Vehicles We Buy

Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and pickups in any condition. Running, non-running, wrecked, flood-damaged, fire-damaged, high-mileage, or missing parts. We evaluate the engine, transmission, catalytic converter, and body weight separately, so vehicles most buyers refuse can still have value here. Typical payouts range from $100 for scrap-weight vehicles to $1,500 or more for trucks and late-model cars with salvageable drivetrain components.

Free Towing Included

Every pickup includes free towing from your driveway, street, parking lot, or repair shop. We operate our own flatbed tow trucks out of our Passyunk Avenue yard in South Philadelphia. Tow cost is never deducted from your offer. If you accepted $400 on the phone, you receive $400 in cash at pickup — not $400 minus a tow fee.

Title, No Title, and Paperwork

If you have the title, the sale takes about five minutes. If you lost the title, Pennsylvania allows salvage purchases using a valid photo ID plus current vehicle registration. If you have neither title nor registration, call us anyway — we can often work with a PennDOT duplicate title application or a mechanics lien process depending on the situation. We handle the DMV paperwork after purchase.

We buy vehicles only. Junkyard Philadelphia is a licensed auto salvage business. We do not offer furniture removal, appliance hauling, or general junk pickup services. If you have a car, truck, SUV, or van to sell — running or not — call us.

Common questions

What Sellers Ask Before Calling

Answers to the questions we hear most often from vehicle owners across Philadelphia and the surrounding area.

Who buys junk cars in Philadelphia?
Junkyard Philadelphia, a licensed PA salvage dealer on Passyunk Avenue, buys junk cars directly from owners throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding counties. We pay cash and tow the vehicle for free, usually the same day you call. Call (866) 748-3697 for a quote.
Who buys non-running cars near me?
Junkyard Philadelphia buys non-running cars in any condition — dead battery, blown engine, transmission failure, or a vehicle that hasn’t started in years. A non-running car doesn’t need to be drivable for us to make an offer; we tow it from wherever it’s parked. Call (866) 748-3697.
Who pays the most for junk cars near me?
Payout depends on the vehicle, not just who you call. We evaluate the engine, transmission, catalytic converter, and body weight separately rather than offering one flat scrap price, which is why our offers are often higher on vehicles with salvageable parts. Call (866) 748-3697 and compare our quote against any other offer you’ve received.
How much will I get for my junk car?
Most vehicles sell for $100 to $1,500. The offer depends on the year, make, model, condition of major components, and current scrap metal market prices. A running 2012 pickup with an intact drivetrain pays significantly more than a non-running 2004 sedan with a missing converter. Call (866) 748-3697 for a quote based on your specific vehicle.
Can I sell a junk car without a title in Pennsylvania?
Yes, in most situations. Pennsylvania allows licensed salvage dealers to purchase vehicles using a valid photo ID and current vehicle registration when no title is available. If you have neither, we can often work with a PennDOT duplicate title application or a mechanics lien depending on the vehicle history. Call (866) 748-3697 and we will tell you exactly which documents apply before the driver arrives.
Is towing really free, or does it come out of my offer?
Towing is always free. We operate our own flatbed tow trucks from our Passyunk Avenue yard. The cash amount you accept on the phone is the exact amount you receive at pickup. Nothing is subtracted for towing, hookup fees, or any other charge.
Who will pick up my junk car the same day I call?
Junkyard Philadelphia offers same-day pickup for most calls placed before noon. Our driver dispatches from Passyunk Avenue and can typically reach Philadelphia addresses within a few hours. Next-day scheduling is available if same-day doesn’t fit your schedule. We operate seven days a week, 8 AM to 6 PM.
What happens to my car after you buy it?
Your vehicle goes to our salvage yard where reusable parts — engine, transmission, alternator, starter, catalytic converter, body panels, tires — are inspected, cataloged, and resold as used auto parts. The remaining shell is crushed, shredded, and sent to a licensed scrap metal processor. Fluids are drained and disposed of according to Pennsylvania DEP requirements.
What areas outside Philadelphia do you cover?
We cover all of Philadelphia plus Delaware County, Montgomery County, Bucks County, and South Jersey including Camden, Cherry Hill, Pennsauken, Collingswood, Voorhees, and Haddonfield. Free towing is included regardless of location.
