If you are still hoping to sell your car for more we invite you to give us a call and we can review and explain your individual offer.
Can I get more money if I have newer tires?
The condition of tires does not impact the price of your car because there isn't much if any, value in recycled tires.
We invite you to sell your tires independently, Junk Car Medics will still buy your car with no tires.
If you sell your tires independently simply let us know your vehicle is missing tires when getting your offer.
How long is my offer valid for?
Your offer is valid for 7 days. At that time we will need to recalculate it based on more accurate scrap metal prices.
What if I have new parts on my car?
The majority of the time the condition of your parts does not matter because we will be recycling your vehicle.
Used parts, even if new, on older cars don't carry much value because there aren't many similar vehicles on the road in need of parts. The majority of vehicles that remain will just be junked instead of repaired due to their age and other conditions. However, if your vehicle contains valuable scrap car parts we will pay you accordingly.
What happens if the condition isn't the same when you arrive?
Junk Car Medics carriers will do a quick inspection of your vehicle to make sure the condition matches what you submitted. If it does not match the offer may have to be altered or your car refused.
Please avoid this by taking the time to correctly answer the questions about your vehicle.
What is considered a drivable car?
A vehicle is considered drivable if it starts and drives in the drive and reverse gears without needing to be pushed.
What does it mean "Does the vehicle start?"
The vehicle starts if you are able to turn the key and start the engine and it idles.
