Thank You To All Our Loyal Customers

The message was met with sadness and disappointment from many loyal customers, with one saying "Get outta here...wild" to another recalling how Specht's Auto Recycling kept his family going through hard times.

You guys kept my family going through some extremely hard times, Thank You for Always being there for us. I miss going there with my Dad, the only time we seemed to get along is when we were in the driveway till the wee hours working on his and Moms cars or talking about it. Thank You for those memories too! I'm really gonna miss You guys, this one hurts but although I'm sad right now I'm extremely grateful to have those experiences and will always cherish those memories. Thank You again, Good Luck on your new journey!
