A few pics from my new job
 

Well I've survived day 4 of my new job... everything is going great! So I figured I'd take the camera in to work today and snap a few pics of what I do now. It's actually kinda fun, but definitely hard and dirty work. There's plenty of it though, and that's all I care about My camera battery died while I was snapping, so I only got a few. Should give a good idea though

We start with this.... a fresh new victim. This one was a Saturn SL1. And freakin OUCH to whoever was sitting in the front passenger seat!! :zowned:

Drop the motor and trannys out, put on pallets (this motor and trans was from the Impala I did before the Saturn. Camera dead when I got that one out)

Then put them up in the bins. These are only 2 pics of different bins. There's about 12-14 bins of JUST engines and transmissions, then a bunch more bins full of PS pumps, steering racks and gearboxes, starters, alternators, a/c compressors, fuel pumps, head/tail lights, radios, PCM's, wheels, steering wheels, and other misc stuff

Then they go back out into the yard where they'll spend the rest of their life, until they head to the crusher. This is only a tiny part of the yard.... you can't see it from where I'm standing but off to the right there's another HUGE yard much bigger than what you see here

I'm liking this place so far though... everyone seems cool. Can't beat the benefits.... health/vision/dental insurance (and I think maybe life ins too... not positive).... $6.00/pay period. All the health insurance is 100% company paid... can't beat that! I think I'll fit right in

thats it! I'm coming up there to work! that would be my dream job.

That looks like a cool job...

are all the vehicles brought to u totaled jared or can some be fixed up and driven? either way seems like a great job can see how it probably wont get very boring

What's the name of the company you work for?

My cousin is a manager for a company that does similar work, and they have branches all over the US.

He loves it, and has been moved all over for various promotions. Currently lives in Utah.

Greenleaf Auto Recycling

www.greenleafauto.com

They're owned by Schnitzer Steel Inc, and have Greenleaf and Pick N' Pull locations all over the country

Different company. He works for LKQ, same type of company though.

Awesome job Jared, as I said I don't think you will ever come home stressed from that job.

I've been to Greanleaf before. But going to junk yards reminds me of going to a cell phone store. I usually come out super pissed off and broker. Cause one thing you'll never see is a broke junk yard owner.

You might be getting my buddy's 350z soon. Totaled it out into a bunch of trees at 120mph. Then again it might end up at Lance. It was at the police investigation yard but I saw they moved it the other day. But if you do get it, let me know if you find a H&K pistol.

werd.


good luck Jared.
