Get More Cash for Junk Cars, Trucks, Vans, and SUVs in Riverside

We set offers using objective factors such as make, model, condition, mileage, weight, salvage value, and area scrap metal rates (currently $170 to $190 per ton). Typical ranges are:

Vehicle Type Riverside Price Range
Junk Cars $200 - $1,460
Junk Vans $455 - $1,800+
Junk SUVs $535 - $2,000+
Junk Trucks $565 - $2,000+
Used Cars (Running) $1,535 - $5,000+

Actual payouts may vary. Our goal is to pay top dollar for every vehicle, typically beating junkyard rates. Those with valuable parts such as engines, transmissions, and catalytic converters fetch more money, as do larger trucks and SUVs. If you get a higher written offer, we'll try to match or beat it.

Common Questions About Junking Vehicles for Cash in Riverside

Do you pay cash for junk cars near me?

Yes. Our junk car service buys clunkers across all of Riverside, including Eastvale, Corona, Moreno Valley, Jurupa Valley, Norco, Perris, Lake Elsinore, Grand Terrace, and Loma Linda. No matter where you are located we will make you a fair offer and come to you to remove your vehicle at no charge.

What paperwork do I need to sell my junk car in Riverside?

To sell your junk car in Riverside, California, you need a valid title, government-issued photo ID, registration, and all keys. Lost titles can be replaced by submitting form REG 227 to the California DMV. Without a title, some buyers may accept current registration and a release of liability form (REG 138), though this typically results in a lower offer.

How are junk cars recycled and disposed of in Riverside?

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 171 tons of metal, safely drained more than 2,049 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 1,689 usable parts from Riverside vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
