At Reid’s Automotive Recycling, we are serious about being environmentally conscious in everything we do. We’re committed to lowering the impact of cars on the environment by implementing the highest standards in dismantling, processing, and preparing resale parts. You could say we’ve taken OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts to a higher level and made them Green. But Green isn’t only in what we sell…it’s in everything we do.
