Auto dismantling business profitability. How much can you earn from dismantling cars

In the 2000s, auto dismantling was one of the signs automotive life... Before the introduction in 2003 of "draconian" duties on the import of used cars from abroad, millions of BMW "fives" in 34 bodies or right-hand drive Toyota Mark II, which clearly demonstrated to the average post-Soviet citizen what real comfort is. They almost buried the domestic auto industry. Even its new representatives had practically no advantages over the 10-year-old "German" or "Japanese".

Original spare parts were quite expensive, auto parts stores for foreign cars have not yet sprung up like mushrooms, unlike in the 2010s. These were the only downsides to owning a foreign car. They rescued auto dismantlers, which offered any used spare parts - from hover parts to engines - at affordable prices.

Varieties of auto dismantling

There are two types of showdowns that require different start-up capital and differ in the specifics of doing business.

Option 1. Garage disassembly

The principle of its operation is simple - buy a damaged or faulty car at the price of scrap metal and disassemble it into parts that can be sold separately. The profitability is quite high: from 150 to 300%. Having bought a car for 50 thousand rubles, you can sell its remains for 100-150 thousand.

High profitability.
The minimum amount to enter the market (if there is a garage, from 45-50 thousand rubles). You can start with the cheap segment ("Germans", "Japanese" of the 1990s) and gradually move into the "expensive" category.
The room can be used in parallel as a garage service (do not forget to indicate the appropriate OKVED when registering).

Unpredictable payback period for even one machine. Parts can sit in the garage for years.
One garage will quickly become small. It is advisable to enter the market with your own house with land of 10 acres or more, or the ability to purchase or rent several adjacent garages.
Large "dead balance" (spare parts that can no longer be sold). Previously, it included body parts, since foreign cars did not rot until 12-13 years old. Today, due to the age of cars in the 90s and the "quality" of half of the cars in the 2000s, bodywork is scattered like cakes.

Option 2. Supply of used spare parts to order

This direction has always been considered "elite", since the profitability was striving for crazy numbers: from 500 to 1500%. Moreover, the work was and is being carried out exclusively to order with an advance payment, which completely eliminates the risks.

The essence is as follows: receive an order for the supply of a part (usually a large size: engine, gearbox, original sports suspension assembly) from Europe or Japan, buy it at a bargain price in a "car graveyard" and sell it with a 30-50-fold markup ...

Considering that the Germans and Japanese sent cars for scrap in a condition that the domestic auto industry did not have when leaving the factory back in 2000, the business was very profitable. In the neighboring states (Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Finland), even profitable "transshipment" points for Russian traveling salesmen for auto parts have appeared.

What today

Today, for a number of reasons, business is rapidly dying out, and there are many reasons for this:

Online stores bring new Chinese spare parts (including bodywork) within 1-2 days, the cost of which is the same or even lower than used ones with unknown depreciation.
The principles of automakers have changed: the engines and gearboxes of Toyota and Nissan of the 1980-1990s were designed for millions of runs, for cars of the 2000s the “limit” of 400-500 thousand is declared, and it continues to decline. With the advent of the Euro-6 standard in the 2010s, the motor resource is expected to drop to 250 thousand km. Soon there will be nothing to disassemble the machines. Any "Audi-80" produced in 1990 by the age of 15 had no more than 40% wear of the main components. For cars after 2005, depreciation will approach 100% by the same age.
The economy hit hard on the showdowns working with abroad. Due to the devaluation of the ruble in 2014-2015, the average prices for contract engines from Europe / Japan grew from 40-50 thousand to 80-90. Now there is a tendency for them to decrease to 70, but losses of companies are growing due to falling demand and lower margins.

The main source of income of modern auto dismantlers is body parts, engines and gearboxes. The demand is supported by a large number of accidents on the territory of the Russian Federation, as a result of which the owners need to replace them. China is not happy with the quality, the original is expensive, and if the car is older than 10 years, you have to wait for it on special order for more than a month. The only way out is to buy a disassembly part.

In addition, the “fat” years have created extreme competition in this market. It is difficult for anyone who just comes here to just buy the first car for analysis. IN large companies there is a special position: a person who checks new offers on car sales sites every 5-10 minutes. A car suitable for purchase for analysis "flies away" almost instantly.

How to open

The specifics depend on the direction of work. Many garage disassembly works without registration at all, but we still recommend getting an IP. After all, there are competitors who may have connections in the tax service, and no one has canceled the “black” methods of eliminating competitors.

