The group for people who buy junk cars for a living
A free, private Facebook group for junk car buyers, salvage yards, auto recyclers and tow operators. Ask questions, compare notes on pricing and scrap, and talk shop with people who do the same work you do.

What we talk about
Everything that comes with buying cars, from the first phone call to the scale ticket.
Pricing & offers
What are you paying for a non-runner right now? How do you quote over the phone without getting burned?
Scrap values
Steel prices, cat values, and which yards in your area are actually paying.
Towing
Trucks, wheel lifts vs. rollbacks, routing pickups, and finding reliable drivers.
Titles & paperwork
No-title cars, lien releases, state rules, and staying on the right side of the law.
Leads & marketing
Google, Facebook, Craigslist, bandit signs, referrals. What's working and what's burning cash.
Auctions & parts
When to part it out, when to flip it whole, and which auctions are worth your time.
Buyers only
This is a room for people in the business. Keeping it that way is what keeps the conversation useful. If you're here to sell your own car, this isn't the place, and your request won't be approved.
You belong here if you
- Buy junk, used or wrecked cars as a business or side hustle
- Run or work at a salvage yard or recycling operation
- Tow, haul or transport vehicles for buyers and yards
- Are getting started and want to learn from people already doing it
Not a fit
- Selling your personal vehicle
Built for people in the trade
Buying junk cars can be a lonely business. You're quoting prices, chasing titles, dealing with tow schedules and watching scrap prices move, usually without anyone to compare notes with.
I started this group so people in the trade have one place to talk straight: share what's working, warn each other about what isn't, and build stronger businesses together.

Questions
Does it cost anything?
No. The group is free to join.
Why is it private?
So people can talk openly about pricing, sources and what's working in their market without it showing up in public feeds.
I'm just getting started. Can I join?
Yes. If you're buying cars or getting ready to, you're welcome. Ask questions. That's what it's here for.
Can I promote my business?
Share your experience and help others. Spam and nonstop self-promotion get removed so the group stays useful for everyone.
I want to sell my car. Can you buy it?
This group is for buyers only, so personal sellers won't be approved. Search for a local junk car buyer in your area instead.
