Before you weigh it in

Scrapping a car in the northwest suburbs

A scrap yard weighs your car and pays you for the metal. That's a fine outcome for some vehicles and a bad deal for others, and it's worth one phone call to find out which one you have.

Why weight isn't the whole story

Every vehicle that comes to us gets inspected to see whether it's a candidate for repair. If it is, that's worth more than the metal, and that shows up in what we can offer you.

When scrap really is the answer

Sometimes it is, and we'll say so. Cars that are rusted through structurally, stripped, or burned generally are worth scrap value and not much more. You'll get a straight answer either way.

What you should compare

Get the scrap yard's number, then call us. If they're higher, take it — we'd rather you got the better deal than felt talked into something.
