In October of 1983 Jerry Anderson founded AAA Auto Salvage with two employees. It was located on family-owned land that was shared with a body shop, towing service and impound lot for city and county police tows. In 1989 AAA moved to a twenty-acre site and constructed a 22,000 square foot building. Several years later expansion was needed. In 1998 AAA purchased an additional ten acres next to their existing location and built a 33,000 square foot recycling center employing over 25 people. Today AAA employs over 65 people and looks forward to further expansion.
