Vander Haag's began as the South Side Junkyard in Sanborn, Iowa in 1939. Under the vision of John C. Vander Haag Sr. what began primarily as a scrap iron and metal business, supporting the war effort, is now a recognized leader in serving the trucking industry. Helping our customers keep this country rolling!

Our primary focus has always been serving our customers. When your needs change, so do we! In the later years of the war new parts became more and more difficult to obtain, John Sr. saw the need to provide quality recycled salvaged parts. In 1955 John C. Vander Haag Jr. took over the business and after 20 years of success in the automotive salvage industry, he continued to build on the customer-focused foundation instilled by his father. John C. moved the company headquarters to Spencer, Iowa to help foster better service in providing truck parts and repair services.

Vander Haag which has enabled Vander Haag's to become a recognized leader nationwide in the Used Truck Sales, Parts, Service, and Equipment Industry today.
