I'm Todd, founder of Junk Car Medics. I've been helping people sell junk cars for cash in Buffalo for over 10 years. I've learned that most sellers want two things — top dollar and fast service. We deliver on both. Our offers are fair, guaranteed, and we'll often match or beat written offers from competitors to earn your business.

Common Questions

Do you buy junk cars in my area?

Yes. Our junk car service buys clunkers across the area, including Amherst, Cheektowaga, Tonawanda, West Seneca, Lancaster, Hamburg, Orchard Park, Clarence, and Depew. 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?

To sell your junk car in Buffalo, New York, you need a valid title, government ID, registration, and all keys. For a lost title, submit form MV-902 to the NY DMV with a $20 fee. You'll also need form DTF-802 for the sale. For cars over 8 years old without a title, New York accepts transferable registration, though this requires extra paperwork and processing time.

How are junk cars recycled and disposed of?

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 parts and scrap metal, dismantles it, and recycles or reuses the components responsibly. We work with licensed salvage and car disposal facilities that follow New York environmental regulations. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 140 tons of metal, safely drained more than 1,676 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 1,381 usable parts from Buffalo vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
