By Clunqr Team, Clunqr Benchmark Data · Updated September 24, 2026 · 8 Dallas buyers, checked against physical addresses and seller reviews
Looking for a junk car buyer in Dallas that pays cash for cars? Here are 8 of them, with phone numbers, from Dowdy Ferry Road and South Central Expressway out to Grand Prairie. All eight pay cash for junk cars, including wrecked, non-running and totaled vehicles. We compared each on what they want in a vehicle, whether they collect it, how fast they pay, and what to sort out before you book a pickup.
Key takeaways
- Here are 8 junk car buyers in Dallas that pay cash for cars, all of them listed below with addresses and phone numbers.
- CFC Recycling is the one that publishes a pickup service, and sellers name a driver who turned up on time and explained the process. Ask everyone else who pays for the tow before you agree a price.
- Two of the eight sit on the same road. CFC and Vazquez are both on Dowdy Ferry Road in southeast Dallas, a couple of minutes apart, so that is two quotes for one phone session.
- Ratings here run wider than in most cities, from 4.8 down to 3.2. The rating column below is doing real work, so read it before you call rather than after the truck arrives.
- Texas wants the transfer filed. Sign the title over, pull your plates, and file the vehicle transfer notification with the TxDMV within 30 days, or the car is still pointing at you.
We buy junk cars in Dallas too, so read this knowing that. Get our number first, then call two or three of the buyers below. We think we will win on price and on not wasting your afternoon. If somebody beats us, take it.

Backed by the Clunqr Guarantee
The price you accept is the price you're paid, towing across the Dallas metro is free, and your phone number and address stay private until you choose who takes the car.

Here Are 8 of the Best Junk Car Buyers in Dallas
All eight buy junk cars for cash, and we don't rank them. Search junkyards near me in Dallas and you get a map full of pins with no way to tell which ones buy vehicles, so this is that list. The right one depends on what your car is, which side of the metro you are on, and how fast you need it gone. Wrecked, non-running and totaled cars and trucks are routine for every buyer here. Call two or three, because the quotes you get back will not be the same.

Hours, service areas, towing terms and paperwork rules change often. Confirm the details, and the net amount you'll be handed, before you schedule a pickup.
How do you sell a junk car for cash in Dallas?
The sequence is the same whichever buyer you use. Describe the car accurately, gather more than one number, compare what you net after towing, sign the title over, and take payment before the car leaves. For the state-by-state version of the paperwork, see selling a junk car for cash.
- 1
Write down the truth about the car
Year, make, model, mileage, condition, what runs and what is missing. Selling your car goes wrong when a buyer finds a surprise on site, because that is what gets the offer cut in the driveway.
- 2
Get more than one quote
Never work from a single number. CFC and Vazquez are both on Dowdy Ferry Road minutes apart, and All Discount and Affordable are both in Grand Prairie, so two pairs of competing quotes come from two phone sessions. An instant cash offer online gives you another in about two minutes.
- 3
Compare after towing
CFC Recycling is the one publishing a pickup service. Nobody else publishes towing terms, and a courtesy tow usually comes back out of your offer, so ask every one of them for the net cash figure you'll be handed.
- 4
Sign the title, pull the plates
Title signed over, bill of sale for your records, plates off before the truck leaves. Texas plates stay with you rather than the car.
- 5
Get paid first, then file the transfer
Payment confirmed before the junk vehicle is loaded, then cancel the insurance. File the TxDMV vehicle transfer notification within 30 days so anything the new owner does stops coming back to you.
Before the truck arrives: have your title and photo ID ready, remove the plates, take out your belongings, and don't cancel insurance until the car is gone.
Dallas junk car selling questions
Who buys junk cars for cash in Dallas?
All eight buyers on this page pay cash for junk cars, and wrecked, non-running and totaled vehicles are routine for every one of them. CFC Recycling on Dowdy Ferry Road publishes a pickup service and holds the best rating here at 4.8. Bill Jones on South Central Expressway, Vazquez on Dowdy Ferry, Cowboy on Myrtle Springs, Auto City on Skyfrost and AAA on South Beltline cover Dallas proper, with All Discount and Affordable out in Grand Prairie.
Where are Dallas's junk car buyers?
Mostly southeast and west. Dowdy Ferry Road in southeast Dallas holds CFC Recycling and Vazquez Auto Parts a couple of minutes apart, with Auto City on Skyfrost Drive and AAA on South Beltline in the same general direction. Bill Jones sits on South Central Expressway and Cowboy is northwest on Myrtle Springs Avenue. All Discount and Affordable are both in Grand Prairie, which is the call to make if you are out toward the mid-cities.
Will a Dallas junk car buyer tow my car for free?
CFC Recycling on Dowdy Ferry Road publishes a pickup service, and sellers describe a driver arriving on time and explaining the process. The other seven do not publish towing terms, so ask, because a buyer that tows as a courtesy usually takes the cost back out of your offer. In a metro this spread out, that deduction is larger than most sellers expect, so ask for the net figure.
What paperwork do I need to junk a car in Texas?
The Texas title signed over to the buyer, your photo ID, and a bill of sale you keep a copy of. Remove your plates before the truck leaves, because in Texas the plates stay with you. Then file the vehicle transfer notification with the TxDMV within 30 days, which is the step people skip: until it is filed, the car is still associated with you. Cancel the insurance after pickup rather than before. The full checklist is in what you need to sell a car to a junkyard.
Does the rating of a Dallas junkyard actually matter?
Here more than in most cities, because the spread is wide. The buyers on this page run from 4.8 down to 3.2, and the one with the most reviews has the lowest score. That does not make it a bad option, plenty of people have sold there, but it does mean the experience varies more, so get the offer amount, pickup timing and payment method confirmed in writing before you commit. At the top end, the reviews describe drivers who arrive when they said they would.
Should I call more than one Dallas junk car buyer?
Yes, and the geography gives you two easy pairs. CFC and Vazquez sit on the same stretch of Dowdy Ferry Road, and All Discount and Affordable are both in Grand Prairie, so you can get competing quotes without driving anywhere. Ask each for the net amount after towing rather than the headline figure, and mention the make early, because at least one yard here has real depth in Japanese and Korean vehicles.