Territory: a private house with a large garage or 3-4 garages in a cooperative (you can start with one).

Basic tools:

A set of automotive tools (preferably two).
LBM ("Bulgarian") and Dremel ("mini-Bulgarian").
Drill with a set of drills for metal.
Hand-held locksmith tools (hammers, sledgehammers, chisels).
Professional chemicals for loosening sour bolts.
Spring ties, pullers, special keys for working with separate brands machines.
Multimeter for checking the functionality of electrical components.

Features of work

We will not dwell on the specifics of the work of garage disassembly. If you decide to open this line of business, how to disassemble a car, you most likely know better than us. Let us dwell in more detail on the specifics of the work of a company entering the international markets for trade in used auto parts.

If you plan to work with European and Asian markets, an LLC or JSC is registered. Please note that an individual entrepreneur is not entitled to conduct foreign economic activity. If the design uses "purchased" legal address, in principle, that it should not be included in the list of "mass" ones. Otherwise, the tax office will refuse to register you. But the cost of a unique address is also higher.

Since the enterprise is called disassembly only on paper, in fact it is an intermediary, the garage is only needed to store the parts before handing over to the customer.

The main difficulty is going through customs clearance. You can use the services of customs agents, but this is an unnecessary participant in the division of the orange, which reduces the already falling profitability of the business. In a small company, the function of an intermediary is performed by the entrepreneur himself (it is advisable to have connections at customs, otherwise the clearance takes a lot of time). Delivery speed is one of the key competitive advantages of a successful company of this kind.

A large company with small volumes during the launch period should outsource customs clearance, and with an increase in purchases, hire a professional agent. Savings are achieved by reducing downtime at customs, speeding up delivery (and making the business more attractive for the client) and optimizing the costs of customs clearance by competently selecting the TN VED codes.

Another point is the delivery of cargo from the border to the location of the company. If, after the transfer of the cargo to the TC for delivery to the client, the responsibility is transferred to the transport workers and, in which case, the breakdown can be “blamed” on them, then with a transfer from the border this trick will not work. As a rule, the part must be photographed in all projections before packing and shipping to the customer.

If you have the financial resources to organize your own transport workshop, it is worth doing. Moreover, it will bring substantial additional profit due to the commercial delivery of goods through an affiliate program with other companies. If not, the choice of the TC should be approached very carefully: starting with studying reviews on the Internet to analyzing the contract by a professional lawyer. Delivery problems (loss or breakage of goods) - main reason the closure of similar enterprises in Russia.

Eventually

The used spare parts market is in limbo today. It is rather difficult to predict its prospects, so our recommendations on this matter are rather restrained. But its main advantage is that a person who understands cars and has starting resources (premises, work experience) can start an enterprise with minimal costs.

To create a serious international company, large financial investments and connections at customs are needed. Logistics is also extremely complex, but provided there are good suppliers (by the way, there are many fraudsters in this market), the company has every chance of success and development.

Capital investment in business: from $ 50,000

Payback period of the project: 6-18 months

After all, this type of business has many important nuances, compliance with which is mandatory.

But if the entrepreneur is attentive and persistent enough, the efforts will be rewarded.

There are several reasons for the relevance of such activities even in the current times of economic instability:

Many car owners strongly “stick to” their souls and are in no hurry to sell them. Even if you have to constantly repair them.
And from those who can and would like to buy new car, it is not always possible.

Moreover, these reasons take place not only in the CIS countries.

Moreover, in Europe it has been developing for a long time and much more actively.

There, customers take parts like in a supermarket from the shelves: they just walk around the territory, look for the right ones and remove them themselves.

So entrepreneurs in Russia have an example to strive for and follow.

The relevance of the idea to open auto dismantling

The list of the above reasons for the relevance of the idea to open an auto dismantling facility in Russia is even wider:

If you buy a wrecked car and sell parts from it, sometimes you can help out even more than you spent on the purchase.
Low purchasing power in the autosphere is relevant for Russian-speaking countries not only in times of crisis.
Most of the population cannot afford to buy expensive foreign cars.
And the situation is unlikely to change in the next 10-15 years.
This allows us to conclude that auto dismantling will be relevant in Russia and other countries for many years to come.
Take a look at the diagram below.
The percentage of owners of "old" cars is quite large.
And all of them, sooner or later, are faced with the fact that parts for their car brand are removed from production.
But few people want to give up the usual vehicle because of only one faulty item.
Therefore, motorists actively use auto disassembly and it makes sense to open one.

