<h2>About Our Salvage Yard</h2>
<p>
For decades, our salvage yard in Tulsa served as a trusted destination for car enthusiasts,
mechanics, and DIYers alike. We provided affordable parts, helpful advice, and a friendly
place where people could find exactly what they needed to get back on the road.
</p>
<p>
Over the years, we became more than just a business; we were a community hub
where neighbors helped each other, local charities held fundraisers,
and families learned the basics of auto repair.
</p>
</section>
<!-- CLOSURE SECTION -->
<section id="closure" class="content-section">
<h2>Why Did We Close?</h2>
<p>
Our salvage yard’s closure can be attributed to the complications that arose
from the Tulsa annexation case, in which the city adjusted its boundaries
and zoning regulations. With new legal requirements, fees, and permits,
operating our yard became increasingly difficult and costly.
</p>
<p>
Despite our efforts to adapt to the changing regulations, the financial
strain and logistical hurdles ultimately led to the tough decision to
close our doors. It was a heartbreaking moment for everyone involved.
</p>
</section>
<!-- IMPACT SECTION -->
<section id="impact" class="content-section">
<h2>The Impact of the Tulsa Annexation</h2>
<p>
The Tulsa annexation reshaped the local business landscape. Adjusted
boundaries and newly imposed regulations meant a rise in taxes and
operational overhead, especially for businesses dependent on outdoor
space, like salvage yards.
</p>
<p>
While some operations survived by relocating or completely restructuring,
many small and family-owned businesses, including ours, felt the financial
burden acutely. The annexation case underscores how shifts in municipal
policy can significantly affect local commerce and community life.
</p>
</section>
<!-- LEGACY SECTION -->
<section id="legacy" class="content-section">
<h2>Our Salvage Yard’s Legacy</h2>
<p>
Although our salvage yard has closed, its spirit lives on in the memories
of loyal customers, local car clubs, and the countless families who relied
on us for affordable and accessible auto parts. The community we built
remains strong, and we hope that future projects or collaborations may
arise from these shared connections.
</p>
<p>
We appreciate every person who walked through our gate, bought a part,
shared a laugh, or attended one of our events. We invite you to keep
sharing your stories, photos, and the lessons you learned—so that our
passion for helping others continues to thrive.
