When a car is involved in an accident or becomes too expensive to repair, it may be salvaged. Salvage yards purchase these vehicles and sell their parts or recycle the metal. Understanding how a car is salvaged can help you make informed decisions about your own vehicle and ensure it is disposed of properly.
Assessment of Damage
The first step in salvaging a car is to assess the damage. This includes inspecting the body, engine, and other components to determine the extent of the damage.
