If you have decided to do the right thing by scrapping and recycling your old car, you at least should ensure that you get the very best value for money. The simple fact of the matter is that when you are passing on any scrap car of any kind and in any manner whatsoever, you are handing a valuable that does indeed have value left in it.
Here at Take My Scrap Car, we are relentlessly committed to ensuring that our customers get the maximum possible value from their scrap vehicles. Which is why we offer the following guidelines for anyone looking to rid themselves of a scrap car in the near future, which when combined can help guarantee you don’t get short-changed: 
1 – Sellable?
First of all, it is of course always worth considering whether or not it might be possible to sell the vehicle on to another buyer. This will of course come down to the condition, age and general appeal of the car as a whole, but if it still has life left in it and is safe to drive, why not try selling it? One of the things we take great pride in here at Take My Scrap Car is offering our customers completely independent, impartial and honest advice on everything to do with getting rid of old cars. So if you would like a tip with regard to whether or not your car should be sold or scrapped, feel free to give us a call.
2 – Remove All Valuables
While the vast majority of bits and pieces that make up the average car can be recycled, there are also other things you should think about removing for your own benefit. For example, if the car you are thinking about scrapping has recently has four brand new tyres fitted, it might be in your best interests to think about swapping these for old, worn and generally useless tyres, in order to retain or sell-on the quality tyres. Likewise, anything like stereos, speaker systems and so on should be removed as these are the kinds of things that can always be sold for additional profit.
3 – Choose a Quality Scrapping Service
When it comes to choosing a car scrapping and recycling service, you need to ensure that you are dealing with a professional, reputable brand. The reason being that not only will this ensure that your car is processed and recycled in accordance with strict EU standards, but also that you are paid the best possible price for your vehicle. Any car, of any age and in any condition, Take My Scrap Car promises to pay you the best possible price in accordance with scrap values at the time. We simply guarantee you will not find a better deal elsewhere.
4 – Make Sure You Don’t Pay
Last but not least, never fall for the relatively common tactic whereby car scrapping services offer to pay any given price for end-of-life vehicles, only to then charge for every service they offer. They may appear to be offering a generous cash price, but by the time things like collection, haulage, scrapping and other fees have been taken into account, you might find yourself well and truly out of pocket. If the service package from start to finish isn’t free, it isn’t worth bothering with.
