There are numerous used vehicles in Montreal, and at Recyc-Auto, we’re constantly searching for vehicles—generally more than eight years old—to stock our auto recycling yard, which contains several hundred vehicles. Whether these old vehicles are in working condition or not, they can provide numerous benefits to our company, which will give them a second life before sending their frames to the scrapyard. Even if certain parts don’t work, they can still be recycled for their raw materials. So it’s not too late for you to get rid of your old car or old pickup. You can still benefit from it, even if some of the parts are missing or don’t work.

Scrapping pays off for everyone!

When you want to get rid of your used vehicle in Montreal, consider calling Recyc-Auto to find out how much we’ll give you for it. The price will vary according to the year and model of the vehicle, its general condition and whether or not it’s missing any parts. The most important ones are the engine, the transmission, the catalytic converter, the radiator and the battery, as well as the wheels and tires. Once we’ve reached an agreement, we’ll tow the vehicle to our scrapyard in Napierville, near Montreal. We can come get your vehicle no matter where you are in Quebec. Once your vehicle reaches our auto recycling center in Napierville, it will be decontaminated, and then all of the parts that are still in good condition will be resold to people who need them for their vehicles. On our website, there’s a listing of the vehicles we have in inventory. Once the usable parts have been removed, the scrap metal will be distributed to numerous subcontractors, who will recycle the raw materials. So scrapping your old vehicle no longer means that it will be crushed into a little ball of metal. Times have changed! Its life will go on. All of the ferrous and non-ferrous metals will be redistributed to specialized centers to be made into new auto parts or other items for everyday use. As for the tires, if they’re in good condition, they’ll be resold. Otherwise, Recyc-Auto will collect them to prevent them from piling up and creating a fire hazard.

Take part in vehicle recycling

Don’t think that your vehicle is ready for the junkyard just because it stops running. Auto recycling has become increasingly important to help prevent waste. In fact, 75 percent of your vehicle can currently be recycled. And soon, it will be possible to recycle even more of the materials. At Recyc-Auto, we’re always in search of new ways to innovate our auto recycling process. We encourage you to contact us if you’d like to sell us your vehicle, and please feel free to check out our inventory if you’d like to get used parts at a great price.

That’s it! Your old car is ready to give up the ghost. Rusty and in very poor working condition, it has seen better days. In short, your car is, as they say, ready for the scrap heap! Since it’s just wasting away in a corner of your yard anyway, why not try to get a little money out of it? With car recycling, you can get rid of your car quickly and easily, while getting paid for it. But how do scrapyards determine the vehicle’s value?

The raw materials from your old car

Even if your old car is ready for the scrap heap—maybe it won’t start anymore or maybe some of the parts are defective—it’s still of great value to car recycling companies. After all, the raw materials from the car are what these companies are most interested in. This means that your vehicle can be recycled for the raw materials it contains (steel, lead, aluminum, rubber, etc.) as long as it still has certain specific parts (the engine, transmission, catalytic converter, tires, wheels, radiator and battery), regardless of whether they work or not. So the value of your scrap car will depend on the number of missing parts. The fewer parts it’s missing, the better!

The price of scrap metal

Besides the number of parts your scrap car is missing, the current price of scrap metal also plays an important role in determining how much money you can make. Because metal in general is the primary material in an carmobile, the market price of that metal has a direct influence on the price you’ll get for your ride. Likewise, the total weight of your vehicle will affect its value. The weight is recorded on your registration and doesn’t change in relation to the condition of the vehicle.

While the price of scrap metal and the number of missing parts both influence how much you’ll get for your scrap car, there are a number of other factors that don’t necessarily have an impact. For example, the year and model of your vehicle don’t change its value, although a heavier model will pay more, of course. The general condition of your vehicle isn’t necessarily important either. A little rust or a few scratches and dents here and there won’t be taken into consideration since the body is going to be recycled rather than restored.
