Common Questions About Scrapping Cars in Reno

Expert answers to your local car scrapping questions

What factors affect the scrap price of my car in Reno?

Vehicle weight, local metal prices, make and model, and condition determine the value. Vehicles with salvageable parts often get higher offers.

What documents are required to scrap my car in Reno?

A valid title and state ID are required. If the title is missing, apply for a duplicate using Nevada Form VP 012. Ownership is transferred using the title once you receive payment.

Can I scrap an abandoned vehicle in Reno?

Yes. File a completed Nevada Abandoned Vehicle Affidavit (Form VP 161) with the DMV to begin the process.

Can I scrap my car if it is missing parts?

Yes, but the offer may be reduced for missing valuable components like engines or catalytic converters.

Do you buy car parts in Reno?

No, we focus on scrapping entire vehicles. Check with local auto recyclers if you’re looking to sell individual parts.

How do I find a reputable junkyard or car scrapper in Reno?

Ask for the facility's recycling license and check reviews online to confirm their reputation and compliance.

The car is dismantled, reusable parts are salvaged, metals are recycled, and hazardous materials are safely disposed of. Over 85% of your vehicle is recycled or reused.
