We treat our customers right by having quality parts in stock, at the right price.

“Our customers know they get quality parts from us,

that’s how we have earned their loyalty,” Baird stress- es. It’s an unconventional approach to quality control, but it’s worked for Baird’s Auto Parts for more than five decades.

Participate in ARA

Baird is proud to say they have been active in ARA “forever.” He considers the trade association his direct connection to information about important changes, developments and industry-related legislation. He is equally proud to watch Travis, a third-generation auto recycler, embrace ARA and all the benefits it has to offer. “It was Travis who pushed us over the last five years to get the ARA certifications,” Baird says. Through Travis’ leadership and determination, they achieved CAR and Gold Seal designation. “Certifications are more impor- tant than ever to set us apart in the marketplace, and we are glad Travis pushed for it.”

The Baird family name is balanced securely on a rep- utation for treating people with respect and operating with integrity. Whether it’s on the stock car circuit or in the automotive recycling business, the Baird fam- ily has proven they know what it takes to win. Lynn Novelli is a freelance writer based in Ohio.
