ENNIS – In 2026, Ennis Auto & Truck Parts received one of the highest honors within the Texas automotive recycling industry when it was named Auto Recycler of the Year by the Texas Automotive Recyclers Association.
This recognition is especially meaningful because the award is not simply selected by a committee – it is nominated and voted on by fellow industry peers, making it a true reflection of the respect, admiration, and confidence Ennis Auto & Truck Parts has earned throughout the automotive recycling community.
Being recognized by those who understand the industry firsthand is an incredible honor. Automotive recycling takes dedication, innovation, persistence, strong leadership, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
For Ennis Auto & Truck Parts, this award represents nearly five decades of hard work, growth, family tradition, and service.
The company’s success is deeply rooted in the Ennis community, where the Roberts family has built not only a thriving business, but a lasting legacy.
From the company’s humble beginnings in a sharecropper’s house and tractor shed to its modern 23,000-square-foot facility, Ennis has remained home.
The relationships built within Ennis and Ellis County, along with the support of customers, employees, vendors, and industry partners, have played an important role in the company’s continued success.
This achievement would not have been possible without the tremendous hard work and dedication of Jay and Kathy Roberts, who took over the business in 1990 and helped transform it into the progressive and respected company it is today.
Their leadership, commitment, and willingness to continually improve laid the foundation for decades of growth.
That legacy continues through the next generation, with Connor and Jerol Roberts helping lead Ennis Auto & Truck Parts into the future.
Their commitment to innovation, operational excellence, customer service, and the continued advancement of the automotive recycling industry reflects the same values that have guided the family business from the beginning.
