflects the professionalism auto recycling has developed. Government, insurers, manufacturers and environmental groups recognize our commitment to stewardship and quality. CAR has been well received at national and international events, as it helps reflect and showcase the professionalism of our industry. I’m honoured to have been featured.
Auto recyclers in Canada do so much for their communities and the environment. Every year Canadian Auto Recyclers tells that to the world by highlighting all the good work the industry has done. In 2010 I was honoured to share my story alongside many great examples of innovation, creativity and respect for the environment. I look forward to seeing the good work Canadian recyclers continue to do.
Collectivement les recycleurs automobiles du Canada font beaucoup de bien pour l’environnement. C’est un fait que Canadian Auto Recyclers clame haut et fort chaque année en parlant de l’excellent travail fait dans l’industrie. L’année dernière, j’ai eu l’honneur de partager mon histoire aux côtés de plusieurs grands exemples d’innovation, de créativité et de respect de l’envrironnement. J’ai bien hâte de voir le bon travail que les recycleurs Canadiens continuent de faire.

It was an honour to appear on the 2012 cover of CAR, joining other industry greats who have been profiled in the past. We don’t think of ourselves as especially humble, but we know of many others who share our passion for customer service and environmental protection. CAR has been invaluable in helping us connect with our peers across Canada.

Our business embraces change, we’re excited by it. With so much happening within the industry with each passing year, the auto recycling business is always evolving and this magazine helps communicate the industry’s mission. It highlights where we are all headed, and we were pleased to be featured on the cover in 2013.
When Carcone’s was selected to be featured on the inaugural cover of CAR, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. After it was printed and distributed the calls kept coming in: from fellow recyclers, insurers and even from local schools. Nothing had ever been done of this magnitude. I truly believe all our partners have a better understanding of who we are as a group, and the benefits we bring to the table.
Lorsque Carcone a été choisi pour figurer sur la couverture inaugurale du Canadian Auto Recyclers je n’étais pas tout à fait sûr à quoi m’attendre. Après l’impression et la distribution de l’article, nous avons reçu plusieurs demandes variées de recycleurs, de collègues, d’assureurs et même d’écoles locales. Rien n’avait été jamais fait d’une telle ampleur pour promouvoir l’image de notre industrie. Je crois que tous nos partenaires ont une meilleure compréhension qui nous sommes en tant que groupe et des solutions constructives que nous proposons.

EDITOR’S NOTES MOT DE L’ÉDITEUR
Clients Des clients for Life à vie Green Recycled Parts can help you to help them.
Des pièces vertes peuvent vous aider à les aider.
W C e’re excited to announce that we’ve added a new section to the latest issue of Canadian Auto Recyclers magazine. The new section is devoted to those on the automotive service side of the aisle. You can check out the new section for yourself, starting on page 68. Automotive service is a big business, but we suspect it could be even bigger than it is now. If you’re an automotive service provider, let me ask you a question. How often has a brand-new potential long-term client walked into your shop for an estimate, only to walk out again when they hear the price? You know it’s not because your rates are too high. Chances are, they mumbled something about “seeing a few places,” but I’d bet cash that it’s not because they don’t trust you. Sure, they may get another estimate, but they’ll almost certainly get a similar price from your competitors. So what’s going on? Simply put, those folks can’t afford new OE parts. They’re not choosing your competitor. They’re choosing to drive a potentially unsafe vehicle, as they find themselves with few other options. Green Recycled Parts can help you provide them with that option. Not only will you be helping an individual or family to stay safe, but you’re helping the planet by reusing high quality parts. More to the point, you’re showing your client that you’re looking out for them. That’s key to building clients for life.
’est avec une très grande joie que nous annonçons une nouvelle rubrique au magazine Canadian Auto Recyclers. La nouvelle rubrique est consacrée à ceux
qui travaillent du côté de la mécanique automobile. Jetez-y un coup d’œil à la page 68. La mécanique automobile est une grande industrie, mais nous pensons qu’elle pourrait être encore plus grande. Si vous avez un atelier de mécanique, dites-moi : combien de fois estce qu’un tout nouveau client (potentiellement à long terme) entre dans votre atelier pour une estimation et en ressort lorsqu’il entend le prix? Vous savez que vos tarifs ne sont pourtant pas trop élevés. Ils ont probablement dit qu’ils « allaient magasiner un peu », mais je suis certain que ce n’est pas une question de confiance. Bien sûr, ils vont avoir d’autres estimations, mais vos concurrents vont certainement leur donner des prix similaires. Alors, que se passe-t-il? En bref, ces personnes ne peuvent pas se

Canadian Embassy hosts auto recyclers
L’ambassade canadienne accueille les recycleurs
The Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C. has seen more than its fair share of dignitaries and VIPs over the years, but last year it played host to a new group: representatives of Canada’s auto recycling industry. Every year, the Automotive Recycler’s Association (ARA) holds its Mid-Year Board Meeting, Hill Days and Legislative Summit. The Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) is an affiliate chapter of ARA, but more and more each association sees the other as a peer. This year, ARC coordinated one of its bi-annual Board Meetings in Washington, and for the first time ever, the two association Boards met as one. That evening saw 80 recyclers attend a special reception at the Canadian Embassy. Steve Fletcher of ARC welcomed attendees, highlighting the international cooperation between the two organizations. “This is the first time ever there’s been this level of joint effort,” says Fletcher. “Both organizations got a lot of value out of it. We found out how they’re using some of our programs and what’s coming up for them in the near future.”
Au fil des ans, l’ambassade canadienne située à Washington, dans le district fédéral de Columbia, a vu son lot de dignitaires et de VIP, mais l’année dernière elle a accueilli un nouveau groupe : les représentants de l’industrie canadienne du recyclage automobile.

Web upgrades offer VIN locator, multiple part lookups
Des mises à jour offrent des nouveaux outils de recherche
Recent upgrades to a number of association websites should make it easier than ever to source Green Recycled Parts. An extremely sophisticated parts locator network already connects the inventory of hundreds of progressive automotive recyclers across the country. The new upgrades should make it easier than ever for collision repair and automotive service shops find the parts they need. The latest upgrades allow customers to locate parts based on Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), as well as allowing for multiple part lookups. The site still allows users to look up parts based on year and the make/model of the vehicle, but VIN lookups provide greater accuracy. Users simply plug in the VIN along with the parts they’re seeking, and the site instantly lets them know who has the right parts. The websites for ARC, the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA), the Alberta Automotive Recyclers and Dismantlers Association (AARD) and the Automotive Recyclers Association of Atlantic Canada (ARAAC) have all received the new upgrades. Users can experience the upgrades by visiting autorecyclers.ca and clicking “Find Green Recycled Parts.”
De nombreuses associations ont mis leur site Web à jour, ce qui devrait faciliter la recherche de pièces vertes recyclées. Il existe déjà un réseau sophistiqué qui crée un lien entre l’inventaire de centaines de recycleurs progressifs canadiens et qui permet de localiser des pièces. Les nouvelles mises à jour devraient faire en sorte que les ateliers de carrosserie et de mécanique pourront trouver les pièces nécessaires encore plus facilement. Les dernières mises à jour permettent aux clients de localiser des pièces selon son numéro d’identification du véhicule (VIN) et permettent la recherche de plusieurs pièces à la fois. Le site permet encore aux utilisateurs d’effectuer des recherches par année, marque ou modèle du véhicule, mais la recherche par VIN permet de faire une recherche plus exacte. Les utilisateurs peuvent simplement saisir le VIN avec les pièces recherchées et le site indique automatiquement qui a les bonnes pièces. Les sites Web de l’ARC, de l’Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA), de l’Alberta Automotive Recyclers and Dismantlers Association (AARD) et de l’Automotive Recyclers Association of Atlantic Canada (ARAAC) ont tous été mise à jour.

Recyclers return to roots at Hollander Innovation Summit The Hollander International Innovation Summit 2013 was held at the Marriott City Center Hotel in Minneapolis, the home of Roy and Hildur Hollander when they first began work on what would become the world’s largest interchangeable parts system, the Hollander Interchange. The Hollander summit was the first in five years, and delivered two-and-a half days of innovative thinking and business growth strategies. A strong focus was placed on seminars and workshops, with over two dozen sessions in five different tracks.
The opening address was delivered by Rich Lauria, the Managing Director of Hollander, followed by featured speaker Tom Koulopoulos, President and founder of The Delphi Group. One highlight was a panel discussion on alternative utilization of parts. Panelists drawn from insurance, collision repair and auto recycling discussed the benefits and challenges surrounding the use of alternative parts in collision repair and outlined a course of action for the future.
Put the End of the Road…
Back On The Open Road
There’s plenty of life left in Green Recycled Parts. And putting them back on the road is a great thing for the environment, your customers and your business. So offer your customers an environmentally friendly alternative that will save them about half the price of new OEM parts without sacrificing performance or quality. Not only will they appreciate it, you’ll be rewarded with enhanced customer loyalty, trust... and more repeat business.
All our members are certified by a third-party independent audit to meet the standards of the Canadian Auto Recyclers' Environmental Code.

Education rules the day at Car-Part Industry Conference Hundreds of recyclers and industry stakeholders came from across North America to attend the Car-Part Industry Conference in Erlanger, Kentucky. There were ample opportunities for attendees to seek education, whether they were more interested in hearing about new innovations coming for Car-Part’s products, or wanted to receive individualized training on the company’s current offerings. Other highlights included a panel discussion composed of insurers and shop personnel and an examination of industry trends. Attendees also
got an in-depth look at new developments in both Car-Part and Checkmate that the company says will help users improve their bottom lines. Networking is a key part of any successful conference, and CarPart went above and beyond in making sure there were no shortages of opportunities to connect with fellow professionals. The conference kicked off with a reception and networking event, but all the stops were pulled out for the gala social event that concluded the conference.

National association goes for Gold and helps others to go Green.
L’association nationale vise l’or et aide les autres à devenir verts.
The Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) bookended 2013 with two major accomplishments, the launches of the Gold Seal Program and the Grants in Gear initiative. The Gold Seal Program, launched in February 2013, is a voluntary quality assurance accreditation program for ARC Members that utilizes a series of standards and audits to help ensure high-quality recycled parts are reliably provided for repair and service. All ARC members are already audited to the Canadian Auto Recyclers Environmental Code (CAREC). Gold Seal certification takes those qualified members to the next level. “This was the natural evolution of our industry,” says Steve Fletcher, ARC Managing Director. “Recyclers have seen the benefits of their CAREC certification and Gold Seal addresses the needs of our key customers to ensure a smoother interface and experience with our industry.” The Grants in Gear granting program launched in 2013 to award $100,000 to environmental groups, with the purpose of developing environmentally conscious initiatives.

Le programme Gold Seal, lancé en février 2013, est un programme de certification volontaire en assurance qualité offert aux membres de l’ARC. Il utilise une série de normes et d’audits pour assurer que des pièces recyclées de haute qualité soient utilisées lors des réparations. Tous les membres de l’ARC sont déjà audités en vertu du Code environnemental des recycleurs automobiles du Canada (CERAC). La certification Gold Seal amène ses membres au prochain niveau. « C’était l’évolution naturelle de notre industrie », dit Steve Fletcher, directeur général de l’ARC. « Les recycleurs ont vu les avantages de la certification CERAC et Gold Seal satisfait les besoins de nos meilleurs clients, assurant ainsi une meilleure expérience et un meilleur arrimage au sein de notre industrie. » Le programme de subvention Grants in Gear, aussi lancé en 2013, offre 100 000 $ aux groupes environnementaux dans le but de développer des initiatives axées vers l’environnement.

AARDA
ARAAC
BCAR
It’s been a very busy year for the Alberta Automotive Recyclers and Dismantlers Association (AARDA), but one event truly stands out. The association celebrated its 25th anniversary at its 2013 Annual General Meeting and Conference. As President Steven Cox told the assembled recyclers, “the past quarter century has been a remarkable period for our industry as it has dealt with many changes that have come along, not the least of which have been increased environmental standards and expectations … at the same time our members have prospered while growing their businesses.” Cox also told delegates that over the next year they will begin to see the launching of many new initiatives that will propel the association into its next 25 years, beginning with a relaunched website and extending beyond to include more industry advertising and greater collaboration with collision repair shops and insurance companies relating to the use of recycled automobile parts.
The Automotive Recyclers Association of Atlantic Canada (ARAAC) is more full of youthful vigor than ever this year, electing Dalbert Livingstone from Island Auto Supply in Charlottetown, P.E.I., as the association’s new President and Andrew MacDonald of Maritime Auto Parts in Truro, Nova Scotia, as Vice President. Both Livingstone and MacDonald are under 30-years-old. Both were elected at the ARAAC Annual Meeting in Oct. 2013. Many of ARAAC’s younger generation have a passion and enthusiasm for the automotive recycling business that will keep this association vibrant and progressing for years to come. “I think there’s a certain degree of youthful energy that these two persons bring to the industry,” says Ed MacDonald, former owner of Maritime Auto Supply and past President of ARAAC. “There’s a lot of outward thinking in the next generation that I know will help the industry grow.”
Neil James has been re-elected as BCAR Chairman for the 2013/14 season. 2013 was a busy year for BCAR and the executive committee. The association successfully lobbied for changes to the provincial rebuild vehicle inspection program as well as lobbying for changes to the salvage buyer policies of the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC). Now only rebuilder/dealers that are licensed as motor dealers with the vehicle sales authority can buy repairable salvage through ICBC. Also only licensed auto dismantlers and recyclers licensed and registered with the Ministry of Environment can purchase parts only salvage vehicles. B-CAR is also working with the Recycling Council of B.C. to market and promote the association’s end-of-life vehicle stewardship program to the general public. B-CAR will be holding its mid-year meeting on April 26, 2014 at the Penticton Lakeside Resort.
Ce fut une année mouvementée pour l’Alberta Automotive Recyclers and Dismantlers Association (AARDA); une année dont on se souviendra longtemps. L’association célébra son 25e anniversaire lors de son Assemblée générale annuelle et son congrès de 2013. En tant que président, Steven Cox a dit aux recycleurs rassemblés que « le dernier quart de siècle a été une période remarquable pour notre industrie, car elle a dû faire face à de nombreux changements, dont des normes environnementales accrues … en même temps, nos membres ont prospéré et leurs entreprises ont grandi ». Cox a aussi dit aux délégués qu’au cours de la prochaine année, ils commenceraient à voir des nouvelles initiatives qui propulseront l’association pour un autre 25 ans, en commençant par le lancement d’un tout nouveau site Web et comprenant une plus grande visibilité pour l’industrie ainsi qu’une plus grande collaboration avec les ateliers de carrosserie et les compagnies d’assurance en ce qui concerne l’utilisation de pièces automobiles recyclées.
La Automotive Recyclers Association of Atlantic Canada (ARAAC) déborde de jeunesse cette année, car elle a élu Dalbert Livingstone de Island Auto Supply à Charlottetown, Î.-P-.É., en tant que président de l’association et Andrew MacDonald de Maritime Auto Parts à Truro, en NouvelleÉcosse, en tant que vice-président. Tant Livingstone que MacDonald ont moins de 30 ans. Tous deux furent élus lors de l’Assemblée générale annuelle de l’ARAAC, laquelle a eu lieu en octobre 2013. Un grand nombre de personnes au sein de la jeune génération de l’ARAAC possèdent une passion et un enthousiasme pour l’industrie du recyclage automobile, ce qui gardera l’association dynamique et progressive au cours des années à venir. « Je crois que ces deux personnes apportent un certain degré de jeune énergie à l’industrie », dit Ed MacDonald, ancien propriétaire de Maritime Auto Supply et ancien président de l’ARAAC. « La prochaine génération est très ouverte et je sais qu’elle aidera à faire croître l’industrie. »
Neil James a été réélu comme président de B-CAR pour l’année 2013/14. 2013 fut une année occupée pour B-CAR et le conseil exécutif. L’association a fait du lobbying pour changer le programme provincial d’inspection de véhicules reconstruits ainsi que pour les politiques en matière d’acheteurs de matériel de récupération de la Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC). Dorénavant, seuls les reconstructeurs/concessionnaires accrédités en tant que concessionnaire de véhicules par l’autorité pertinente peuvent acheter du matériel de récupération réparable par l’entremise de la ICBC. De plus, seuls les démanteleurs et recycleurs accrédités et enregistrés auprès du ministère de l’Environnement peuvent acheter des véhicules récupérés pour leurs pièces. B-CAR travaille aussi avec le Recycling Council of B.C. afin de commercialiser et promouvoir le programme de véhicules en fin de vie de l’association au grand public. BCAR tiendra sa réunion mi-année le 26 avril 2014 au Penticton Lakeside Resort.

