Scrap Car Removal Services - Are They Right For You? Scrap car removal services come directly to where the car is located like a garage, driveway, parkade, alleyway, even an accident scene. Using qualified tow truck drivers, and insured equipment, the scrap car removal service is usually completed within 24 hours of booking. You can make your appointment by phone or online with most scrap car removal services. Provide accurate, detailed information about the car, and be sure to have the ownership documents ready. Also confirm if there will be a fee charged to you, if the removal service is free, or if the scrap car company pays you a fee for your car.
