 History:
LAS was originally the old Robinson Motor Company, which
was founded around 40 years ago by the Robinson Family.
Over the years, they turned a small operation
into a thriving, full-service salvage & recycling company that was
one of the largest in the state of South Carolina. At it's peak there
were over 7,000 automobiles and millions of parts in inventory.
They did this by providing a quality product, providing friendly,
down-home service, and most importantly by caring for the community and
by being HONEST with their customers.
As the story goes, eventually the
Robinson family retired from the industry and sold the business (we
believe some time in the 1990s). The operation changed hands several
times and lost much of it's previous glory. In 2004 the operation was
renamed "Laurens Auto Salvage" and was slowly built up
and improved over the next three years.
In June of 2007, Laurens Auto
Salvage was purchased by Paul Eschenbach from
Spartanburg, SC. During the following months, the business was incorporated
in the state of South Carolina under the name of "Parts Tree
Automotive, LLC".
Also in June of 2007, "Project
Bronco.COM", a thriving classic Ford truck restoration &
Internet business, was merged with Parts Tree Automotive, LLC and
Laurens Auto Salvage, creating a company benefiting from the best
of both worlds............. a high-tech, computer savvy company combined
with a traditional and well-grounded auto salvage operation.
During the following month, the laurensautosalvage.com
domain was purchased and the operation's first web site was published,
bringing LAS to the world! Following in close order was the
addition of a state-of-the-art computer inventory system and the
installation of two national parts locating networks, allowing LAS
to sell & purchase parts all over the country.
In August of 2007, LAS was
granted an automobile wholesaler license by the state of South Carolina,
allowing LAS to purchase rare, exotic, and late model automobiles
that were previously inaccessible.
The Future: Coming soon.....
