JunkyardBefore you call
- 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.
- Note the year, make, model, mileage, and whether it starts and drives. Every quote starts with those.
- Call two or three yards and compare offers. Ask whether the price includes towing and whether it can change on pickup.
- Take your plates off, clear out your belongings, and cancel the insurance once the car is gone.
- 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 Philadelphia buy junk cars?
7 yards in the Philadelphia, PA area are confirmed to buy junk, wrecked or non-running cars: Automotive Group, Inc, Thompson Towing LLC, and All Tow Recovery Towing & Auto Salvage - Cash For Junk Cars among them. Most salvage yards and scrap metal dealers also buy whole vehicles, so Alpha Used Auto Parts, Harry's u Pull it Auto Parts, and Garfield Refining are worth a call too.
How much do junkyards in Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia?
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 Philadelphia?
