What Qualifies as a Junk Car?

Junk Cars Chicago

Junk cars are also called “salvage cars”. They are those vehicles that are so old or that are damaged badly enough that selling the car for its parts and using that money for a different vehicle would be more lucrative than spending money on repairs for the vehicle. Below are three of the things that may be wrong with your car that could qualify it as a junk or salvage vehicle.

Transmission

If you have an old car with transmission problems, you could be looking at a big repair or replacement ticket. It might be worth it to your pocketbook to salvage that old junk car for auto parts and put that money towards a better vehicle.

Motor

The most commonly reported car problems often deal with the engine. A number of things can go wrong with the motor, especially for older vehicles. You could be looking at costs of up to $4,000 depending on the engine in question. If your car is a beater, it may be worth it to you to get cash for the parts and consider a new one.

Head Gasket

Engine head gaskets stops coolant and oil from leaking out. When the gasket is blown, it can make the engine overheat or coolant to leak. If this happens, you’re probably going to be paying a pretty penny for repairs—well above $1,000 in many cases. If your car is experiencing issues time and time again, this might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

I got my windshield replaced recently and it took less than an hour. Then as I was driving home the rear view mirror fell off. It kept doing it so I rode back and they replaced it. No haggling or anything. With this kind of service I will keep coming back. I am a repeat customer as they do not dissapoint!

Decent prices on the parts you need. Honest and informative workers. Reasonable and efficient service. They’re also pretty well stocked and will likely have the part you need for just about any replacement or repair. If not, they’ll order it for you and usually have it in a day or so. Overall, no real complaints on my end. I’d recommend this place.
