Full-Service vs. Self-Service Junkyards

As you shop around, you’ll start to notice junkyards labeled as “full-service” or “self-service junkyards,” and wonder if it makes a difference. Those terms mostly apply to buyers, indicating whether you have to go out into the junkyard and tear down cars on your own, or whether junkyard staff will do the job for you. If you’re a seller, you should have a relatively similar experience regardless of which one you choose. The biggest difference is likely to be in terms of price offered. Self-Service junkyards are likely to pay a bit less since they’ve got more labor costs and higher overhead. Those costs will tend to be passed along to the buyer (instead of you, the seller), but better safe than sorry.

Auto Parts Junkyard Near Me …

You might have heard that you’d get more money by parting out your vehicle, but that doesn’t strictly apply to auto parts junkyards. Because while they might be earning more for your car on a pound-for-pound basis, that doesn’t mean they’ll pass the extra cash along to you. At the end of the day, the vast majority of junkyards will offer you somewhere near scrap metal pricing for your old vehicle—which is somewhere in the neighborhood of $150 a ton. Then you factor in the cost of towing (where they really get you) and the offer probably won’t be all that exciting. If you’d like to earn more and lock in FREE towing, check out CarJunkYardsNearMe.com. We’re the masters in buying less-than-perfect vehicles for top dollar.
