Upwards to 75% of the junk car can be recycled in this manner.

Expensive Repairs that Lead People to Sell Junk Cars

As we all know, cars need typically need continual maintenance and upkeep to keep them running efficiently and effectively.

Over time, cars start to deteriorate and eventually need major repairs or upgrades to keep them running efficiently - and sometimes just to keep them on the road.

Aside from general body damage from car accidents that need to be repaired, some repairs or upgrades are just too much to bare for some vehicle owners, leading them to seek out junk car buying companies who pay cash for junk cars, rather than pay for the costly repair.

 

Replacing Turbochargers on Your Vehicle

Turbo chargers, as the term suggests, provide more power to your engine by generating bigger explosions in the cylinders. More power equates to higher engine outputs and more speed. However, turbo chargers make the engine and its systems susceptible to damage and intense heat.

Car expert Art Jacobsen says that engines equipped with turbo chargers need just the right amount of oil to keep the engine from heating up. However, too little and too much oil can spell huge damage to the overall engine structure and significantly hamper the performance of your car.

If you need to replace your car's turbochargers or simply repair them, don't be surprised if you need to spend anywhere from $700 to $3000 depending on the extent of the work involved.

 

Replacing Catalytic Converter

Catalytic converters reduce the toxic elements from your car’s exhaust emissions, which is good for the environment. However, replacing them can cost you a lot of money, since most catalytic converters are made of the earth’s most rare metals - platinum, palladium and rhodium.

In the state of Georgia, your vehicle will not pass an annual emissions test without the catalytic converter and replacement costs can get up to nearly $3000. The catalytic converter is also one of the primary pieces that are of value to companies who buy junk cars.

 

Replacing Hybrid Batteries

While the automobile industry is slowly shifting to environmentally-friendlier vehicles, the whole sector is not yet keen to go green. Hybrid batteries may sound good on the wallet with their correlation to the gas pump, but if something goes wrong, repairs and replacement can cost you a pretty penny.

Jacobsen says that there are very few mechanics across United States who are familiar with hybrid batteries and engines. On top of that, hybrid batteries and replacement parts are still in short supply. Installation/replacement costs: can start around $2700 depending on the model of your hybrid vehicle.

Replacing hybrid inverter assembly

When you're purchasing a hybrid automobile, it's important to note that not all car repair shops offer automotive services for hybrid automobiles. This is one of the reasons why replacing a hybrid’s inverter assembly can be so costly. Inverters allow cars to switch from direct current to alternating current. However, if and when the inverters fail, costs can shoot to as high as $4,000 to $7,400.

 

Cylinder replacements

A common problem or every car owner out there are burned out cylinders. Although faulty cylinders are familiar for most car owners and car mechanics, it can be very costly if the damage is extensive. Parts are pricey. But it is the labor takes a huge chunk out of your wallet.

Mechanics have to dismantle the whole engine in order to do the repair. Sometimes, the pay is too high that many automobile owners decide to junk the vehicle altogether and get a new one instead. Depending on your location, repair costs can get up to $4000.

If you're not interested in making these type of pricy repairs on your car, consider selling your junk car to a junk car buyer in your area.
