Tips before selling your wrecked car to local auto wreckers
Selling your salvaged cars to an auto wrecker or recycler can possibly bring you more bucks than expected. Just remember these tips before going to an auto wrecker near you and you’ll be steering in the clear.
When negotiating, inform the auto wrecker whether it still runs, what parts are damaged, and what parts are salvageable.
Go through your car once more and make sure to remove your personal items, insurance papers and registration information.
A good car wrecker will pay you before picking up your vehicle for dismantling.
You may also want to consider removing some parts you think you’ll reuse in your next car like stereo systems and batteries.
Cancel any insurance you had on it.
Lastly, the towing costs should be included in the auto wrecker’s quote. Don’t double up and pay the towing trucks if they ask for fees (unless these were excluded at the beginning).
Browse our listings to request quotes. Armed with these tips find an auto wrecker who can give you the best price for you preloved car.
