Victory Auto Wreckers
Victory Auto Wreckers is an auto salvage yard in Bensenville, Illinois, near Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. It is well known in the Chicago area for its former television commercial, in which a young man struggles with a car door that has just detached from its hinges. The commercial aired with limited changes from 1985 to 2015, making it the subject of frequent discussion in the local media. The ''Chicago Sun-Times'' once described the advertisement as "an indelible commercial image known to almost any television viewer."〔Esther Cepeda. "Brains behind popular slogan - Memorable Victory Auto Wreckers commercial". ''Chicago Sun-Times''. October 1, 2007. 57.〕

Victory Auto Wreckers was founded in the 1940s by a pair of World War II veterans.〔Jeff Coen. "Junkyard is automobiles' last stop". ''Chicago Tribune''. July 16, 1997. Metro, 1.〕 The company was purchased by Kenneth Weisner in 1967 and is now owned by his son, Kyle.〔Azam Ahmed. " Kenneth Weisner: 1942 - 2007 - Owner of wrecking firm - He thought up TV spot that put Victory Auto Wreckers in public eye." ''Chicago Tribune''. September 30, 2007. 7.〕 Victory purchases wrecked or decommissioned vehicles and then allows customers to browse through their lots in search of workable parts. Any unusable parts are crushed and sold to scrap metal dealers. As of 2005, the facility was processing approximately 14,000 automobiles every year.〔Justin Kmitch. "Bensenville's loss means legal victory for business". ''The Daily Herald'' (Du Page County). July 20, 2005. 4.〕
In 2002, the Bensenville Community Development Commission threatened to close Victory Auto Wreckers within two years as part of a zoning ordinance prohibiting junkyards, incinerators and wrecking yards. However, appellate court judge Robert McLaren ruled that the facility should be considered a recycling center, allowing the business to remain in operation.〔
