Junk Cars for Cash in San Bernardino, CA

Your junk car's value depends on several factors: year, make, model, condition, mileage, weight, current scrap metal prices, and your location. Most junk cars are worth between $100-$1,500. However, newer vehicles (2010+) with catalytic converters, working engines/transmissions, and valuable parts can fetch up to $5,000 or more. Our junk car buyers in San Bernardino strive to pay the most cash for cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs, often beating local auto salvage and junkyard pricing. If you receive a better price, let us know and we'll do our best to beat it.

Generally, we need the vehicle title, a valid license or photo ID, registration (if no title), and the keys (if available). Our junk car buyers handle all the paperwork and DMV requirements.

While a title is preferred, it isn’t always required. If you have a valid ID, registration in your name, or other proof of ownership, we may still be able to purchase your junk car without a title, depending on its age and condition.

We offer same-day pickup in most areas, and over 90% of our pickups happen within 24-48 hours of accepting our offer.

Yes, due to fluctuating scrap metal prices, the cash offer for your junk car can change at any time up until it is accepted and has passed our in-person inspection.

We pay cash or check on the spot when we buy junk cars.

Yes, 100%. Towing is always free, regardless of your car's location or condition. We tow from driveways, streets, parking lots, garages, mechanic shops, tow yards, and any other public location.

Our cash for cars service buys used cars, junk cars, old vehicles, non-running cars, parts cars, and vehicles with damage, missing parts, or mechanical problems. If it’s a car, we’ll make an offer.

Yes, we buy incomplete cars and vehicles missing parts. However, the offer will be adjusted based on the missing parts. Major components like the engine, transmission, or catalytic converter significantly affect a vehicle’s salvage and scrap value.

After selling your junk car for cash, it will be scrapped by one of our auto salvage yards. It will be stripped of its parts, drained of fluids, and recycled for scrap metal. We work with licensed junk car buyers, junk yards, and car recycling and disposal facilities that follow California environmental regulations.

Unfortunately, no. Upgrades like new tires and car stereos won't affect the cash value for your junk car because our prices are based on the car's scrap metal value.

Yes, the vehicle owner must be present at the junk car pickup so that we can verify ownership.

In most cases, no. In this case, you will likely need to complete the transfer of ownership with the DMV before we can buy your junk car.
