Junkyards That Buy Junk Cars in Atlanta

3 yards in the Atlanta area across 3 cities have told us, through their name, website or customer reviews, that they buy junk, wrecked or non-running cars. 1 of them also buys 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 836 Google reviews averaging 4.2 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 Atlanta buy junk cars?

3 yards in the Atlanta, GA area are confirmed to buy junk, wrecked or non-running cars: GO Pull-It - Atlanta East - Junkyard and Junk Car Buyer, Sell Your Car Fast Atlanta LLC, and Junk Yard Atlanta Cash For Cars. Most salvage yards and scrap metal dealers also buy whole vehicles, so Pull-A-Part Atlanta South, Pull-A-Part Atlanta North, and Columbia Used Auto Parts are worth a call too.

How much do junkyards in Atlanta 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 Atlanta?

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.