ARM

SARA
The Automotive Recyclers of Manitoba (ARM) welcomed a new member this year: Piasta Auto in Dauphin, Man. Also, every member of the association has now completed the most recent round of CAREC audits, racking up an average score in excess of 85 percent. ARM has also established a Recycled Parts Liaison Committee to work with Manitoba Public Insurance on ways to increase recycled parts usage. Areas for discussion include access to photo imaging and OE parts numbers, which would help to ensure proper parts procurement. ARM has joined with Sobering Auto Electric, Manitoba Motor Dealers Association, Manitoba Used Cars Dealers Association and the Automotive Trades Association to establish the Motor Vehicle Industry of Manitoba Scholarship Fund, for individuals pursuing a career in the motor vehicle industry in Manitoba. Gifts to this fund are pooled and invested in perpetuity.
During the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA) trade show, held from Mar. 22 to 23 in Toronto, MPP and Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of the Environment Phil McNeely told attendees that OARA plays a vital role in the province’s green economy. The association had much to discuss and celebrate at the convention, which is Canada’s largest event dedicated to auto recycling. Long-running programs, such Tire Take Back Days and Switch Out—a program targeting potentially toxic mercury switches—continue their successes. The convention also marked OARA’s most successful trade show yet, with booth space selling out completely near the beginning of 2013, and the 2014 trade show already sold out. 2013 also witnessed a major policy announcement by the Ministry of Environment to consult with the public and overall industry on the implementation of a standards-based licence for auto recyclers.
Despite being only two years old, SARA hasn’t wasted time in taking auto recyclers’ message across Saskatchewan. The day before its third meeting this past spring, SARA representatives met with Saskatchewan’s Ministry of the Environment to discuss and clarify the automotive recycling industry and its mission.The very next day their meeting was held, anchored by guest speaker Donald Cooper and Colin McKeane of Colin McKeane & Associates who discussed CAREC with SARA members. Association Treasurer Cheryl Hoimyr feels it was helpful for members and nonmembers to better understand CAREC, and that most who attended felt good about the automotive recycling industry’s status. SARA President Jack Smith of Top Line Salvage says he is excited by their progress and looks forward to expanding SARA, while leading the provincial charge to standardize automotive recycling practices across Saskatchewan.
La Automotive Recyclers of Manitoba (ARM) a accueilli a nouveau membre cette année : Piasta Auto à Dauphin, Man. De plus, tous les membres de l’association ont désormais terminé les plus récents audits du CERAC, cumulant un score moyen de plus de 85 pour cent. ARM a aussi mis en place un comité de liaison pour les pièces recyclées, lequel travaillera avec la Manitoba Public Insurance afin de trouver des moyens d’accroître l’utilisation de pièces recyclées. Ils discuteront, entre autres, de photographies et de numéros pour pièces originales, ce qui assurerait une acquisition appropriée des pièces. L’ARM s’est joint à Sobering Auto Electric, la Manitoba Motor Dealers Association, la Manitoba Used Cars Dealers Association et la Automotive Trades Association pour établir la bourse d’études Motor Vehicle Industry of Manitoba offerte aux personnes voulant faire carrière au sein de l’industrie du recyclage automobile au Manitoba. Les dons à cette bourse sont recueillis et investis à perpétuité.
Lors de la foire annuelle de la Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA), laquelle a eu lieu les 22 et 23 mars à Toronto, le député provincial et adjoint parlementaire du ministre de l’Environnement Phil McNeely a dit aux participants que l’ OARA joue un rôle vital au sein de l’économie verte de la province. L’association avait de nombreux sujets de discussion lors du congrès, le plus grand événement canadien consacré au recyclage automobile. Des programmes de longue date, notamment Tire Take Back Days et Élimmercure — un programme ciblant les interrupteurs au mercure potentiellement toxiques — sont toujours couronnés de succès. Le congrès a aussi marqué la foire la plus réussie à ce jour : les espaces de kiosques ont tous été vendus dès le début de l’année 2013 et la foire de 2014 est déjà complète. En 2013, le ministère de l’Environnement a aussi annoncé une nouvelle politique voulant que le public et l’industrie seraient consultés concernant l’implentation de licences pour les recycleurs.
Malgré son jeune âge (deux ans déjà!), la SARA n’a pas attendu trop longtemps avant de disséminer le message des recycleurs automobiles partout en Saskatchewan. La journée précédant sa troisième réunion, ce printemps, les représentants de la SARA ont rencontré le ministère de l’Environnement de la Saskatchewan afin de discuter de l’industrie du recyclage automobile et de clarifier sa mission. Le lendemain, leur réunion a eu lieu, animée par le conférencier Donald Cooper et par Colin McKeane de Colin McKeane & Associates qui parla du CERAC aux membres de la SARA. La trésorière de l’association, Cheryl Hoimyr, croit qu’il était bien que les membres et les non-membres comprennent mieux le CERAC, et la plupart des personnes présentes étaient fières du statut de l’industrie du recyclage automobile. Le président de la SARA, Jack Smith, de Top Line Salvage, a dit qu’il était stimulé par leur progrès et avait hâte de développer la SARA tout en dirigeant l’effort provincial pour standardiser les pratiques de recyclage automobile en Saskatchewan.

NORTHERN EXPANSION l EXPANSION NORDIQUE
Northward Ho! ARC members to bring recycling North of 60.
Cap au nord Les membres de l’ARC apportent le recyclage au nord du 60e parallèle.
BY/PAR JANET TAYLOR
Canada’s North presents stunning vistas, unspoiled wilderness and ecosystems found nowhere else on Earth. Progressive recyclers are bringing their expertise to help make sure it stays that way.
O
ver the course of the coming year, a group of ARC members will boldly go where virtually no recyclers have gone before – north of the famed Canadian 60th parallel. Their mission will be to bring their understanding and know-how to remote communities in Nunavut, where vehicle recycling as we know it is practically non-existent. If they are successful, they could forever change the face of end-of-life vehicle management in Canada. Like many industries, vehicle recycling hasn’t naturally spread to the Canadian territories because the vastness of the land eliminates traditional market drivers including proximity to recycling facilities and major parts markets. The result is that derelict vehicles accumulate for years - sometimes decades at a time, and slowly emit their pollutants into the fragile northern environment. If and when end-of-life vehicles are finally recovered, it is often by a group that doesn’t share ARC’s dedication to environmental protection. To address this issue, ARC signed on to support their long-time partner Summerhill in an initiative geared at piloting north-of-60 solutions. Summerhill, with major funding support from ARC, steel recycling giant Gerdau Ameristeel and Environment Canada’s EcoAction Community Fund, will work with industry professionals and northern champions to develop context-appropriate training materials and de-pollution processes. Vehicle recycling experts, including a team from ARC, will then travel to three remote villages to train local community members and ultimately work with them to recover a targeted 250 vehicles. “Developing solutions in northern regions is a natural fit with ARC’s mandate to address Canada-wide concerns and to be involved in the betterment of the automotive recycling industry on a truly national scale,” said ARC’s Managing Director Steve Fletcher when asked about the association’s choice to support Summerhill’s project. “This program showcases the community-focused, entrepreneurial spirit of our members who couldn’t be happier to share their expertise with fellow Canadians.” In sharing this expertise, ARC will help build the capacity of northern communities to manage end-of-life vehicles, which could have wide-ranging positive outcomes in terms of pollution prevention and job creation. The project takes place over the twelve-month period that started in October 2013. 28
Le Nord canadien offre des vues splendides, de la nature sauvage et des écosystèmes uniques. Les recycleurs progressifs joignent leurs expertises pour s’assurer que ça ne change pas.
A
u cours de la prochaine année, un groupe de membres de l’ARC ira là où aucun recycleur n’est allé auparavant — au nord du 60e parallèle. Leur mission sera d’apporter leurs connaissances aux communautés éloignées du Nunavut, où le recyclage automobile n’existe presque pas. S’ils réussissent leur pari, ils pourraient changer à jamais le vis-
age de la gestion des véhicules en fin de vie au Canada. Comme pour de nombreuses industries, le recyclage automobile ne s’est
pas rendu aux territoires canadiens, car leur dimension nuit aux pilotes de marché traditionnels, notamment la proximité aux ateliers de recyclage et aux marchés de pièces importants. Par conséquent, de vieux véhicules s’entassent depuis des années et émettent des polluants dans l’environnement fragile du Nord. Si les véhicules en fin de vie sont enfin récupérés, c’est souvent par un groupe qui ne partage pas le dévouement de l’ARC envers l’environnement. Pour aborder ce problème, l’ARC s’est engagé à appuyer l’initiative de Summerhill, un partenaire de longue date, laquelle vise à créer des solutions au nord du 60e parallèle. Summerhill, avec un appui financier important de l’ARC, du recycleur d’acier important Gerdau Ameristeel et du Programme de financement communautaire ÉcoAction d’Environnement Canada, travaillera avec les professionnels de l’industrie pour développer du matériel de formation lié à leur contexte et des processus de dépollution. Les experts en recyclage automobile, notamment une équipe de l’ARC, iront dans trois villages éloignés pour former les membres de la communauté locale et pour travailler avec eux afin de récupérer 250 véhicules ciblés. « Le développement de solutions dans les régions nordiques fait partie du mandat de l’ARC. Il nous permet d’adresser des préoccupations pancanadiennes et de participer à l’amélioration de l’industrie du recyclage automobile à une échelle vraiment nationale », a répondu Steve Fletcher, directeur général de l’ARC, lorsqu’on lui a demandé d’expliquer la décision de l’association d’appuyer le projet de Summerhill. « Ce programme met l’accent sur l’esprit communautaire et entrepreneurial de nos membres qui sont très heureux de partager leur expertise avec leurs concitoyens.” En partageant cette expertise, l’ARC aidera à développer la capacité des communautés nordiques à gérer les véhicules en fin de vie, ce qui pourrait avoir des résultats positifs de grande envergure en matière de prévention de la pollution et de la création d’emplois. Le projet aura lieu sur une période de 12 mois qui commencera en octobre 2013.

e don’t usually think of scrap tires and changing children’s lives as natural partners. We’re going to have to change our thinking, though, thanks to the Tire Take Back event, hosted by the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA) and Ontario Tire Stewardship (OTS). Tire Take Back Days has been running for several years in Ontario and made great strides. The program met with enormous popularity when it premiered and has done a service to all of the province’s citizens. Unsightly tire piles may not have been relegated entirely to the dustbin of history, but they’re considerably less common, and the numbers decrease every year. Old tires aren’t just ugly. They’re also a public health concern. Water often collects in tires left outdoors. When it turns stagnant, it becomes an almost perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes that can carry the potentially lethal West Nile virus. There’s yet another reason to collect old tires. They’re a valuable resource that can be recycled into a surprisingly large number of industrial and consumer products. A number of communities across Ontario have already benefitted from Tire Take Back Days, not just in having a free tire drop-off, but with having recycled tires returned to them in the form of playground surfacing, speed bumps and much more. This year’s Tire Take Back event ran from May 27 to June 1. During the province-wide event, Ontarians dropped off used tires at the 60 available collector locations. The money from the recycled tires benefited the Sunshine Foundation of Canada, an organization that helps make dreams come true for children with severe physical disabilities or life-threatening illnesses. “Every year, Ontarians are raising the bar for tire recycling and the Tire Take Back program, and we couldn’t achieve this kind of positive year-overyear program success without the support of Ontarians,” said Andrew Horsman, Executive Director at OTS. “This year’s tremendous collection results 30

Les vieux pneus ne sont pas seulement laids, ils sont aussi un problème de santé publique. De l’eau s’accumule souvent dans des pneus laissés à l’extérieur. Quand elle devient stagnante, elle devient l’endroit idéal pour la reproduction des moustiques qui peuvent être porteurs du virus mortel du Nil occidental. Mais il y a une autre raison de recueillir les vieux pneus. Ils sont une ressource de valeur, car ils peuvent être recyclés en un nombre incroyable de produits industriels et de consommation. Nombre de communautés partout en Ontario ont déjà tiré profit des Tire Take Back Days, non seulement parce qu’ils pouvaient se débarrasser de leurs pneus gratuitement, mais aussi parce qu’on les rendait à la communauté sous forme de surface pour terrains de jeux, de dos d’âne et plus encore. Cette année, l’événement Tire Take Back a eu lieu du 27 mai au 1er juin. Lors de l’événement provincial, les Ontariens pouvaient déposer leurs pneus usés à 60 endroits prévus. L’argent recueilli des pneus recyclés a profité à la fondation Rayon de Soleil du Canada, un organisme qui aide à réaliser les rêves d’enfants atteints de handicapes ou de maladies graves. « Chaque année, les Ontariens lèvent la barre en ce qui concerne le recyclage de pneus et le programme Tire Take Back. Nous ne pourrions pas avoir ce genre de succès, année après année, sans l’appui des Ontariens », dit Andrew Horsman, directeur général de l’OTS. « La cueillette phénoménale de

hen it comes to a family business, more is passed along than just the business assets. Long-term success happens when ideals are passed along as well. Dom’s Auto Parts is a third generation business located on over 60 acres in Courtice, Ont., about 30 minutes east of Toronto. The business is owned by Dominic Vetere, the grandson of the founder. “My grandfather bought and sold parts and scrap metal dating back to the late 1930s,” says Dominic. “My father and grandfather opened the first yard on McCormick St. in Toronto in 1964.” High levels of development and already steep property prices made expansion a significant challenge. Just three years after the business was founded, the decision was made to invest in a much bigger property. “We eventually closed the Toronto location in 1974 and moved the entire operation to the new location,” says Dominic. “It was a much larger facility, allowing us to expand, but close enough to Toronto that we could still serve the same areas.” Today a staff of 29 processes approximately 1,400 vehicles a year. Some staff have been with the facility for upwards of 45 years. Dom’s Auto Parts suffered a very serious fire about 10 years ago, one that could have decimated the business. Instead, Dominic and Mickey saw it as an opportunity.
D
ans le cas d’entreprises familiales, les successeurs héritent de bien plus que les actifs. En effet, le succès à long terme existe lorsque les valeurs sont aussi léguées. Dom’s Auto Parts est une entreprise de troisième gé-
nération située sur plus de 60 acres à Courtice, en Ontario, soit environ 30 minutes à l’est de Toronto. L’entreprise ap-
partient à Dominic Vetere, le petit-fils du fondateur. « Dès la fin des années 1930, mon grand-père achetait et vendait des pièces
usagées et de la ferraille, raconte Dominic. Mon père et mon grand-père ont ouvert la première cour sur la rue McCormick, à Toronto, en 1964. » Le haut taux de développement et les prix déjà élevés de propriétés ont rendu toute expansion difficile. Trois ans après que l’entreprise eut été fondée, ils ont décidé d’investir dans une propriété beaucoup plus grande. « On a fermé l’emplacement de Toronto en 1974 et on a tout déménagé à un nouvel endroit, dit Dominic. L’endroit était beaucoup plus grand, ce qui nous permettait d’agrandir, mais c’était assez près de Toronto pour qu’on desserve la même région. » Aujourd’hui, une équipe de 29 employés traite environ 1 400 véhicules par année. Certains employés travaillent pour l’entreprise depuis près de 45 ans. Il y a près de 10 ans, un incendie grave a éclaté chez Dom’s Auto Parts; un incendie qui aurait pu détruire l’entreprise. Au contraire, Dominic et Mickey l’ont perçu comme une occasion.

