There are only two ways of going about the process of selecting a car scrapping brand to take your old car off your hands. You can either select at random, or you can choose to be proactive – believe it or not, there’s in fact an important difference between the two.

Here at Take My Scrap Car, we are all about sharing as many crucial tips as we possibly can with the people of Norfolk and beyond. That is why even if you do not decide to do business with us, we are still happy to share a few pointers and tips in order to keep you on the right track. 

So, when the time finally comes to select a car scrapping provider, here is a quick look at 3 reasons why selecting at random is not the way to go:

It Could Be a Big Pain in the Backside
First up, it most likely goes without saying that you would like the whole process to be just as painless and simple as possible, right? Well, the trouble is that when you select at random, you stand a rather good chance of ending up with a business that turns the process into a veritable nightmare. Some providers claim they will come to you and then do not turn up, while others sit idly and wait for you to go to them. In other instances you may be expected to wait in the whole day – all quite common and possible when you make the wrong choice.

You May End Up Out of Pocket
Next up, it is all well and good to receive an offer for a great service package, but what if you are then expected to pay for this privilege? There will always be those clients who simply accept that they’re being ripped off and are willing to hand over their cars while ending up out of pocket. And even if the provider promises to pay you for the vehicle, there is always the chance the fees they will add on for taking the car away will be more than they planned to pay you. So when it is all said and done, you will be worse off for the deal.

You May End Up in Legal Trouble
Last up, there is a boring yet wholly necessary admin side to the process of scrapping a vehicle which you need to make sure you take care of. A decent car scrapping provider will ensure that the DVLA boxes are all ticked – on that is simply not bothered about the fines you will face might do nothing such. So, for your peace of mind and to avoid unnecessary fines, do not fall foul of a dodgy dealer.
