Scrap Car Market in Ajax
Ajax sits in the middle of Durham Region's growing suburban corridor, and the local scrap car market benefits from competition between east-end Toronto yards and Durham-specific operators. Pickering, Whitby, and Oshawa yards all regularly serve Ajax, giving car owners more options than a single-yard town. The area's rapid residential growth means a large and consistent supply of aging vehicles entering the market each year.
