EvolvedAuto.com was started due to need for good quality VW and
Audi parts that are
kept dry and safe until they reach our customers hands. Phil Sweeney
decided it was
time to use his years of experience and knowledge in a effort to provide
quality parts
to all VW and Audi enthusiasts. Now working from a huge indoor warehouse
we have
a great selection of parts and cars coming in every other day. We would
like to offer
to you a great part at a fair price and at the same time make a customer
for the life of
the auto.

"Parts And Progress"
Evolved Auto Recyclers
not just a wrecker with 'cars draining into the ground'
"I'm on Broadway and don't see an auto wrecker." Before
they put up their brushed-
aluminum sign, Evolved Auto Recyclers owner Phil Sweeney and manager
Troy
Plexman recieved a lot of harried cell calls from used auto parts seekers
who coudn't
find their wrecking yard - despite driving past it several times.
"Yes, I'm at 1940 Broadway and there's no auto wreckers
here" Evolved Auto Wreckers
is not your typical auto wreckers - it's an indoor used-car grave-yard
where vehicles are
disassembled as quickly as they are recieved and then warehoused. "We're
a smaller
facility, so it helps to take apart the cars as they come in."
Plexman explained. "It's not
your usual auto wrecker that has a bunch of cars draining into the ground.
We're a
cement slab, there's no ground absorption here."
The auto recycler, which opened in February and supplies parts
for Volkswagen and
Audi vehicales, 1985 or newer, operates out of a 10,000-square foot
shop on Broadway
in Port Coquitlam. Since opening, Plexman figures they've stripped down
about 25 cars.
"It takes one person who knows what they're doing a solid day,"
he said.
In addition to aquiring cars fron ICBC, Plexman notes thath the
company also recieves
cars from the United States. (Instead of buying a tow truck, they decided
on a white
Hummer H1, which was cheaper, as durable and much more fun to drive
to work he
explains) When they recieve a car it is stripped like this: first the
interior parts, doors,
dashboard and trunk lids are taken off. Then, they drain the fuel, anti-freeze
and any
other fluids. The engine is then tagged and all other parts sorted and
stored.
So, explains Plexman, if a customer walks through the door and
asks for a left rear tail
light assembly for a 1991 Volkswagen Passat, he knows exactly where
to look. "We want
to sell Volkswagen and Audi used parts, make the structure easy for
us and the customer
and want to have a friendly and clean environment," explains Plexman.
And, Plexman adds, the company isn't just about used parts. "We
will also carry many
used cars and quality rebuilt autos. Specializing in VW and Audi autos
allows us to have
the items needed to rebuild a car with all the right parts and make
sure they all get
repaired or replaced with the original OEM parts that are of good quality.
