Whether the tow is free decides whether you get paid or pay — and it is nowhere on a map listing. Yards tagged here state that they haul the vehicle at no charge when they buy it. As a rule the tow is free if the car is worth something to them; a car that is stripped, burned or badly rusted may still cost you a haul fee, and that is worth asking about on the first call.

Good to know
How do I get a junk car towed away for free?
Sell it to a yard or buyer that includes pickup in the offer — most salvage buyers do, because the car pays for the tow. Get the offer and the tow terms in the same phone call, and have the registration and your ID ready for the driver.
How much does it cost to get rid of a junk car?
Usually nothing — a complete car normally brings an offer that includes free removal. You may pay a haul fee only when the vehicle has no resale or scrap value left, for example when the engine, catalytic converter and wheels are already gone.
Who will buy junk cars?
Auto wreckers, scrap recycling centers, and vehicle salvage yards buy scrap cars across California. You can browse 65 licensed auto buyers in the state to get competitive scrap quotes. Most buyers handle all ownership transfer paperwork and offer complimentary towing.
Who gives the most cash for junk cars?
High cash offers are typically made by established salvage yards and automotive recyclers operating in California. With 65 listings available state-wide, comparing quotes from multiple yards helps maximize your payout. Complete vehicles with intact catalytic converters and valuable parts command higher prices.
