Scrap Car Removal
Scrap Car For Cash For A Crash Rescue!
People often blame their bad luck when their cars get into an accident or a mishap and are damaged beyond repair. Dont get me wrong, this is indeed a time for being sad, but contrary to your belief, the only way out is not getting it flattened in the junk yard and sell the resultant metal for a paltry sum at the scrap yard; a better and a more profitable way than this is to scrap your car for cash. It gives you more money that what youd get for the scrap metal of the car at a scrap yard and it will give you more value out of your damaged car.
If you want to scrap car for cash, you can do it in a number of ways. One of them is to scrap the car yourself and then sell the spare parts yourself to some salvage yards or scrap yards. For this you havre to first drain all the fluids of the car, make it dry and safe for scrapping (the fluids of the car are dangerous if brought in contact with humans). Make sure you remove hazardous stuff like batteries from the car as old batteries leak fluids which can be really dangerous to you when you scrap the car. Then remove all the parts of the car, one by one, starting by the lighter parts first. Be careful so as not to damage the parts as that will hamper the chances of you selling them in the market or at the yard. This is the do-it-yourself way and a quite primitive one at that. It requires a lot of time and hard work and one that is not easy to come by in todays day and age.
A better way to scrap your car and earn money out of it is to get it scrapped by a scrap yard. You might groan at the prospect of towing your car all the way to the yard but relax, all this and more is now taken care of by the salvage yards and scrapping a car is now as easy a process as any (which requires pressing a few buttons). All you have to do is to find a suitable salvage yard on the internet. This is easy as mostly all big yards have their websites now on the internet and which have everything specified there for the customer. Chose the one which is suitable to your needs and then fill the form present there regarding details about your car. You will almost get an instant call back from the yard regarding the scrapping of your car. You can negotiate on the phone or call them over for negotiations the prices youd want for your car. If they are successful, they will tow the car away after paying you. These yards also help you with the legal formalities associated with the process and provide you with the all important destruction certificate after scrapping your car.
Destruction certificate is of the utmost importance as it is now mandatory by law to dispose your vehicle in accordance with the environmental guidelines. To make sure that your yard does all this, choose the one which has an authentic license number which will ensure their proper operations. This license number is generally clearly spelled out on the website.

ANSWER:
Here in the US, all you have to do is remove the plates and registration and inspection stickers, call the junkyard and tell them to come and get it. Make sure you transfer the title to the junkyard. Then turn in the plates and tell the DMV the vehicle was sent to "Scrap Heaven" and the title was signed over to the dismantlers.

QUESTION:
Tenant moved out, left car. It's been over a month and the city says it needs to go. What are my rights?
I've been subletting a room to this guy for a few months. Last month he moved out on the 10th. He has left behind his car saying he has no where to park it at his new place but he'd take it some time soon. It's now been over a month. If the car runs it barely runs, and is now becoming an oasis of mold and fungi. The city has informed me that the car is becoming an eye sore and a possible hazard and I have 4 days to do something with it or I will be fined for each day it stays past the deadline. Tomorrow (Dec 21) is the deadline.I've called him and left him messages but I've had no response. Apparently he did come by my house 2 days ago when I was not home and my friend who was here asked him about it but he was too intoxicated to comprehend what he was saying (seriously).
So what can I do? Could I call a scrap vehicle removal and get it taken away? I'm assuming he doesn't want it and has abandoned it.
PS. I live in British Columbia, Canada.
I was told to push it in to the street by a two people now but it's all locked up and I don't have a key. Also would the cops not ask me or the neighbours where the car came from?-
ANSWER:
Tow it. He complains... the authority insisted you take care of it (get rid of it).
However, I'm not too familiar with the laws up there, but... if the car isn't yours, and the police are complaining about it -- why aren't THEY doing something about it?
The car SHOULD be only the owner's responsibility... not yours.Him not having parking space is on him... he doesn't live there anymore... so you're done with him -- and his metal.

QUESTION:
scrap yard terms and charges.?
ok guys,I called this scrap yard about 10 days ago to come and fetch my car for scraps. They would not pay anything for my car and I wouldn't have to pay them anything. The removal date is 27/03/2008. Yesterday, I had a second thought so I call them to cancel the whole thing. Now they want to charge me a cancellation fee of £50 because it says in their terms and condition on their website" you must call us within 30 minutes should you wish to cancel this free service. Failure to do so will result in a £50 admin fee". What do you say guys?-
