People often think of an auto junkyard as just another dump - but present day auto salvage yards near my location are actually a form of recycling and easy on the environment. Most junk cars that end up in a junkyard are either sold at auctions or sold for scrap. In fact, junkyards provide steel and many other metals to the building and car industries, ensuring that the metals from a junked car continue to be used for other vital purposes and help save important natural resources, as well. In addition, the modern junkyard is regulated by federal and state laws that have strict guidelines on the draining and disposal of all fluids from junk cars, so the junkyard is no longer a threat to the ground water in the area.

A auto salvage company on the other hand buys salvage cars, fixes them and then sells them off. Question now is "What is a salvage car?" A salvage car is when the cost of repairs on a vehicle exceeds the actual worth of the vehicle. For instance, you have a car that is not working and you do not have the needed amount of money to fix it. You then decide to sell it off.



wrecking yard The first place you should consider is your local auto wreckers or junkyard. You never know what hidden gem you may find amid the rubble. Often people will dispose of a vehicle without realizing the potential worth in it. Many would rather not invest the time and money necessary for the restoration of classic cars. That alone is a great way to get them to unload their classic on you. There is a good chance you will find an old car at the junkyard that has been left there due to age or missing parts. If restoration is what you plan, this can be a goldmine.

Do not bid on a parcel that sits next to a junkyard; noise, dust, stench, environment waste, etc. will all be waiting for you if you win this gem! Good luck selling it!!!

Speak to an auto mechanic and ask for advice. The chances are that they will use a salvage yard. Ask them where they go. You have to take the time and effort to do the research. If you simply drive around you will not find what you want and at the end of the day you are probably going to come back empty handed.

My Dad was a steel mill electrician. I can still smell the steel mill on his clothes when I imagine him coming in the door while I was a child. I was an industrial electrician too for a time. I have been around this stuff enough. I don't have a hankering to hang 100 pounds of cast iron whatever on my wall.

Contact salvage yards. Some call them junk yards, while others call them salvage yards. Whatever you call them, they'll be one possible repository for your junk car. Explain to the yard operator what vehicle you have, its condition and answer his questions. You should be given an estimate of the car's worth. Write down that amount, but don't make a deal just yet.

But where would you find salvage motorcycles? The best places to look for salvage motorcycles are at your local junk yard, your local newspaper or auction sites. I personally recommend auction sites. Mainly, because the selection is so good. You can probably find anything that your looking for from a honda to a Suzuki to a Ducati. with so much of a selection it will probably be very easy to find exactly what you want.
