We all know that at some point it is time to call the salvage yard to request a car removal. That old used car had a lot of memories but you know it has to go especially when your transmission goes on your car. First it was the car brakes then now the transmission. Although your check engine light has been on it seems like forever that’s just one more car repair bill you do not want to deal with. Here are a few symptoms and signs you can use to decide when it is time to junk a car or make that call for a car removal.
One symptom and sign you should watch out for is how much money have you been spending on your car or truck within the past 3 months. As a former ASE certified Auto Tech. for over 25 years I have seen my fair share of old used cars ready for the salvage or junk yard rather than putting more money into the vehicles. You may have been even looking at the used car lots on your days off. That’s another sign you should recognize. Maybe its your conscious telling you it is time to call the wrecking yard or perhaps start looking to buy a new car. Or perhaps even possibly trying to get ahead and pawn your car off on a unsuspecting used car buyer. Sure the used car lots will offer you three thousand dollars for it but not before he jacks up the price of your new car for the same price!
Ok lets go over these Signs and Symptoms real quick because I have a few more for you before I run out of room here.
2. Check engine light On Forever
3. Scouting The Used Car Lots on your day off
4.Your Conscious Telling You Its Time
5.Thinking You Will Get Top Dollar For Your Used Car
More signs and symptoms for you when its time to get rid of your car or truck is when the local auto mechanics want to completely restore your braking system with a thousand dollar estimate. Or if you feel foolish by telling hem to go ahead and do it just because you have no idea what he is explaining to you. The last few pointers I want to give you on this signs and symptoms article is look for leaks of all colors under your car or truck. You could see some Brown oil , Red or Green antifreeze, Red transmission fluid, and Brownish Black power steering fluid. I hope you have enjoyed this “Signs and Symptoms” on when it is time to call the wrecking yard to come and get your vehicle!
