Get Top Dollar for Your Scrap Car with McSteel Salvage & Cleanup
To most people, an old car or truck that no longer runs is just a piece of junk cluttering their yards, but at McSteel Salvage & Cleanup, we know that your scrap car is actually a hidden gem.
At McSteel, we understand the value and worth of scrap cars; that’s why we offer competitive prices for them. Below, we will outline four easy steps to follow once your car or truck reaches the end of its road. Keep reading to find out more!
Step 1: Assess Your Car
If your old beater is nearing its end, it’s time to evaluate its condition against repair costs and actual value. A qualified mechanic will be able to help you with this assessment. If repairs for your car or truck exceed the vehicle’s worth or safety is becoming a concern due to frequent breakdowns, it’s time to consider scrapping it.
Step 2: Cancel Your Insurance/ Registration and Surrender License Plates
Once you decide to part ways with your old vehicle, the next step is cancelling your insurance and registration and then surrendering your license plate. In Alberta, this process is pretty simple. Just contact your insurance provider for cancellation, and any nearby registry office will be able to assist with the registration and surrendering of your license plates.
Step 3: Remove All Your Personal Belongings
Before handing your scrap car over to McSteel Salvage & Cleanup, be sure to remove all of your personal belongings. Also, consider removing valuable components like stereos, batteries, catalytic converters, and tires for resale.
Additionally, draining the fluids from your vehicle not only speeds up the scrap metal recycling process but can also increase the value of your scrap car, as it lets our team process the vehicle faster.
Step 4: Bring Your Car to McSteel Salvage & Cleanup
Finally, your vehicle can find its final destination at McSteel’s Wainwright or High Prairie scrap metal yards. As a CAREC-certified AARDA member, we specialize in salvaging scrap metal from vehicles, equipment, and machinery in any condition. So whether that scrap car no longer runs or your old farm equipment is rusted from years in the dirt, McSteel will take it all!
