From there its all history. That young man went on to saving his money, and learning as much as he possibly could about used cars and recycling old cars. One day he decided "I'm going to help people avoid as many pitfalls with their car as I can." He got together with his brother and started a company in Portland, Oregon. They helped people sell their car fast, no matter what was wrong with it and no matter how old it was. They bought a car dolly and borrowed an old van from their dad to tow cars with. The company grew and grew from its very humble beginnings. People loved the service and word of mouth spread. The company began adding tow trucks, tow yards, mechanics, auto detail, etc.
These two young men are Joel Hahn and his younger brother Andrew Hahn. The operation grew so much that today they now run Junk Car Boys®, a national corporation that is one of the largest car buyers in the nation. They are very serious about their dedication to "Customer Service". They come from a "Customer Is Always Right" background so they continue to stick to that way of doing business.
Joel & Andrew are major jokers and love having a good time and creating a fun atmosphere. That's why the Junk Car Boys are like no other company. They do publicity stunts that are unheard of and take the company in a whole new direction than conventional business. They aim to get the public involved with the Junk Car Boys and make people laugh so they enjoy their experience.
“Selling your car to us is fun, and following our company is fun, because all of us that work here have fun and love what we do. For some crazy reason God continues to bless this company. Ha! I'm really not even smart!” Joel Hahn - Co Owner
The strange thing about the Junk Car Boys is that they aren't looking for the latest and greatest employee with a Masters degree. In fact, they search out people that no one else will hire. They find the guys that are about to end up on the streets. The ones that have made mistakes, but just need someone to give them a chance. The ex drug addicts, and alcoholics. The high school dropouts. "They may not have a whole lot of training or education...but they can learn right? Plus best of all, they are thankful for the opportunity. I love attitudes like that!" Joel Hahn
Its funny because we have many college graduates apply, but I don't think anyone works here yet with a college degree" says Joel, he thinks about it and then yells across the office...
“HEY ANDREW! Have you hired a guy with a college degree yet?" Five seconds later a reply is heard "UMMM NOPE!”
The Junk Car Boys are invading the USA and nobody understands how or why, but people seem to be ecstatic about them and their great caring service.
