Why People Choose to Scrap Cars & Trucks
Scrapping isn’t just about getting rid of an old vehicle – it’s about saving money, space, and the environment.
Common Reasons to Scrap a Vehicle
- Engine failure or blown head gasket
- Accident-damaged beyond repair
- High repair bills that exceed vehicle value
- Expired registration or insurance issues
- Upgrading to a newer model

Signs It’s Time to Scrap Instead of Repair
- The cost of repairs is higher than the car’s worth
- The vehicle has been declared “written-off” by insurance
- Rust or body damage compromises safety
Scrapping Car at a Dealership vs Scrap Yard
Many people first consider trading their car at a dealership. But here’s the truth: dealerships don’t want junk cars.
Why Most Car Dealers Avoid Junk Cars
Dealerships focus on vehicles they can resell. A car that doesn’t run has almost zero resale value, so offers usually range from $0–$100.
Trade-in Value vs Scrap Value
At 360 Pro Auto, we evaluate your car for its parts and scrap metal, not resale potential. That’s why we can pay up to $15,000, even when dealers turn you away.
Is It Worth Fixing a Scrap Car Before Selling?
Many ask if repairing a scrap car can increase its value.
Engine Repairs: Cost vs Value
If your scrap car is valued at $100 and you spend $500 on repairs, the dealership might only raise the offer to $300. That’s losing money.
When Fixing Makes Sense
Only consider repairs if:
- It’s a fairly new vehicle with minor issues
- You plan to keep driving it yourself
Otherwise, selling to 360 Pro Auto saves you time and cash.
