I’m listed as a co-owner on the car title, can I still junk the car?

Should I sell my car for junk, or as salvage?

When choosing between junking and salvaging your car, it comes down to speed versus value. Junking is fast and hassle-free, putting cash in your hand right away. Salvaging, on the other hand, can pay more if your vehicle has valuable parts sought after by specialty buyers.

How do I get paid?

You’ll get paid once your car is picked up. Payment is typically done electronically, but we can arrange cash if you prefer. Let us know your choice when we finalize the details. Rest assured, we strive to make the process swift and convenient for you.
