Hello, my name is Kirk Pearson. Welcome to my website about changing fluids that protect your automotive components. Fluids used in automobiles are designed to lubricate and reduce heat to keep the related components from wear and damage. You must know how to best approach the fluid drainage and replacement process to keep those substances performing their intended duties. On this site, I will lead you through the process of changing every fluid on your vehicles of all kinds.

Getting Rid Of Your Junk Car The Right Way
Access to a vehicle can be beneficial, as long as the vehicle is working properly. When a car no longer runs reliably, it can quickly become a burden. Getting rid of your junk car in order to free up space in your driveway for a functional vehicle is important.
There are some important steps that you need to follow in order to get rid of your junk car properly. Here are three steps that you need to take as you try to unload your old car in the future.
1. Establish ownership of the vehicle.
Before you can successfully get rid of your junk car, you will need to establish that you are the owner of the vehicle. Ownership can often be established by providing a bill of sale and a title issued by the government showing that your vehicle does not have a lien against it.
You can only take action to get rid of an inoperable vehicle if you can clearly show that you are the rightful owner of the vehicle.
2. Contact the DMV.
Your state's Department of Motor Vehicles is responsible for keeping track of all the vehicles operating on public roadways. If you are planning to junk your old car, you will need to let the DMV know so that they can maintain a record of your actions.
You will need to fill out paperwork stating that you are salvaging or junking your vehicle and relinquish the license plates issued to the vehicle. Once you have received authorization from the DMV to get rid of your car, you can legally begin the junking process.
3. Contact a junkyard or charity.
The easiest ways to get rid of a junk car are to sell the old vehicle to a junkyard or donate the vehicle to a charity. These organizations will send out a tow truck to haul your inoperable vehicle away.
You will be able to generate income from the sale of the vehicle or enjoy a tax write-off when donating the vehicle to charity. Relying on these organizations will make it easy for you to have your old car removed from your property successfully.
Getting rid of a junk car can be complicated. Be sure that you are taking the right steps to legally get rid of your old car by establishing ownership, working with the DMV to file the necessary paperwork, and contacting the proper organization to come take the car off your hands.