Auto disassembly personnel

“We are truly drawn to do what is destined for us. And when we start to do this, money is immediately found, it opens the right doors, we feel useful and work feels like a game. "
Julia Cameron

But this is only possible if the qualifications allow you to perform all the necessary tasks.

And also there is enough time and effort for this. When the business expands, you will not be able to do it on your own.

the auto mechanic is the central figure, he dismantles the car into parts;
accountant - can be outsourced on an hourly basis;
the manager is usually the initiator of the idea to open auto-dismantling.

Territory for opening auto dismantling

The size of the territory is selected based on the expected scale of the business, but not less than 500 sq. M. It will be especially good if it is located next to the highway and a public transport stop.

The site is divided into separate parts for a more successful organization of work:

A place where cars will be taken apart by mechanics for parts.
The warehouse where the parts will be stored.
Inside, you need to install racks with signed shelves.
This is done to speed up the search for the parts the customer needs.
Better yet, if you keep an electronic database of available items.
Office for receiving and consulting visitors.
Waste storage area (scrap metal).

Auto dismantling as a business needs advertising

Not every car enthusiast who has decided to part with his car knows that it can be sent for auto dismantling and at the same time help out some money.

After all, it is in any case more profitable than just recycling the transport!

Therefore, the task of entrepreneurs is to inform the public.

There are several options for what you can do for auto disassembly:

Print a stock of flyers with a quick breakdown information.
These flyers can be placed at gas stations, service stations, in the subway.
Instead of flyers, you can print business cards and distribute them to your customers.
Not every car dismantling owner can afford to invest in outdoor advertising.
But if there is such an opportunity, do it.
Because few other advertising methods are as effective as banners and billboards in prominent places.
Convenient check-in can be indirectly classified as advertising methods.
The fact is that if it is convenient for customers to come to you, then he will distinguish this auto disassembly among others.
And it will be more convenient for you to take away the excess from the territory.
Quality service and customer care is your best way to advertise auto dismantling services.
Strive to earn positive reviews and will always have new visitors.

What sources do they use to get auto breakdown vehicles?

One of the main questions for novice entrepreneurs who have decided to open a car dismantling yard is where to get cars for spare parts?

There are several options:

The most common way is to buy wrecked cars from the public.
They need to be searched for by ads, forums, websites.
You can buy cars from the parking lot of the traffic police, if the owners have refused it.
Some parts are profitable to buy abroad.
In this case, the payback is achieved due to their high quality.
It is better to go with a prepared list of the necessary spare parts.
You can look for cars for auto dismantling at specialized auctions where firms sell wrecked cars.
But buying cars from car thieves is not recommended, no matter how fast and cheap it may be.
Otherwise, you can get yourself into trouble with the law.

How much does it cost to open a car breakdown business?

Auto dismantling is not a business that requires minimal investment to open it up.

Although you can start in a small garage with 1-2 broken cars.

But for a full-fledged business, you need to purchase at least 10 cars.

Thus, the list of expenses for starting an auto dismantling business will look like this:

Expenditure item to open auto-breakdown	Amount
In total, to open you need:	From $ 50,000
Lease of territory for auto dismantling from 500 sq.m., arrangement and zoning (average cost in Moscow - from $ 125 / meter).	From 75 000 $ / year
Registration of permits to open a company, documentation. The cost will vary depending on whether you will carry out the registration yourself. Or contact intermediaries, which is simpler but more expensive.	RUB 2200-4600
Buying cars for auto dismantling (the optimal number is 10-15 cars).	From 500,000 rubles.
Launch of an advertising campaign.	From 15,000 rubles.
Employee salary (depends on the size of the state, also some employees may receive hourly wages).	Negotiable
Purchase of equipment for the office area (mobile phones with unlimited tariff, computers with internet access)	From 50,000 rubles.
Expendable materials	RUB 15,000
Unexpected expenses	RUB 15,000

Auto dismantling as a business has its own risks

The main risk of auto dismantling as a business is high costs to purchase broken carsthat may not pay off.

There is also a threat to buy a car that is hijacked, but this is not a common case.

Therefore, we will dwell in more detail on the possibility of minimizing the first, main risk.

