What's My Junk Car Worth? One Text and You'll Know Free Offer · No Obligation · Free Tow-Away If You Sell
Every junk car is worth something — but no website can tell you what yours is worth without looking at it. The number depends on the vehicle, its condition, and what the market's doing this week. So skip the guessing: tell us what you've got and we'll tell you the number. Free, no obligation, no pressure to sell.
- Free to Ask — a quote costs you nothing and commits you to nothing
- Straight Number — what we say is what you get, no shrinking at pickup
- Nothing Deducted — free tow-away is on us, not taken out of your offer
- Any Condition Quoted — wrecked, flooded, dead, no keys, stripped
- Photo Works — text a picture and skip describing the damage
Find Out in Minutes
Send the year, make, model, and condition — or just a photo. We'll come back with a real number. If you like it, we schedule free pickup. If you don't, no hard feelings.

You want a number. That's fair — and every site you've clicked so far has either buried it or asked for your email first. Here's the honest version: a junk car's value isn't fixed. It moves with the vehicle, its condition, what's still usable on it, and what the market's paying that week. Anyone posting a firm price for "your car" before seeing it is guessing, and usually guessing high to get you on the phone.
What we can tell you is what actually moves the number — that's below. Then you call or text, describe the car (or send a photo), and we give you the real figure for your vehicle. It takes a couple of minutes, it's free, and you're under no obligation. If you like the number, the tow is on us.
Six Things That Decide Your Offer
Every quote we give weighs these. Knowing them tells you roughly where your car sits — and why your neighbor's identical-looking wreck got a different number.
Year, make, model, and size. Bigger, heavier vehicles carry more material. Popular models have more demand for their usable parts. A full-size truck and a small sedan in identical condition aren't in the same conversation.
This one surprises people most. A car that's all there — engine, transmission, wheels, catalytic converter, interior — is worth meaningfully more than the same car with pieces already pulled. Completeness often matters more than whether it runs.
Wrecked, flooded, burned, or just worn out — the type of damage matters as much as the amount. Flood damage hits differently than collision damage, because they ruin different things. We factor the specific situation, not a generic "junk" label.
A vehicle that starts and moves is worth more than one that doesn't — but non-running is normal for us and rarely a dealbreaker. Whether it rolls affects how we load it, which is our problem, not a reason to lowball you.
Scrap and used-parts prices move. The same car can be worth a bit more this month than last, through nothing you did. It's why we quote fresh rather than reading from a chart someone printed a year ago.
Mostly this doesn't change your number — we cover a wide area and the tow is free. It matters only in the sense that we need to reach it. Distance and difficulty are ours to absorb, not yours.
How to Get an Accurate Quote Fast
The more we know up front, the tighter the number — and the less chance of surprises later.
Year, make, and model. If you're not sure, a photo of the car usually tells us everything we need.
Tell us what's wrong and what's missing. Honest details up front mean the number holds at pickup.
Engine pulled? Wheels gone? Converter already cut off? Say so — it's the biggest swing factor.
Fastest route by far. A few angles beats a long description and gets you a number quicker.
About Those Instant Online Quotes
Plenty of sites will hand you a big number in ten seconds. Then the tow fee appears, or the offer drops once someone actually looks at the car, or the number was never real to begin with — it was there to get your phone number. We'd rather be slower and right: tell us about the car, get a number that holds. And if you'd rather sell to someone else after we quote you, that's genuinely fine. No pressure either way.
"Very reliable and arrived on time. Very affordable for the distance needed. Fast, easy, and they handled everything — couldn't have been simpler."
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about pricing, offers, and why the number is what it is.
Mainly the vehicle itself — year, make, model, and size — plus its condition, how complete it is, and what the scrap and used-parts market is doing at the time. Two cars that look equally rough can be worth different amounts depending on what's still usable and what's in demand. That's why we quote each vehicle individually instead of using a chart.
Because any number posted on a page would be a guess about your specific vehicle. Junk car values move with the market and depend heavily on condition and completeness. We'd rather give you a real number for your actual car than a range that sets the wrong expectation. Call or text (504) 338-8968 and we'll tell you what yours is worth.
It's a factor, but it's rarely a dealbreaker — most of what we buy doesn't run. A non-running vehicle still has value in its materials and usable components. Tell us the condition honestly and we'll factor it in from the start, so the number doesn't change when we arrive.
Not if the vehicle matches what you described. We quote based on the details you give us, so the number we say is what you get at pickup. The only time an offer gets revisited is when the vehicle is materially different from the description — for example, if major parts are gone but weren't mentioned.
They're a rough starting point at best. Most don't account for local market conditions, your vehicle's actual condition, or whether towing is included — and some quote high to capture your contact information, then drop the number later. A direct quote from a local buyer will always be closer to reality.
No. Free tow-away is included with every junk vehicle we buy — it's not a line item and it's not deducted from your cash. Whatever number we agree on is what goes in your hand at pickup, anywhere in our coverage area.
