Team SMJC
Discover the faces behind Team SMJC. Meet our team of automotive experts dedicated to quality, integrity, and serving our community.
Tyler
General Manager
Leading our team since 2023, Tyler brings over a decade of auto recycling and technician experience. As a Certified NYS Vehicle Inspector with a clean commercial towing endorsement, he ensures every vehicle recovery is handled with expert technical knowledge and the highest safety standards.
“Safety is #1. Our safety practices include thorough vehicle inspections, secure hook-ups, and driving with caution. We use proper safety gear and equipment, follow legal regulations, and continually train. Also, ensure clear communication with the customers and prioritize their safety during vehicle pick-up and towing operations.”
Cassie
Vehicle Buying Manager
Promoting into her leadership role after a year of excellence, Cassie brings a lifetime of hands-on automotive experience to the team. A bilingual specialist, she ensures our Spanish-speaking customers receive seamless service. Her unique expertise spans from childhood projects with her father to managing complex acquisitions—including her most memorable buy: a demolition derby car.
“Hang on to all the happy memories from your car. Not the negatives. Customers always dwell on the bad things that happen. For example: “I got into an accident”. I always try to remind or bring up a positive experience they had.“
Mary
Vehicle Buyer
Joining the team in 2023 with four years of industry experience, Mary brings a strong background in local auto recycling and a lifelong career in customer service. As a bilingual specialist in Spanish and English, she provides seamless support to our diverse community. A true automotive enthusiast, Mary spends her free time personalizing her favorite ride—a Jeep Wrangler.
“Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions big or small. The car-selling process can be stressful and understanding the process makes it much easier.“
Dakota
Graphic Designer
A creative professional since 2020, Dakota joined the team in 2023 to spearhead our visual identity. From refining the SMJC brand to designing our eye-catching tow truck wraps, she brings a passion for high-impact design to every project.
“You can utilize the blog section of our website to answer all kinds of car-related questions (not just about selling your vehicle or auto recycling). It can be a very helpful resource and is constantly being updated with new content. “
Alfonso
Tow Truck Driver
A Rochester local originally from Puerto Rico, Alfonso joined SMJC in 2023 to fulfill a lifelong goal of professional towing. With a career-long background in the automotive industry, he prioritizes safety above all else. Alfonso provides essential bilingual support in both English and Spanish, ensuring every vehicle recovery is clear, safe, and professional.
“Clean your cars out! So many customers leave personal belongings in the vehicles that they will need later.”
Coleton
Tow Truck Driver
With eight years of experience specializing in accident recovery and roadside assistance, Coleton joined SMJC in 2024 as a veteran of the towing industry. Inspired by a family friend to pursue vehicle recovery, he combines deep technical expertise with strict safety standards. Coleton’s signature is his “service with a smile,” ensuring every customer experience is positive and professional.
“I always try to remind them that Sell My Junk Car is not the end of their vehicle as it will be recycled to the fullest extent. The parts live on in other vehicles!“
