Frequently Asked Questions

The amount depends on your vehicle's year, make, model, condition, and current scrap metal and parts prices. We factor all of this in real-time to give you the best possible offer. Most vehicles in Massachusetts fetch between $100 and $5,000. Call us for a free quote — it takes less than 3 minutes.

We look at four main factors: (1) the weight of the vehicle and current scrap metal prices, (2) demand for parts from your specific make and model, (3) overall condition — running vs. non-running, damage, rust, missing parts, and (4) your location within Massachusetts.
