Built for automotive recyclers who want better buys & better margins. Smarter data. Better decisions.

Ever wonder what happens to your car's fluids when you get rid of your car? Auto recyclers don't limit their business to used auto parts and recycled metals.

They recover and properly manage millions of gallons of oil, wiper fluid and other hazardous fluids, preventing contamination of groundwater. It's not just about parts; it's about protecting our water supply!

On average, about 26 cars are being recycled in the U.S. every minute. That's more than 12 million cars per year.

Crush Software and the Crush Partner Network powers over 250 self-serve auto-recycling yards.

"Carvana uses AI bots to bid at Manheim Auto Auctions. Algorithms are influencing auctions. If AI is buying, independent recyclers can't rely on instinct alone. The question isn't whether to use data - it's whether you'll be fast enough to survive without it."

Crush co-founder, Tom Klauer, developed a classification methodology for purchasing end-of-life vehicles. Every vehicle fits into 1 of 5 lanes, and if you don't classify the prospective purchase first, you're likely to price wrong.

From scrap-only to high-value rebuildables, data forces discipline. Are you still averaging your prices? If you are, you're leaving money on the table.

CrushBuy helps you leverage data like no other system on the market. Learn more at crushsoftware.com

U.S. scrap metal recyclers process at least 70 million tons of iron and steel per year (and they would take more if they could get it!)

At least 15 million tons comes from recycled automobiles.

The automotive-to-steel recycling industry represents a crucial component of the circular economy, providing both environmental benefits and economic value while supporting the automotive industry's sustainability goals.

For the past 20 years, online marketing in the auto recycling business has meant following this tried and tested path: build a serviceable website; buy Google AdWords; buy some Facebook ads; and try to get traffic to your website.

The model is breaking down.

Our use of search engines and the relationship with search is changing. Consumers and business owners are typing short keywords into Google with decreasing frequency. Instead, they are asking full questions to AI answer engines:

“Who will buy my wrecked truck near me?”
“Where can I sell my junk car today for cash?”
“Best place to sell a 2012 Ford F-150 with a bad transmission?”

Instead of getting ten blue links and clicking around websites, they are getting a single synthesized answer. In many cases, they never visit a website at all. To align your business with this change, it takes a different approach to crafting content and to online marketing.

From February 19-21 we attended and sponsored the WARA conference (Western Auto Recyclers Alliance) in Reno, Nevada. For those of you who braved the snow, the event was well-attended and worthwhile. We made a couple of big announcements:

1) CrushBuy is here! We launched enterprise level CrushBuy. This powerful tool gives our auto recycling yard users more data behind every purchase decision.

2) We launched Crush Partner Network. With 250+ yards now in network, we have real buying power, and that buying power is going to translate into more revenue opportunities for participating partners.

As part of the rollout of Crush Partner Network, we’re proud to announce our national consignment partnership with IAA (Insurance Auto Auctions) for all Crush Partner Network members. Here are the headline benefits:

-Special Crush Partner Network pricing
-Includes a free tow up to 100 miles
