How to buy or sell car parts to a junkyard 

How to buy or sell car parts to a junkyard


When it comes to auto wrecker service and selling or buying car parts to a junkyard there're several things that you need to know that'll make the transition easier and will provide you with more value at a better price.


First off let's be aware of what our wrecker service is. An auto wrecker is someone who is licensed by the state to buy dismantle and resell cars for parts.


If you are looking to sell a vehicle for parts to an auto wrecker. Here are several things to consider Number one when negotiating with the auto wrecker. You want to have all your information you want to know whether not the car runs what parts are damaged and what parts can be sold.


Number two you go through the vehicle and remove any personal items this includes registration and insurance information. Even if your vehicle is been sitting for a long time it is worth taking one last look through to make sure everything has been removed.


If you are mechanically inclined yourself you might want to consider removing some of the valuable parts that you can salvage and sell on your own for a higher profit before the cars taken away. Some examples of parts that you could remove are, the stereo if the batteries new that would be a good part to remove, tires that are new expensive rims all of these items that can be easily removed and resold for a high profit.


Most important don’t forget to cancel the insurance.


Another important thing to remember is never sign over a car meaning your rights to the car until you have been properly paid, some less than reputable auto wreckers will offer you a high price until they get the signed title and then they’ll try to lowball you.


Finally, the tow truck cost should be included in the price of towing the vehicle out and the price should come out of the amount the auto wrecker is paying you. You should not have to pay them to tow away a vehicle.


Now if you're looking to buy parts from an auto wrecker you have two basic kinds Number one is a Full-service auto wrecker service they will have an inventory of the parts that are available and they'll strip them out for you and they will be ready to be installed when they give them to you.


The second type of auto wreckers is do-it-yourself types. These are also known as Junkyards. A junkyard will charge you a fee. And you will have to remove the part yourself.


The key with both of the types of junkyards is buyer beware they don’t offer a guarantee on these parts and you basically get what you pay for so always make sure you do your due diligence when it comes to parts.
