Windshield: Your windshield should be clean and free of cracks and dings.

Lights: Regularly inspect all front and rear lights. Also keep them clean as well so they can always be easily seen from a distance.

Spare Tire & Jack: Be sure your trunk always has a spare tire and jack in case of a flat.

What To Do When You Wreck Your Car | Cash For Cars Atlanta

No one wants to get into a car wreck, but it happens, even to the best of drivers. Knowing what to do after you wreck your car is important. It can be a stressful experience and when under stress we sometimes make poor decisions. So try to stay calm and review your situation from a reasonable standpoint so that you can salvage what value you can from your vehicle.  Here are a few things to consider when you wreck your car…

DETERMINE  THE VALUE OF YOUR CAR BEFORE AND AFTER THE WRECK: Knowing the value both before and after a car wreck is imperative. If the wreck has caused your car to lose most of it’s value, that should help you decide if it is even worth it to consider repairing your car. If the wreck was not your fault, be sure the responsible party compensates you fully for your loss. 

CALCULATE WHETHER OR NOT IT IS WORTH IT TO REPAIR YOUR CAR: If repairing the car turns out to be your financial responsibility after a car wreck, you may not want to repair it if the repairs exceed or come close to matching the value of the car. Those funds would probably be best used as a down payment toward another vehicle that is in good condition. 

WEIGH YOUR OPTIONS FOR KEEPING YOUR CAR VS. SELLING IT: Make a list of the pros and cons of keeping your car vs. selling it. Be sure to take repair costs, car value, how often your needed repairs previously and the age of the vehicle into account. 

If you complete your pros and cons list and decide to sell your vehicle, call us. We will buy your wrecked car, no matter how badly it was damaged. We pay top dollar for junk cars and offer same day car removal. Call us today for a free quote.
