Discover how Davyd Silkovskky from A Plus Auto, along with his brothers, is redefining automotive recycling with a revolutionary approach. We explore their innovative business model at A Plus Auto, which specializes in dismantling newer vehicles, targeting models from 2019 and selectively going back to 2017 for certain German makes. This episode highlights their journey from Michigan to Kentucky, where they transformed their operations by stripping vehicles down to the bare shell, maximizing parts inventory and enhancing efficiency beyond traditional methods.

Dive into the realm of social media with Davyd, who turned from a social media novice into a strategic powerhouse. Learn how his dedication to posting engaging content and employing strategic hashtags led to remarkable organic growth, amassing over 32,000 followers. This episode sheds light on the challenges of handling negative feedback and the importance of networking at industry events like SEMA and URG. Davyd’s insights into forming collaborative communities, including a new Telegram group for Slavic yard owners, are invaluable for those looking to foster growth and knowledge sharing in the automotive sector.

Our conversation also covers the significance of customer service and sales training in the industry. From initially selling on eBay to developing a dedicated website and partnering with body shops, A Plus Auto's journey is a testament to the power of external expertise and training programs such as Cardone University. As we celebrate Thanksgiving, we extend our gratitude to all listeners and guests like Davyd, who contribute to enriching our discussions.