Usually, to start auto dismantling, it is enough to buy two cars.
But in fact, it is better to have at least 10 brands for full-fledged work.
So parts from one car may not be in demand for a week or two, and then sold out.
To balance the sales, you need to expand your assortment.
You need to be "in the know" in order to understand which cars will most often need details.
Such information can be obtained exclusively from the workflow itself, not from books, websites or any other sources.
In addition to the most popular models, it is worth purchasing those brands that you like.
After all, when a person is sincerely interested in something, the business is more successful, information is perceived easier.
And clients will definitely feel it!
In this business, you cannot count on regular customers - they will appear only in a couple of years.
But with clients, you still need to demonstrate the highest level of service, since reputation is above all.

And why is it still worth paying attention to such a type of business as auto dismantling,

see the video:

The payback of the idea to open auto dismantling

The average payback period is about 6-18 months and will depend on many factors.

For example, from the amount of initial capital investment.

And also on how passionate you are about the automotive theme.

After all, only on the basis of a sincere interest can it turn out to invest all your time and efforts in the business.

However, just love for cars and the desire to make money are also not enough.

You will need basic technical knowledge that will need to be supplemented and improved.

Even if you completely hire the staff "from outside", in order to competently manage the business, you cannot do without preparation.

Also, knowledge will help to correctly distribute capital in order to develop a business from scratch at minimal cost.

As you already understood, it is important not only, how to open autodisassembly, but also how to stay afloat, having thought over the ways of solving all possible risks.

If you are confident in your abilities, this business will bring you not only a solid income, but also a sense of self-realization.

After all, it is not often possible to create a large business on your own by starting it in a small garage!

Disassembly is not only criminal. Most often, this word means a point where old cars are disassembled into spare parts, with the subsequent sale of the latter. With the right organization of the business, a double profit is possible, but the matter is very dirty, in the literal sense of the word. On the other hand, why not men's business in a crisis? And sanctions play into our hands!

So, a car is not a luxury, but a means of transportation. Like any complex mechanism, a car tends to break down. Due to untimely service, defective parts or general temporary wear and tear. There are no problems with new cars, they rarely break down, and rare breakdowns are usually repaired under warranty or with the help of new spare parts.

With cars that have been in service, it is a completely different matter. It happens that the old one, albeit in good condition, car parts are difficult to find. They simply cease to be produced several years after the completion of the release of this model. This is where car showdowns help. Where can I find a working node instead of a broken one. And it's not that expensive compared to the new elements.

So, everyone who has ever repaired a car and knows about a showdown must have thought about this type of business. And there is nothing difficult in opening your own car disassembly point. A few skilled hands, a storage area, freight transport and a drop of advertising. The start-up capital for starting such a business will barely exceed 50 thousand rubles.

Why is auto dismantling beneficial?

In the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 1001 of 24.112008 " On the procedure for registering vehicles", According to the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 139" On Amendments to the Regulatory Legal Acts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on the Registration of Vehicles "dated July 10, 2017, amendments were made according to which engines and other numbered units, even when scrapped, are not released. This means that if the engine of an old car is anywhere, then such an engine, removed for disassembly, will have a good value, and it will not be difficult to install and issue it on a new car.

To design an engine from disassembly in 2018, very little is required:

The disassembled engine, installed instead of the broken one, must match the model and all other characteristics. That is, the engine must be "native" for the car;
The engine number is legible - not overwritten, does not have mechanical damage and traces of deep rust;
The engine is not listed in the traffic police wanted database.

Therefore, a buyer who decides to change the engine in his four-wheeled friend can purchase any one he liked at the local disassembly, install it on his own, and contact the local department of the MREO traffic police to make a change in the vehicle passport. This means that local disassembly will work well on a working engine removed from a non-working car. Since nothing but how to properly disassemble the junk is not required from them. Net profit with dirty hands.

The stages of a long journey begin with a small auto-dismantling

Aspiring entrepreneurs planning to open their own auto dismantling shop make their first mistake at the very beginning of the business. They try to buy several cars at once, although they could start with one. Correctly chosen.

It is best, if there is no experience, to start with cars domestic production... First, they are easier to disassemble. Secondly, the demand for spare parts is higher. Not without pitfalls. However, they are not that scary.

For example, the purchased old LADA-2112 ("dvenashka") for 25 thousand rubles, after disassembling and selling it in units, brought 50 thousand rubles. And this is for 1.5 months excluding the cost body parts... Finding such a car is not difficult even in the city of residence. As a rule, its owners do not bother and sell it “as is”. Having previously removed it from the register in connection with disposal. The fact is that, according to the law, about 10 thousand rubles must be paid for the disposal of the car in a special point. So every owner of unnecessary junk is happy to sell it at modest prices. Other expenses are small: delivery from the seller to the place of analysis - 1,500 rubles; renting a garage for parsing - 2500 rubles; ads on the Internet - 1000 rubles. The total costs are 30 thousand rubles. An additional plus of "our brand" - it can be disassembled with the help of available tools and a hammer, no Torex keys and other "stars" and "hexagons".

