Team PRP adds Brown's Auto Salvage of Massachusetts to network

Brownʼs Auto Salvage, located in Winchendon, Mass., is the latest automotive recycler to join with the Team PRP network. The newest partner holds the special distinction of becoming the first Team PRP member in Massachusetts. The addition of Brownʼs brings the burgeoning Team PRP membership total to 135 locations nationwide. “Brownʼs has established an excellent reputation in the New England area as a high-quality, environmentally-conscious auto parts recycler. It is certainly a pleasure to welcome them to Team PRP, particularly since it is evident that their business model is in keeping with our team vision and high standards,” noted Mike Kunkel, chairman of the Team PRP national board of directors. Brownʼs Auto Salvage in Bomoseen, Vermont—a 30-year-old business already a member of Team PRP—had opened a second location in 2011, when owner Mark Brown partnered with J.C. Cahill. The newer Massachusetts location co-owners, Brown and Cahill, had known one another for several years prior to their decision to partner in opening the first-rate facility that would serve the greater Boston area. Upon purchasing the facility two years ago, it was necessary for them to rebuild the business, refresh the inventory, and hire all new employeesin an effort to replicate the Vermont location. “We wanted to have a top-notch facility that did a good business, where we had top-level employees, sold a good product with a good warranty, and had good relationships with our customers,” Brown explained. Brown knew from experience what a dramatically beneficial change his Vermont business location underwent when that store became a Team PRP partner in 2012. With its almost immediate substantial increase in business, he was keenly aware of the need for the Massachusetts store to be properly prepared to handle the similar demand. “Itʼs exciting to finally have a Team PRP facility that can serve the huge market in Boston,” stated Ron Wilbert, Director of Membership for Team PRPʼs northeast region. “I know John [J.C. Cahill] would have liked to have joined months ago, but he and Mark Brown made a smart decision to wait and adequately prepare, ensuring that they were totally equipped to assimilate into Team PRP.” Cahill, who serves as the general manager at their Massachusetts location, has an extensive background in the auto parts recycling business, having worked in that industry since his teens. Cahill is particularly enthusiastic about partnering with Team PRP, and that energy overflows to all of his staff. They recognize and appreciate that their Team PRP alliance will assist them in becoming a prominent supplier of recycled parts in the Boston area, and better enable them to provide the highest level of customer satisfaction.ABOUT TEAM PRP Team PRP is the largest national network of independent auto recyclers united in supplying premium recycled parts, exceptional warranties, and personal service to the mechanical repair and collision industries.
