The 80,000-square-foot facility, situated in the south suburbs of Chicago, allows AA Midwest to increase the number of vehicles processed from 40 to over 500 per month.
“This new facility will help AA Midwest to meet the overwhelming demand we have received from our export customers,” says William “Billy” Stolberg, president and COO, AAEQ. Stolberg, who oversees the company’s Chicago area operations, says the export market utilizes engines and transmissions, steering gears and sheet metal, including doors, hoods and clips.
Vehicles that are brought into the company’s Blue Island facility are disassembled in accordance with local, state and federal regulations that apply to the proper recycling or disposal of all automotive related fluids and components, according to the company. This includes gasoline, oil, freon, antifreeze, brake fluid, batteries and transmission fluid.
