Junkyards That Buy Junk Cars in Miami

3 yards in the Miami area across 3 cities have told us, through their name, website or customer reviews, that they buy junk, wrecked or non-running cars. 2 of them also buy scrap metal, which is what most junk cars are worth to a yard: the price follows the weight of the car and the day's steel price. Together they have 717 Google reviews averaging 4.7 stars. Another 12 salvage and scrap yards, listed further down, usually buy whole vehicles too; we haven't confirmed it for each one, so call first. Offers vary a lot between yards, so call two or three with the year, make, model and whether it runs, and compare before you hand over the title.

Before you call

  1. Find the title. Yards want it in your name; if it's lost, ask the yard what it accepts and get a duplicate from the DMV if needed.
  2. Note the year, make, model, mileage, and whether it starts and drives. Every quote starts with those.
  3. Call two or three yards and compare offers. Ask whether the price includes towing and whether it can change on pickup.
  4. Take your plates off, clear out your belongings, and cancel the insurance once the car is gone.
  5. Bring a photo ID when the yard comes, and get a receipt or bill of sale showing the sale date and the yard's name.

Frequently asked questions

Which junkyards in Miami buy junk cars?

3 yards in the Miami, FL area are confirmed to buy junk, wrecked or non-running cars: Junkyard Dog - Cash For Junk Cars, Junk Car Buyers Miami Auto Recycling, and Junk My Car - Best Used Auto Parts. Most salvage yards and scrap metal dealers also buy whole vehicles, so SCC Automotive Catalytic Converter Buyers, U Pull It Davie, and USA Scrap Metal & Recycling are worth a call too.

How much do junkyards in Miami pay for a junk car?

It depends on the car's weight, the day's scrap steel price, and whether it runs or has parts the yard can resell. A complete car that doesn't run usually brings a few hundred dollars; a running car or one with in-demand parts brings more. Offers differ between yards, so get two or three quotes with the year, make, model and condition before you decide.

What do I need to sell a junk car in Miami?

The title in your name and a government-issued photo ID. Take the plates off and clear out your belongings first. If you've lost the title, ask the yard what it accepts: some states let older vehicles go on a registration or bill of sale, and your DMV can issue a duplicate title.

What's the best-rated junk car buyer in Miami?

Junkyard Dog - Cash For Junk Cars is rated 4.9 stars from 372 Google reviews.
