Sandhill Auto Salvage
Sandhill Auto Salvage has been in business for over 40 years. Sandhill came about when an auto dealer, farmer, and a junk man were talking in a bar one night. The car dealer wanted to know what junk cars were worth. The Auto dealer didn’t like what he was quoted for a price and stated he would start his own salvage yard. The junk man and the car dealer soon worked out an agreed price. The cars were delivered to the farmer’s machine shed on a 2 acre corner. This was the beginning of Shaller and Tower.
