Todd's Expert Take

We're currently seeing strong offers in Houston 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 $928.00 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 Houston

Do you pay cash for junk cars near me?

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 Houston?

To sell your junk car in Houston, Texas, you need a valid title, government ID, and registration. Lost titles can be replaced at any TxDMV office or online by completing Form VTR-34 and paying a fee. For titleless vehicles, Texas accepts bonded titles using Form VTR-130-SOF, and Form VTR-356 for multiple owners. Clear any liens before selling and remove license plates after the sale.

How are junk cars recycled and disposed of in Houston?

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 Harris County, we work with licensed salvage and car disposal facilities that follow Texas environmental regulations to handle vehicles the right way. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 1,184 tons of metal, safely drained more than 14,213 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 11,712 usable parts from Houston vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