Domestic cars are best sold in large units - gearbox, engine, front suspension, rear suspension, interior elements, doors, hood. It's not worth it to waste time on trifles, since even a large unit is quite cheap, and finding a buyer for a penny trifle is impossible.

An empty body can be scrapped; it weighs approximately 300 kg. Real points where ferrous metal is accepted give a good price, but work with large volumes. To do this, you need to collect at least a ton of scrap metal. That is - 3 bodies and other scrap iron left after dismantling. A ton of such scrap costs from 9 to 15 thousand rubles. But, if the condition of the body is satisfactory, it can be sold in parts for a cut - TV, roof, bottom and other elements that customers like. So from the body you can additionally "squeeze" about 5-10 thousand rubles. And only then the leftovers should be collected in a "ton of scrap metal" and scrapped.

Let's calculate the profit: costs 30 thousand rubles; analysis work is priceless, that is, free; implementation - a nodal one, brought 50 thousand rubles, the body "left" for 5 thousand rubles, later the junk brought another 9 thousand rubles (3 thousand from this car). Let's look like a figure. 50 + 5 + 3 - 30 \u003d 28 thousand rubles per month of work. Unbelievable but old domestic car, subject to the popularity of the model, made it possible to get almost 100% of the profit only because it was slowly disassembled and sold in parts.

It's more interesting with foreign cars. Dissected are much more expensive. True, some spare parts can wait for their buyer for several months. But, they are worth it. You also need to understand that you will have to run after some foreign cars, that is, to travel. By region or even to neighboring areas. On average, a 15-30-year-old foreign car brings 70-200 thousand rubles. With the purchase price as a whole - 40-60 thousand. A profit of 200% is not uncommon in this direction. But, there are much more difficulties - finding a suitable copy, delivery, troubleshooting and disassembly. And yes, do not forget about a set of special equipment and tools for disassembly foreign car. Good set - very expensive. Practice shows that for some foreign cars the body is of rare value and is able to bring more, being sold by cut-off parts, than the sale of components and spare parts from it. This applies to old Japanese and German cars, depending on the region of residence.

At the first stage, when you can afford only one small garage for one small car domestic production, it is worth examining the market demand. For example, the same Internet will suggest popular queries in your region regarding used spare parts. Based on this popularity, it is necessary to choose the model of the first disassembled car.

This business should not be started if all knowledge about the device of a car comes down to the only ability to determine which side of the car it has. Because every day at every stage you will have to not only deal with spare parts, but also with their defective ones. It is clear that spare parts are sold as-is at auto-dismantling and performance is not guaranteed. However, if you sell spare parts exclusively for non-working ones, then your auto disassembly reputation will develop accordingly. Serious and expensive purchases will not be. Over time, such disassembly "rolls down" to the scheme - buying a car, disassembling it, handing over the received scrap metal for scrap. This is also a business that can generate profits with minimal investment. Cars are bought there in a completely "killed" state. But, he will not bring mountains of gold. Although, to tell the truth, auto dismantling also does not promise big profits, but it allows you to earn quite good money, take your free hands and an empty garage.

In this direction of business, ingenuity and a creative approach to each copy are important. Because cars will come across different. The old ones are rotten and completely inoperative, such will only make a profit as scrap metal, therefore it is necessary to assess whether they are worth the cost of transportation; new ones - after an accident, burned out, drowned and the like - they will be very expensive, but also profit, if the right approach, will bring a good one.

In general, the auto-parsing business is an ongoing learning business, every entrepreneur who chooses this niche focuses on what they do best. It is not uncommon when auto dismantlers are segmented by nodes and directions - someone deals only with engines and gearboxes; someone's undercarriage and interior parts; some sell exclusively tin cans.

There are also wholesale auto dismantlers. Working on the back. They buy absolutely everything that rides on wheels and has an engine, carry out partial disassembly, sort and sell the resulting components and parts in bulk. Engines with boxes - separately, interior elements - separately, chassis - separately, bodies - either for sale or for scrap. And their customers - smaller disassembly, the same segment ones - immediately receive the necessary units. They completely disassemble them, defect them and sell them at retail. And this is an already established scheme of work. Wholesalers have the ability to purchase raw materials throughout the country. Small showdowns, agents and even whole car dealerships and services work on them.

