Jeff and Teri Balow purchased Balow's Hwy 7 Auto Salvage, Inc in December of 1996. Their background started in 1989 with the installation and selling of Hollander Yard Management Systems; the elite of Yard Management Computer systems and Interchange manuals. After discovering what a friendly industry it was, they decided it was time to make the change to getting their hands into the industry.
Jeff and Teri Balow purchased Balow's Hwy 7 Auto Salvage, Inc in December of 1996. Our background started in 1989 with the installation and selling of Hollander Yard Management Systems; the elite of Yard Management Computer systems and Interchange manuals. After discovering what a friendly industry it was, we decided it was time to make the change to
getting our hands into the industry.
The yard we purchased has been in this prime location for over 10 years. It changed hands many times and finally, has found owners that care about the presentation and appearance and reputation of the yard. Many changes have happened since purchasing the yard. In 2001 we faced a tragidey that we hope no one else experiences. We had a fire in the garage of the shop, the entire buidling burnt to the ground. For 6 months we worked out of the little house on the property. We are now the proud owners of a new building, with up to date equipment. We crusher was purchased to crush cars to make the appearance of the yard, more
presentable.
The number of cars that are in the yard at any given time has increased from 300 to over 1000 cars. There are walkways, and rows for us to better service the customers. A giant map in thefront of the office helps us assist those Saturday afternoon treasure hunters. We started with just Jeff and 1 employee when the yard was purchased. Teri worked on Saturdays to assist with bookwork as well as other tasks. Teri is now a full time employee at the counter. We now have 3 employees. They are dedicated, hardworking people, that care about the quality of the job they do, as well as the quality of the parts and service we deliver to our customers.