PROFILES OF SUCCESS l PROFILS DE SUCCÈS “We built a new facility,” says Dominic. “It was a good chance to put in some of the tooling and equipment that we needed to move forward as a safer and more efficient operation. The primary improvements were made in the main facility for processing and depollution of end-of-life vehicles. After the updates, our facility was both more efficient and ‘greener’ as well.” Dominic literally grew up in the family business, starting off with inventory work and later delivering parts and picking up end-of-life vehicles. There’s a lot to be said for learning the ins-and-outs this way, but a forward thinking operator will back it up with formal education when possible. Dominic attended Centennial College on a two-year business course, graduating in 1984. He started working full time right after college. The original Dominic passed away in 1975. His son, Mickey, became the official owner in partnership with his brother-in-law, Gino Guatto. That situation persisted until 1994, when Dominic bought out Guatto’s share in the business and became a full partner. “My dad and I were partners from then on,” says Dominic. “I’ve been very fortunate in that I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with my dad, day in and day out.”
« Nous avons construit un nouvel emplacement, dit Dominic. C’était l’occasion idéale de se procurer les outils et l’équipement nécessaire pour que nous devenions plus sécuritaires et efficaces. Les premières améliorations ont eu lieu dans l’établissement principal afin de traiter et dépolluer les véhicules en fin de vie. Après les améliorations, notre atelier était plus efficace et plus “vert”. » Dominic a grandi au sein de l’entreprise. Il a commencé par s’occuper des stocks, puis a livré des pièces et a cueilli des véhicules en fin de vie. Il est important d’apprendre les rouages d’une entreprise de cette façon, mais un chef d’entreprise avant-gardiste a aussi besoin d’une éducation formelle, lorsque possible. Dominic a donc suivi un certificat de deux ans en affaires au Centennial College et a obtenu son diplôme en 1984. Il a commencé à travailler à temps plein après l’obtention de son diplôme. Le premier Dominic est décédé en 1975. Son fils, Mickey, est devenu le propriétaire officiel, en partenariat avec son beau-frère, Gino Guatto. Ce partenariat dura jusqu’en 1994, lorsque Dominic acheta les parts de Guatto et devint partenaire à son tour. « Mon père et moi sommes partenaires depuis ce temps-là, dit Dominic. J’ai eu beaucoup de chance, car j’ai eu l’occasion de travailler étroitement avec mon père jour après jour. »

Mickey passed away unexpectectedly in December 2013. We can say for certain that there was more passed on from father to son than a passion for auto recycling and a love of cars. Mickey Vetere was one of a handful of visionaries who thought the auto recycling industry could be better than it was. Not just for his own business, but for every facility that wanted to progress and provide superior service for their customers. Mickey, along with like-minded individuals such as Cuppy Katz of Dominion Auto Recycling, Fair Saddy from Corey’s Auto Wreckers, Henry Aumont from Arnprior and Ottawa Auto Parts and others, helped to found CAR, Canada’s first automotive recycling association. This organization served as a predecessor to other associations, such as Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA). John Brunner is the President of Coreline Auto Parts, a full line core supplier, offering automotive cores and rebuilt engines. Brunner met Mickey Vetere in 1977, when he was just starting out. “Dom’s Auto Parts was the first yard I ever did business with, and Mickey was the first recycler I ever spoke to,” recalls Brunner. “Back then I didn’t quite know where I was going or what I was doing, but Mickey took the time to talk to me and give me advice. He also introduced me to a thousand other 34
Mickey est décédé subitement en décembre 2013, mais une chose est certaine : le père a légué à son fils bien plus qu’une passion pour le recyclage automobile et un amour pour les voitures. Mickey Vetere était l’un des rares visionnaires à croire que l’industrie du recyclage automobile pouvait être encore meilleure. Non seulement pour sa propre entreprise, mais pour tous les ateliers voulant progresser et offrir un meilleur service à leurs clients. Mickey, et d’autres personnes ayant les mêmes croyances, comme Cuppy Katz de Dominion Auto Recycling, Fair Saddy de Corey’s Auto Wreckers, Henry Aumont de Arnprior et d’Ottawa Auto Parts et d’autres encore, ont aidé à fonder CAR, la première association canadienne du recyclage automobile. Cette organisation fut le prédécesseur d’autres associations, comme l’Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA). John Brunner est le président de Coreline Auto Parts, un fournisseur complet de pièces usagées, qui offre des pièces usagées et des moteurs reconstruits. Brunner a rencontré Mickey Vetere en 1977, lorsqu’il en était à ses débuts. « Dom’s Auto Parts était la première cour avec laquelle j’ai travaillé et Mickey était le tout premier recycleur à qui j’ai parlé, se souvient Brunner. Dans ce temps-là, je ne savais pas où je m’en allais ou ce que je faisais, mais Mickey a pris le temps de me parler et de me conseiller. Il m’a aussi présenté à des milliers

people after that. He’s an absolute gentleman, and Dominic has the same attitude. I’ve always thought that I would have liked to know the grandfather. He was probably the same type of guy.” Today, progressive recyclers routinely trade parts using common

standards. The accomplishments of the early pioneers helped start the industry on the road to progress. “It was one of the biggest moves the industry ever took,” says Dominic. “In the old days, competitors didn’t do a lot of business with each other. That changed because of those early innovators. They worked hard to set up the hotline that was used to exchange information about parts availability and to set up a ‘road runner’ service to make sure those parts got where they where needed most.” There’s no question that Mickey passed these ideals on to his son. Dom currently sits on a number of committees with OARA, and is a past president of the association. He is also an active member of CARMS, Canada’s premier auto recycling network. Running a business is at least a job and a half. Why would a business owner choose to give of their time to support their association? “I feel that if there’s anything I can do for our industry and the association that has given me so much, I’m happy to do it,” says Dominic. “The associations bring a huge awareness of our business to government, other parts of the automotive industry and community groups. They’ve done a fantastic job of getting the message out that progressive recyclers have a positive impact on both the economy and the environment.” The profile of automotive recyclers as environmental stewards has risen in recent years. Programs such as Switch Out and Tire Take Back Days, have certainly been beneficial. Dominic points out, though, that Canada’s recycling associations aren’t resting on their laurels. The Canadian Automotive Recyclers Environmental Code (CAREC) was put in place last year, and passing the audit was made a requirement of association membership. “The certification program legitimizes our position and how we portray ourselves. Having CAREC as a standard has helped many recyclers progress even further. It’s a roadmap for making sure your auto recycling business not only talks the talk, but walks the walk.” Dom’s Auto Parts walks the walk. Every vehicle is dealt with in an environmentally responsible manner. Tests make sure both body panels and mechanical hard parts are in good condition. Dominic says this dedication to high-quality is why the business is comfortable offering a variety of warrantees on recycled and aftermarket parts. “We offer our customers an aftermarket option on hard to find parts,” says Dom. “For example, window regulators, struts and hubs can be hard to source through salvage. By offering our customers an aftermarket option, we’re able to say ‘Yes’ more often and serve our customers better.”

aimé connaître le grand-père. Il était probablement le même type de gars. » De nos jours, les recycleurs progressifs échangent régulièrement des pièces à l’aide de normes communes. Les réalisations des premiers pionniers « C’était l’un des plus grands pas que l’industrie ait jamais pris, dit Dominic. Jadis, les concurrents ne faisaient pas souvent affaire les uns avec les autres. Ça a changé à cause de personnes comme mon père. Ils ont travaillé fort pour établir le service de téléassistance que nous avons utilisé pour échanger des renseignements au sujet de la disponibilité de pièces et pour mettre en place un service de « courrier » pour s’assurer que ces pièces se rendent là où l’on en avait besoin. » Il va sans dire que Mickey a légué ces idées à son fils. Dom fait actuellement partie d’un grand nombre de comités au sein de l’OARA. De plus, il est l’ancien président de l’association. Il est aussi un membre actif de CARMS, le premier réseau canadien de recycleurs automobile. Gérer une entreprise est déjà beaucoup de travail, alors pourquoi un chef d’entreprise voudrait-il donner de son temps pour appuyer son association? « Ça me fait énormément plaisir de pouvoir faire quoi que ce soit pour l’industrie et l’association qui m’ont tant donné, dit Dominic. Les associations permettent aux gouvernements, au reste de l’industrie automobile et aux groupes communautaires d’être au courant de notre industrie. Ils ont fait le travail incroyable de propager le message voulant que les recycleurs progressifs aient un impact positif sur l’économie et l’environnement. » L’image des recycleurs automobile en tant que hérauts de l’environnement est très récent. Des programmes comme ÉlimiMercure et Tire Take Back Days ont énormément aidé. Mais Dominic note que les associations canadiennes de recyclage ne s’assoient pas sur leurs lauriers. Le Code environnemental des recycleurs automobiles du Canada (CERAC) a été établi l’année dernière et les recycleurs doivent en passer l’audit pour devenir membre de l’association. « Le programme de certification rend légitime notre image ainsi que la manière dont nous nous présentons. La norme CERAC a aidé de nombreux recycleurs à se développer encore plus. C’est une feuille de route pour s’assurer qu’une entreprise de recyclage automobile fait vraiment ce qu’elle dit faire. » Dom’s Auto Parts met en pratique ce qu’elle dit. Tout véhicule est traité de manière environnementale. Des tests font en sorte de s’assurer que les pièces de carrosserie et les pièces mécaniques sont en bonne condition. Dominic dit que cet engagement envers la meilleure qualité est la raison pour laquelle l’entreprise offre une variété de garanties sur leurs pièces recyclées ou de rechange. « Nous offrons à nos clients des choix de pièces de rechange sur des pièces difficiles à trouver, dit Dom. En offrant des pièces de rechange à nos clients, nous pouvons dire “oui” plus souvent et pouvons mieux servir nos clients. »

Recycling Ethic Tabitha Livingstone uses her mother’s example in her drive to improve the industry. BY/PAR ANDREW ARDIZZI
L’éthique du recyclage Tabitha Livingston suit l’exemple de sa mère dans son désir d’améliorer l’industrie.
T
here was a time when Tabitha Livingstone was growing up in P.E.I. when recycling wasn’t common or required,” yet her mother still sorted through their bottles and cans and collected them all the same. Well before Livingstone stepped into her current role as co-owner at Island Auto Supply, her recycling mentality was already ingrained within her. “She recycled everything and the funny thing is that at the time in P.E.I. we didn’t even have a recycling program,” Livingstone says of her mother’s efforts with a hint of pride. Using her mother’s example, Livingstone has dedicated herself to improving the complexion of the auto recycling industry, understanding the importance of protecting the environment from the dangers of processing end-of-life vehicles. “We’ve kept certain chemicals from being released into the environment. People have no idea that this is what we’ve been doing and I guess I take pride in the work the auto recycling community has done and in the work I do,” she says. Livingstone got her start in the auto recycling industry working in the shipping and receiving area of Island Auto Supply. She began organizing the parts areas by part, manufacturer and vehicle type. She says learning how to keep an organized inventory helped the centre as a whole to run more smoothly, and over time employees bought into her method. “It just became something I enjoyed,” she says. “The best way to get into the business is to be in the back and learn it hands on.” Livingstone has made it her mission to increase education and awareness about the industry she’s passionate about, hoping to change the negative perceptions of the business from those who may not understand their operations. “I want people to know about what we do and I want to change people’s minds,” she says. “It’s the satisfaction of doing something positive and I want to be an example that others follow.” She says it’s important to her to preserve the environment for her family’s future, which is why she’s so conscious about the standardization of the industry across the board. “This type of industry can be really devastating to the environment if people aren’t properly disposing of vehicle fluids and if no one is watching us and we’re not being held accountable. “I’d like to see auto recycling become something that people know as an everyday occurrence, like recycling aluminum cans,” she says. “I want to know that when I leave this earth that it will be in a better spot than while I was here.” 36

Q
uand Tabitha Livingstone était petite, le recyclage n’était ni courant ni nécessaire sur l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard. Malgré tout, sa mère triait et recueillait tout de même les bouteilles et les boîtes de conserve. Bien avant que Livingstone ne devienne copropriétaire de Island Auto Supply, son désir de recycler était déjà bien ancré en elle.
« Elle recyclait tout même si à l’époque, à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard, nous
n’avions même pas de programme de recyclage », Livingstone raconte, parlant des efforts de sa mère avec une certaine fierté. Suivant l’exemple de sa mère, Livingstone s’est dévouée à l’amélioration de l’industrie du recyclage automobile, à la faire comprendre l’importance de protéger l’environnement des dangers du traitement des véhicules en fin de vie. « Nous avons empêché certains produits chimiques d’entrer dans l’environnement. Les gens n’ont aucune idée de ce qui nous faisons et je crois que je suis assez fière de ce que la communauté de recyclage automobile a accompli et du travail que je fais », dit-elle. Livingstone a commencé à travailler dans l’industrie dans le service d’expédition et de réception de Island Auto Supply. Elle a commencé à organiser la zone des pièces par pièce, par fabricant et par type de véhicule. Selon elle, apprendre à garder un inventaire organisé a aidé le centre à mieux fonctionner et, avec le temps, les autres employés ont commencé à suivre sa méthode. « C’est devenu quelque chose que j’aimais faire, dit-elle. Le meilleur moyen de pénétrer l’industrie est d’être en arrière et de se salir les mains. » La mission de Livingstone est d’accroître l’éducation et la conscience des gens concernant l’industrie qui la passionne dans le but de changer les impressions négatives qu’ont les gens qui ne comprennent probablement pas les opérations. « Je veux que les gens sachent ce que nous faisons et je veux changer leur mentalité, dit-elle. Il est satisfaisant de faire quelque chose de positif et je veux servir d’exemple aux prochains. » Elle dit qu’il est important pour elle de préserver l’environnement pour l’avenir de sa famille. C’est pourquoi elle est si consciente des normalisations au sein de l’industrie au grand complet. « Ce type d’industrie peut être dévastateur pour l’environnement si les gens ne se débarrassent pas des liquides leurs véhicules correctement ainsi que si personne ne nous surveille ou nous tient responsables. « J’aimerais que le recyclage automobile devienne quelque chose de normal dans la vie des gens, comme le recyclage de boîtes en aluminium, ditelle. Je veux savoir que, quand je quitterai cette Terre, elle sera en meilleur état que quand j’y étais. »

