As with all things in life, nothing lasts forever. Every car owner has or will find himself in the situation when your vehicle turns into a clunker. The car that served you well (or not) may no longer do its job and may not be worth fixing. You give it a sad glance of inevitability, and a conclusion slips off your tongue: “It’s ready to retire”.

In case you are still contemplating on a scrap car removal with a local car dealer or off Craigslist, think twice. If your vehicle is beyond salvageable condition, selling it would turn into an ongoing bargaining match that will both consume your time and nerves. It can even become a potential liability and bring you more headache.

How to scrap your car?

The optimal solution for this situation is saying “goodbye” to your old car and scrapping it to a salvage yard. It’s not as bad as it sounds, because in this case you might make some cash for your clunker and your old vehicle will get proper recycling and potentially give life to new cars. 

The downside of this process is that it can be very time consuming and require some mechanical skills on your behalf. Not only you will have to do some research on what parts to remove, what to sell and how to do it, but you might also have to do the work yourself, and if you’re not ready for a new hobby in your garage, you might want to reconsider. 

Don’t get discouraged just yet. There are services that can provide an efficient scrap car removal without any of the hustle above.
