In this section of the Shenandoah Valley, after the guys with the older junk
yards die, their families seem to crush everything and close them. Two
within the past year in this county. It is unfortunate as these were people
who seemed to hold on to the older items.
The more modern operators seem to more quickly crush their cars, perhaps for
cash flow reasons.
It may be sensible to horde a few parts.
