had the most automotive shredders no longer in operation and overall, the Northeast saw the most closures with 13 shredders. One factor contributing to
the large number of shuttered businesses could be
the number new shredders installed in recent years,
adding to overcapacity in the industry and making it
more difficult for smaller and mid-size shredders to
survive.
Consolidation within the industry as more steel operations purchase existing shredding operations, and intense competition for raw materials are also listed in

Message from Michael Guarglia
President of CAR
From ARA Work Place Safety
Newsletter - Volume 6, Winter 2014
Use of Headphones Could Pose Safety Hazards
(safety takeaway)
How should employers handle the use of headphones in the
workplace? According to OSHA, use of headphones and listening
to "noise" at a level less that OSHA established legal limits is
at managerial discretion unless its use causes a serious safety
hazard…which would raise issues with employer compliance
regarding OSHA's general duty clause to provide a safe working
environment.
Although OSHA sets legal limits on noise exposure in the
workplace, it does not have a formal standard for use of
headphone type devices. In a 1987 guidance memorandum,
however, OSHA discourages the use of headphones in the
workplace mainly "because excessive sound output can both
drown out environmental sounds works need to hear and
threaten hearing". this memorandum still serves today as
guidance to employers. There is not OSHA mandate on the use
of headphones in the workplace.
Don't forget that New OSHA 300 Log Reporting
Requirements (Went) into effect on January 1, 2015!
Beginning January 1, 2015, all employers are required to report
all work-related fatalities within 8 hour and all in-patient
hospitalizations, amputations and losses of an eye within 24
hours of finding out about the incident. If our facility is regulated
under an OSHA State Plan however, the new requirements may
not go into effect until Jan. 2016.
Also, in its Frequently Asked Questions document on the record
keeping rule, OSHA clearly states that even if you do not have to
keep OSHA 300 form logs because you fall under the fewer than
11 employees exemption provided for under this standard, you
still need to report these specific events.
REMEMBER, it is only the specific OSHA 300 log reporting
provision from which employers with fewer than 11 employees
can claim exemption. Facilities with any number of employees
must follow other OSHA safety standards as required through
Federal OSHA or an OSHA approved state program
OSHA says that employers have three options for reporting
these severe incidents. You can call your nearest area OSHA
office during normal business hours, call the 24-hour hotline at
1-800-321-OSHA, or report online. for training information on
OSHA's 300 log, go to www.arauniversity.org
Industry
Annual Report Issued on Used Car Market
Manheim Consulting released its annual report on the state of the used
car market. The report covers 2014 and makes predictions for 2015.
Highlights of the report include findings that:

The used car segment of the industry remained stable while the new vehicle
side outpaced the U.S. economy.

Wholesale used vehicle values increased by 1.8% over the previous year.

The salvage marketplace mirrored the whole-car market in 2014, where
supplies increased and demand remained strong. Prices declined slightly due
to a variety of global factors.

Steady employment gains supported both the new and used car markets and
that trend is expected to continue in 2015.

Auction volumes and wholesale prices rose in 2014 and both auction and nonauction wholesale volumes are estimated to continue to grow in 2015 through
2016.

It’s great to be an Auto Recycler in the Carolina’s right now! Not to mention, ACC basketball is in full swing
and the winter as been pretty mild so far. But most importantly, we are ready to have the Carolina Auto
Recyclers trade show on February 27th-28th at the North Raleigh/Midtown Hilton.
The scheduled events start on Friday with 8:00 am registration, then dealer training certification starting at
9:00 am sharp. The class will include guest speakers from N.C. D.M.V. and DEHNER. This is a great opportunity
to ask questions on state requirement from both organizations. At 4:00pm, the C.A.R. trade show opens up
for owners and managers. The C.A.R. board has worked hard to make this a great weekend for all. Read more
about the events in this news letter.
Switching gears, as past president of the C.A.R. board I have recognized that associations unite professionals. The benefits may not be
initially identified as tangible, but more importantly, associations offer industry education to inform members of change and alert businesses
of critical government regulations. Whether the association is based locally or nationally, I feel it is very important for auto recyclers to
participate actively in a trade organization for the positive impact your contributions make within our industry.
I have come to realize associations need members and the industry needs associations. If you are reading this letter and you are not a
current member of C.A.R. or A.R.A., I encourage you to join. Join an association, pay the dues, volunteer, and get involved on a board or
a committee to share your ideas with fellow recyclers. The time is minimum compared to the return you put back into your business. The
participation, I feel, is priceless.
In conclusion, I want to thank the C.A.R. board, Secretary Darlene Parker, and Director Loretta Byrd for all the help this past year. I appreciate
the opportunity to serve as your President of the Carolina Auto Recyclers Association. I look forward to working with the organization in years
to come.

What happens to the parts that come
back from our customers as cores?
If they wind up in the crush pile,
you are missing out on extra money.
Most recyclers are how charging core
charges and customers have accepted
this. If you aren't charging cores yet,
your competitors have paved the
way for you. Charging for cores keeps
parts out of landfills. It also adds to
your bottom line. A percentage of
the cores you charge for will never
come back, so that's money you can
keep and reinvest. A percentage of
cores that come back will add to your
scrap weight. But a percentage from
them are worth a lot of money to
Rebuilders Automotive Supply. When
you sell an engine brain box for $150
with a $50 core, you are now making
$200 on that part. How do you know
when to charge $5 and when to
Charge $50? That's another solution
that depends on the recycler. Those
when belong to URG have the option
There are many options for
implementing a core program, and
each yard is different if you are
interested in planning a core strategy
for your company, do not hesitate
to contact me for more information
or for example core policies and
procedures. I am happy to help any
recycler what wants to maximize their
core!

