Subject: taking my car to a wrecker

Question
Just wondering what needs to be removed from my vehicle before I take it to a wrecker/junk yard. It's a 99 ford taurus. I am located in Alberta Canada if that makes a difference.Thank you!!

Answer
Well I would make sure that its cleaned out of personal property of course, and that there are no "hazardous materials" or trash in it...

You most likely do not have a full tank of fuel so that would be ok...

Basically just give them a call and see what they say is the best idea... I do not think you would have a problem just taking the vehicle there.
