Pricing

How much is my junk car worth?

Junk car payouts come down to weight, completeness, and what the vehicle's parts are still worth. Rather than guess from an online calculator, call (718) 702-3135 — we quote from today's scrap market and the number we give you on the phone is the cash you get.

What drives the number up

Two identical-looking cars can be worth very different amounts. These are the factors that matter most when we price a vehicle.

  • Curb weight — heavier trucks and SUVs pay more than compact sedans
  • Catalytic converter still installed
  • Engine and transmission present, even if they don't run
  • Wheels, tires, doors, and body panels intact
  • Recent model year with resale demand for parts

What lowers an offer

Missing high-value components are the main reason a quote drops. Fire and flood damage also reduce what a dismantler can recover.

  • Catalytic converter removed
  • Engine or transmission pulled
  • Extensive fire damage
  • Vehicle stripped of wheels or major panels
  • Ownership documentation incomplete

Why we quote by phone instead of a calculator

Scrap-metal prices move week to week, and online estimators are usually last quarter's averages dressed up as a real offer. A short call about your specific car — its year, engine, damage, and what's still bolted on — gets you a number we'll actually honor when the truck arrives.

Getting the most for your vehicle

A few small things reliably improve your payout.

  • Sell the car complete rather than parting it out first
  • Have the title ready when you have one
  • Mention recently replaced parts — tires, battery, alternator
  • If the car drives and you can deliver it, ask about the tow credit

Common questions

Do you charge anything?

No. No towing fee, no paperwork fee, no pickup fee. The quoted amount is what you receive.

How long is a quote good for?

Quotes generally hold for several days. Scrap pricing moves, so the sooner you schedule, the more certain the number.

Can you beat another offer?

Call and tell us what you were quoted and on what vehicle. If we can do better we'll say so, and if we can't we'll tell you that too.

Ready for cash today?

One call gets you a firm offer and a pickup time — usually the same day.