AADCO Auto Parts keeps waiting to a minimum. Mike Davey Don Fraser of AADCO Auto Parts spent nearly 20 years in the repair business before going into automotive recycling in 1999. The experience has given him substantial insights into the challenges facing auto repair and service professionals. “Time is always at a premium for our professional customers,” says Fraser. “We understand how frustrating it can be to wait for parts, so we make it a top priority to get them the right parts, on time and in the described condition.” Located in Toronto, AADCO’s 87,000 sq. ft. warehouse holds recycled OE parts for almost every conceivable use. A strict quality control process ensures that every single part is up to spec before it’s sent out to customers. “We’re always looking to improve the process of course; to do things faster, better and cheaper, and to pass those savings on to our customers,” says Fraser. “Regular staff training and regular investments in new equipment help us to stay on top and keep progressing.” From the initial inspection by a lead mechanic to the careful preparation for shipment, AADCO’s parts are handled with the

utmost care and are continually examined to make sure they match the descriptions on the invoices. All vehicle disassembly takes place indoors. Fraser says this is a vital step in ensuring both high-quality parts and environmental protection. “We’re very conscious of our environmental responsibilities,” Fraser says. “I think that’s the mark of a professional recycling business today, considering yourself an environmental steward as well as a source of quality parts.” A proud member of the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA), Fraser says the association’s Green Recycled Parts slogan, “Good for the Earth. Good for your wallet. Good for your vehicle,” sums up his core beliefs about the industry. “Ultimately, I have a strong belief that we’re trying to leave a legacy for our kids,” explains Fraser, who is a proud father and grandfather. “That’s why AADCO has been dedicated to using strong environmental practices and technology since the very beginning.” With such commitment to its customers and the environment, it’s no surprise that AADCO Auto Parts is a leader in a demanding and challenging industry.

Happy Customers That’s the top priority for the staff at Aldon Auto. Mike Davey An aerial view of Aldon Auto Salvage.
Customer satisfaction is the top priority for the staff of Aldon Auto. The automotive recycling facility sits on 99 acres and is located in Lamont, Alta., about 40 kilometres north-east of Edmonton. The facility is noted even among other recyclers for its approach to customer service and eco-friendly initiatives. In fact, Aldon Auto received the prestigious “Best Yard” distinction from the Alberta Automotive Recyclers and Dismantlers Association (AARDA), an achievement few can match. A family owned and operated business, the current owner is Terry Carter. He says there was a time when Aldon Auto’s rural location might have been a disadvantage, but times have changed. “We have been very fortunate,” says Carter. “Local commerce and industry developed in our favour. When the business was founded, we were situated on a gravel road. Now we’re bordered by Alberta`s Industrial Heartland, Elk Island National Park and the Town of Lamont, and serviced by both primary and secondary highways. We continue to enjoy the benefits of a 99 acre facility, good traffic volumes and good shipping and receiving routes. It’s city living, country style.”
At 99 acres, Aldon Auto has the room to store a gigantic inventory of vehicles. Warehouse and shop space total about 29,000 sq. ft., including eight dismantling bays. “We focus on our core competencies: selling quality recycled parts,” says Carter, noting that the auto repair business is now offsite. “Success starts at the level of salvage acquisition. Having the correct mix of products that are priced to sell help to control downstream expenses including marketing costs, warranties and returns. If you buy right, sales come easier.” Aldon Auto keeps a sharp eye on both the salvage that comes in and the parts that come off. “We use a four-point inspection and grading process,” says Carter. “Everything is then entered into our state-of-the-art inventory system. This means that our salespeople can always accurately describe our inventory to our customers. We pride ourselves on high-quality parts, on time and with no surprises.”

An efficient, customer-centric experience is a top priority for Allwest Auto Parts. Mike Davey If there’s one thing you can say about Allwest Auto Parts, it’s that the business is always ready to try something new, especially if it means they can serve their customers a little better. “We’re in truck country,” says Steven Cox, General Manager of the auto recycling facility located in Edmonton, Alta. “We were finding it challenging to meet those needs with recycled parts, so we reached out to manufacturers for new take-off and aftermarket parts to meet the demand. We bring them in by the container load, and that volume allows us to pass savings on to our customers.” Last year, the business put in a new SEDA depollution rig to ensure that every stage of the disassembly process is as green as possible. In fact, Allwest Auto Parts scored 97 percent on its recent Canadian Automotive Recyclers Environmental Code audit, placing them among the most environmentally friendly auto recyclers in Canada. “Everyone worked hard, and everyone is proud,” says Cox. “This wasn’t something that was driven just from the top. The entire staff wanted it to succeed.
Steve Cox, General Manager of Allwest Auto Parts.
This year, the company has invested in a new racking system. The new racks were designed with staff input from the ground up, ensuring that not only are parts easily stored and accessed, but protected from damage. There’s more to excelling at customer service than new equipment. Cox says they’ve instituted daily morning meetings for all of the sales staff three years ago. He says it’s a great way to not only improve on a daily basis, but to help them remain true to their core business. “Businesspeople tend to talk a lot about attracting new customers. There’s certainly value in growing your customer base, but really, most of our customers are actually repeat customers,” says Cox. “That’s who we focus on. Reattracting and engaging our current customers, especially the professional repairers, is our top priority. We do that by making sure we focus on their needs, and making sure we get them the right part for the job, on time and without hassles.”

Tradition of Excellence Building the business an Aumont at a time. Andrew Ardizzi Efficiency and environmental principles aren’t just standard-form distinctions for Arnprior Ottawa Auto Parts, they’re an essential code of familial honour. Dating back to when Henry Aumont first opened the business in 1967, the Aumont family has adhered to these principles and demonstrated a passion for excellence, a torch both Alan and Alvan Aumont have carried since taking over the business from their father. That same commitment is evident through the work of their staff, with many of Arnprior Ottawa’s current employees having been with the company for over 25 years. Their loyal and committed staff guided the operation through a successful 2013, which Alan feels is on the upswing due to new parts procurement programs. “We’re being very attentive to purchasing the right vehicles that we know are the right ones for us to carry based on what works in our region,” says Alan. “We know our market and we’re attacking it aggressively.” With a positive outlook for 2014, Alan looks back over the last year and sees the winds shifting, with electronic salvage

parts becoming more common and needing extra attention, or the new yard management system that was implemented. But as they’ve shown over the years, the Aumonts and their staff are committed to being on top of the industry’s trends, staying on the cutting edge of new developments while upholding their principle of impassioned excellence. “It’s what you put into it that you get back out from it,” he says. “It’s certainly all looking good. We’re very excited going into 2014 and we’re hoping to see more positive results.” In the long term, Alan and Alvan are working on the succession process in hopes of transfering the day-to-day operations of Arnprior Ottawa to their sons Matt and Nick. “We’re currently working on a succession plan for the boys to take the business over in the next few years,” says Alan. “I have complete confidence in the boys’ ability to guide the company into the future.”

Bodyline Auto Recyclers is expanding to a new facility. Mike Davey There are big things happening at Bodyline Auto Recyclers. The business has operated in Hamilton, Ont., for over 27 years, providing high-quality Green Recycled Parts to automotive repair and service professionals. However, the business has outgrown its current home, and will be moving to a much bigger facility early in 2014. Dave McDonald co-owns the facility with his brother, Jim. He explains that the new facility will allow Bodyline Auto Recyclers to provide even more value for their customers. “The total size of the new facility is about six acres, so it’s approximately twice the size,” says McDonald. “We’re going to be able to keep more stock on hand and fill more orders.” The new facility also features approximately 80,000 sq. ft. of indoor space, providing ample room for crucial steps in processing salvage vehicles to take place indoors. The new facility is located at 3 Beach Rd. in Hamilton, Ont. Bodyline Auto Recyclers also operates a facility in Waterford, Ont. The move will also put Bodyline Auto Recyclers in a location more easily accessible to the rest of the city, while still allowing easy access to transport links.
The new home of Bodyline Auto Recyclers in 2014.
“We function as a sort of transport hub for recycled parts,” says McDonald. “The new facility will allow us to move trucks in and out much faster than before. When we can do our jobs better and faster, it’s going to be a benefit for every step in the chain. Our customers will get their parts even faster, saving them valuable cycle time.” The plans for the move have been in the works since June of 2013. By March of this year, Bodyline Auto Recyclers expects to be in its new home. “I’ve always been proud of what we and our staff have accomplished in a small space,” says McDonald. “Acquiring more room just means we can go even further.” More space will certainly provide benefits for customers, but there are also environmental benefits from having a larger facility. “This gives us a lot more room for indoor work and storage,” says McDonald. “Keeping parts indoors means less chance of contamination, and higher quality parts.

European Style Boston Auto Wreckers dares to be different with a focus on exotic vehicles. Mike Davey Special challenges require special solutions, and Boston Auto Wreckers in Toronto, Ont. is focused on providing them. Boston Auto Wreckers also operates online as Monster Auto Wreckers. The progressive auto recycler located in Toronto, Ont. now specializes on European and exotic vehicles. Owner Mike Maio says it was a move that was driven by a passion for fine automobiles. “When you do something with passion, it completely changes the dynamic of what you’re doing,” he says. “We concentrate on European vehicles and hard to find exotics. We look outside of the mainstream and traditional to source Green Recycled Parts for Volvos, Jaguars, Lambos, Porsches and other vehicles.” Sourcing a recycled part for certain cars can be a challenge, but Boston Auto Wreckers is helping to fill that void. It’s an approach guaranteed to win over customers who share Maio’s passion for these automobiles. “It’s not just owners of these cars who feel strongly about them,” says Maio. “Our customers who work on these highend vehicles are often passionate about them too. They

tend to treat them like their own, and we can help provide them with OE recycled parts that will help them keep those vehicles in top shape, or return them to pre-accident condition in the case of a collision.” The vehicles Boston Auto Wreckers specializes in are rarer than average, so the steps taken to preserve and protect them are above average as well. “We go beyond to make sure no damage comes to the European and exotic automobiles that we buy,” says Maio. Space is tight at Boston Auto Wreckers, as land in downtown Toronto is at a premium. Why take the extra care, when more traditional techniques would save some space? “It’s not just about cars, and it’s not just about parts,” says Maio. “It’s about the passion for automobiles that we share with our customers. I always loved what we did, but now, frankly, I love it a lot more.”

Carcone’s exceeds expectations with passion and knowledge. Andrew Ardizzi Feeling passionate about what you do is an imperative, a driver for reaching success especially in a business where the goal posts always seem to be moving. That ever-present desire to reach your destination can seem daunting, but the answer to the question of whether you can reach your summit is fairly simple. For Michael Carcone, it’s a simple combination of passion and drive. “Often I am asked what motivates me, what keeps me going,” Carcone says. “The answer is simple: I love what I do.” Carcone says he appreciates the daily challenges in the industry that diversify each morning’s experiences, making each new day very different from the previous one. And when those challenges are shared and tackled by likeminded individuals, it’s doubly invigorating. “I get to work with a team of professionals that work together to find solutions to problems, who share the same goals and visions as I do,” he says. In the 36 years Carcone’s has been in business, much has changed. And while emerging technologies will always catalyze the necessity of evolution, Carcone believes how you react to the natural progression of things dictates your success.
Michael gets his love for the recycling business from his father Tony (above).
“It is about how you adapt to change and how you embrace change in the way you operate your business,” he says. “Change is good, change is inevitable and change is going to keep coming.” Often when Carcone is asked “what’s new,” his response is frequently “what’s not new?” Everything is fresh for him: each day, each individual experience, every car that comes through his facility. The constant change and freshness of those challenges and experiences caters to that part of Michael and the team at Carcone’s that loves auto recycling, and at the core of their operation is a simplistic yet powerful mantra he uses every day to exceed his own expectations. “I have said it once and I will say it again. Do what you know and do it the best way you know how to,” says Carcone. “This single phrase was told to me many years ago and it is one that I have never forgotten.”

Team Effort The whole is greater than the parts at Dom’s Auto Parts. Mike Davey Even the world’s greatest leader will fail without the support of a solid and dependable team. Dom Vetere of Dom’s Auto Parts says the hard-working staff members have made enormous contributions to the overall success of the auto recycling yard. “There’s no substitute for a real depth of experience,” says Vetere. “We’re lucky enough to have some guys that have been with the business for a very long time. I’ve known some of them since I was a teenager, and they know the business, know vehicles and they know the challenges that our core customers, repair and service professionals, are facing. You can’t buy that sort of experience or get it out of a book.” Dom’s Auto Parts employs a staff of about 30, some of whom have been with the company for upwards of 40 years. The facility is located in Courtice, Ont., a small community to the east of Toronto. Extensive experience is key, but it’s not sufficient by itself. It’s dedication to the business and the customer that moves things to the next level. Randy Hayes is one of Dom’s Auto Parts longest serving employees. He sums up the attitude shared by the entire staff.
Some of the long-serving staff at Dom’s: Randy Hayes, Bob Hill, Cory Pigeau, Al Stashans, Gisele Derhak, Kemp Powers and Rich Ulrich.
“The business is about more than just parts. It always has been. It’s about people, the people you’ve known for years and the people you’re meeting for the first time,” says Hayes. “In a way, it’s about helping people you’ve never met and never will, because they’re your customer’s client. I’m proud to be part of something that has helped so many people get back on the road.” The staff takes pride in the facility’s environmental standards as well. The facility was recently audited to the Canadian Automotive Recyclers Environmental Code and passed with ease. In addition, Dom’s Auto Parts is accredited under the Gold Seal program, a voluntary quality assurance program for members of the Automotive Recyclers of Canada that essentially guarantees high-quality Green Recycled Parts, with no surprises on delivery. “I always knew our staff were exceptional in how they treated customers,” says Vetere. “This just confirms it.”