If you are puling cores at the point
of crush, you'll start to notice that
RAS pays for a lot of parts you
cannot seem to sell. And if you look
at your inventory on our website,
you can see that you have parts
on your shelves over 2,500 days
Most recyclers who start selling cores
begin to core at the point of dismantle
or depollution. If you have 12 of those
axle shafts in stock, why stock one
more when you can cash out now?
What if the core price on those parts
has dropped after the 6 months or
year goes by and you're going to
crush that car? Isn't it easier to pull
cores when the vehicle is on the hoist,
instead of waiting and having a guy do
it in the field?
Core programs come in many
shapes and sizes. The easiest place
to start is often at the end of each
vehicle's life: at the point of crush.
When you enter the VIN number
of the car you are going to crush
into the RAS website, it will show
you what we're paying for every
part, and you can decide at that
time what is worth it to pull and
sell. A $95 steering gear rack is
always worth it, but what about
a $15 rack? what if it's unbolted
in the vehicle, then is it worth it?
A $7 door window motor doesn't
sound that profitable to pull, but
what if the mirror was sold, so the
door trim panel is already off and it
takes just a few seconds to zip that
motor off? How much should you
pay the people removing the cores
- by the hour or by the part, or a
percentage of the core money they
earn for you? The answers to these
questions vary by the recycler, but
deciding how you are going to do it
ahead of time makes implementing
an end-of-life core program easy.

of their core program, which shows
many core buyers prices on parts right
at the part lookup screen of PinPro
or Powerlink so your salesperson
can see how much to charge when
they are selling the part. Powerlink
users will soon have "CoreConnect"
right in the inventory section of their
computer system, so they can look up
parts by stock number, VIN number,
or Hollander interchange number.
Others just use our website, and look
parts up by year, make, and model, or
by Hollander interchange number.

old - that's 7 years! You have parts
that you have stocked 10 or more of
the same part! Many recyclers don't
realize they have cash hanging on
their shelves gathering dust. I would
argue that many of these parts,
you will never sell. But let's say you
will sell them eventually. If you wait
another year, and sell that alternator
for $100, you've made $100. If you
sell that same part to RAS for $35, you
take that money (and your other core
money) and use it to buy another
vehicle, if your cost of goods id 50%
then you will double your money. So
how you have $70. Now you take that
money and you invest it into another
vehicle, and you again double it and
you have $140. If you can turn your
investments four times a year, that
$35 in cash turns into $560 in one
year. Selling old parts sitting around
on your shelves can provide cash flow
year round, or just during your slow
months. Again, each yard will want to
customize when and ow they do this,
but each yard will benefit.
What's a core program? How can
it benefit your business? I travel
to recycling facilities of all sorts
and sizes and teach them how to
implement the core strategy that's
best for them. When you treat your
cores as valuable commodities and
maximize your core profits, you can
add $25, $50, $100, even $200 per
vehicle. Are vehicles getting any
cheaper to buy? Everywhere I go,
people are paying more and more
for their cars and trucks. So we need
to figure out how to get more out of
them in order to stay profitable!

Nothing Stays the Same
By Robert Counts and Chad Counts
Things in your life and in your
business change whether you desire
this change doesn’t matter – stuff
happens.
You only get a choice in what happens
if you plan changes in advance and
follow through on your plans. Even as
you make the changes you plan for
you will still have to deal with changes
outside of your control, but at least
you will have the advantage of already
creating progress with your own
changes.
“Take care to get what you like, or
you will be forced to like what you
get.” George Bernard Shaw.
If you were not proactive in January
2014 and did not do a real review of
where your business was, there is a
good chance your net profit was not
as good as the year before. If you
haven’t made any changes in more
than two years you are wondering:
• Why is business off?
• Why are these other yards paying
“stupid” money for cars?
• Why isn’t life much fun?
• Why do I feel like I am working
harder for less?
In working with and studying
successful people I have learned the
following:
• They know who they are and they
do what they are passionate about.
Business is hard and if you are not
passionate about the business you are
in – work becomes a grind. They many
not be passionate about selling used
parts, but they are passionate about
growing their business. You need to
get to the core of why you are in this
business.
• They like to know if they are
winning. They know what good is
and are striving to be better. They
are never satisfied. They compare,
compete and improve.
• Success first. Ego second. Most people
struggle with change if it’s not their idea.
You may be your own biggest obstacle.
Are you to busy shooting down other
people’s ideas to actually see if their
ideas would work?
• They are not afraid to make changes:
• In themselves,
• In their people, and
• In their business.
• The inaction caused by avoiding
mistakes often costs more than trying
and failing. They try, test, learn and
adjust.
• They work hard. There will always be
people who are smarter than you, who
have more resources or who have had
more opportunity. But nothing says
you can’t level the playing field by out
working your competitors.
“Genius is 1% inspiration and 99%
perspiration.” Thomas Edison
Steps to create your change:
• Start! Most ventures start with an
idea and then get perfected through
experience. Never let best get in the
way of better. You can get a little better
everyday. Most people do not have
a shortage of good ideas they have a
lack of execution. So pick an area for
improvement and start today.
• Focus. Identify one thing that you
and your team think would radically
change your business. Put 80% of your
focus and energy into this. Make a
plan and get started. You will have to
make adjustments along the way so be
prepared for that.
• Identify. As owner/manager/leader
you need to identify your top 20%.
Who are your top producers and are
committed to your company? Spend
80% of your available management/
leadership time with them. They are the
ones who are going to help identify the
most important thing you are going to
tackle and they will be the ones most
responsible for its success.
• Take Away. Strip away things in your
business that are not producing at a high
level. It is better to do one or two things
really well than many things poorly.
Don’t do it because your friends or
competitors do it. It has to fit into your
overall business focus and be something
that you have a passion about.
