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 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.

The buyer pays for the value of the vehicle’s parts and scrap metal, dismantles it, and recycles or reuses the components responsibly. In Monroe County, we work with licensed salvage and car disposal facilities that follow New York environmental regulations to handle vehicles the right way. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 113 tons of metal, safely drained more than 1,362 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 1,122 usable parts from Rochester vehicles this year.
