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

We determine cash offers for junk cars using current market value and factors like make, model, condition, mileage, weight, salvage value, and scrap metal prices in your area (currently $170 to $190 per ton). See our price ranges below:

Vehicle Type Salinas Price Range
Junk Cars $220 - $1,415
Junk Vans $430 - $1,800+

Common Questions About Junking Vehicles for Cash in Salinas

Do you pay cash for junk cars near me?

Yes. Our junk car service buys clunkers across all of Salinas, including Boronda, Prunedale, Marina, Castroville, Spreckels, Seaside, Pacific Grove, Monterey, and Carmel-by-the-Sea. 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 Salinas?

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

How are junk cars recycled and disposed of in Salinas?

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 84 tons of metal, safely drained more than 1,008 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 830 usable parts from Salinas vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
