FAQ:
Frequently Asked Questions about Junk Car Removal.
Q. What can I do with my old junker when it breaks down and is not
worth repairing? Call a free
scrap car hauler in your area.
Q. Will
it cost me anything? Junk
car removal is free in most major North American cities for complete
vehicles. If your vehicle is stripped of major parts, such as
the
engine or transmission, it may not qualify for free removal.
Q. Can I get cash for my old car even it isn't running or is unsafe?
In
port cities and major metropolitan areas, such as Toronto, Ottawa and
Vancouver in Canada, or San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco , Detroit
and New York in the USA, scrap car removers will pay cash for your old
vehicle in any condition, providing the price of scrap metal is high.
The price paid varies from $25 to $150 depending on the size
of
your car/truck and the city you are in and the price being paid by the
junk yard which buys scrap cars by the ton from the tow truck drivers.
Q. Can I get a tax receipt? Some
charities have started using junk car removal as a means of raising
money. A legitimate charity can offer you a tax receipt for
the
value of the vehicle (usually between $50 and $75) which you can then
write off against you taxes. Be sure you are dealing with a
recognizable charity.
Q. Can I donate my car to charity? Yes. Car donations
benefit a variety of charities. How do car
donations work?
Q. What
happens to my car after it is towed away? In 99% of
cases, your car is towed to a local metal recycling facility which will
drain the fluids, remove the tires, strip off non-ferrous metals such
as the radiator and other aluminum or copper parts and then crush or
shred the vehicle in preparation to ship it. In many cases
the metal is shipped overseas where it is used to build new vehicles,
electronics, etc.

FAQ
Continued...
Car
removal, recycling, disposal. How
does it work?
Across North America, tow truck and flat deck owner /
operators
will come to you and haul away your unwanted wreck from your yard or
driveway free of charge.
Why would they do this?
Cars are made of metal
and scrap
metal is bought by the ton at metal recycling salvage yards all over
the country. The amount paid by a crusher for for a junk car
is
not a lot, but it is enough to cover the time and diesel of the owner
operator.
How Long Does it Take? Most
scrap car haulers
will tow away your beater within 24 hours and often even the same day
that you call them.
What Happens to My Junk Car?
At the
wrecking yard,
the fluids are drained from the vehicle, the tires are removed, and
then it is crushed and shipped to a metal recycling plant.
