Scrap car
questions.
What people ask before sending a junk or scrap car enquiry.
Do I need the title or registration?
Not to send an enquiry. Having the title or registration to hand makes everything afterwards faster, and the ownership documents that apply to your state and your vehicle are explained before anything is arranged. By submitting you confirm you are the legal owner.
What areas do you service?
SMASH works with recyclers across a wide service area in the United States, and coverage is not universal. Your ZIP code is what tells us which route is actually available where the car is, which is why the form asks for it first.
My car does not run. Is it still worth anything?
Usually, yes. Non-running, stuck and partly dismantled vehicles are routine, and flatbed collection handles them. Tell us the situation in the enquiry and it is taken into account rather than discovered on the day.
How is the price worked out?
From the current market price of scrap metal, the weight of the vehicle and whether anything on it is worth reselling as a part rather than shredding — engine, transmission, catalytic converter and so on. It is market data, not a number picked to win the enquiry.
How would I be paid?
By check, direct deposit, or electronic payment, once a collection has been arranged, completed and verified. A payment method is agreed with you in advance; an enquiry on its own is not a confirmed offer.
