NY Stops us Again !!!

Well let me say sorry for the long delay between posts, I been a lil busy and forgetting about this blog but that will not happen again...

Well let me tell you all about This GREAT STATE we live in... Back a few years ago NY State tell ALL auto wreckers that we can NOT sell used Air Bags.. For all kinds of dumb reasons they come up with and think they know. Well besides ALL the other reason why they say it's 1 of the bigest items stolen and they can stop it by doing this.. WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would like to know who got paid for this new law ??? The only ones that benefit this is the NEW car dealers selling them.. NY State says we can sell them now BUT we must have a company to test them and Guarantee them to work !! THATS THE BIGGEST BULLS*** line i ever heard.. First off they have to approve the company, (so far they have'nt did that with the 3 we got) Also if anyone has ever read the sticker on any new car all it says is that the car has a SRS system in it and nothing about them guaranteeing it to work,, So why do we have to if they dont ???? But 1 of the things i have noticed in the Auto Wrecking business lately is that alot of cars are being totalled and not fixed because of blown air bags.. Think of this.. You have a Elderly family member who gets into a car wreck, But it's not very bad but the air bag blows, Now they live on a set money each month, The shops say well we can fix it but the air bag was blown and we have to order a new one and thats more then the whole repair it self so the car being a little old they total it and now your Family member is out of a car and they can not afford another one because they get almost nothing for there car do to being a older model and not worth much.. But if the Auto Body shop could use Used Air Bags for the repair The price would be only about 1/4 the price of the new one and now the car can be fixed and which makes alot of people happy, from your Family member, to the Auto body Shop and down to the insurance company who now dont have to total another car..

Well this is a very BIG DEAL in our Business because NY State has taken a very BIG money maker away from the Auto Salvage Yards and they just dont care.. Well i hope they realize that has taken alot from us and it hurts in our Pocket and hurts all the way down to the poeple who pay the taxes and vote for these people..

LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS !!!!!!

Thanks Again