Hilltop Auto Recyclers has put customers first for 45 years. Mike Davey Hilltop Auto Recyclers had humble beginnings, dating back to 1968 when Ron and Rob Mollicone’s father and uncle opened a basic self-serve facility in Richmond Hill. Since taking over the business from their father (2003) and uncle (2006), the Mollicone brothers opened a second recycling facility in Newmarket for “U-Pull,” with the original location served as a full service auto recycler. Both sides of the business came together again when the business moved to its new location Cedar Valley in October 2013. “The Richmond Hill location was in what is now a high residential area,” says Ron. “Making this move allows us to move the business forward and grow. Our Richmond Hill facility was just 2.5 acres. Our new Cedar Valley facility is 20 acres. Currently, we’re using six acres for our U-Pick business of about 600 cars, and the full serve side takes up about four acres. A location on a main road (Davis Dr./Hwy #9), and in an industrial setting, means less effort spent battling for space and permits, and an even greater focus on the needs of customers. Above all, staff work to ensure customers are content, and al-

ways coming back for their recycled parts needs. “We love what we do and we do it for our customers,” says Ron. “Our company and staff are always looking for ways to keep our customers coming back, and we do that by offering quality parts and service, giving our customers peace of mind.” Hilltop has stayed ahead of the curve as technology has evolved, adapting successfully to changes in the business to serve repairers, while adhering to the most stringent environmental principles and guidelines. The Mollicones are proud of what their family and staff members have built, while promoting the highest auto recycling standards to industry stakeholders, educating them about the many viable environmental alternatives available to them. “Recyling vehicles every day with the environment in mind is greatly satisfying,” says Ron. “It’s a great feeling to help a great cause—the environment—for your future and for ours.”

Driven by Demand Customers come first at Island Auto Supply. Mike Davey There have been a lot of changes at Island Auto Supply in recent months. The automotive recycling facility is located in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. “We’ve started offering one year extended warranties,” says Dalbert Livingstone, co-owner of Island Auto Supply. “It’s been steadily growing in popularity as more and more people find out about it.” Livingstone says the extended warranties are part of the facility’s current drive towards becoming a Gold Seal recycler. Automotive recycling facilities that qualify for the Gold Seal are among the very best in the business in terms of both customer service and environmental protection. “We’ve extended several of our product lines as well,” says Livingstone. “We’ve recently brought on new tires and new wiper blades to supplement our high-quality Green Recycled Parts, and we’ve also started selling certain chemicals that we know our customers can use, such as degreasers and brake cleaners. ” Island Auto Supply has also recently introduced rebuilt speedometer clusters due to customer demand. At Island Auto Supply,

it’s the customer’s needs that are always paramount. Livingstone says this attitude is apparent in everything the business does. It’s always customers first. “We’re always striving to make sure we give our customers what they need, especially when it comes to our professional customers,” he says. “They’re in a small market, just like we are. We have to do our utmost to support them for sustainable business.” Most recently, Island Auto Supply has started a delivery service for its customers in the Charlottetown area, using trucks branded with the distinctive Island Auto Supply logo. This is a service geared towards the professional customers in collision repair and auto service. “Delivery is something new for us, but I know that it will help professional repairers,” says Livingstone. “We know how crucial time is for our collision repair and auto service clients, so it’s of top importance to us as well.”

McGregor Auto Parts is a beloved part of its community. Mike Davey For over 50 years, McGregor Auto Parts has served the repair and auto service industries with high-quality recycled parts. The business has changed over the years, but co-owners Jeff and Tim McGregor know that one thing never changes: their dedication to customer service. Located in St. Thomas, Ont., the business primarily serves Elgin and Middlesex Counties. However, Jeff is quick to note that they can send parts everywhere. “Relationships with professional, high-quality couriers allow us to bring our parts wherever they’re needed,” says Jeff. With that said, there’s no question that McGregor Auto Parts is part of the local community. The auto recycler is a dedicated partner of the Teen Challenge rehabilitation clinic, a local centre for youths struggling with drug abuse. Local people donate their salvage vehicles to the program, and McGregor picks them up and processes them, leading to more support for the programs at Teen Challenge. “We’re a part of this community,” says Jeff McGregor. “We had over 150 people come out for our 50th anniversary celebration egor Auto Pa Gr rts c M

last year. In a community the size of St. Thomas, that’s a lot.” McGregor Auto Parts inventory includes acres upon acres of high-quality recycled parts, both foreign and domestic. A fully computerized inventory means staff can always find the right information when they need it, cutting down on delivery times. McGregor Auto Parts is also something of an engine specialist. The facility has over 1,000 engines and transmissions on the shelf awaiting customers, and ready to ship all over Canada. It might be this dedication to thoroughness in customer service that’s helped the business to grow over the last several years. “A few years ago, we were processing about 1,500 vehicles a year,” says Jeff. “Currently, we’re at about 2,500. We’ve had to increase the size of our dismantling area to keep up with demand.” Their dedication to customer service has brought the business through its first 50 years, and the McGregors are confident that it will see them through the next 50 as well.

Speed Upgrades Maritime Auto Parts is committed to reducing your cycle time.
The staff at Maritime Auto Parts.
Mike Davey Maritime Auto Parts has a long history of providing high-quality Green Recycled Parts. Under the leadership of Lana and Ed MacDonald, the automotive recycling yard grew into one of the most progressive in the country. Now under the leadership of their son Andrew, there are no signs that progress will be slowing down any time soon. “We’re doing a lot of upgrades to the facility this year,” says Andrew. “The main focus has been making things more efficient, allowing us to serve our customers better and faster than ever before. We’ve done a lot of reorganization to reduce the time it takes to pull the right parts from storage. We’ve invested in new racking for better storage of parts and better equipment to do a lot of the little things that help make sure we run smoothly.” Andrew has a passion for efficiency. A former automotive engineer for Toyota, he is used to building dynamic systems that accomplish what they need to without anything unnecessary. Many upgrades have already been completed, but there are still some being rolled out in the near future. The facility will
invest in new fluid extraction equipment and plans are in the works to build a new disassembly bay. Andrew says the upgrades have already sped up the process by which Maritime Auto Parts gets high-quality Green Recycled Parts to its customers. New equipment and additional disassembly space will serve to speed up the procees even further. “Organization has enabled us to speed up the time between an order coming in and part removal,” says Andrew. In some cases, he notes, the best possible place to store a part is by leaving it on the salvage vehicle. It takes some time to remove the part once it’s purchased, but a supremely organized facility and highly trained team cut that time down to an absolute minimum. “Everything is available to get that part to the customer in under 24 hours, even if it has to come off the car,” says Andrew. “We know how important cycle time is to our customers in repair and auto service, and we always do what it takes to help them succeed. Really, the success of our customers is the secret to our success. By helping them, we’re also helping to ensure a sustainable and green future for ourselves.”

The staff at Miller’s Auto Recycling bring a wealth of experience.
Just a portion of the team at Miller’s Auto Recycling.
Mike Davey Staff members are an integral part of the organization at Miller’s Auto Recycling in Fort Erie, Ontario. “Everything that happens here is directly related to the hardworking, dedicated and trustworthy employees that make up our organization” says Jim Miller, Managing Owner. “Just as importantly, the employees understand how vital their individual roles are in contributing to our overall company goal of providing a high-quality, reliable product in a timely fashion to our customers.” Serving the repair and auto service communities is second nature to Miller’s Auto Recycling. In addition to the recycling yard, the business also includes full collision repair and automotive service centres. “We see the business from the repair and service side as well,” says Jim. “It definitely gives us insight and clear understanding of the needs of our customers, including the challenges they experience such as pressure for decreased cycle times, and limited rental car coverage.” As Jim noted earlier, Miller’s Auto Recycling credits its hardworking staff for much of its success. However, the nature of the automotive recycling business can make recruiting staff challenging.
“We look for people who are committed and diligent workers, and then we do everything we can to retain the very best,” says Jim. “For the last few years, we have thrown impromptu employee appreciation lunches approximately 3-4 times a year to say thank you. It’s our way of showing that our staff members are appreciated. In turn, they pay the company back by showing that they care about our customers.” Whatever the cause, it’s a fact that Miller’s Auto Recycling has extremely good rates of staff retention. Of the approximately 55 total staff, over 20 have been with the company for 20 years or more. This gives them an enormous wealth of experience to draw on when it comes to serving customers. Randy Gullion is the recycling facility’s Operations Manager. He has been with the company for 28 years, and has done just about every job possible in the recycling yard. “It’s a family business, and we’re treated like family,” says Gullion. “Management understands that great customer service has to be built on a solid foundation of great people. We’re a family and a team, and that’s why we succeed.”

LKQ Sonshine Auto Parts recently received an award recognizing the company’s 20 years of committed partnership with Ottawa Fire Services’ Fire Extrication Program. The recycler hosts extrication training and donates end-of-life vehicles.
Mike Davey LKQ Sonshine Auto Parts has recently joined with the LKQ organization, a large chain of auto recyclers with locations across North America. The automotive recycling facility is located in Cumberland, Ont. and serves the Ottawa region. As part of LKQ, the progressive auto recycler says it

can now offer its customers a much greater availability of parts. As an organization, the reach of LKQ is truly global. There are seven locations in Canada and a large number in the U.S. LKQ Sonshine Auto Parts can now offer customers Green Recycled Parts from any LKQ location, vastly increasing what the business has to offer. In addition, LKQ has its own shuttle system, so LKQ Sonshine Auto Parts does not have to depend on outsider couriers. Placing transportation firmly under the company’s control allows LKQ to offer greater assurances that parts will arrive on time and in the best possible condition. A wider selection of parts and guaranteed transport are certainly big draws, but there is even more that LKQ Sonshine Auto Parts can offer as part of LKQ.
can draw on Keystone to get its customers high-quality aftermarket parts when a recycled part can’t be sourced. If you need a used fender and a new headlight, LKQ Sonshine Auto Parts can do that. Customers can realize the benefits and convenience of one-stop shopping for their auto parts needs. There’s no extra waiting when aftermarket parts are used in place of recycled OE. LKQ Sonshine Auto Parts does not keep the parts on hand, but customers aren’t kept waiting. Customers can simply place the order with LKQ Sonshine Auto Parts, and the auto recycler will ship the recycled parts to them, while Keystone sends any of the needed aftermarket parts directly to the customer. The company says it’s a policy that has reduced waiting time to the bare minimum and helps professional customers control their cycle time.

Standard Auto Wreckers builds new facility in Ottawa. Mike Davey It’s been a busy year for Standard Auto Wreckers. The recycler operates facilities in both Toronto and New York, and early 2013 saw the business open a brand new facility in Ottawa. David Gold co-owns Standard Auto Wreckers with his father, Ken. He says the Ottawa deal was a return to their roots. “My father and I spent a lot of time there over the last year,” he says. “We had bought an existing facility, but really we were starting from scratch. We put a lot into cleaning up the facility and bringing it up to environmentally progressive standards.” David says the new facility follows essentially the same model as Standard’s long-running facility in Toronto: approximately half of the business is dedicated to providing Green Recycled Parts from late-model vehicles, while the other half uses the “U-Pull” model. Three locations provides Standard Auto Wreckers with flexibility in making sure they can get the right parts to customers. Every night, a loaded truck leaves the New York facility and heads out to Toronto. By 8 a.m., the same truck has arrived at the Ottawa facility, and it’s almost time for the return trip. “The Ottawa facility opens up new doors,” says David. “We’re

dealing with and getting to know the local collision repair and auto service centres. Online shopping is great, but the fact is that people still prefer to buy from local people.” The environmental stewardship at Standard Auto Wreckers’ new facility should be mentioned. A recent audit to the Canadian Automotive Recyclers Environmental Code (CAREC) scored 90 out of a 100, the highest possible score for a “U-Pull” facility. “All of the depollution is done inside, before the ‘U-Pull’ cars go outside,” says David. “We’ve put a lot of resources into the environmental side of the business.” It’s an investment that has garnered attention at the highest levels. In fact, representatives of Environment Canada recently requested, and received, a tour of the new facility in Ottawa. “The new facility is also just 15 minutes from Hull, allowing us to sell into Quebec,” says Gold. “All together, the picture for the future, and our customers, is the best it’s ever been.”

Constant Improvement Thorold Auto Parts believes in steady progress. Mike Davey Something big is happening at Thorold Auto Parts. The auto recycling facility is in the midst of yet another expansion that will raise them to an even higher level of customer service. “We’re expanding our indoor parts storage area by about 8,000 sq. ft.,” says Frank Serravalle, owner of Thorold Auto Parts. “The expansion will let us keep more late-model Green Recycled Parts on hand to better serve our professional customers.” In addition, the facility will soon sport a freshly redone parking and delivery area. Then again, there’s always something new going on at Thorold Auto Parts. The recycling facility has been providing repairers and automotive service professionals with great value in used, aftermarket and new vehicle parts since the early 1980s. The business has over 23 acres of both foreign and domestic inventory, 30 employees and 10 trucks that service all of southern Ontario. “We’re continuously seeking out new ways to improve the business, whether its new environment-saving equipment or reducing delivery times,” says Serravalle. “We’ve more than doubled our dismantling space in the last few years. It helps us to provide better service to our core customers, the repair and auto service professionals.”
Thorold Auto Parts has also recently installed a brand new fluid extraction system from SEDA Environmental to ensure that no toxic fluids escape and harm the environment. Always a progressive “green” business, Serravalle says the investment allows the business to take this dedication to the next level. “We want to encourage people to dispose of their vehicles with companies that are being environmentally responsible,” he says. “It’s not enough that people come to us for quality parts at good prices. We want to be their destination of choice for their retired vehicles, because we know the job will be done right.” In addition to used, new and aftermarket auto parts, Thorold Auto Parts also has a large selection of refurbished vehicles in road-ready condition. “Rebuilt vehicles are a big part of our company, compared to others who only focus on recycled parts,” says Serravalle. “We perform the crucial service of disassembling and recycling late model, low mileage scrap vehicles. In addition, we always strive to be environmentally responsible in all of our processes.”

