Sell Your Junk Car in Pennsylvania

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.

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.

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.

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.
