Auto wrecking yards are businesses that buy cars and process them for the scrap metal. Auto wrecking yards also go by a few other names. Some refer to themselves as auto salvage yards, junk yards, auto wreckers, or auto recycling facilities. Some wrecking yards also sell used auto parts; many yards have their own tow trucks and do their own towing.
The first option to sell junk car is the traditional salvaging through a junkyard. We have all heard of this before and it seems like the only option available to us. These junkyards don’t pay you much money, but they do make money out of your car. They wait for people to come and claim any parts from the car you have sold them, or they use the scrap metal. So your 2007 buick is of use to them even though they don’t pay you anything for it.
Find your car title — Before you can scrap your car, you’ll need to find your car title. No salvage yard will take your car without one that you’ll sign over to them. If your title is missing, you’ll need to contact your DMV to issue a new one. Fill out the proper forms and pay the fee.
Before doing anything else, you need to know what scrap gold is. Strictly defined, it’s any gold that has been discarded and is suitable for reprocessing. Any leftover gold that can be smelted and reforged is scrap, such as bent, broken and tangled jewelry, casting gold, cluster rings, dental work, gold dust and flake, pins, brooches, sheet, solder, and even gold-plated chips and CPUs.
Here by age, I refer to the model of the car. If the model of your car is too old, then it will have low value but if it belongs to a recent model then it will certainly have high value. In addition, the current age of the car, right from manufacturing till today, also affects its resale value. The car dismantling companies usually check the number of kilometers run by the car to get an idea of its age.
First off, if you have a wholesaler’s license, and have an active account with merchants who do sell gold, silver and gold filled metal, wire and findings, then they usually have a way for their customers to send them their scrap for either a credit for future metal buys, or will give you a check, which will usually be for less than the credit you would receive if you took the credit.
