About Us
Victory Auto Wreckers was established in 1945 in Bensenville, Illinois. As a family-owned business, we started with a simple mission: to help people dispose of their old, damaged, or unwanted vehicles in a way that was both environmentally friendly and beneficial to our community. We were the go-to auto recycler. Our focus on customer service and eco-friendly practices helped us build a strong reputation in the Chicago area.
One of the most memorable aspects of our journey has been our iconic television commercial that began airing in the early 1980s. Featuring a man whose car door falls off as he tries to open it, the ad humorously highlighted the need for a reliable junk car service. This commercial ran for decades with minimal changes, becoming a beloved piece of local culture and solidifying our presence in the public eye. Thanks to that memorable ad and our dedication to providing top-notch services, Victory Auto Wreckers was a trusted name in the auto recycling industry for nearly 80 years. Unfortuantely, we had to close our doors in December 2023.