It is also possible, having paid attention to this business niche, to disassemble not only cars, but also any equipment where there is an engine - motorcycles, ATVs, cultivators, walk-behind tractors, chainsaws and other tools. The advantages of this area - you need a small room, you can assemble something working from the accumulated spare parts, you can buy equipment and sell spare parts throughout the country using, for example, an online store - delivery, even transport companieswill be cheap. But, this is a different business, different from car dismantling.

By the way, upcycling old auto parts Is also a promising business area. What is it - read the link below!

The number of cars on our roads is only growing, and all of them require, and after several years, repairs. Not every car owner will buy new car whenever the components and assemblies of the old bolivar begin to fail, and replacing the spare part solves the problem. In addition to the natural process of wear and tear of structural elements of a car, frequent accidents play a role. Many motorists also purchase used cars, mainly imported models, which further creates certain difficulties with the purchase of spare parts that may simply not be produced anymore or cost a decent amount. In the absence of an analogue, the original part for the car often has to wait for weeks, or even months.

In such situations, auto dismantling saves, where the motorist can find the spare parts he needs for his car among the offered assortment of parts. Automobile disassembly is the name given to enterprises that buy cars for disassembling them into parts and then selling them for spare parts. The option of purchasing parts in this way is common both in Russia and in the territories of other states. A business, one way or another connected with cars, is always profitable with proper planning of actions and miscalculation of all the details, and a competently drawn up business plan will help to launch a mechanism that makes a profit. If you are thinking about how to open autoparsing from scratch, then you should know in advance about all the nuances and pitfalls that may occur.

Even the most reliable components and assemblies of a car wear out over time, so the topic of auto parts will always be relevant. Another thing is that the competition in this business is now quite high. Auto dismantling was at its peak at the turn of the 1990-2000s, when it was not so easy to get spare parts for a foreign-made car. Now the activity of the auto-parsing business is gradually declining due to the large number of car dealerships, including on the Internet, offering new parts for cars at reasonable prices with delivery in a short time. Sadly, but modern cars serve much less than the car models released in the 90s. In the coming years, auto-parsing as a business will not lose its relevance, since even cars of 15-20 years of age still feel good with proper care, the same can be said about car models produced 8-10 years ago. But then it is already doubtful that there will be anything to disassemble the cars, since manufacturers every year reduce the declared service life.

Before taking decisive steps towards the auto dismantling business, you should consider your own opportunities and risks associated with the lack of demand for specific car parts. The payback of a car dismantling business and its timing directly depend on the chosen location for organizing auto dismantling, the relevance of the product, the quality of the services provided and the campaign to attract customers. It is necessary to thoroughly analyze the market, assess the level of competition, and also identify demand in existing directions.

Varieties of auto dismantling

Costs, as well as the specifics of organizing and running a business, differ depending on the selected disassembly option.

Garage auto dismantling

The business is carried out according to a simple principle, assuming (with a bat, old, etc.) at the price of scrap metal, followed by disassembly by screw and sale of spare parts. You can help out on autoparsing three times more costs. The advantages of a way to organize a business are:

High profitability (earnings from each dismantled machine will be 150-300%);
Minimum initial investment (you can start with 50,000 rubles spent on buying a car for analysis);
Using the premises for the purpose additional services.

It is impossible to predict the payback period of a business, but a thorough study of the market and consumer demand will help reduce risks;
Many car parts will inevitably "hang", and possibly for years. Now they are actively scattering engines, boxes, as well as bodywork, which a few years ago at auto dismantling was exactly the same “dead weight”. Now the age of a car of the 90s with high quality bodies is already approaching the venerable, and cars after 2000-2005 do not differ in the same high reliability. In addition, car accidents have become more frequent;
The business will not do with one garage, since its area will not allow storing many parts. Better to start right away with large plot or to expand the territory for auto dismantling gradually, for example, by purchasing or renting also neighboring garages.

Auto parts on order

The profitability of the business when choosing this direction of auto-parsing significantly exceeds the option considered above. This type of activity provides a large profit from the business with minimal risksbecause the work is done on a prepaid order. After receiving an order for certain parts, the car is bought at a bargain price, and the part is sold at a markup that exceeds its purchase several times. 15-18 years ago, in this auto-parsing business, it was possible to earn fabulous money up to 1500% on each car, since the Germans and Japanese sent cars with quite suitable spare parts to the dump. Now the competition in the sales of auto parts has increased significantly. Online stores will be able to bring new Chinese analogues of auto parts at a low price in a couple of days, and due to the rise in the dollar rate, the cost of cars for parsing from abroad has increased.

