The Houston area is filled up with numerous cars that aren’t used anymore. With these cars becoming junk status,it is very important guarantee that a good amount of the cars arrive at the salvage yard or put in the possession of an automobile removal company.Simply because your auto doesn’t run anymore does not necessarily mean that you can’t earn money from it. A junk cars merely that, junk, therefore it does you no good by leaving it at your house . or work.

The smartest course of action would be to get money from the automobile. Trading it in as a down payment for an additional car is not recommended because you’re going to get pennies on the dollar for the vehicle. You will make better money by selling your car or truck to car removal companies. There are some things to be familiar with, when you’re working with auto removal companies:

Pay-They need to pay out a premium price for your vehicle whatever the state it’s in. This involves the buyer to do thorough research on the car prior to making an offer. The offer they provide you with on the phone ought to be the price they pay you. Car removal companies must also not charge you for removal.

Safe Removal: you may still find toxic chemicals which are left in your automobile like mercury and lead. These must be removed by the car removal company in a eco-friendly manner.

Thoroughness-they need to be quick in coming out to pick up your car or truck.

Selling your old junk car isa terrific way to earn a little extra money for whatever needs may arise

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a major tragedy! This is going to affect wildlife for years to come. Our wetland and wildlife will be destroyed. Oil precises will increase in turn the price of gas will also increase.

11 people that were working on the platform are still missing and assumed dead. My condolences go out to the families of these missing workers. My family is praying for your family.

Now I know a way we can decrease or dependence on crude oil. Every time we purchase a vehicle all of the fluids are drained and sent out to be recycled. Well you too can do this every time you have your oil changed. If you go to a shop to get it changed make sure that they recycle the waste oil. Sum shops just send it out to be disposed of, make sure this is not the case.

Also make sure that you insist that the shop use recycled oil in your vehicle. This will drop our dependence on new crude thus less oil in the long run that we have to pump out of the earth. I don’t know the exact number of barrels a year this would save us but I would imagine that it is high.

Recycle your oil from your vehicle!!

I get a lot of calls from property owners with an old junk car that was left on their property from a tenant.  I always advise the property owners the same thing. You have to do a certificate of authority also known as a COA. These are very easy to do and allows you to legally dispose of a vehicle, that is abandoned on your property. Once a COA is done the vehicle can never be put back on the road it is marked as salvage. This is a legal way of obtaining the authority to dispose of the vehicle. Once you COA comes in from the state we can accept this in place of a title.

I have heard that a few people have placed a small claim civil suite on the former residents that abandoned a vehicle on their property and the civil judge has issued or judged that the owner of the property has rights to this vehicle but I myself have never experienced this.

I can remove these without you going through any of this but I will have to removed the vehicle and place it into a state approved storage lot. If  I do this I can not pay anything for the vehicle. The storage lot simply pays my company for a tow. We are not able to retain the vehicle once it is placed in storage. By state law it must be auctioned off.

It’s time to get your vehicle ready for summer time. We wrote a little article on getting your vehicle ready for winter so we figured that we would write on for summer also.

Summer time can be real hard on your vehicle down here in South Texas. We have temperatures over 100 degrees sometimes. These days are really bad on your vehicle!!. But you as a vehicle owner can help prevent any damage to your vehicle.

Summer time maintenance should include a motor flush and an antifreeze change. You can buy a kit to do this at your local auto parts shop. Remember that antifreeze is very bad on the environment and is deadly if consumed by and kids or animals!! Make sure to properly dispose of your used antifreeze properly. Most auto parts stores will gladly dispose of  your used antifreeze usually free of charge.

Also it is time for an oil change and engine flush. Once again you can buy all of the things you need at your local auto parts dealer. However I would recommend that you take your vehicle into your local oil change shop. This can get messy and the shop is equipped to deal with oily messes.

At this time you need to also change you air-filter. A clogged up air-filter can dramatically decrease your gas mileage. So make sure to change it with every oil change.

