Even if you end up selling to one of our competitors, we'll probably end up with your junker anyway. How?

Here's how: they lowball you on your junked car, you pay them a price less than fair value, they turn around and sell it to us for a higher price. They pocket the profit.

We want YOU to pocket the profit. Cut out the middleman and get the cash you deserve by selling your junker to Sturtevant Auto. Shop it around to other salvage yards and you'll see -- you won't get a better offer anywhere else.

Use our junk car value calculator to find out how much your vehicle is worth.

Junking a Car without a Title: What You Need to Know

In Wisconsin, the law says you can't sell a vehicle without a title. To be in full compliance with the law, you'll need to complete a Replacement Title Application with the DMV and pay a $20 fee if you do this by mail. You can also do this online, but will pay an additional convenience fee. If you request a new title in person, there is only a $5 service fee and you will get the new title while you are at the DMV. 

HOWEVER, many junkyards will buy junked cars without a title--if you can prove that you own the vehicle. Sturtevant Auto will work with sellers who have lost the title to their vehicle, but have other paperwork to prove that they own the vehicle. If you're in this predicament, get in touch with us and we'll explain the sort of documentation we'll need to verify that you're the owner of the vehicle you want to sell.

Donate Your Car or Sell it For Salvage?

Donating cars to a charity organization seems like a nice thing to do, but there are numerous scams posing as car donation programs. They’ll take your car, sell it to a junkyard, and pocket the profit for themselves. A great alternative to donating your car is selling it to Sturtevant Auto. Take the money we pay for your junker and give it to any charity of your choosing.

Fluctuating Salvage Prices: What You Need to Know

The price of steel and other metals is constantly changing. This, in turn, causes salvage yard prices to fluctuate. Sturtevant Auto always offers top dollar, but we strongly recommend bringing your car in (or having us pick it up), shortly after getting a quote. Since prices change from day to day, we can’t guarantee you’ll get the same price in a week. Here’s a more in-depth explanation of why junk car values change.

Selling a Car on Craigslist Is Not the Quick Cash Approach

Posting anything on Craigslist is a crap shoot. You either have an excellent experience, or are left with a massive headache and many wasted hours. When selling something as big as a car, expect haggling and a lot of time spent waiting for no-shows. On the other hand,when you sell your car to our local salvage yard you are guaranteed to get a good price, without the hassles and drama of Craigslist. We give you exactly the amount we quote and we pay promptly.

Knowing When It's Time to Junk Your Car

Sometimes, it's not easy to part with an old car. Maybe you have some sentimental attachment from driving your kids around in it. At some point, though, you just have to let it go, especially if its bumper is dragging on the ground or if you get wet when it rains. Other times, you're more than ready to get rid of an old clunker. You just want to get as much cash as you can for it. 

Either way, Sturtevant Auto is just who you need to call. We'll pay the best price for your non-running, totaled, damaged, burned, or unwanted salvage car. We'll harvest the usable parts from it and offer them for sale at our salvage yard.

Looking to buy a used car instead? We offer the best prices on used cars anywhere.

Call our Sturtevant salvage yard for more information on selling your junker.

Do junkyards buy cars without titles?

Sturtevant Auto buys junk cars without titles. Under certain conditions we will buy a broken down car with no title. Call or contact to learn more.

How do salvage yards get cars?

Salvage yards like us depend on people like you to sell their old, broken down, or wrecked cars. If you live within our 35 mile pick-up radius, we'll come and pick-up the car from you. If not, you'll have to bring it in. Either way, Sturtevant Auto will make the best offer possible.

Who buys cars that don't run?

Salvage yards and junkyards buy cars, trucks, and SUVs that don’t run. To get the best possible deal on a car that barely works or is completely broken down, a salvage yard is your best bet.
