Frequently Asked Questions

How much is my junk car worth?

Junk car values typically range from $100 to $1,000+ depending on the vehicle's weight, condition, year, make, and current scrap metal prices. Running vehicles or those with salvageable parts are worth more. Call local yards for free quotes.

Do I need a title to sell my junk car?

Requirements vary by state. Most yards prefer a title, but many will buy cars without one if you can prove ownership through registration, ID, and sometimes a bill of sale. Contact your local DMV or the yard directly for specific requirements.

Will you pick up my junk car for free?

Many junkyards and salvage yards offer free towing for junk cars, especially if the vehicle has decent scrap value. Some may charge a fee for very remote locations or vehicles that are difficult to access. Always ask about towing costs when getting a quote.

How fast can I get paid for my junk car?

Most junk car buyers offer same-day or next-day pickup and payment. Once you accept a quote and schedule pickup, you can typically have cash in hand within 24-48 hours. Many yards pay on the spot when they pick up your vehicle.

What happens to my junk car after I sell it?

Junk cars are typically dismantled for usable parts, which are cleaned and resold. The remaining shell is crushed and recycled as scrap metal. Fluids are drained and disposed of properly. Modern auto recycling recovers up to 80% of a vehicle's materials.

Can I sell a car that doesn't run?

Yes! Junkyards buy non-running vehicles all the time. The value depends on the car's condition, whether parts are salvageable, and its scrap metal weight. Even cars with major mechanical issues, accident damage, or missing parts have value.
