Why Selling Your Old Car to Car Wreckers is a Good Thing!

Do you have a badly damaged car? No longer working, or does it cost too much to fix your car? Then you have no choice but to scrap it. However, various parts of your vehicle can be sold to a car wrecker for a price. The car wrecker company will pull out all the parts without harming the environment. Not only do you earn some cash from your wrecked car, but you also avoid polluting the planet. Let's see what parts are bought from a car wrecker and what happens to them:

Complete car: you can drive your vehicle to the premises of a car wrecker, and he will give you a reasonable price for it. If it is in such a condition that it cannot be driven, the car wrecker will also provide towing services for the car. The car wrecker sells the intact parts and sells the body as scrap metal. Alternatively, you can extract the functional parts yourself and sell them on the used parts market. You can sell the rest of the car body afterwards.

Engine blocks: Engine blocks are made of aluminium with steel throughout. Car dismantlers buy the non-functional engine blocks and sell aluminium and steel as scrap.

Car batteries: Car batteries need to be replaced from time to time, even in working cars. Car batteries contain hazardous chemicals such as lead and sulfuric acid. Therefore, they should not be disposed of carelessly. The good news is that car batteries are easy to recycle. Discarded batteries are used to make new batteries. Most car battery manufacturers offer a reasonable price for old batteries.

Aluminium parts: Aluminum is used in relatively large quantities in the manufacture of a car. Aluminium wheels can be sold in combination with other aluminium parts at a reasonably high price. The aluminium is crushed and recycled for other uses.

Catalytic converters: these are high-value items in a car. This is because they contain platinum, palladium and rhodium. When you discard your vehicle and sell it to a car wrecker, you can remove the catalytic converter and sell it yourself. Therefore, we see that various parts of a discarded car can be profitably sold on the market. This is the only way to get something out of it. 

This also benefits the environment as the discarded parts will not remain in the valuable landfill. The hazardous chemicals are not released into the environment. Parts Locator is a magazine through which you can buy/sell used parts.
