One call, free same-day pickup, and $100-$15,000 cash in your hand. That's the whole process.

If you're wondering where to junk your car around Seattle, you have three real options: haul it to a junkyard yourself, hand it to a national online middleman, or sell it directly to a local licensed buyer.
Junkyards make you bring the car in — a problem when it doesn't run. Online middlemen quote you a price, then broker your car to a local buyer and keep the difference. Selling direct to Eastside Junk Cars skips both problems: we come to you anywhere in Seattle or King County, towing is free, and the full payment goes to you, in cash, at pickup.

Where can I junk my car near Seattle?
You have three options: haul it to a junkyard yourself (you'll need a running car or pay for towing), use a national middleman service (they broker your car to a local buyer and keep a cut), or sell directly to a local licensed buyer like us. Selling direct means free pickup at your location anywhere in Seattle or King County and cash on the spot—no towing costs, no middleman fee.
How much do you get when you junk a car?
In the Seattle area, junk cars typically pay $100-$15,000 depending on year, make, model, and condition. Complete older sedans usually land in the low hundreds; trucks and SUVs typically bring $500-$2,500+; newer wrecked vehicles with airbag or drivetrain value can go much higher. Call (425) 246-4561 for an exact quote in about 2 minutes.
Can I junk a car that doesn't run?
Yes—most cars we junk don't run. Dead battery, seized engine, wrecked, flooded, missing wheels, or sitting in the same spot for years: our trucks are equipped to load it from your driveway, garage, or apartment lot at no charge.
Can I junk my car without a title?
Usually, yes. In Washington all you need is your valid ID plus an instant DMV document: a notarized Release of Interest (can be free) or an Affidavit in Lieu of Title ($18). It adds about 10-15 minutes to pickup and doesn't reduce what we pay.
What paperwork do I need to junk a car in Washington?
Bring your ID and the title if you have it (we handle no-title sales too). We take care of the DOL paperwork at pickup—just remember to keep your license plates.
