At some point, we all have to make the painful decision to get rid of our car. Even if you only owned your vehicle for a few months, taking that step towards getting rid is challenging. There are some reasons why people should use a vehicle scrap service rather than selling their car. 

So, what are they? Have a look below.

The car is unfit for purpose

This first reason is one of the most common. If you have children, the last thing you want is to put their lives at risk. Even if it’s a short trip to school, if your car has been deemed unsafe after failing its MOT, you need to take fast action. 

Passing your car onto a scrap vehicle recycler that’s reputable, like ours, will leave you resting assured that your vehicle will be disposed of safely. 

Some people may choose unlicensed companies, however, this should always be avoided as you can put yourself at risk of legal consequences if the company fails to deliver on their service. 

A last-minute move abroad

Time is precious, and there’s a growing trend for moving abroad. Some people are choosing to teach in China, change careers in the warm bliss heat of Dubai, or retire in Spain. If you need to relocate quickly, you could try to sell your car, but the risk of this is that, by the time you’ve paid to repair damages and advertising costs, it might be easier and economical to use a car scrap service. Taking this step will allow you to spend more time on more important things like spending time with family and friends before you leave. 

Taking a healthy choice

Caring about the environment has never been so vital. Whether you’ve seen a newer, greener car, or you’ve decided to abandon using your car altogether because you want to get into shape, using a vehicle recycler might be the solution. Older generations of vehicles aren’t always fuel-efficient compared to hybrid or electric type cars. Letting a car recycler take your vehicle off your hands is stress-free. The best bit is that they will even collect and dispose of your car for you. 

Freeing up space

Millions of cars are left to rust and end up creating an eyesore. It’s both unpractical and can sometimes be unsafe, especially if your car has extensive damage.  If you have a car sitting in the drive space, this could be used for something else. Maybe you have children and would like to enlarge your garden for a children’s play area? 

If you’re trying to sell your car, this could have a knock-on effect on your property value.

A vehicle scrap service is a perfect option for those looking for a stress-free experience. So, whether you’ve got limited time and you are planning to escape to a new life in a different country, or you have decided to approach life in a healthier more environmentally friendly way, make sure you give us a call today.
