Determine Your Car's Value in Tampa

Your junk car's value in Tampa depends on weight, metal prices, and salvageable parts. Tampa's hurricanes and humidity create specific damage patterns. Salt air from the bay affects vehicles differently than inland. We factor all local conditions into every offer.

Tampa-specific value factors include:

  • Hurricane damage (wind and water damage)
  • Flood damage from summer storms
  • Salt air corrosion near bay
  • Failed AC systems (common in Florida heat)
  • Catalytic converter presence

Current Tampa scrap steel prices: $160-$190 per ton. Aluminum brings $0.65-$0.85 per pound. We calculate your car's exact metal value. Add salvageable parts value. You get the total amount.
