This section features auto salvage yards, scrap recyclers, and auto wreckers operating across the United States.

Good to know
How much cash do junk yards pay for a car?
Most scrap yards pay between $200 and $500 for complete passenger cars based on current steel prices ($150 to $220 per ton) and recoverable catalytic converter metals. Larger SUVs, trucks, or drivable vehicles with intact high-demand parts can yield $500 to $1,500+. Towing is typically included at no extra charge.
What is the difference between self-service and full-service junk yards?
Self-service yards (often called pick-a-part or U-pull lots) charge a $2 to $5 gate entry fee and require you to bring your own hand tools and safety gear to pull parts directly from cars. Full-service yards store dismantled parts on warehouse shelves or have yard staff remove the specific component for you, charging higher prices for the saved labor.
Can I sell a car to a junk yard without a title?
It depends on state laws and vehicle age. While most scrap yards strictly demand a clean title to prevent vehicle theft, states like Texas, Florida, and Georgia allow title-less sales on vehicles older than 10 to 12 years if you provide valid state registration and a signed bill of sale.
Who will buy junk cars?
Auto wreckers, scrap recycling centers, and vehicle salvage yards buy scrap cars across Ohio. You can browse 23 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 Ohio. With 23 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.
