Ever wondered what happens to your car after you sell it to a cash for cars service? At Top Cash for Cars, we ensure that every vehicle we buy is either recycled, salvaged, or repurposed responsibly. Instead of leaving it to rust away, your unwanted car gets a second life in a variety of ways. Here’s what happens after we tow your vehicle away.
1. Safe & Eco-Friendly Car Recycling
One of the most common routes for scrap cars is vehicle recycling. Old and damaged vehicles contain metals, plastics, and fluids that need to be handled properly. Once your car reaches our facility, we drain hazardous fluids like oil, coolant, and brake fluid to prevent environmental contamination. The remaining materials, like steel and aluminum, are crushed and recycled to be used in new car manufacturing or construction.
2. Reselling Usable Car Parts
Even if your car isn’t roadworthy anymore, many of its parts might still be in good condition. Our team carefully inspects the vehicle and removes reusable parts like:
✅ Engines & Transmissions – Often refurbished and resold
✅ Batteries – Can be recharged or recycled
✅ Tyres & Rims – Repurposed for other vehicles
✅ Doors, Windows & Mirrors – Used as spare parts
By salvaging and reselling parts, we help keep repair costs low for other vehicle owners while ensuring that usable components don’t go to waste.
3. Wrecking & Scrap Metal Processing
Once all usable parts are removed, the remaining car shell is sent for metal scrapping. Car bodies are made up of valuable materials like steel, aluminum, and copper, which are melted down and used to manufacture new products, including cars, appliances, and even construction materials.
4. Some Cars Are Restored & Resold
Not every car we buy is completely broken down. In some cases, vehicles that are still in decent condition can be refurbished and resold. If a car only needs minor repairs, it may be fixed up and put back on the market at an affordable price. This helps reduce waste and provides a second chance for cars that still have some life left in them.
