Got a pressing question to ask about scrapping a car?
Read on and you might just find the answer:
Will I Get Paid for Scrapping My Car?
Believe it or not, yes, you will! Gone are the days of having to pay for someone to take your scrap car off your hands knowing full well that they’re going to make a fair amount of profit from it in the first place. Instead, you will now be paid a fair price in accordance with the car in question and its condition – you’ll never end up out of pocket.
Will I Get the Best Price?
You will indeed – any decent car scrapping company will offer a rock-solid guarantee of the best possible price, which means that if you shop around and find some company willing to pay more, they’ll match it. Again, what you’ll take home depends on the car and its condition, but chances are you’ll be more than happy with the price offered.
How Do I Arrange Transport to the Yard?
Quite simply, you don’t! This is another thing that the scrap dealer has taken over on behalf of the car’s owner, which means that there’s nothing more to do than make a quick phone call. The scrapping service will arrange a time, date and location that’s convenient for the owner of the car and can even in some cases collect on the very same day. It’s really never been more convenient to get rid of an old banger and make a tidy penny or two.
Why Should I Bother Scrapping?
As for the subject of why you should go about scrapping an old car, the first reason is that of pure convenience. It takes no more than a single phone call to set the wheels in motion and see any old hunk of junk taken off your hands without you having to lift a finger. And in terms of an alternative to selling, there’s no fee to pay, no effort to be made advertising the thing and no chance of a negative outcome. All of this comes with the joy of knowing that at least 80% of your car will be recycled and once again put to use as something new.
What Happens to My Car?
The car will be recycled to the highest possible extent – a solid 80% of it going back into the steel life-cycle once again. Pretty much everything you’ll come across in everyday life that’s made of steel is at least partially recycled, so there’s a very good chance you and your car will cross paths again!
And How About the Legal Stuff?
If it’s necessary to declare your car as scrapped with the DVLA or go through any other administrative processes, a good scrapping service will take control of the process for you. So as mentioned more than once above, the only real effort that has to be made on the part of the car’s owner is that simple phone call to make the necessary pickup arrangements.
