85 Skillen Street, Buffalo, NY 14207 presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established auto salvage, scrap and recycling business in the City of Buffalo. Operating continuously since 1964, this successful business sits on a property featuring approximately 2,100 square feet of enclosed warehouse and office space.
A standout feature of this offering is the proprietary City of Buffalo salvage yard license, a highly valuable asset, as the city is no longer issuing new licenses for salvage or junk yard operations. This creates a significant barrier to entry and enhances the long-term value of the business. The sale includes the real estate, some existing inventory and equipment, allowing for a seamless transition to new ownership. This is an exceptional opportunity for an investor or owner-operator looking to capitalize on the continued demand for automotive recycling and salvage services in the Western New York market.
With an established customer base, decades of operating history, and opportunities to expand operations and increase revenue, this business offers substantial upside potential.