Meet Locally, Bond Globally Recyclers learn from each other at ARA/IRT 2013. BY/PAR ANDREW ARDIZZI
O
ne of the benefits of globalization has been the expanded communication capacities it’s afforded us in connecting with people half-way around the world, making someone on the other side of the globe as much our neighbour as those living and working directly beside us. From Nov. 10 to 12, 2013, the international auto recycling community descended on Phoenix, Ariz. to gather for the seventh installment of the International Roundtable (IRT) on auto recycling. This year’s global recycling event took place immediately following the 70th annual Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) convention, which took place from Nov. 5 to 9. Steve Fletcher, Managing Director of the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC), says a continuing benefit of these global meetings is the exchange of information they conduct throughout the event. “I always walk away with a ton of tactical information, but also a lot of operational information like how to run better meetings, engagements or programming for our members,” he says. Fletcher noted that unlike past years where ARA programming at the Convention was limited to a single two-hour bloc for Affiliates, the 2013 ARA convention featured two separate three-hour meetings for the associations present. The first of these opportunities focused on leadership development, discussing how better communication can be an influential factor in developing businesses. “A facilitator came in and worked with us on how we could develop our associations better and forge stronger relationships with each other,” he says. “That was a really good opportunity to get to know some of the other associations.” The second two-hour bloc focused more on the ARA members and their affiliates, giving an opportunity for delegates to discuss the growing trends in their own regions and international effects that can be indicators of developing trends. While Fletcher found the ARA convention quite useful on its own, a highlight for him was the inauguration of Ed MacDonald as ARA President, a distinction only three other Canadians can claim. 58

’un des avantages de la mondialisation est l’amélioration des communications qui nous permettent de rejoindre des personnes à l’autre bout de la planète, ce qui transforme cette personne en un voisin aussi véritable que la personne assise à nos côtés. Du 10 au 12 novembre 2013, la communauté internationale
des recycleurs automobile s’est rassemblée à Phoenix, en Ari-
zona, pour la septième table ronde internationale (IRT) sur le recyclage automobile. Cette année, l’événement s’est déroulé immédiatement après le 70e congrès annuel de l’Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) qui a eu lieu du 5 au 9 novembre. Steve Fletcher, directeur général de l’Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC), note qu’un des avantages continuels de ces réunions mondiales est l’échange de renseignements, lequel a lieu tout au long de l’événement. « Je quitte toujours ces événements avec un paquet de renseignements stratégiques, mais aussi beaucoup de renseignements opérationnels, comme tenir de meilleures réunions, de meilleurs engagements ou de meilleurs programmes pour nos membres », dit-il. Fletcher nota que, contrairement aux années antérieures où la programmation de l’ARA lors du congrès se limitait à une séance de deux heures offerte aux membres, le congrès 2013 de l’ARA avait deux différentes réunions de trois heures offertes aux associations présentes. La première réunion parlait du développement du leadership et mettait l’accent sur le fait qu’une meilleure communication puisse être un facteur d’influence dans le développement d’une entreprise. « Un facilitateur nous a montré comment nous pouvions mieux développer nos associations et créer des relations plus solides entre nous, dit-il. Il s’agissait d’une occasion en or pour apprendre à connaître les autres associations.” » La deuxième séance de deux heures s’est plus concentrée sur les membres de l’ARA et leurs associés, donnant l’occasion aux délégués de discuter les tendances en pleine évolution au sein de leur propre région et les facteurs

“His inauguration as ARA President was pretty noteworthy,” he says. “He’s probably the most internationally-oriented in his mindset towards auto recycling and I think that’s why he was recruited, because he can bring a broader global perspective to the ARA.” MacDonald, an industry veteran who had formerly served as the president of the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC), feels his experience has bolded his confidence in his global recycling business perspective and its development. Shifting focus towards the IRT at week’s end, MacDonald’s rise to ARA presidency was fitting considering his philosophy on the globalization of the auto recycling business. “I’m expecting to reach out to other associations around the world to show them how we can help them and how they can help us,” he says. “I would like to develop a conduit to put the pieces together and develop dialogue between members that can be crystallized from an international perspective.” This is precisely the intention of the IRT, which also heralded the arrival of the Global Auto Recyclers Alliance, an informal information-sharing network allowing recyclers to share information and ideas with one another. “The Alliance is a step forward in the process to formalize information exchange,” Fletcher says. “Recognizing that associations need to have more formal education, responsibilities and insights on things like the IRT, the
internationaux pouvant être des indicateurs de tendances. Bien que Fletcher ait trouvé que le congrès de l’ARA était utile, le clou de l’événement était la cérémonie d’entrée en fonction d’Ed MacDonald en tant que président de l’ARA, le troisième Canadien à être nommé. « Sa nomination en tant que président de l’ARA était assez importante, at-il dit. Il est sans doute celui qui est le plus axé sur l’international en ce qui concerne le recyclage automobile et je crois que c’est la raison pour laquelle ils l’ont appelé, parce qu’il peut apporter une plus grande perspective à l’ARA. » En effet, la nomination de MacDonald comme président de l’ARA est appropriée, surtout vu sa philosophie en matière de mondialisation de l’industrie. « Je souhaite rejoindre les autres associations ailleurs dans le monde pour leur montrer comment nous pouvons les aider et comment ils peuvent nous aider, dit-il. J’aimerais développer un moyen de réunir les morceaux et ouvrir le dialogue entre les membres qui peuvent cristalliser la perspective internationale. » C’est précisément l’intention de l’IRT, qui s’est aussi fait le héraut de la Global Auto Recyclers Alliance, un réseau informel de partage d’information qui permet aux recycleurs de partager renseignements et idées entre eux. « L’Alliance est un pas vers l’avant dans le processus visant à formaliser l’échange d’information, dit Fletcher. Le programme reconnaît que les associations nécessitent plus de formation, de responsabilités et de renseigne-

program itself will become essential to the flow of information.” Fletcher feels the future rests on discussing the international ebbs and flows of the business with likeminded partners, defining common foundations with a focus on harmony and getting things done. “The IRT is about bringing people together, finding common ground, parking your ego at the door and discussing what’s best for the industry,” he says. Fletcher says there was no greater example than the monumental attendance of Chinese recyclers at the 2013 IRT, who have invited the ARA to a Chinese-based event. It’s an opportunity that wouldn’t exist without the IRT. “We got together for a barbecue in the middle of an Arizona desert and sat around a campfire with no one else around,” he says. “For the Chinese delegate that was probably something he’d only ever seen in film, but there we were just sitting and talking about auto recycling, hoping we could make the world just a little bit smaller.”

ments formels concernant divers sujets, comme l’IRT. Il deviendra essentiel au flot informationnel. » Fletcher croit que l’avenir dépend des discussions sur les hauts et les bas internationaux de l’industrie, sur les définitions de fondations communes qui mettent l’accent sur l’harmonie et les résultats. « Le but de l’IRT est de rassembler les gens, de trouver un terrain d’entente, de laisser son ego derrière et de parler de ce qui aiderait l’industrie », dit-il. Fletcher dit que le meilleur exemple est la présence importante des recycleurs chinois à l’IRT 2013, lesquels ont invité l’ARA à participer à un événement en Chine. Ça n’aurait pas été possible sans l’IRT. « Nous nous sommes rassemblés pour un barbecue au milieu du désert d’Arizona et nous nous sommes assis autour d’un feu de camp, loin de la civilisation, dit-il. Les Chinois avaient probablement seulement vu ça dans un film, mais on était là, à parler de recyclage automobile et à espérer qu’on pourrait améliorer le monde, même juste un petit peu. »

MacDonald ascends to ARA presidency Ed MacDonald and the recycling business are hardly foreign to each other, and now he’s primed to take his international auto recycling focus to the global arena. “I was quite humbled and amazed to have the opportunity of taking ARA global and there’s an indication that our industry is going worldwide given that someone from outside the U.S. was elected as the ARA’s president,” MacDonald says. As ARA President, MacDonald hopes to enhance the communicativeness between international recyclers by streamlining the understanding of what it is auto recyclers do, should do, what the aims of the industry are, while most importantly highlighting individual recycling associations, and that recyclers and

C’est un signe que notre industrie se mondialise lorsqu’une personne qui n’est pas américaine devient président de l’ARA », dit MacDonald. En tant que président de l’ARA, MacDonald espère améliorer la communication entre les recycleurs internationaux en simplifiant la compréhension de ce que les recycleurs font, devraient faire, des objectifs de l’industrie, et ce, tout en mettant l’accent sur les associations individuelles et sur le fait que les recycleurs peuvent tant apprendre l’un de l’autre.

affiliates can learn so much from each other. “Because of these networking opportunities it’s becoming far easier to connect with people we previously hadn’t the chance to,” he says. MacDonald made special mention of the Chinese delegation that attended the 2013 IRT, but also noted a group of Russian recyclers who heard about the work Maritime Auto Salvage, MacDonald’s recycling operation, had been doing and hoped to learn from his example. “What was unheard of 10 years ago is now common practice and these partnerships are where the industry is going and we need to keep it moving forward,” he says. Another pillar of MacDonald’s presidency with the ARA is communicating the importance of creating succession plans for their individual businesses, something he has put into practice with his own business. He and his wife Lana sold the business to their son, Andrew. “The aim is to help grow and foster family-run, next generation businesses,” he says. ARC Executive Director Steve Fletcher says MacDonald has the technical knowledge to run an association, combined with an innate ability to bring people together and work towards bettering the industry.
« À cause de ces occasions de réseautage, il est de plus en plus facile de créer des liens avec les gens que nous ne pouvions pas rejoindre auparavant », dit-il. MacDonald a particulièrement noté la présence de la délégation chinoise qui a participé à l’IRT 2013 tout comme la présence d’un groupe de recycleurs russes qui avait entendu parlé du travail de Maritime Auto Salvage, l’entreprise de recyclage de MacDonald, et qui espérait apprendre de lui et suivre son exemple. « Ce dont on n’entendait jamais parler il y a 10 ans est maintenant devenu commun et ces partenariats sont l’avenir de l’industrie. Nous devons continuer d’évoluer », dit-il. Un autre aspect important de la présidence de MacDonald’s au sein de l’ARA est la communication de l’importance de créer des plans de succession pour les entreprises individuelles, quelque chose qu’il a lui-même mis en pratique au sein de son entreprise. Sa femme Lana et lui ont vendu leur entreprise à leur fils, Andrew. « L’objectif est d’aider à développer des entreprises familiales qui seront prises en charge par la prochaine génération », dit-il. Le directeur général de l’ARC, Steve Fletcher, dit que MacDonald a les connaissances techniques

“I think he was brought in for his international focus, because we need to take the blinders off to see the future’s opportunities,” Fletcher says. “Additionally, introducing the new generation in an orderly fashion is a great way to pass the reins and encourage new, fresh ideas.” MacDonald says the biggest challenge for him is making the industry more widely understood by a general public still holding misconceptions. He says it’s imperative to help the public, manufacturers and government understand the auto recycling business and its positive impacts. “To get our message out is crucial,” he says. “We must continue to be environmentally asute, knowledgeable and we must be standardized and continue to hold ourselves accountable to those standards if we’re to be more widely understood by the world.”

pour gérer l’association ainsi qu’une capacité innée à rassembler les gens afin d’améliorer l’industrie. « Je crois qu’on l’a appelé pour sa perspective internationale, car nous devons enlever nos œillères pour voir les occasions futures, dit Fletcher. De plus, une introduction ordonnée de l’industrie à une nouvelle génération est un excellent moyen de passer le flambeau et d’encourager de nouvelles idées. » MacDonald dit que son plus grand défi est de faire en sorte que l’industrie soit mieux comprise par le grand public qui a toujours des préjugés. Il dit qu’il est primordial d’aider le public, les fabricants et les gouvernements à comprendre l’industrie du recyclage automobile et ses impacts positifs. « Il est crucial de disséminer le message, dit-il. Nous devons continuer à être à l’affût des enjeux environnementaux, nous devons nous standardiser et nous conformer à ces normes si nous voulons être mieux compris. »

T
he Canadian Auto Recyclers’ Environmental Code (CAREC) provides recyclers with the most relevant information and tools to prevent hazardous materials contained in end-oflife vehicles from contaminating our water, land and air during and after the vehicle recycling process. This year, Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) approved a policy that all of the provincial associations must require their auto recycler members to have a successful, current CAREC audit. Success is defined as a score of 75 percent or higher. “Current” is defined as within two years if the facility scored less than 85 percent on its last audit, and within three years if it scored over 85 percent. Most of the initial audits were conducted two to three years ago, so the CAREC auditors have been busy all summer long auditing professional recyclers and ensuring they’re still meeting or exceeding the CAREC standards.

prouvé un politique voulant que toutes les associations provinciales doivent exiger que leurs membres recycleurs aient réussis un audit CERAC actuel. Un audit est réussi si l’on a un score de 75 pour cent ou plus. « Actuel » signifie deux ans et moins si le score était de 85 pour cent et moins ou trois ans et moins si le score dépassait 85 pour cent. La plupart des premiers audits ont été faits il y a deux ou trois ans, par conséquent, cet été, les auditeurs du CERAC ont été occupés à auditer les recycleurs professionnels et à s’assurer qu’ils satisfaisaient toujours les normes CERAC.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP l GÉRANCE ENVIRONNEMENTALE There is a wealth of data to go through, but we can look at some of the early reports. The Atlantic region is the only area of the country so far that has both completed all audits and reported the relevant data. As we expected, the progressive recyclers out East have managed to improve on an already impressive record. Overall, the average increased from 84.5 percent to 88 percent. Anecdotally, the auditors are seeing great improvements in all areas. At this stage, it’s fair to say that Canada’s progressive auto recyclers have embraced CAREC as the true national standard for professional auto recyclers. ARC also commissioned the development of Contingency and Emergency Plan addendums to CAREC to help members develop site specific plans in case of spills, accidents or other emergency situations. These addendums demonstrate the living nature of CAREC, improving as we see opportunities to provide better tools for members to remain in compliance and stay ahead of emerging issues. The US-based ARA organization is also working to revise its Certified Auto Recycler program to utilize the scoring approach that CAREC initiated. In fact, ARA hired the Ontario Auditor to rework program requirements and audit protocols to include a percentage based scoring system. Previously, CAREC was deemed equivalent to the Certified Auto Recycler program, but now it is improving thanks to the success that CAREC has demonstrated. ARC makes the bilingual CAREC resources available to the overall auto recycling industry, not just members, in an effort to promote professional auto recycling. You can read more at carec.ca.
Il y a beaucoup de données à éplucher, mais on peut regarder quelques-uns des premiers rapports. La région atlantique est la seule région ayant, à ce jour, terminé tous les audits et ayant rapporté les données. Comme prévu, les recycleurs progressifs de l’Est ont réussi à améliorer leur score déjà impressionnant. Leur moyenne générale est passée de 84,5 % à 88 %. Les auditeurs ont vu une grande amélioration dans tous les secteurs. En ce moment, on peut affirmer que les recycleurs automobiles progressifs ont accepté le CERAC en tant que véritable standard national. L’ARC a aussi demandé le développement d’addenda au plan de contingence et d’urgence afin d’aider les membres à développer des plans spécifiques à leur emplacement en cas de déversements, d’accidents et d’autres urgences. Ces addenda démontrent la nature vivante du CERAC qui améliore leurs outils quand le besoin se fait sentir. L’ARA, basée aux É.-U., tente aussi de réviser son programme de certification pour recycleurs automobiles et d’utiliser l’approche du CERAC. En fait, l’ARA a engagé l’auditeur de l’Ontario pour retravailler les exigences de son programme et du protocole d’audits afin d’y ajouter un système à base de pourcentage. Auparavant, le CERAC était similaire au programme de certification pour recycleurs automobiles. L’ARC rend disponible les ressources bilingues du CERAC à l’industrie de recyclage automobile en général et non seulement à ses membres, et ce, pour promouvoir l’aspect professionnel de l’industrie.

Interest supérieur Insurer recommendations for recycled parts are about more than just cost containment.

BY/PAR MIKE DAVEY
t’s probably fair to say that insurance companies want to avoid unnecessary liability when it comes to car repairs. As Joe Carvalho, Manager, National Auto Appraisal, Claims for Economical Insurance wrote in the January 2013 issue of Collision Repair magazine, “Our goal is, and has always been, to have the vehicle returned to pre-loss condition. We would never place our clients at risk.” In general, most insurers would probably agree that their firms are relatively cautious. A reckless insurance company is almost a contradiction in terms. Their business model is predicated on understanding risk to the last decimal point. An insurance company that lacks in this area isn’t going to stay in business long. Given the risk-averse nature of insurers, wouldn’t they strive to avoid using any parts that could increase potential liability? “There are various benefits to be realized when utilizing quality OE recycled parts,” says Vic Pasnyk, National Claims Vendor Manager for Allstate Canada. “These benefits include potential for improved repair cycle time, cost containment, and the opportunity to repair more vehicles. Another significant benefit is that the use of OE recycled parts is the environmentally and morally responsible approach to repairing vehicles. “Notwithstanding these benefits, there can be no question that applying OE recycled parts must never compromise our obligation to compensate the customer based on a safe and quality repair. To this end everyone in the repair process must have a quality assurance protocol. This process starts from the beginning of the supply chain to the final assembly of the finished product. The recycler, for example, is accountable to ensure the part is not only of OE origin but that it is from the same model year or better. The repairer will also have a control process to ensure that these parts meet or exceed the needed standard and are installed in accordance with inVic Pasnyk, National Claims Vendor Manager for Allstate Canada. dustry accepted standards.

