Todd's Expert Take

We're currently seeing strong offers in Rochester 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 $685.00 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.
