ARTI Announces New Program For ARA Member Auto Recyclers To Get Retired Vehicles

The Consumer Program: SHiFT Your Thinking For The Environment

Our world is more connected than ever before. Modern transportation has effectively made our world smaller and more accessible. However, these amazing transportation achievements are also a serious drag on our planet, even as we enter a new age of electrification. We may never be able to fully reverse the damage done in our lifetimes, but we can make changes to slow climate change by rethinking our transportation choices and how we retire our vehicles.

ARTI and SHiFT have partnered to bring consumer end-of-life vehicles to ARA Member Inventory! Find out below how to gain access of retired vehicles exclusively for ARA Members!

ARA and ARTI Announce SHiFT for the Future

Exclusive Opportunity for ARA Members To Get Access To Retired Vehicles

The Automotive Recycling Training Institute (ARTI) and ARA are excited to announce the launch of a new, nationwide Vehicle Retirement Initiative that will present new opportunities to purchase salvage at a discounted price for ARA members – with an even more discounted price for Certified Automotive Recycler (CAR) members.

SHiFT is similar to traditional vehicle donation programs but allows consumers, fleets and enterprises to take an active role in recycling their vehicles by choosing to have their vehicle recycled in an environmentally sound process by professional automotive recyclers – ARA members!  In turn, all the net proceeds of the program are returned to ARTI to invest in the future and growth of the industry.