Due to the fact that the engines and gearboxes of cars produced after 2005 are no longer designed for serious mileage, it is not necessary to hope that used units from donor cars will serve faithfully. If a car of the 80-90s could live up to 15 years in excellent condition, now, as soon as it expires warranty period operation, the bolivar begins to crumble on the go.

Whichever way you choose to organize the auto-dismantling, you will need to draw up a detailed business plan. It needs to take into account every little detail from the miscalculation of the costs of opening, organizing a place of work, purchasing cars, advertising, etc. to current monthly expenses, including salaries for employees, taxes and utilities, which will be inevitable in any case. Once you start drawing up your business plan, you need to determine what type of car you will be working with. When choosing a direction, it is important to identify consumer demand for auto parts, for which it is quite enough to talk with the masters of several car services. To increase the profit from the auto-parsing business, it is better to organize the provision of additional repair services as well, this will provide a regular income. All these details must be calculated in the business plan.

Location

To carry out the activity of dismantling cars for parts, it is necessary to choose the right site. Best of all, if it will be owned by a novice entrepreneur, since the cost of renting premises will "eat up" the lion's share of income. The auto-parsing business will be especially beneficial to owners of private houses with outbuildings, large territories, hangars. The site should be located near the track, not far from the stop. Its size depends on the size of your business, because premises of appropriate dimensions are selected for the expected volume of work. It is also important to understand that auto dismantling as a business may not "take off" in every area, therefore it is necessary to find the most convenient place with a good entrance.

The territory for the implementation of auto dismantling should include a place for direct disassembly of cars, storage of waste, a warehouse for auto parts, an office space. It will be necessary to allocate a lot of space for parsing a car, spare parts from only one car will occupy at least ten squares, and to increase the client base in the future, you will need to have about 10-15 sets for different models... It is better to immediately divide the premises into sections where machines will be disassembled, spare parts are stored and waste stored. It is also important to provide a separate meeting place for clients where some furniture will need to be supplied.

When organizing an auto disassembly warehouse, it is necessary to equip it with racks for storing auto parts and from the first days carefully consider sorting all parts, you can also sign the shelves by car brands, modifications, etc., in order to further exclude the search for the required car spare part, which turns into archaeological excavations. The client does not like to wait, therefore, the correct arrangement in the warehouse "on the shelves" will speed up the process of providing the necessary spare parts. In addition, it is important to organize data on a computer and keep a strict record of current business affairs. By providing a database of in-stock parts, you can easily find the product you want, as well as monitor sales.

Personnel and organization of activities

The number of hired workers to organize a car breakdown will depend on the size of your business. It will not be possible to carry out activities on your own, the process of disassembling a car requires at least two people. For disassembly, you need a good auto mechanic (maybe more than one), who understands the device of auto components and assemblies, a locksmith, an accountant and a manager. As a rule, the entrepreneur himself is in charge of the process; if you have the necessary skills, you can also keep the accounting department of the enterprise yourself or hire a part-time person. The employees you hired to carry out the disassembly process must know their business well, be able to disassemble and assemble machines different brands, cut the body into pieces, etc. In the process of business development, it may be necessary to expand the staff.

Having decided to open a car dismantling facility, it is better to legalize the activity immediately in accordance with the regulations of Russian legislation. To organize a business for the sale of auto parts, it is more advisable to open an individual entrepreneur, in some cases an LLC or JSC is suitable if you plan to enter European or Asian markets. An individual entrepreneur cannot conduct foreign economic activity. Of course, at first, unregistered activities can also "ride", government authorities are unlikely to immediately pay attention to you, but do not forget about competitors, who, while researching the market, may well find methods of government, revealing an illegally existing auto dismantling.

Where to get cars and parts

Auto dismantling is exactly the case when, in order to sell something, you need to buy something. Having decided on which car brands it is better to start a business, you need to first purchase at least two models for spare parts. For the purpose of a successful acquisition, it is necessary to monitor the resources. An actual option for a successful business would be to buy a car that is 10-15 years old, since now it is the cars that have come to this date that many parts are already required for replacement. The most demanded parts are those that most often suffer from accidents. You can get the right car for disassembly as follows:

On sites for the sale of used cars, flea markets, by advertisements on boards on the Internet, forums, etc .;
At impoundment areas, from where the car was not taken away by the owners, for which you will have to establish contacts with the traffic police;
Abroad. Fitting cars for parsing is an option that has already become a classic. You can also go specifically for certain details, the trip will pay off thanks to high quality spare parts;
At auctions of used and wrecked cars;
You can also buy a part from competitors in the event of a shortage.