Les recommandations des assureurs en matière de pièces recyclées visent plus que les coûts.

l est sans doute juste de dire que les compagnies d’assurance veulent éviter des risques superflus en ce qui concerne la réparation de véhicules. Comme l’a écrit Joe Carvalho, gérant national des évaluations et des réclamations automobiles pour Economical Insurance, dans le numéro de janvier 2013 du magazine Collision Repair : « Notre objectif est, et a toujours été, que le véhicule retourne à sa condition avant les
dommages. Nous n’exposerions jamais nos clients à un risque. » La plupart des assureurs sont d’accord que leur compagnie est plutôt pru-
dente. Une compagnie d’assurance téméraire est presque une contradiction en soi. Leur modèle d’affaires est basé sur la compréhension du risque, et ce, jusqu’à la dernière décimale, sinon. elles ne feront pas affaire bien longtemps. Compte tenu du fait que les assureurs détestent le risque, n’est-il pas normal qu’ils veuillent éviter l’utilisation de pièces qui pourraient augmenter le risque potentiel? « Il y a divers avantages à utiliser des pièces originales recyclées de qualité », dit Vic Pasnyk, gérant national des réclamations pour Allstate Canada. « Ces avantages comprennent la possibilité d’améliorer le cycle de temps de réparation, la compression des coûts et la chance de réparer plus de véhicules. Un autre avantage important est que l’utilisation de pièces originales recyclées consiste en une approche environnementale et morale en réparation de véhicules. « Malgré ces avantages, il n’est pas question que l’utilisation de pièces originales recyclées compromette notre obligation d’indemniser les clients en leur offrant des réparations sécuritaires et de qualité. C’est pourquoi toutes les personnes faisant partie du processus de réparation doivent suivre un protocole d’assurance qualité. C e processus com mence au tout début de la chaîne d’approvisionnement et se termine à l’assemblage du produit fini. Le recycleur, par exemple, doit s’assurer que la pièce est non seulement originale, mais qu’elle vient d’un modèle de la même année ou mieux. Le réparateur aura aussi un processus de contrôle assurant que ces pièces satisfont ou dépassent les normes requises et sont installées selon les normes acceptées de l’industrie.

Green Recycled Parts are an affordable, high-quality option for parts sourcing. Progressive recyclers often remove parts in advance and store them in special racks to prevent any possible damage from exposure or handling. Les pièces recyclées sont des choix de pièce abordables et de haute qualité. Souvent, les recycleurs progressifs retirent les pièces d’avance et les entreposent sur des étagères spéciales pour prévenir tout dommage causé par la manutention ou l’exposition.

parts from being replaced with OE recycled parts. Some of these exceptions include all components of passenger restraint and airbag systems and on mechanical suspension/steering parts, those items subject to wear and tear such as a wheel bearing will need to be replaced with a new part. These and other standards ensure that at all times we are prescribing a safe and quality part for our customer.” John Bordignon is the Media Relations Spokesperson for State Farm. In his private life, he’s also a “car guy,” having a lifelong appreciation of vehicles and regular appearances on car-oriented TV and radio programs as both a host and guest. “The safety of our customers is always of the utmost concern, and this includes the process by which their vehicles are repaired. Our promise to them includes a commitment to their satisfaction regarding new non-original equipment manufacturer and recycled parts used in repairs,” he says. “When estimates and repairs are prepared and made by a quality facility or one of our Select Service shops, we are extremely confident our customers will be satisfied with the safety, fit, corrosion resistance qualities and performance of those recycled parts for as long as they own their vehicle.”
« À Allstate, nous avons des lignes directrices strictes qui nous empêchent de remplacer certaines pièces par des pièces originales recyclées. Ces exceptions comprennent toutes les pièces visant à garder le passager en place et les systèmes de sacs gonflables ainsi que les pièces pour suspension/direction mécanique et ces pièces qui sont sujettes à l’usure, comme les paliers de roues, devront être remplacées par de nouvelles pièces. Ces normes, et bien d’autres encore, font en sorte que nous offrons des pièces sécuritaires et de qualité à nos clients. » John Bordignon est responsable des relations avec les médias pour State Farm. Dans sa vie privée, il est aussi un « gars de char », ayant toujours aimé les véhicules et ayant régulièrement participé à des émissions de télévision ou de radio portant sur les voitures, soit en tant qu’animateur soit en tant qu’invité. « La sécurité de nos clients est toujours notre priorité, et ça comprend le processus de réparation de leu véhicule. Notre promesse comprend en engagement envers leur satisfaction concernant les fabricants de pièces non originales et l’utilisation de pièces recyclées lors de réparations », dit-il. Lorsque les estimations et les réparations sont effectuées par un atelier de qualité ou par l’un de nos ateliers Select Service, nous sommes complètement sûrs que nos clients seront satisfaits de la qualité de la sécurité, de l’assemblage, de la résistance à la corrosion ainsi que de la performance de ces pièces recyclées durant toute la vie de leur véhicule. »

Recycled parts takes the strain of vehicle repair off consumers’ pocketbooks.
Les pièces recyclées coûtent moins cher aux clients.
F
ixing vehicles can be costly, if not outright debilitating to consumers’ pocketbooks. But when a part needs repair or replacement, sometimes your customers need to face facts and understand that the repair simply needs to be done. There are options, however, in the form of purchasing OEM recycled car parts from auto recyclers who offer high-quality parts options to consumers at a fraction of the cost of new OEM parts. Let’s take the Ford Focus’ 2010 model as an example, and let’s say you need to have your intake manifold replaced. Upon independently placing blind calls to Ford dealerships Canadian Auto Recyclers magazine learned that an OEM intake manifold would cost on average between $275 and $415, depending on whether the Focus in question has an evaporated emission system or a non-evaporated emission system. Comparatively, upon searching for the Ford Focus 2010 model’s intake manifold on Car-Part.com, we found Canadian recyclers offered the same OEM part at a significantly lesser cost. According to the site, the average cost of the 2010 Focus’ intake manifold is about $120. Further illustrating the lesser costs associated with using recycled parts, we also looked at the A/C condenser for the same Focus model. CAR was quoted at a cost of $579.68 for a new A/C condenser, while CarPart.com indicates again that using Green Recycled Parts offers substantial savings. Using the website’s database of parts offered by Canadian recyclers, the average listed price for a recycled OEM A/C condenser is $125, a difference of approximately $455. What this tells us is very simply that there are lower cost alternatives to replacing deteriorating parts. It is also usually possible to see the quality of Green Recycled Parts from progressive recyclers online, as each has been assigned a letter grade of either A, B or C. Green Recycled Parts provide substantial savings for vehicle owners, lightening the load on their wallets so they can spend their hard-earned money on other things. Since they just saved the money in your shop, they might be encouraged to spend some as well. What better time to sell them a regularly scheduled service plan?

l peut être coûteux, voir débilitant financièrement, de réparer des véhicules. Mais lorsqu’une pièce doit être réparée ou remplacée, parfois le client doit s’y résigner et comprendre que la réparation est tout simplement nécessaire. Par contre, il y a des options sous forme de pièces originales recyclées qui peuvent être achetées de recycleurs automobiles. En effet, ceux-ci offrent des pièces de grande qualité à une frac-
tion du prix des nouvelles pièces originales. Prenons comme exemple la Ford Focus 2010 et disons que vous devez
faire remplacer votre tuyauterie d’admission. Après avoir fait des appels à l’aveuglette à divers concessionnaires Ford, le magazine Canadian Auto Recyclers a appris qu’une tuyauterie d’admission originale coûterait en moyenne de 275 $ à 415 $, selon que la Focus a un système de contrôle de l’évaporation de carburant ou non. Au contraire, si l’on recherche la tuyauterie d’admission de la Ford Focus 2010 sur Car-Part.com, on trouve que les recycleurs canadiens offrent la même pièce originale à un prix beaucoup plus bas. Selon le site, le coût moyen est d’environ 120 $. Pour illustrer davantage le coût moindre associé aux pièces recyclées, nous avons aussi cherché un condensateur de climatisation pour la même Ford Focus. Nous avons reçu une estimation de 579,68 $ pour un nouveau condensateur, tandis que Car-Part.com indique encore qu’une pièce recyclée offrirait de grandes économies. À l’aide de la base de données en ligne des pièces offertes par les recycleurs canadiens, nous avons trouvé un prix moyen de 125 $ pour un condensateur original recyclé, une différence d’environ 455 $. Tout cela nous dit simplement qu’il y a des choix moins dispendieux quand vient le temps de remplacer des pièces. Généralement, c’est aussi possible de voir en ligne la qualité des pièces recyclées des recycleurs, car chaque pièce a reçu une note, soit A, B ou C. Les pièces vertes recyclées offrent des économies importantes aux propriétaires de véhicules, ce qui est bien pour leur porte-feuille. Ils peuvent ainsi dépenser leur argent durement gagné sur autre chose. Puisqu’ils ont économisé de l’argent à votre atelier, ils peuvent vouloir en dépenser un peu aussi. C’est le meilleur moment pour leur vendre un plan de service.

t’s a sobering thought to think of how environmentally unfriendly something we rely on every day is. Right from its manufacturing point, inclusive of its daily and continued use, to its end-of-life processing, automobiles can bear a serious amount of weight down on the resiliency of our natural environment. What’s even more sobering and worth the moment of pause this forthcoming thought should illicit, is that roughly one-third of the total environmental damage caused by vehicles occurs before it even hits the road. Ponder all the individual materials needed to produce a single vehicle; the ores, plastics and rubbers need to come from somewhere. The individual parts need to be manufactured from the raw materials and in some cases subsequently shipped to other locations. Processing is costly, intensive and the far-reaching negative impacts on the earth can’t be understated, let alone overlooked. Once we get into end-of-life processing, harmful fluids and coolants can further damage the earth if they’re not handled properly and carefully by professionals. Auto recyclers have taken it upon themselves to initiate a change in thought, to be environmentally responsible. Understanding the long term detriments vehicle production poses to the earth, they work to ensure high percentages of vehicles can be salvaged and reused, with over 80 percent of a vehicle’s entire weight now being recycled. It’s estimated that modern auto recycling methods have decreased oil production by 80 million barrels. That’s a massive savings in energy alone. The recycling process lessens environmental pressures by reducing air and water pollution, while successful reclamations of toxic oils and fluids from vehicles provides an average of 40 litres worth of removed fluids for each vehicle that are used, re-used or disposed of responsibly. Once the fluids are safely extracted and the mechanical parts are removed, the unusable components of the vehicle are then scrapped and shredded, while the individual metals are separated and reused to make new vehicles and other common products. Like the renowned symbol, the recycling process is cyclical. The wheel continues to spin, with environmentally conscientious auto recyclers working on the frontlines to protect the environment for a better tomorrow.
C
’est dégrisant de penser qu’une chose à laquelle on se fie tous les jours peut être si néfaste pour l’environnement. De sa fabrication à son traitement en fin de vie, en passant par son usage quotidien, l’automobile peut avoir un sérieux impact sur notre environnement. Ce qui est encore plus dégrisant est qu’environ un tiers des dommages environnementaux causés par les
véhicules ont lieu avant même qu’ils ne soient sur la route. Pensez à tous les matériaux individuels requis pour produire un seul véhi-
cule : minerais, plastiques et caoutchoucs doivent venir de quelque part. Les pièces doivent être fabriquées à partir de ces matériaux bruts et, dans certains cas, doivent être expédiées vers d’autres endroits. Le traitement est coûteux et l’impact négatif ne peut être minimisé ou ignoré. Lors du traitement de véhicules en fin de vie, les liquides nocifs peuvent aussi endommager la plante s’ils ne sont pas manipulés correctement par des professionnels. Les recycleurs automobile ont décidé de changer les mentalités et d’être responsables en matière d’environnement. Puisqu’ils sont conscients des problèmes à long terme que la production de véhicules peut causer à la planète, ils tentent de s’assurer qu’un grand nombre de véhicules peut être récupéré et réutilisé. Plus de 80 pour cent de poids total d’un véhicule sont maintenant recyclés. L’on estime que les méthodes modernes de recyclage automobile ont diminué la production d’huile de 80 millions de barils. C’est une économie d’énergie massive. Le processus de recyclage diminue les problèmes environnementaux en réduisant la pollution de l’air et de l’eau et la récupération d’huiles et de liquides toxiques génère une moyenne de 40 litres de liquide par véhicule. Ces liquides sont ensuite utilisés, réutilisés ou éliminés de manière responsable. Après que les liquides eurent été retirés avec sécurité et que les pièces mécaniques eurent été enlevées, les pièces non réutilisables du véhicule sont détruites, les métaux individuels sont séparés et réutilisés pour faire de nouveaux véhicules ou d’autres produits communs. Tout comme le logo célèbre, le processus de recyclage est cyclique. La roue continue de tourner et les recycleurs automobile environnementaux sont à l’avantgarde de la protection de l’environnement afin de nous offrir un meilleur avenir.

ecycled OE parts are often significantly less expensive than new OE parts, and that can help save money for both your shop and your customers. However, they can help on a deeper level too. The relationship a motorist has with their automotive service professional is like no other. What goes on beneath the vehicle’s skin is a closed book to most people. True, this arises in almost any situation where someone needs service or repair, but the relationship between, say, a homeowner and a plumber, is rather different. For one thing, it’s doubtful that any homeowner has taken the time to set up a regular schedule of maintenance with their plumber. The key to getting and keeping clients in any business is trust. First, last and always. Making sure to offer your customers Green Recycled Parts can help to build that relationship and further cement it with a new one.

