The Past

Big Daddy Scrap is a family-owned business that always treats their customers like family! Big Daddy Scrap the brainchild of Mike and Tammy Spatola. They have a long history in the automotive and scrap metal industry. Mike and Tammy started their first business at the age of 18 - a towing company called M&T Towing. Later, they would sell out to go work for Mike's brother-in-law at A-Reliable Auto Parts in Blue Island, IL. In 1998, Mike and Tammy purchased Speedway Auto Parts at 551 E. Lincoln Highway in Chicago Heights, IL and within the first two years changed the name to Speedway Auto Parts & Wreckers and formed a self-serve auto parts yard at this location known as U-Pull-It.

With multiple family members working with them - son Ken, son-in-law Dan, daughter Tiffany, and son Mike III - they formed Big Daddy Scrap in 2008. The scrap industry is what Mike found to be his passion. So in 2013, Mike and Tammy sold Speedway Auto Parts & Wreckers and U-Pull-It to LKQ Corporation. Now, Mike and Tammy plan to dedicate 100% to Big Daddy Scrap.
