That Old Car Has Got to Go
You know that car sitting in your driveway or side yard? The one that hasn't run in years? The one you keep meaning to fix but never get around to? It's time to clear it out. Our junk car removal service in Calexico, CA takes care of old, unwanted vehicles so you can reclaim that space for something useful.
We handle all types of junk vehicles – cars, trucks, SUVs, vans. Running or not. With or without wheels. Complete or partially disassembled. If it's taking up space and you want it gone, we'll remove it. No hassle, no complicated paperwork, no need to worry about how to dispose of it properly.
Why Junk Car Removal Makes Sense
There are plenty of good reasons to get rid of that old vehicle:
- Reclaim space: That driveway spot or yard space could be used for something better.
- Avoid citations: Some neighborhoods have rules against inoperable vehicles on properties.
- Stop the leak risk: Old cars can leak fluids that contaminate soil and groundwater.
- Eliminate eyesores: Rusting vehicles don't do anything for your property's appearance.
- Get rid of liability: An old car attracts pests, kids playing around it, and other problems.
- Make some money: Even junk cars have value in metal and parts.
Keeping a car you'll never fix just doesn't make sense. It sits there deteriorating, taking up valuable space, and becoming more of a problem as time passes. Getting it removed is easier than you probably think.
How Junk Car Removal Works
The process is straightforward. You call us and describe the vehicle and where it's located. We'll ask some basic questions about the car's condition – does it roll? Are the wheels on it? Is it accessible with our truck? This helps us know what equipment to bring.
We'll schedule a time to come remove the vehicle. When we arrive, we'll inspect it quickly and handle the removal. If the car rolls and steers, we might be able to load it onto our truck. If not, we use our winch to pull it aboard. We handle all the physical work – you don't need to do anything.
You'll need to sign over the title so we can dispose of the vehicle legally. If you don't have the title, we can often still remove the car, though the process is slightly different. We'll explain everything when you call. Once we load up the vehicle, we're done. Your space is cleared and that old car is our problem, not yours.
Do Junk Cars Have Value?
Many junk cars do have some value, even if they don't run. The metal can be recycled. Some parts might still be usable. The value depends on the vehicle's make, model, year, condition, and current scrap metal prices. Larger vehicles generally have more scrap value than small cars.
In some cases, we can offer you cash for your junk vehicle. The amount varies – some cars are worth $100-200, others might bring more. We'll be honest about the value when you call. Even if a car has no cash value, we can still remove it as a service. Getting rid of a problem vehicle is worth something even if you don't get paid for it.
Where Junk Cars Go
After we remove your vehicle, it goes to a salvage yard or recycling facility. Useful parts get removed and sold to people repairing similar vehicles. Fluids are drained and disposed of properly. The remaining metal gets crushed and recycled. Nothing goes to waste – junk cars are actually valuable resources for recycling and parts recovery.
This proper disposal process is important for the environment. Cars contain oil, coolant, refrigerants, and other materials that shouldn't end up in landfills or contaminating soil. Professional salvage operations handle these materials according to environmental regulations. By using our towing and removal service, you ensure your old car is disposed of responsibly.