PROFIT BOOSTER SOURCE DE PROFIT “It shows you’re looking out for them,” says Jim Barry, owner of Jim Barry’s Truck and Auto Repair in Arnprior, Ont. “Not everyone is going to go for them, but I always suggest a recycled part if I think it suits the job. Our customers appreciate that we’re looking out for them and trying to save them money.” Barry says that you do have to do business with a reputable supplier, but that progressive recyclers will not only “grade” the part and tell you how much mileage the vehicle had when it came in, but also offer warrantees. “The standard warrantee provides peace-ofmind for the shop and our client,” says Barry. “Some recyclers even offer a full parts-and-labour warrantee for a little extra. It’s great for showing clients that they don’t have to worry about these parts.” The key is to make sure you do business with yards you can trust. A good start is the membership list for the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC), Canada’s national association of progressive automotive recyclers. Association membership means the recycler you’re dealing with is truly an automotive recycler, not a wrecker or junkyard. It also means that you’re really getting Green Recycled Parts, as environmentally friendly processes are also a condition of association membership. For a current list of ARC members, see the listings beginning on page 77.
« Ça démontre que vous avez leur intérêt à cœur », dit Jim Barry, propriétaire de Jim Barry’s Truck and Auto Repair à Arnprior, en Ontario. « Ce ne sont pas toutes les personnes qui en veulent, mais je propose toujours des pièces recyclées à mes clients si je crois que ça ferait l’affaire. Nos clients aiment qu’on pense à ces choses-là et qu’on veuille leur faire économiser de l’argent. » Barry dit que vous devez faire affaire avec un fournisseur qui a une bonne réputation. Non seulement les recycleurs progressifs donnent-ils une cote à la pièce et indiquent-ils le kilométrage du véhicule, mais ils offrent aussi des garanties. « Les garanties standards offrent une tranquillité d’esprit au propriétaire d’atelier et au client, dit Barry. Certains recycleurs offrent même des garanties pièce et main-d’œuvre. Ça démontre aux clients qu’ils n’ont pas besoin de s’inquiéter des pièces. » La clef est de vous assurer que vous faites affaire avec un recycleur en qui vous faites confiance. Vous pouvez commencer par la liste de membres de l’Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC), l’association nationale des recycleurs automobile progressifs. S’ils sont membres de l’association, c’est qu’ils sont véritablement des recycleurs automobile et non des casseurs de voiture ou de dépôts de ferraille. Ça signifie aussi que vous allez vraiment avoir des pièces recyclées vertes, car les processus environnementaux font partie des conditions d’admission à l’association.

Alan Gelman of GlennAlan Motors knows green recycled parts save time and money.
W
elcome to a new feature in Canadian Auto Recyclers magazine, the Green Auto Award. Each issue, we’ll profile a member of the automotive service or repair profession who does their part to help promote Green Recycled Parts to their clients and the public. Alan Gelman is the co-owner of GlennAlan Motors in Toronto, Ont. He’s also well-known to Toronto’s automotive community as the host of “Car Talk” on radio station CFRB for nine years, and more recently as the co-host with Dave Redinger of “Dave’s Corner Garage” on Zoomer Radio. There’s a particular story he likes to relate when you ask him about recycled auto parts. “A woman came into the shop with a car that needed repair,” says Gelman. “She was paying for the repairs herself, and it turned out the price of the new parts was more than the value of the car!” A desire to help his customer soon led Alan to look into the availability of recycled parts. He found that the price difference was enough to make the repairs affordable for his client, and the repair proceeded. “It was an older vehicle, and you have to ask yourself ‘Do we really want to put new parts on this?’ Using high-quality recycled parts allowed us to save that woman’s car, plus we saved money for both her and the shop.” Gelman also notes that there’s the environment to consider as well. “The environment is something we all have to take seriously,” he says. “There was a time when all auto recyclers were just called ‘junkyards,’ but times change. Now progressive operators are a positive example of what can be done in terms of recycling.” The quality of parts is always a concern for automotive service and repair professionals. That’s one of the reasons today’s progressive recyclers specifically seek out late model vehicles for parts. Very often, the source of these parts is a vehicle that has been in an accident and declared a total loss by the insurance company. However, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the majority of the vehicle’s components. “From a garage owner’s perspective, how many times have you ordered a part and it comes in wrong? But now, most people have digital cameras. I can send the recyclers the picture, but most of the time I can verify it right on their website,” says Gelman. “That’s environmental too. It saves a trip, plus it saves us time and money.” 72

tors à Toronto, en Ontario. Il est bien connu au sein de la communauté automobile de Toronto en tant qu’animateur de l’émission de radio « Car Talk » sur les ondes de CFRB et en tant que coanimateur avec Dave Redinger de « Dave’s Corner Garage » sur Zoomer Radio. Lorsqu’on lui demande de parler de pièces recyclées, il aime raconter une histoire en particulier. « Une femme est entrée dans mon atelier avec une voiture qui avait besoin de réparations, raconte Gelman. Elle payait de sa poche et on s’est rendu compte que le coût de nouvelles pièces était plus que la valeur du véhicule! » Voulant aider sa cliente, Alan décida de rechercher la disponibilité de pièces recyclées. Il découvrit que la différence de prix était assez importante pour rendre les réparations abordables pour sa cliente. Et ces réparations ont eu lieu. « C’était un vieux véhicule et la question se posait : “Veut-on vraiment mettre de nouvelles pièces là-dedans?” L’utilisation de pièces recyclées de haute qualité nous a permis de réparer la voiture de cette dame tout en faisant économiser de l’argent à la cliente et à l’atelier. » Gelman note aussi qu’il faut tenir compte de l’environnement. « L’environnement est quelque chose qu’on doit tous prendre au sérieux, ditil. Jadis, les recycleurs automobile étaient appelés “cours à scrap”, mais les temps ont changé. Maintenant, les recycleurs progressifs donnent un exemple positif de ce que le recyclage peut accomplir. » La qualité des pièces est toujours une préoccupation pour les professionnels de la réparation automobile. C’est une des raisons pour laquelle les recycleurs progressifs d’aujourd’hui recherchent spécifiquement les vieux véhicules pour récupérer les pièces. Souvent, la source de ces pièces est des véhicules accidentés et déclarés comme perte totale par l’assureur. Par contre, il n’y a absolument aucun problème avec la majorité des composantes du véhicule. « Du point de vue d’un propriétaire de garage, c’est arrivé souvent qu’on commande une pièce et qu’on reçoive la mauvaise pièce. Mais maintenant, la plupart des gens ont un appareil photo numérique. Je peux envoyer la photo au recycleur, mais la plupart du temps, je vérifie le tout directement sur leur site Web, dit Gelman.

oday’s progressive auto recyclers are way ahead of the game when it comes to making sure they know which parts they have on hand at any given time. Computerized inventories that are regularly updated have essentially been the industry standard for years. There is a significant challenge to this, as recyclers and independent repairers do not have access to the same level of information that dealers do. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) will allow dealers to access build information directly, but recyclers must use other tools and techniques to correctly identify parts. “For example, I was inputting a VIN yesterday, and it said the car had an automatic and a standard transmission,” says David Gold, co-owner of Standard Auto Wreckers. “Obviously, it can’t be both. It’s one or the other, but it won’t tell me which one. If a dealer had plugged in the same VIN, it would

e nos jours, les recycleurs progressifs sont en avance quand vient le temps de savoir quelles pièces ils ont sous la main à n’importe quel moment. Les inventaires informatisés qui sont régulièrement mis à jour sont un outil standard de l’industrie depuis des années. Mais il y a un défi important. En effet, les recycleurs et les réparateurs indépendants n’ont
pas accès aux mêmes renseignements que les concessionnaires. Les numéros d’identification du véhicule (VIN) permettent aux concessionnaires d’accéder directement aux renseignements sur la pièce, mais les recycleurs doivent utiliser d’autres outils et techniques pour bien identifier les pièces. « Par exemple, hier, je saisissais un VIN et il indiquait que la voiture avait une transmission automatique et manuelle », dit David Gold, copropriétaire de Standard Auto Wreckers. « Évidemment, ça ne peut pas être les deux.

Qualité garantie
Guaranteed Quality Extended parts warranties help bring peace-of-mind.
La garantie prolongée pour pièces aide à garder la tranquillité d’esprit.
BY/PAR ANDREW ARDIZZI
V
ehicles break down, parts wear out; it’s natural. So when the time comes to replace a car’s parts, consumers want to feel secure with their purchase. When it comes to recycled parts, having the option to purchase extended warranties puts to rest misconceptions about recycled parts’ quality, giving consumers peace of mind and purchasing comfort. “I think it raises the calibre of how we’re perceived as recyclers. By offering an extended warranty and honouring it you’re bringing your business up to a more professional level,” says Mary Poirer, owner of Valley Automotive. Poirer says she feels recyclers need to offer extended warranties to customers to demonstrate they stand behind their products, especially now that it’s becoming something consumers expect. “Customers are asking about our warranties. They’re worried about it because it’s a used part,” she says. “Extended warranties add a whole new layer of quality assurance the customer perceives as necessary with used parts.” Jim Counts, owner of Counts Consulting, says that assurance puts consumers at ease, as they know they can get a recycled part replaced as long it is still under the warranty. He says extended warranties contribute to improved business health for recyclers, while cultivating word-of-mouth business. Counts offers three separate warranties: 90 days, six months and one year. All three cover parts and labour for the duration, giving consumers that much more protection for their purchases. “Consumers want that, and it allows indie shops to offer the same assurance that dealerships provide, at a lower rate,” he says. “There’s no real downside.” Counts says an obstacle to standardizing extended warranties throughout the business is the perception that it’ll cost recyclers more to offer them, but he feels there’s no harm in offering good quality parts inside a warranty program. Poirer agrees, feeling every auto recycler should offer extended warranties and that like Counts she too offers one-year parts and labour warranties on engines and transmissions. But she’s taken it a step further. “We offer lifetime parts warranties on our starters and alternators at a fixed price of $99,” she says. “Customers are amazed at how good our warranty is.”
L
es véhicules tombent en panne, les pièces s’usent; c’est normal. Alors, quand vient le temps de remplacer les pièces d’un véhicule, les consommateurs veulent avoir confiance en leur achat, et la possibilité d’acheter des garanties prolongées bouscule les fausses idées concernant la qualité des pièces recyclées. « Je crois que ça augmente notre calibre en tant que recycleurs. En
offrant une garantie prolongée et en la respectant, vous rendrez votre entreprise encore plus professionnelle », dit Mary Poirer, propriétaire de Valley Automotive. Poirer pense que les recycleurs doivent offrir des garanties prolongées à leurs clients pour démontrer qu’ils croient en leurs produits. « Les clients veulent des garanties. Ils s’inquiètent parce que ce sont des pièces usagées, dit-elle. Les garanties prolongées

que les clients considèrent comme étant nécessaire à l’achat de pièces usagées. » Jim Counts, propriétaire de Counts Consulting, dit que l’assurance rassure les clients, car ils savent qu’ils peuvent faire remplacer la pièce usagée tant qu’elle est sous garantie. Il dit que les garanties prolongées aident à améliorer la santé de l’industrie du recyclage, tout en

encourageant le bouche-à-oreille. Counts offre trois différentes garanties : 90 jours, six mois et un an. Toutes trois couvrent les pièces et la main-d’œuvre pour la durée de la garantie, ce qui protège les clients encore plus. « Les clients le veulent et ça permet aux ateliers indépendants d’offrir la même assurance que les concessionnaires, à un prix plus bas, dit-il. Il n’y a pas d’aspect négatif. »
Counts dit qu’un des obstacles à la standardisation des garanties prolongées au sein de tous les ateliers est la perception que ça coûtera plus cher aux recycleurs de l’offrir, mais il croit qu’il n’y a pas de mal à offrir un programme de garantie sur des pièces de qualité. Poirer est d’accord et croit que tout recycleur devrait offrir des garanties prolongées. Tout comme Counts, elle offre aussi des garanties d’un an, pièces et maind’œuvre, sur les moteurs et les transmissions. Mais elle est allée un peu plus loin. « Nous offrons des garanties à vie sur certaines pièces, les démarreurs et les alternateurs, au prix fixe de 99 $, dit-elle. Les clients sont impressionnés par notre garantie. »

Recyclers will continue striving onwards and upwards.

Les recycleurs vont continuer à aller toujours plus loin, toujours plus haut.
t’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year. And what a year it has been! There were so many highlights I hardly know where to start, but I don’t think I’ll offend anyone by congratulating Ed MacDonald of Maritime Auto Parts on taking the role of President with the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA). I attended the meeting in Phoenix where Chris Wright handed over the gavel, and I can say that there’s every reason for Canada’s recyclers to be proud. MacDonald is only one of four Canadians to occupy the President’s chair in over 70 years of ARA history, and I’m confident that his tenure as president will help to move the industry forward. While I was in Phoenix, I also attended the Ladies of Automotive Recyclers Association (LARA) Luncheon and got to hear from some incredible and impressive women about how they’re taking an increasingly larger role in what are, for many of them, a family business. They’ve got know-how, they’re tough and they’ve got a geniune love for their industry. It’s a winning combination. I also noticed at this year’s ARA meeting that the younger generation is stepping up and making their presence felt. This mirrors the situation here at home, where Atlantic Canada’s association just elected two new board members, both under 30 years old. The times are indeed changing. While in Phoenix, I also had an opportunity to tour the Phoenix Cores plant and see how they remanufacture and refurbish automotive cores. It was a great insight into this facet of the industry. It’s very impressive to see a business take something that appears to be worn out and make it useful again. Looking back over 2013, what stands out most to me are the great people I got to meet and work with. Companies like Car-Part and Hollander, suppliers like Salvage Supply Technology and others, assocations like ARA and ARC and of course the recyclers themselves. All of them are working together to ensure a steady stream of high-quality Green Recycled Parts are available for repair and service. To all of you, and all of your customers, we salute you. You’re the ones who make it all possible.
J
e n’arrive pas à croire que ça fait déjà un an. Et tout un an! Il y a eu tant de hauts que je ne sais pas par où commencer, mais je ne pense pas que j’offenserai qui que ce soit en félicitant Ed MacDonald, de Maritime Auto Parts, qui est devenu président de l’Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA). J’étais présente à la réunion de Phoenix où Chris Wright lui a remis le maillet, et
je peux dire que les recycleurs canadiens ont raison d’être fiers. En plus de 70 ans d’histoire, MacDonald est seulement le quatrième Ca-
nadien à être président de l’ARA, et je suis certaine que son mandat, en tant que président, aidera à faire progresser l’industrie. Pendant que j’étais à Phoenix, j’ai aussi participé au repas de la Ladies of Automotive Recyclers Association (LARA) et j’ai eu la chance d’entendre des femmes incroyables et impressionnantes parler de la manière dont elles assument des rôles de plus en plus importants dans ce qui est, pour nombre d’entre elles, une entreprise familiale. Elles ont les connaissances, elles sont déterminées et elles ont une véritable passion pour l’industrie. C’est une combinaison gagnante. J’ai aussi remarqué, à la réunion de l’ARA, cette année, que la plus jeune génération s’implique et se fait remarquer. La situation est la même ici au Canada, où l’association de l’Atlantique vient d’élire deux nouveaux membres à son Conseil d’administration, lesquels ont tous deux moins de 30 ans. Les temps changent vraiment. À Phoenix, j’ai aussi eu la chance de visiter les usines de pièces usées (« cores ») de Phoenix et de voir comment ils reconstruisaient et remettaient en état les pièces usées d’automobiles. J’ai beaucoup appris concernant cette facette de l’industrie. Il est très impressionnant de voir une entreprise prendre quelque chose que l’on considérait comme étant usée et de la rendre utile. Quand je regarde l’année 2013, ce qui me marque le plus est les personnes fantastiques que j’ai eu la chance de rencontrer et avec qui j’ai pu travailler. Des entreprises comme Car-Part et Hollander, des fournisseurs comme Salvage Supply Technology et d’autres, des associations comme l’ARA et l’ARC et, bien sûr, les recycleurs. Ils travaillent tous ensemble pour assurer qu’un flot continu de pièces recyclées vertes de haute qualité est disponible aux fins de réparation. Nous vous remercions tous, et vos clients aussi. Tout est possible grâce à vous.