I would also recommend you to rotate your tires and check them for un-normal wear. Take your vehicle to your local front end alignment shop and have the alignment checked. Remember to check your tire pressure. Low tire pressure can also lower your fuel millage.

In closing this article I would like to say that if you have any questions please feel free to call us. We are here to help you.

Recently I have had a few complaints on a couple of companies that operate online. I have had more then a few of my local customers. Normally we hear a few complaints about other junk car buyers, but we have heard a lot about this scam going around.

Here is whats going on a person wanting to sell their car uses a search engine to find a car buyer. They then contact one of the results in the search engine.  The company gives them an estimate  on what they are willing to pay for the vehicle. (Usually more then what any salvage company is willing to pay). If the person accepts the offer the buyer then sends you an envelope containing a few pieces of paperwork for you to sign and return. This is all fine but the problem with this is that you have to return the title to your vehicle with the paperwork. The paperwork that you signs is paperwork that you are giving up all rights to your vehicle.

The companies tell you not to worry we are sending a wrecker to pick up your vehicle. The thing is the wrecker does not have the payment for the vehicle. The company says that they are going to send you a payment for the vehicle in the mail. Well at the point of sending and signing the paperwork then returning it in the mail this whole thing becomes a civil issue not a criminal issue. The only way to get your money is to sue the company in court. Whats real odd is they will not send a wrecker until they receive your paperwork, then why can’t the wrecker at lest bring the customer a check?

I will not name any of the companies names due to legal issues. My legal team says that it is not allowed.

Keep in mind we at Houston Junkcar Buyers will pay you on the spot at the time that we pick up your vehicle. Call us at 713-592-2576 to get a free estimate or to arrange free pickup.

When you think of freezing weather in our area the first thing we think about is getting our pets in and warping our water pipes. Very few people think about their vehicle. Yes your vehicle needs to be prepared for cold or freezing weather also!! I will go through the steps that every vehicle owner needs to go through to make sure their vehicle will make it.

First and most important is your radiator. Your vehicle’s radiator it the cooling system for your vehicles motor. The liquid you put in your radiator protects your radiator from freezing. This liquid is called antifreeze. Antifreeze prevents your radiator from freezing in cold weather. Antifreeze does go bad over time. You can purchase a tester at your local auto parts store. This tester will tell you if you antifreeze is still good. If it isn’t you can drain out your antifreeze by the drain plug on your radiator. Then just add new antifreeze.

Make sure that you don’t spill antifreeze on the ground, this can kill dogs, cats and even kids if they get into it. Dogs and cats drink the antifreeze because it taste and smells sweet to them. Kids also think it taste sweet so be VERY CAREFUL IF YOU SPILL ANTIFREEZE. You can take your used antifreeze to your local auto parts store and they will recycle it for free, especially if you purchase your antifreeze from them.

Let’s look at your motor oil for a second. Your motor oil is the life blood of your motor. If you are behind on your oil change now would be a great time to get it changed, in fact have them check your radiator fluid also!! When it is cold your oil thickens if your oil is old and is breaking down then you can destroy your motor, especially in this cold weather.

Here is the best way to explain it. Pancake syrup gets real think the colder it gets, if you heat it up it thins out. Same exact thing for your motor oil. This brings up a good point, When it is cold allow your motor to warn up for about ten minutes before you drive your vehicle. This will allow your engine to warm up to operating temperature along with your antifreeze and oil.

Let’s talk about that frozen windshield for a second. A great rule of thumb is to start your vehicle turn your defrost on and let the defrost do its job. Once your defrost has melted the ice on your windshield you know that your motor has warmed up. But make sure you give your vehicle at lest ten minutes to warn up. This is a must for your vehicle!!

I know this was a lengthy post but I hope that you found it very helpful. Please comment if you found this helpful. Also remember we will purchase your wrecked or junk vehicle from you. Call us at 713-592-2576

Have your vehicle removed to a mechanic and let him change all of the fluids. Don’t wait to long for this. If you wait to long the water can permanently damage your transmission.
