Eugene has always had a fascination with scrap metal. Raised as a first-generation American in a large family with seven siblings, he always pushed himself to create a better path through hard work. That drive started small, loading scrap metal into the back of his pickup truck and collecting it from local repair shops around the Capital Region.

Over time he saw an opportunity within the world of scrap metal that no one else was offering. Instead of only dealing in loose scrap, he began purchasing entire vehicles and the valuable parts that came with them. His goal was simple: offer a fair, honest service to everyday people who needed to get rid of an old car or truck and walk away with cash.

That same honesty and work ethic are what built Capital Auto Recycling. From those humble beginnings, Eugene continues to focus on serving the Capital Region the right way, treating customers fairly, keeping the process straightforward, and helping people turn unwanted vehicles into something useful.
