How to Prepare Your Junk Car to be Scrapped in Oakland, California

Before you take the cash offer and scrap your vehicle, you need to follow a few simple steps. The following applies specifically to scrapping vehicles in Oakland, California.

Transfer the Title

Just because the car is not being sold to a dealer or driver doesn’t mean you can ignore the title. In California, you need to sign over the car’s title within 5 days of selling the car.

Visit the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website for more information and to download the necessary forms.

Dig Out Your Personal Items

If your car has been sitting idle for a long period, there’s a good chance it’s full of personal effects that you have completely forgotten about. Cars are like second homes to many drivers. They spend hours driving to and from work, take long road trips, ferry their children to school, and maybe even drive throughout the night.

During all of this, cars accumulate money, gadgets, candy, clothes, and more. They fall in-between and underneath the seats, get lost in the back of the trunk, or find a home in the glove box and door compartments.

All these need to be gathered and sorted before you sell the car. Give it a thorough inspection, take whatever personal items you can find, and don’t leave anything valuable behind.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you should clean and vacuum every inch. It’s not a rental car going back to the shop, it’s a junker that will be scrapped- so it doesn’t need to be immaculate.

Remove Valuable Items

It’s not just your personal items that need to be removed. You should also think about extracting stereos, DVD players, GPS devices, dash cams, and anything else that you can remove.

Even the tires and trims can be removed. However, it’s worth noting that this may reduce the price you were offered and you shouldn’t remove these things after agreeing on a price.
