How to Keep Your Vehicle Protected from the Elements

If you’re planning on parking a vehicle for any long period of time, especially indefinitely, make sure to take the time to protect it from the elements, whether parked indoor or outdoor. Doing this can help reduce additional loss of value. That way, if you decide to sell it later on, you’ve got something that could actually be worth some money.  

With the arrival of autumn upon us, we’ve composed this list of tips to help you make the best choices to protect your investment, whether it’s just a summer only driven car, or an older vehicle that you’re taking off the road.

When Parking Your Vehicle Long Term:

• Make sure to disconnect the vehicle’s battery and store it in a safe, dry place (preferably on a piece of wood)
• Cover your vehicle with a dust cover to protect against dust build-up when parking indoors, and a outdoor car cover when parking it outdoors.
• If you’re planning on leaving your vehicle parked outside, try to park it under a car tent or in a carport to protect it from inclement weather conditions. This helps preserve your vehicles paint job, and also protects against possible leaks.
• Do NOT set the parking brake. When the brake pads are pushed against the rotors for extended periods, they can seize up or fuse together.
• Get an oil change before parking it. If you decide not to sell your vehicle later on, you’ll want the engine to be properly lubricated upon start up (especially after sitting for a while)
• Make sure all your fluids are topped up, particularly the engine coolant
• Raise your windshield wipers so that they don’t start to stick to your windshield over time
• Fully inflate tires. They will lose air over time, but it’s better to start out with a fully inflated tire than one that’s already lower than the pressure it should be.

Taking even just some of these simple steps will help ensure that you are preserving the most value in any vehicle that you are planning to store for extended periods of time, even if it’s just a junk car, truck, SUV, or van.

Don’t Waste Time Parting Out Your Scrap Car

When you’ve put in a fair amount of time and effort to preserve your scrap vehicle, it can be extremely tempting to take the car apart and try to sell off the parts individually because it can essentially turn more of a profit than just scrapping your car for cash.

However, there’s a very good chance that you’ll spend more time sitting on the vehicle than you will get sales for the parts. Plus, you run the risk of damaging either the parts or other vital components of the vehicle when trying to get the parts you’re selling out.

Unless you are extremely well versed in the mechanics of your vehicle, we strongly recommend that you don’t part it out. Not only are there risks involved with removing parts that compromise the value of those parts, there are many chemicals that are within the engine and moving parts of your car that can easily harm the environment, animals (like our pets), and you.

By selling your junk car as a whole to a professional licensed scrap car buyer like us, you’re not only saving yourself the time and effort, you’re protecting the environment.

Vancouver Auto Wreckers

Are you looking for an auto wrecker or scrap yard in Vancouver, BC ? Everyday we work with a variety of scrap yards and junk yards that help us to recycle the vehicles that we scrap for our customers. But that’s not all they do.

Scrap yards are an important part of Vancouver’s economy with over 50 of them operating in the region. They process and recycle materials that can be used to make other products or sold as parts.

What Does an Auto Wrecker Do?

Auto wreckers are specialized auto recyclers who recycle scrap cars and trucks in a variety of forms. They do not recycle random metals or anything except automobiles, which is why many scrap car removal companies rely on them specifically.

Part of the auto wreckers job is to ensure that all of the harmful fluids, chemicals, and components of a scrap vehicle are recycled and disposed of in the safest way possible. This way, there is less toxic material that can be leaked into our ecosystem, and more of the cars and trucks that they scrap can be repurposed, reused, or recycled.

That’s why using a professional scrap car removal company like More Cash For Scrap is so important. You can scrap your car with independent scrappers, but there’s no guarantee that they are breaking down the vehicle in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

What Does a Scrap Yard Do?

Scrap yards are a vital part of helping to keep British Columbia green and clean, just the way we like it. However, unlike an auto wrecker, scrap yards do much more than just recycle scrap cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans.

Scrap yards play an important role recycling cars, appliances, valuable plastics, electronics, and metals for reuse. It is much cheaper for companies to create products using scrap or salvaged materials then by using new ones. Scrap yards make it possible and help to facilitate this process and reduce the overall waste globally.

When you scrap your car privately, typically this is done at an auto wrecker or scrap yard. Unfortunately, they don’t offer as much cash for scrap cars as we do, and they do not provide towing services. The ones that do, charge for towing, which greatly reduces how much cash for your scrap car you can get in the end.

What is the Difference Between a Salvage Yard and a Scrap Yard?

While both of these places offer car recycling services, they do so in a very different manner. A scrap yard is where many various items can be recycled, broken down, or disposed of. However, a salvage yards intent is to make reusable parts available to the general public. Thus, preventing them from ending up in local landfills.

A salvage yard is an open space or building where you can view all of the various scrap pieces. They could be cars, electronics, or appliances. Some yards will allow you to bring your own tools and take what you need off of complete or semi-complete structures.

Places like this are favoured by many DIY mechanics because they can get cheap parts that are specific to the vehicle or appliance that they are working on.
