Morris Cohen began a scrap metal recycling shop in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1997. He began accepting cars as scrap metal when he realized that he could make more money selling car parts that were still viable.
The first automotive recycling business in Georgia, Pull-A-Part, began in 1998. The company has expanded since, and in 2013 purchased Texas-based U-Pull-It Auto Parts Inc. as its 25th location.
The business is still family owned and operated with Morris Cohen’s sons handling daily operations. As of 2022, the company has 25 locations in 12 states.
The company works closely with environmental management programs to provide an environmentally responsible way to manage scrap vehicles.
In January 2008, Pull-A-Part was recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for its participation in the EPA’s National Partnership for Environmental Priorities.
Pull-A-Part was the first facility to achieve the Indiana Clean Yard – Gold Level Award from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) in October 2009.
In August 2022, the company acquired U-Pull & Pay for an undisclosed amount. This will add 11 more locations to the Pull-A-Part family, brining the total number of locations to 36.
Pull-A-Part maintains a corporate office in Doraville, Georgia.
