Lost titles can be replaced by submitting form REG 227 at the Bakersfield DMV (3120 F Street) or by mail. Alternatively, you can provide a Certificate of Title Status (REG 256) to prove ownership. California requires proper vehicle titles for all sales.
How are junk cars recycled and disposed of in Bakersfield?
When you junk cars for cash, you are selling an old, damaged, or non-running vehicle to a licensed buyer, such as an auto salvage yard, junk car buyer, or car recycling facility. The buyer pays for the value of the parts and scrap metal, dismantles it, and recycles or reuses the components responsibly. We work with licensed salvage and car disposal facilities that follow California environmental regulations. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 196 tons of metal, safely drained more than 2,354 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 1,939 usable parts from Bakersfield vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
