WHEN SECONDS COUNT.

We were happy to donate several vehicles for a safety seminar held at Toronto Motorsports Park on Labour Day.

This was a serious and important topic that hits close to home. They staged a realistic racing incident and brought together firefighters from Station 4 Cayuga and Station 12 Fisherville with safety personnel to demonstrate how emergency responders work together when faced with a race car incident.

It was a pretty incredible demonstration of just how much goes on behind the scenes when something goes wrong at the track and how important it is to be prepared.

A big thank you to Bruce Mehlenbacher for thinking of us when you needed vehicles. We’re always happy to lend a hand for such an important cause.

Impressive training and a vital reminder that when seconds count, being prepared matters. 🏁

A vehicle may reach the end of its time on the road—but its value does not end there.

OARA members are leaders in professional automotive recycling. As established local businesses, they provide exceptional service to consumers and repair facilities while creating jobs, supporting their communities and setting a high standard for environmental stewardship.

When an end-of-life or total-loss vehicle arrives, it is carefully processed. Fluids and potentially hazardous materials are safely removed, quality original equipment parts are recovered and inspected, and metals, tires, batteries and other materials are directed into appropriate recycling streams.

Approximately **85% of a vehicle’s weight can be reused or recycled.** That means less waste, fewer new resources consumed and more quality recycled parts available to help reduce the rising cost of vehicle repairs.

This is the leadership OARA members provide every day: serving their communities, protecting the environment and helping keep safe, affordable vehicles on Ontario’s roads.

There is a part of automotive recycling that many people never see.

Professional automotive recyclers process late-model vehicles that have been declared total losses—often because repairing the entire vehicle is no longer economical, not because every part has reached the end of its useful life.

These vehicles can contain high-quality, low-mileage original equipment parts that are carefully recovered, inspected and made available to consumers and repair facilities across Ontario.

By the last calculation, Ontario’s recycled-parts industry was helping consumers and repair facilities save an estimated **$537 million to $806 million** compared with purchasing equivalent new parts. As the cost of living and vehicle repairs continues to rise, those savings are becoming even more important.

Quality recycled parts help make repairs more affordable, extend the life of vehicles and reduce the need to manufacture new products.

**Good for your budget. Good for the environment.**

There are real people behind every quality recycled auto part.

People who know vehicles. People who understand parts. And people who help repair shops and vehicle owners find the right part for the right repair.

Professional auto recyclers carefully identify, inspect and inventory the parts they sell. And when you purchase from an OARA member, quality recycled parts are backed by warranty — giving repairers and vehicle owners confidence in the parts they choose.

These are original equipment parts that have already proven themselves on the road — professionally recovered and ready for their next life.

Quality. Value. Warranty.
