How To Choose The Best Scrap Car Dealer?

Trying to dispose off your scrap car and its various spare parts can become very difficult and un remunerative too if you do not deal with an honest scrap dealer. People often end up getting cheated while disposing off scrap vehicles. When it comes to selling scrap you find many dealers out there ready to buy your spares. But which one is the best among all? How does one decide on the same and on what factors do you base your decision to choose a scrap dealer as the best? Let us go into these details in this article about scrap cars.

First and the foremost thing while short listing a scrap dealer is to confirm whether he deals with the make and type of car that exists with you. There may be dealers who may not be dealing with high end models or certain old cars. Also, have a check on the reputation and the experience of the company dealing with scrap cars. Any company that has been in this business for a long time of about 10 years or so is good enough to consider. The older they are in the industry, the better would be their reputation.

Secondly, since this is ultimately scrap and some of the parts may not be bio-degradable it is better to check if the scrap car dealer uses approved environment-friendly recycling methods. It will be far better to choose a dealer who is certified, registered and duly covered under the Environment Protection Act of 1990.

Confirm that the scrap car dealer offers the best rate in compliance with the true value of your car and is able to assess its correct value. It is better to deal with companies that also consider End of Life Vehicles valuation and certification so that they come up with a profitable value for your car and can assess the exact performance of the car.

If you are looking at some real profit from your scrap car and its spare parts then it is better to get quotations for your car, on the basis its actual condition, from 2 or 3 different scrap yard companies and choose the best one based the highest quotations, while at the same time keeping in mind the other considerations. Have a fair idea about the ongoing market rates for scrap iron, aluminum, copper, rubber, plastics, alloys etc so that when the dealer comes with a quote you would be able to say if he is fair or is cheating you.

Last, but not the least, comes the pick-up charges. A quality professional company may not charge you for the pick-up of your scrap car. At the most you may have to pay only the fuel cost involved for the to and fro drive for the company and this depends on the distance from your home to their yard.

Look at companies that are into exporting of the various spare parts and scrap as this might yield more profit for your cars.
