The only private community built exclusively for salvage yard owners. Talk shop, swap strategies, ask questions, and grow your business alongside the people who actually get it.
Most yard owners don't have anyone to talk to about the real stuff — pricing decisions, scrap market moves, hiring headaches, marketing questions, growth strategy.
Your competitors won't share. Your friends don't get it. And generic business groups have zero idea what it's like to run a salvage operation.
The Counter changes that. It's a private Slack community where yard owners come together to share what's working, ask real questions, and help each other grow. Plus, Todd and the JCS team are in there every day answering marketing questions and sharing what they're seeing across the industry.
Talk to people who know exactly what it's like to negotiate a tow, price a catalytic converter, and deal with a title issue — all before lunch.
Post a question and get real answers from people who've been in your shoes. No Googling, no guessing, no waiting for a consultant to call you back.
Scrap prices dropping? New regulation coming? Hear about it first from the people on the ground — not from a news article three days later.
The Counter is organized into focused channels so conversations stay useful. Jump into what's relevant, skip what's not.
The water cooler. Industry news, random questions, market chatter, and whatever's on your mind today.
Sourcing strategies, negotiation tips, fleet deals, and how to get more cars in the door for less money.
Scrap market updates, pricing strategies, metal prices, and how to stay profitable when the market shifts.
SEO, ads, social media, Google Maps, website optimization — everything related to getting more leads.
Towing, processing, inventory management, yard layout, equipment, and day-to-day operations.
Finding good drivers, training yard workers, managing payroll, and building a team that doesn't drive you crazy.
Selling parts, catalytic converter pricing, eBay strategies, and maximizing revenue per vehicle.
Share your wins — big month, new record, first page 1 ranking, new truck, whatever you're proud of. We celebrate here.
Direct access to Todd and the JCS team. Marketing questions, business strategy, or anything you want a second opinion on.
The Counter is a private, vetted community. Every member owns or operates a salvage yard. No tire kickers, no vendors, no noise.
Whether you're running a 1-person operation or managing a full team, this is your room.
If you're buying cars and want to buy more, smarter, and more profitably — you belong here.
Just starting out? Doing 50 cars a month? Doing 500? Everyone brings something to the table and learns something new.
The best communities are two-way streets. Come to learn, stay to share. We all rise together.
The Counter isn't just a peer group — it comes with direct access to the team that built Junk Car Medics into an Inc 5000 company.
Founder, Junk Car Medics · Inc 5000 #602
Todd built Junk Car Medics from scratch to 200K+ vehicles purchased and $2.3M in revenue with zero employees. He's in The Counter every day sharing what he's seeing, answering questions, and giving the same advice he'd give himself.
This isn't a "post and pray" Facebook group. When you ask a question in #ask-todd, you get a real answer from someone who's done it.
