Determine Your Car's Value in Detroit

Your junk car's value in Detroit depends on weight, metal prices, and salvageable parts. Detroit's harsh winters and industrial environment create specific damage patterns. Salt corrosion and rust affect most vehicles. We factor local conditions into every offer.

Detroit-specific value factors include:

  • Heavy salt damage from winter road treatments
  • Pothole damage from deteriorating infrastructure
  • Rust acceleration from Great Lakes humidity
  • Vandalism and stripped parts (high-crime areas)
  • Factory closure abandonment issues

Current Detroit scrap steel prices: $180-$210 per ton. Aluminum brings $0.60-$0.80 per pound. We calculate your car's exact metal value. Add salvageable parts value. You get the total amount.
