never suggest that the car owner dismantle the car and try to sell the parts or any useful from scrap, they never get the valuable price as comparison to the wreckers. Because of several reasons, they cannot get the right buyers, because 80% goes to the scrap metal. To selling Scrap metal is not easy, it’s always sell on high scale because the companies deals in scrap metal always deals tons. Simple the reason is that we deals from customers by purchasing their car, trucks, vans by one to one and selling to the scrap recyclers companies in wholesale, then only we get the cost that we paid. That’s why a wrecker can offer top prices because they know the value of your scrap cars.
