FAQs
Only in some cases. Cars 12 model years old or older that have no engine or are totally inoperable can be junked without a title using Form TI-014A. Other vehicles still require a title.
You can verify your vehicle’s title through the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS).

It depends on how the names are shown on the title. If the co-owners’ names are connected by “or,” either person can junk the car independently. However, if they’re connected by “and,” all listed owners must sign to approve the sale or disposal. Always review the title carefully before taking action, and if you need help, our team is just a call away to walk you through the process.
If your car has valuable parts intact, salvage will usually earn you more. If it’s badly damaged, junk is often the better route. A junk buyer’s offer is based on your car’s weight and today’s scrap metal prices, so its condition barely affects the price. A salvage buyer pays for usable parts, such as the engine, transmission, or body panels, which is why newer and popular models tend to get more. Along the South Carolina coast, cars hit by storm flooding or eaten away by salt-air rust may have few usable parts left, so a junk sale usually works out better. We collect offers from both types of buyers and show you the highest.
One of our certified auto removal partners will collect your car at your convenience. They are trained specialists who can remove your vehicle safely and efficiently. Once you accept the quote, they will pay you once the car is collected. Leave the heavy lifting to us!
