What to Do Before Selling Your Junk Car

It happens to the best of us. You’ve found yourself with a junk car in Chicago. Whether your vehicle no longer runs, or the damages are just too expensive to fix, it’s time to cut your losses and get rid of it. However, it’s easier said than done. Given the hassles involved in selling your car, you may not know where to begin. Thankfully, Aero Auto Repair has your back.

Remove Your Belongings

Don’t leave anything behind! Make sure you get everything out of your car before bringing it to the junkyard. Similar to houses, cars tend to accumulate things over time. If you’re anything like us, you probably don’t even remember all of the items you’ve been storing in there.

Have Your Title in Order

Above all else, the single most important item to have ready before the sale is your vehicle’s title. To transfer ownership to the junkyard, you must have a valid title to the care.

Remove the License Plates

Don’t forget to remove the license plates before your car is towed away. In fact, in many states, you can’t cancel your registration without returning your license plates to the department of motor vehicles.

Don’t Waste Your Gas

If your car is still in working condition, try to use up the last of your gas before handing it over. In some cases, the value of gasoline in your tank can represent a sizable portion of the price you’re getting for your junk car in Chicago.

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.
