Salvage Car Philadelphia
A salvage car is generally one that can not profitably be repaired and resold. Also commonly called a junk car, millions of vehicles leave America's roadways every year, and are dealt with in a surprisingly diverse number of ways.
Most salvage cars are broken apart and end up in two places; the steel ends up being sold to a metal recycling plant, and the rest ends up in a landfill. While not the most environmentally responsible tactic, it is the cheapest way to deal with salvage cars.
Most people are surprised to learn that almost half of all salvage cars are donated to charity. It's also a little known fact that virtually all of those cars end up in the same two places; steel recyclers or repaired and given to needy families. Almost every local and national charity that raises funds through car donations have contracts with traditional car salvage businesses to remove, repair or dispose of donated cars.
Some popular older models, and newer cars totaled in an accident, end up on the used car parts market. There is a great deal more labor involved with breaking a salvage car down into its individual components, but when the value of those parts outweigh the costs, used parts dealers will take them on. More commonly, junk yards will buy cars that may have valuable used parts and let potential buyers search their yards and remove the parts themselves.
The most common fate for salvage cars is to be truly recycled. As with most environmental improvements, we are leading the way in disposing of cars in a "Green" way. Fluids from salvage cars are drained, steel is recycled, parts are resold, and even fabric is salvaged and reused. While most salvage companies cannot honestly call themselves auto recyclers, it is Cash For Junk Cars Philadelphia mission to be a leader in doing our part to save the planet for future generations.