When looking for a broken car for disassembly, it is important not to run into car thieves trying to get rid of the bolivar in this way. Even with unconscious "cooperation" with criminals, you can incur unnecessary problems with the law.

Additional services

Often, during auto dismantling, small workshops are organized that also offer maintenance services, which significantly increases business profits and satisfies the client's needs for assembly of parts on site. You can expand the auto-parsing activity to include some additional types of work:

Replacement of auto parts;
Repair of the main units and components of the machine;
Locksmith work;
Tire fitting;
Bodywork;
Car painting and other types of services.

To a large extent, the scope of the enterprise will depend on the amount available for organizing activities. For additional services plus to necessary equipment and tools for auto disassembly require the installation of special equipment, for example:

Diagnostic;
Balancing;
Tire fitting;
Hydraulic;
Painting equipment;
A set of tools (you will need it in any case, even if your company will not provide additional services).

It is better if it is possible to provide the client with the right to choose the purchase of a used one or new part... Of course, the cost of parts in the second case will be much higher, but your purchase costs will also increase. Depending on the size of the enterprise, the business plan includes all acquisition costs additional equipment, while it is not at all necessary to purchase several types of special equipment at once, it will be enough to purchase a lift, pneumatics and a basic set of tools. This data should also be reflected in the business plan.

Advertising is one of the most important components of the success of any enterprise, including auto dismantling. Of course, its scale will depend on the amount at your disposal, as well as the size of the business, but in any case, at first, you just need to declare yourself and attract the first customers. Advertising of goods and services must be given special attention, otherwise it will take many months to wait until buyers of spare parts appear. Effective tools for an advertising campaign to promote a business are:

Outdoor advertising means (billboards, signboard);
Announcements in print media, radio;
Business cards and leaflets that can be handed out in places where motorists stay (parking lots, car markets, etc.) or left at service stations, gas stations and other places often visited by motorists;
Internet bulletin boards, thematic groups in social networks, forums of motorists;
You can also create your own website, where you can inform about the range of spare parts and services, as well as implement the possibility of ordering parts via the Internet.

Do not underestimate the effectiveness of online advertising, it really works. With its help, having a little sweat over posting with a link to your site, you can attract a large number of customers absolutely free of charge. In the future, business advertising costs will decrease, a stable customer base will be formed, and new ones will be drawn thanks to word of mouth. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain the quality of the auto dismantling service and additional services at the proper level. Grateful clients are the best advertisement for any business.

Calculation of profitability

Literally from scratch, it will not work to open autoparsing, there will be costs in any case. The business plan must necessarily include the calculation of all costs associated with starting a business and running costs. Let's calculate the approximate payback taking into account the costs when organizing a small auto dismantling. The main costs will be:

Purchase of premises and arrangement - about 1 million rubles;
Paperwork - up to 5000 rubles;
Advertising - 10,000 rubles;
Purchase of equipment - from 300-500,000 rubles;
Purchase of cars for disassembly (in the amount of 10-15 pcs.) - from 500,000 rubles;
Workers' wages are negotiable;
Taxes, utility bills - 10-15,000 rubles;
Minor expenses - 15,000 rubles.

So, the amounts can vary significantly, and the payback of the auto dismantling business varies from about 6 to 18 months and depends on many factors, such as the initial investment, the number of cars purchased for dismantling, the quality of the advertising campaign, the provision of additional services, the choice of models for which there is a demand, etc. It may take much more time to promote a business, all in direct proportion to the above nuances. Here, the presence of territory for auto-dismantling of property or its absence also plays a huge role; the latter significantly increases costs.

For a successful business, you need to have flexibility and the ability to “catch the wave” in time when the market situation changes. Prospects for the development of auto dismantling are guaranteed to be difficult to predict due to the instability in the country and the world as a whole. To create a serious business, including foreign economic activity, significant investments will be required. In addition, it takes a lot of effort to set up logistics at the highest level. Of course, with a great desire to succeed in this business, coinciding with financial capabilities, as well as with the right approach to organizing auto dismantling, the enterprise will be quite profitable, so there is definitely a point in doing business. And given that the demand for auto parts is considerable, you can make good money on this business.
