Frequently asked questions
Junk yard
Yes, we will pick up your car for free. Our trucks meet all the environmental requirements, so we can even pick up your car in a city center. Call us to make an appointment, then we will pick up your car as soon as possible.
Yes, all cars eligible for scrapping are welcome at our facility. This is the case if your car has been declared ‘total loss’ (technically or economically), if it has been rejected for the PTI (Periodic Technical Inspection) and can only be repaired at high cost, if the costs for repair are higher than the value of the car, if the car has driven more than 200,000 km or if the car is 20 years or older.
Are you not sure wether your car should be scrapped or sold? Contact us via info@autosloperijdepopulier.nl or call us on 010 – 421 6500. We can give you advice immediately.
No, if you bring a car or scooter during our opening hours, you are always welcome. If you can only come by outside of our opening hours, you do need to make an appointment. Of course, we can also pick up your vehicle. Call us on 010 - 421 6500, so we can determine what is most convenient.
Unfortunately, every vehicle has a limited lifespan. If your car (or van, motorcycle, caravan or scooter) can no longer be repaired, you can bring it to us or let us pick it up. We will make sure that your vehicle is dismantled and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
This really depends on the type of car you have and therefore we cannot give you a standard answer. It's best to give us a call (010 - 421 6500), then we can provide you with the right advice immediately.
Yes, you can. As long as you can identify yourself, we can always give you a certificate of indemnification. This certificate is important because otherwise you remain responsible for paying insurances and taxes for the car.
That's possible if the registration certificate is complete. Otherwise, the persons who brings the car needs to show proof of identification.
We can still clear your vehicle, even if your registration papers are lost.
Unfortunately, this is not possible. We are required to destroy license plates to prevent fraud.
For a car, this depends on the type of car you have. It is best to contact us by phone.
For a scooter, unfortunately, you do not get a refund. If you bring a scooter to us, you will have to pay processing fees. If you bring it yourself, it will cost €15, if we pick it up, it will cost €50.
Car parts
You can come to us for any car parts you can think of, such as tires, batteries, engine covers, headlights, turning signals, mirrors, seats, a steering wheel, side windows, rear windows, windshield wipers, windshield washers, windshields, windshields, an exhaust, etc.
Yes, we have more than 900 cars on our premises from which you can take parts. We work on a self-service basis, which means that you must disassemble parts yourself. Therefore, bring your tools with you!
Yes, we always have car tires and batteries available. Please feel free to stop by!
We chose to not store parts separately, but to leave them on the car. Once in a while, we replace the cars so that we always have as many parts in stock as possible. You need to disassemble the parts yourself.
No, there is no warranty on parts, but you may test the part before you buy it.
We are located in an area with several junkyards. Chances are you can find the part at one of the companies nearby.
Yes, we have tools that can be borrowed. Unfortunately, this supply does diminish every day because not everything is returned. If you want to make sure you can loosen a part, it's best to bring your own tools.
No, if we don't have a part, we can refer you to one of the other junkyards. We know these companies well, so we can make a pretty good assessment of where best to go.
No, we do not reserve parts.
You can always return loose tires to us. You will have to pay €2.50 per tire though, because we also have to pay a fee to dispose of them. You will receive a refund for aluminum/alloy rims. Call us for more information on 010 - 421 6500.
Occasions / Second-hand cars
This is possible, but in reality this is often forgotten, especially if the car takes a little longer to arrive. Therefore, we recommend that you contact us yourself on a regular basis.
For this, you need comparison material. We therefore recommend that you contact several companies.
The most important thing is to get a certificate of indemnification from the RDW, so that the car is off your name and you are no longer responsible for damages, taxes and fines. Do not ever sell a car without this certificate!
Yes, you can. Please come by or send us pictures, so we can tell you immediately what the value is.
Yes, we regularly have second-hand cars and/or scooters for sale.
Yes you can. First, you have to make a down payment. Then, we will agree on a deadline for you to pick up the car.
General
No, even though we enjoy our work immensely, we also need time to rest and do other things. That is why we are closed on Sundays.
No, you can only pay by debet card or cash, or by direct transfer.
Yes. When we pick up your car or scooter or when you bring it in, we will always issue a certificate of indemnification immediately.
Unfortunately, this is not possible. This interferes with our normal operations, and because of the nature of the work and the materials we work with, it can lead to dangerous situations.
Yes, we sponsor several racing classes, including stockcar F1.
We do not perform repairs of cars or scooters ourselves, but cooperate with reliable partners for this purpose.
No, unfortunately we do not do this. We sell the tires loose, without the rim. That way, you can easily have them mounted at your local garage.
Yes, we collect scrap iron, but it depends greatly on what you have. Call us for more information at 010 - 421 6500.
