Junkyards That Buy Junk Cars in Seattle

We haven't confirmed a dedicated junk-car buyer in the Seattle area yet. The 12 salvage and scrap yards below are the kind that usually buy whole vehicles for parts or scrap, with the price following the car's weight and the day's steel price. Call first to confirm they're buying. 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 Seattle buy junk cars?

We haven't confirmed a dedicated junk-car buyer in the Seattle, WA area yet. Salvage yards and scrap metal dealers usually buy whole vehicles by weight; B&R Auto Wrecking, Pick-n-Pull, and Pick-n-Pull are the most-reviewed ones to call.

How much do junkyards in Seattle 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 Seattle?

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.
