Have an Accident or Written off Vehicle? Learn How to Sell your Car to Wreckers
Bitterly, car accidents is part of vehicle life and can have serious consequences. If the car has been totaled though, you will also want to think about what to do with it. Repairing it will most likely be much too expensive to be worth it (especially if it is an older car) and simply keeping the totaled car is hardly an option either.
You may not know exactly what happens if your car is a total loss – or even exactly what that means. If you’ve never had to deal with it, you’re one of the lucky ones!
But – just in case it does come up someday (touch wood!) – here’s what a total loss means and what your options are.
What you can do is call for a car cash removal company. This type of company will help you in car salvage (for free!) and offer you a fair price for the remainder of your vehicle. This means that you can get rid yourself of the junk and receive some money, without having to suffer through the headache that is privately selling a damaged vehicle.
What To Do With A Damaged Car? What to Consider?
There are a few steps to choosing the right salvage company to buy your car. Here are a few important points to consider.
• Car brands purchased: Some salvage car companies purchase only specific car brands. Make sure your chosen business purchases your make and model.
- Scrap my Mercedes
- Wreck my Audi
- Junk my Toyota
- Wreck my Ford
- Salvage my Subaru
- Scrap my Volkswagen
- Junk my Volvo
- Wreck my BMW
- Salvage my Hyundai
• Vehicle valuation process: Does the company’s vehicle valuation process meet your needs and schedule? For example, at Car Collection, we offer online cash for cars assessment. This means no appointment is needed — we provide competitive purchase prices while you’re in the comfort of your own home.
• Car collection: Where is your vehicle currently located? Whether in a car park or private property, make sure your chosen car wrecking company is able to collect it. Car Collection works with a towing company to ensure we can access vehicles in any New Zealand location.
• Speed of payment: Consider the company’s payment process and how quickly you will receive money in your pocket after the sale.
• Customer service: Check your salvage company’s reputation and reviews to ensure you receive the smoothest, easiest car buying experience.
4 Things To Do Before Handing Your Car to a Wrecker
Before the date make sure that the following steps were taken:
- Make sure that your license plates are properly removed from the car
- Make sure that the team will have plenty of space to tow the car, as a blocked drive way and other junk may jeopardize the entire operation or at least cost valuable time
- Make sure to have your ID and proof of ownership with you or otherwise the deal will fall through on the day of the pickup. The chance of encountering stolen vehicles is simply too high for car removal companies.
- Ask the car collection company representatives about additional information regarding the next step. In some areas, proof of destruction may need to be sent to the corresponding authorities to rule out foul play.
The entire process of having your car removed professionally and most importantly free of cost with the chance for an additional payment is extremely easy. As the company of your choice will likely have vast experience in the field, hiccups are highly uncommon. Simply get in touch with our car removal team and feel free to ask as many questions as you wish to get more info.
