How to Handle Motor Vehicle Scrapping?
3 Answers
Vehicle scrapping process: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal should fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval Application Form" in duplicate and affix the owner's seal. Apply at the registration acceptance counter. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age limit, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age limit, after inspection and confirmation by the motor vehicle inspection counter that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner should choose a qualified recycling company to send the vehicle for dismantling, based on the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner should submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Renewal Vehicle Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration.
I once handled a scrapped vehicle, and my experience tells me to go to the local DMV to complete the scrapping procedures. Bring your ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and driving license, and they will inspect the car before issuing a scrapping certificate. Then, choose a legitimate car recycling company to have the vehicle towed, dismantled, and recycled. When selecting a recycler, I compared several options and picked a qualified one—don’t cut corners by selling the car privately for a small profit. The whole process takes two or three days and isn’t expensive. After recycling, you save on annual inspections and insurance fees. I also learned that you must take the recycling certificate back to the DMV to cancel the registration, otherwise, the vehicle might be mistakenly considered still in use, causing trouble. Proper disposal is safe and hassle-free, and it helps the environment by recycling metal resources—a win-win situation.
My friend scrapped his old car, and the whole process was super convenient. He first used a mobile app to check and make an appointment with the vehicle management office, then brought his documents to get the necessary certificates. Next, he placed an order on a recycling platform, and a free tow truck came to his doorstep to pick up the car, even giving him a little extra cash. The key is to ensure the recycling company is reliable to avoid any issues with shady transactions. Nowadays, with advanced technology, everything can be done online, saving time and effort. After scrapping the car, the freed-up parking space feels so refreshing! Just remember to handle the license plate cancellation to avoid future hassles—safe and hassle-free.
