How
did you get into the auto parts/salvage business?
Starting college I had a part time
job at a place called "Parts Central". It was in Berkeley
at the lower end of Gilman St. They were doing very well as an
'european only' salvage yard. I worked there through my second
year when I was drafted. Two years later I returned to work the
summer, intending to start school again in the fall. Fall came
and went, I was having a great time... From '70 to '78 I learned
the business hands on: selling, buying, pulling, accounting and
customer relations.
