Todd's Expert Take

We're currently seeing strong offers in Tempe despite the typical seasonal slowdown. As we head into winter 2025, scrap metal demand usually drops, but our buyers are actively purchasing vehicles to maintain inventory. This means competitive pricing for sellers right now. We're averaging $846.00 per vehicle in your area, with trucks and SUVs commanding premium prices due to their weight.

If you've been considering selling, late fall and winter can actually work in your favor. Fewer people sell during cold months, which means less competition and buyers eager to secure inventory. We're committed to fair offers year-round, evaluating your vehicle's actual value rather than just scrap weight.

Common Questions About Junking Vehicles for Cash in Tempe

Do you pay cash for junk cars near me?

Yes. Our junk car service buys clunkers across all of Tempe, including Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Guadalupe, and Ahwatukee Foothills, and more. No matter where you are located we will make you a fair offer and come to you to remove your vehicle at no charge.

What paperwork do I need to sell my junk car in Tempe?

To sell your junk car in Tempe, Arizona, you'll need a valid vehicle title, government-issued photo ID, registration, and all keys. Lost titles can be replaced at any Arizona MVD office or through the MVD NOW online portal by completing form 96-0236 and paying a fee. For out-of-state titles, contact the original state's DMV. While some buyers may accept alternative ownership proof, a valid title is recommended for the smoothest transaction.

How are junk cars recycled and disposed of in Tempe?

When you junk cars for cash, you are selling an old, damaged, or non-running vehicle to a licensed buyer such as an auto salvage yard, junk car buyer, or car recycling facility. The buyer pays for the value of the vehicle’s parts and scrap metal, dismantles it, and recycles or reuses the components responsibly. In Maricopa County, we work with licensed salvage and car disposal facilities that follow Arizona environmental regulations to handle vehicles the right way. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 91 tons of metal, safely drained more than 1,089 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 897 usable parts from Tempe vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
