Todd's Expert Take

We're currently seeing strong offers in Los Angeles 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 $1,173.00 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.

Through our local partners, we have recycled over 2,095 tons of metal, safely drained more than 25,141 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 20,716 usable parts from Los Angeles vehicles this year.
