A car is like a house. It has the tendency of accumulating items over time. If you have owned the car for awhile, chances are, it may contain many personal items such as jewelry, perfumes, sports items, and even clothing and shoes. Comb through all the storage compartments including the trunk, under the seats and floor mats, above visors, and under the seats to ensure you do not leave behind any personal belongings.

Most importantly, do not forget to empty the glove box which most of the time stores important documents such as the car title and registration, along with other personal documents such as copies of your car insurance. You would not want these documents to land in the wrong hands.

Even when the car has retired from service, the license plates are still useful. You might need it on your next vehicle if your state allows for transfer of the plate from one vehicle to another. In some cases, your insurance policy might need you to remove the plates. Likewise, your DMV is also likely to ask for the plate when canceling the title. Whatever the case, do not surrender your junk car to a salvage yard in Chase, MI without removing the license plates.

If your car is still operational before selling it to a salvage company in Chase, MI, ensure you use up all the gasoline. If it has been sitting in your backyard for a while but with fuel in it, attempt to empty the fuel tank before junking the car. Some yards will not accept a vehicle with gas still in the tank.

If you have not yet received a quote from your chosen scrap salvage yard in Chase, MI, find out some of the valuable components that you can remove and sell separately. Note that once you get a quote, you must surrender the car in the condition you described.

However, you should remove valuable components before getting a quote because you should be able to make more money from the items shown below than what you could get when you sell the junk car intact with all the components. Now all of these aren't necessarily valuable, so best to ask an expert or decide for yourself based on the time it takes to remove each item from your vehicle versus the value you might receive in a separate sale.
