Compare Reputations

Sit Back and Let Them Do all the Work

All the hard work is done on your part. The rest will be sorted out by the folk that work for the company that you have chosen to sell to. They will send someone over to your place to look at the vehicle properly. They will then be able to give you a final offer. This will come in handy when they pay you. If you like the offer they will then arrange for the vehicle to be hauled off back to their salvage yard. There they will take the car apart and look at all the parts. The ones that are still good for resale will be added to their used parts inventory for later selling.
