What Are Leads And How Do They Work?

Some sell junk car companies receive phone calls for price quotes for junk cars that are located outside of their pickup area. Providing price quotes for junk cars that are located outside of a normal pickup range is futile because the junkyards in that area may have different prices for scrap metal and because that company will be unable to pick up the vehicle. Often, sell junk car company operators will first ask what zip code the vehicle is located in to be sure that the company picks up there, and if the company does not pick up there, the operator will inform the car seller that the company does not service that area. Some companies, however, will take advantage of these sorts of calls.

Some companies will take down the car seller’s information such as the year, make, and model of the vehicle and the mechanical problems and body condition as well as the person’s contact information despite the fact that they know that they themselves cannot pick up the vehicle. Although the company cannot pick up the vehicle, it chooses to take down the information so that it can send this information over to a company that can pick up that vehicle. The company searches for junk car removal services in the area where the vehicle is located and sends the lead over to those companies for a small price—usually $5 per lead. Some companies prefer to receive leads via phone, whereas other companies prefer fax or email.

When sell junk car companies send leads, they sometimes send the lead to more than one company, thereby increasing competition. Other companies choose to just send the lead to just one company. Sending a lead to a single company increases that company’s chance of buying the car. Sending the lead to multiple companies has the adverse affect.

Some companies even offer package deals for leads. One such company is Junkyard Direct. This company offers three separate package deals—a $30/month package, a $40/month package and a $60/month package. These packages average out to $1/day, $1.50/day, and $2/day respectively.

Junkyard Direct’s leads are real-time and exclusive, meaning they send the lead to one single company as soon as they receive the lead. The amount of leads a company receives is limitless and Junkyard Direct does not ask for any profit off of any vehicle that is purchased. The package deals can be viewed at Junkyard Direct

March Madness: Why to Junk Your Vehicle Before This Month Is Over

March is an optimal month to junk your vehicle for multiple reasons.

One reason why you should junk your vehicle before this month is through is: spring has sprung! This means that the earth is fertile and is springing new life into the world--flowers will begin to bloom, the grass will soon return to its vibrant green color, and the trees will begin to sprout very shortly.

Who wants to see an old, broken down junk vehicle on the street while all of this life is flourishing? Junk vehicles are eye sores; they aren’t pretty to look at. Some junk vehicles have broken windows; other junk vehicles have scratches, dents, and/or rust. In a nutshell, junk vehicles look dead; they  are not driven; they just sit in a designated spot taking up space; they have no life. More  importantly, though, junk vehicles take the life out of the earth.

Another reason why you should junk your car is: junk vehicles are harmful to the earth and suck the life out of it. Often, these types of vehicles leak harmful fluids that the earth absorbs. Suppose, for example, that you place a junk car in a backyard close to a garden. If the ground by the garden is polluted, the plants and vegetables will not grow. Or in another scenario, the plants and veggies may grow but will be contaminated and will be dangerous to ingest. All that hard work and time spent on that wonderful garden would be futile. A polluted garden is not only dangerous to the people who grow the garden; it is also dangerous to the animals that have formed a niche in that area. If an animal eats the polluted plants, it can die. A junk car can, therefore, kill the beautiful spring scenic view, kill the fertile land that nourished plants and vegetables, and it can kill animals that made that land its habitat.

If you are deciding that you want to junk your vehicle before this month is through, you should research the best junk car removal service for you. Go to Google’s search bar and type in Junk My Car and add the area that you live in. If you live in Staten Island, for example, type in Junk My Car Staten Island. Or if you live in the Bronx, type in Junk My Car Bronx. Call the various companies that come up and choose the company that gives you the most for your vehicle and that is willing to work with your schedule.
