Key takeaways
- Here are 10 junk car buyers in Phoenix that pay cash for cars, all of them listed below with addresses and phone numbers.
- Six of the ten are on Broadway Road or Buckeye Road, and two of those are literally next door to each other at 2532 and 2524 West Broadway. Phoenix is the easiest city on this list to collect four quotes without driving anywhere.
- Reeves Auto Wrecking leads with "We Buy Used Cars", which is a rarity here: most Phoenix yards are parts operations that will also take your vehicle if you ask. Start with the one whose business is the thing you want.
- Match the car to the buyer. 1st Choice works in European makes, I-17 in Lexus and Toyota, and Arizona Auto Parts in trucks. A specialist in your make sees value a general yard prices as weight.
- Arizona wants a sold notice within 10 days. File it with the MVD as soon as the car leaves, because until you do the plate and the vehicle are still tied to you. The plate itself comes off and stays with you.

The right one depends on what your car is, where you are in the valley, 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. Our side of it, for comparison, is our cash for junk cars service.

How do you sell a junk car for cash in Phoenix?
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.
- 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, and in Phoenix that costs you almost nothing. Reeves and Riteway are next door to each other on West Broadway, 1st Choice is a few blocks away, and two more sit on Buckeye Road. Four calls, no driving, and an instant cash offer online gives you a fifth in about two minutes.
- 3
Compare after towing
None of the ten publishes free towing as a flat policy, so this is the first question rather than the last. 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 plate
Title signed over, bill of sale for your records, plate off before the truck leaves. In Arizona the plate stays with you rather than the car and can be transferred to your next vehicle.
- 5
Get paid first, then file the sold notice
Payment confirmed before the junk vehicle is loaded, then cancel the insurance. File the sold notice with the Arizona MVD within 10 days, because until you do the vehicle is still tied to your name and your plate.
Before the truck arrives: have your title and photo ID ready, remove the plate, take out your belongings, and don't cancel insurance until the car is gone.
Phoenix junk car selling questions
Who buys junk cars for cash in Phoenix?
All ten buyers on this page pay cash for junk cars, and wrecked, non-running and totaled vehicles are routine for every one of them. Reeves Auto Wrecking on West Broadway leads with buying cars rather than selling parts. Arizona Auto Parts and Pull N Save are the highest-volume operations, 1st Choice covers European makes and I-17 covers Lexus and Toyota. Riteway, U-Pull-&-Pay, Phoenix Salvage, Precision and ODR complete the list.
Where are Phoenix's junk car buyers?
Densely clustered, which is unusual and useful. Broadway Road south of downtown holds Reeves, Riteway, 1st Choice, Phoenix Salvage and Precision between them, with Reeves and Riteway literally next door at 2532 and 2524 West Broadway. Buckeye Road holds Arizona Auto Parts and U-Pull-&-Pay, and South 27th Avenue holds Pull N Save and ODR. I-17 Used Auto Parts is the outlier, up on North 24th Avenue in the far north valley.
Will a Phoenix junk car buyer tow my car for free?
None of the ten publishes free towing as a flat policy, which makes it the first thing to ask rather than an afterthought. Several offer pickup on request, but the terms are not stated, and a buyer that tows as a courtesy usually takes the cost back out of your offer. The number that matters is the net cash figure you are handed once the car is gone.
What paperwork do I need to junk a car in Arizona?
The Arizona title signed over to the buyer, your photo ID, and a bill of sale you keep a copy of. Remove your plate before the truck leaves, because in Arizona it stays with you rather than the car. Then file the sold notice with the MVD within 10 days, which is the step people skip: until it is filed, the vehicle is still tied to your name and your plate. Cancel the insurance after pickup, not before. The full checklist is in what you need to sell a car to a junkyard.
Does the make of my car change who I should call in Phoenix?
Yes, more than you would expect in a city this size. 1st Choice Auto Parts on West Broadway specializes in European and international vehicles, so a BMW, Mercedes, Audi or Volvo belongs on that call before any general yard. I-17 Used Auto Parts focuses on Lexus, Toyota, Infiniti, Ford and Chevy. Arizona Auto Parts on Buckeye Road is strongest on trucks. Matching the vehicle to the buyer costs nothing and it moves the number.
Should I call more than one Phoenix junk car buyer?
Yes, and Phoenix makes it easier than almost anywhere. Six of the ten are on Broadway Road or Buckeye Road, and two are next door to each other, so four quotes is a few phone calls and no driving. Ask each for the net amount after towing rather than the headline figure, and lead with the make and model, because the specialists here price the same car differently to the general yards.
