Title, Towing, and What to Expect At the Yard
If you are online and searching for a “car scrap yard near me” that takes vehicles in any condition, you are in the right place. Yes, we take junk cars, running or not, and you don’t need to fix a thing before you tow it in. Here’s what to have ready: the title (or acceptable paperwork if you don’t have it) and a valid photo ID. Call (833) 49-SCRAP and we will walk you through it before you hook up the tow strap.
Running or Not, We Still Want It
Your car doesn’t need to start, drive, or even have all four wheels for us to take it. Whether it stalled for the last time in your driveway last winter or hasn’t moved since the transmission went, it still has scrap value once it is on our scale as one of the most common forms of automotive scrap metal we take in. The only thing that changes based on condition is how it gets to us, not whether we will take it.
The Title and Paperwork You Need to Bring In
A title in your name is the simplest way to sell a vehicle at any of our yards. If you don’t have the title, bring a valid, government-issued photo ID and a Bill of Sale instead. Give us a call ahead so we can confirm exactly what we will need for your situation before you tow it in. Either way, this is one part worth being clear about before you arrive, so it isn’t the missing detail that holds up an otherwise quick visit.
Getting It There
A pickup with a tow strap or chain works for a lot of junk cars, but if yours doesn’t roll or steer, a tow truck or flatbed is the safer call. Once it is at one of our yards, our team takes it from there; you don’t need to remove parts, drain fluids, or do anything to it first. That’s really the whole process behind junk car recycling on your end.
How Your Scrap Vehicle Is Weighed and Paid
Your vehicle is weighed whole, right there on our scale, the same way we weigh any other load of scrap metal. What it pays depends mostly on its weight, since a car is priced as scrap steel with whatever other metals come along with it. Tires, fluids, and anything that isn’t metal get weighed out separately and do not count toward your payout, same as with any other load. Read our blog post on how selling scrap metal works to learn more about how weighing and payout work across the board.
What Happens When You Pull In At Our Scrap Yard
Drive up to the scale with your vehicle, same as you would with any other load. Our team weighs it, confirms your ID and paperwork, and pays you before you leave. Most vehicle drop-offs take under 30 minutes.
