Choosing the Right Car Wreckers to Get the Best Price for Your Old and Dead Car
Imagine a situation when all the old and dead cars from the 1900s were left lying about the countryside and in the backyards of homes. The world would be a crowded place, to put it mildly. Thankfully cars, too, are recycled. Car wrecking is a flourishing industry all over the world as cars damaged in accidents and old and unserviceable cars are taken in by such wreckers and processed for recycling while the soul of the car goes to car Valhalla.

Car wrecker types
Car wrecking can be handled in different ways. Some wrecking companies simply dismantle the car or crush it and sell all the junk in bulk. Then there are car wreckers that dismantle the car and remove spares and accessories that they resell in the used car market. Car wreckers have turned out to be a rich source for old parts, especially for vintage cars. If you cannot find parts for old cars in regular stores, the wrecking yard is your best bet. Be that as it may, there comes a time in your life when your car, whether damaged beyond repairs in an accident or because it has passed its useful life, must go to the wrecker. Apart from complying with regulations, it is also necessary to comply with environmental laws when scrapping a car and established wreckers take care of everything.
Choosing the wrecking company
Wrecking companies operate in different ways. Some simply set up shop and take in cars brought to them by intended sellers. They carry out an on-the-spot inspection and make a spot offer, usually paid in cash if the seller agrees. They may or may not handle paperwork associated with disposal of an unserviceable car. When you deal with these carry-in car wreckers it is necessary for you to tow your dead car to their yard, have it estimated and then accept whatever they offer or tow your car back. Some may even offer the service of visiting your house to assess the car, but a charge may be associated with such visit.
Be careful, there are people who claim to be car wreckers, but they are simply agents who get the car at bargain prices and have someone else dismantle and dispose of the scrap. One must also be careful of so-called wreckers who buy the car, make it serviceable again and sell it, in which case you, as the owner, would be legally liable should that car be involved in accidents or violate traffic laws. Some wreckers will only take in junk cars or deregistered cars or damaged cars.

A better option is to pick an online wrecking company in your vicinity. Here, again, one must be careful. Some will offer an absurdly low price based on the model and condition you specify. Some will charge you for a visit to estimate the cost and also towing costs to take the car away. Then there are a few wreckers that will depute someone with a tow truck to where the junk car is lying, make an assessment and offer and, if it is accepted, pay and tow the vehicle to their yard. The representative will complete paperwork before taking delivery of the dead junk car. Wreckers who dismantle the car and sell spares will naturally offer a higher and better price for your used/old/unserviceable/junk car. They are the ones to prefer. Contact them and they take care of the entire process, leaving you with money for the car you no longer need.
