Todd's Expert Take

We're currently seeing strong offers in Irvine 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 $829.00 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 Irvine

Do you pay cash for junk cars near me?

Yes. Our junk car service buys clunkers across all of Irvine, including Tustin, Costa Mesa, Lake Forest, Newport Beach, Mission Viejo, Santa Ana, Laguna Niguel, Huntington Beach, and Anaheim, 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 Irvine?

To sell your junk car in Irvine, California, you need a valid title, current registration, government-issued photo ID, and all vehicle keys. Lost titles can be replaced by submitting form REG 227 to the California DMV. While expired registration won't prevent a sale, current registration simplifies the process. In special cases, form REG 262 can substitute for a missing title, though this requires extra documentation and time.

How are junk cars recycled and disposed of in Irvine?

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 Orange County, we work with licensed salvage and car disposal facilities that follow California environmental regulations to handle vehicles the right way. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 128 tons of metal, safely drained more than 1,532 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 1,262 usable parts from Irvine vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
