“Metal prices fluctuate which is why you don't see them steadily posted but this business does the best job of at least trying, and because I separated my metals by hand before going in I received twice as much as I expected.”

FAQs

Can you explain the whole junk car process to me quickly?

We show up, complete about five minutes of paperwork, give you money and take the car away. Yes, that really is the whole process. Yes, it really is that simple.

What if the registration is to someone else?

No problem! If the vehicle is registered to someone else, have that person present along with their ID and the registration papers when we come for the sale.

Do I need to have a title to sell my car?

If your junk car is 2008 or newer, we are required by law to collect a title when we buy it. Newer cars are more likely to have a lien on them, so someone still owes money on a vehicle and has to finish paying the vehicle off before the lien holder will release the title.

Is there any hidden cost to me?

No, our junk process is free. We take care of towing the car away and give you cash at that time. There is no cost to you at all. We get the car. You get the cash.

What is a salvage title?

A salvage title is a title that identifies vehicles that have sustained major damages or have been deemed a total loss. Salvaged vehicles can be rebuilt and inspected to be re-registered. If your car or truck is in an accident and the cost of repairing the vehicle is a deemed too high compared to the value of the vehicle, your car insurance company will decide not to pay to have it repaired and declare it a total loss. Your insurance company will then take possession of the car or truck. In some cases, the non-running vehicle gets sold to a repair facility and the vehicle is fixed or rebuilt. The new title that gets issued on the vehicle is called a salvage title. It has the words salvage located in a prominent position on the front of the title

Area overview: Chattanooga, TN

4 of the 21 yards we list are based in Chattanooga; the other 17 serve Chattanooga from towns including Sweetwater (58 mi), Soddy-Daisy (16 mi) and Guild (17 mi). The yards on this page are rated from 4.0 to 5.0 across 1,356 reviews; 10 have 50 or more reviews and 10 are rated 4.5 or higher. The topics that come up most in reviews of the yards on this page are "price" and "fair". 3 are open around the clock; 18 are open on Saturdays and 7 on Sundays. 3 have a BBB rating of A or A+.

Does it matter how long a yard has been running?

Somewhat. 6 of the 21 yards report ten or more years in business. A long-running yard tends to hold older stock and to know its interchange without looking twice, which is what you want when the car is out of production.
