  • Be ready for the transaction

There are things to do before taking your car to the junkyard or even starting to contact these companies, among them is to have ready all the requirements that they will request you.

Regardless of the company that you end up hiring, they will ask for your identification, either your ID or driver’s license and the title of property of the car, as well as some personal information they will ask.

After that, you should get a local phone book or search on the internet for JunkYard companies that have the characteristics that best suit your needs, because not all of them offer the same services.

To do that you will need certain research skills, since possibly the prices offered for your car can vary a lot from one company to another so it is good to request several estimates.

Finally, you will need negotiation skills since depending on this you can get as much money as possible so if you are not good at negotiating, get a friend who is and can help you.

  • Contact JunkYard companies in your local area

Within the area of Los Angeles there are a lot of JunkYard companies and this number grows every day so the recommendation is to start by locating the companies nearest to you.

You can locate most of them in directories on the internet, where you can not only see a small description of them and the services they offer, but also where they are located and all the ways you can contact them.

You must discard one by one the companies that are very far from where you are and those one which do not offer the services that you require, since although they all buy junk cars, not all do it under the same conditions.

When you already have a list of JunkYard companies that you think you can hire, start contacting them and request an estimate, for this they will ask you for information about the vehicle such as brand, model, year, etc.

If it is possible, after they give you an estimate try to negotiate to get a little more money or better conditions such they’re going to pick up the car at your home at an specific time for example.

This is where it is important that you or the person on the phone have negotiation skills. After doing this process with each of the companies on your list, evaluate the offers and decide on the one you consider best.

  • Prepare the vehicle

After evaluating the options and choosing a company, come to an agreement with them about the conditions under which the transaction will be made, also remember to have all the requirements that they request to carry out the sale.

When you finish agreeing everything you need, prepare the vehicle to give it to the company, this means that you must do a small cleaning and remove all personal accessories or everything you don’t want to leave in the vehicle.

Once you have the car and the documentation ready, go to the company with it or wait for them to go and pick you up at your home according to how you previously agreed.

  • Sell the old car and verify the transfer

Whether the company’s staff appears at your door or if you have to drive with the vehicle to the company, you must wait for the workers to make a quick inspection of the car.

With this inspection they will verify that everything you said during the negotiation is correct so if you previously forget to comment something, this is the moment you should do it.

After the inspection of the vehicle and the personal documentation (identification and title of property of the car), they will provide you with the contract so that you can sign it and then give you the money agreed for the car.

Finally, after completing this process, you should go in the following days, to the transit department of Los Angeles to confirm that the transfer of property of the car has been made.

You must make sure that this is done because if you do not do it, you will still be the legal responsible for the vehicle and in consequence for any that happens  where the car is involved.
