What happens to my car after I sell it?

Selling your car to Pull-A-Part or U-Pull-&-Pay is the environmentally responsible way to recycle your old car.  Upon buying your vehicle, we make it ready for display on our salvage yard.  This typically includes removal and recycling of fluids as well as processing of some metals.

From there, your vehicle will be placed on the yard so that our do-it-yourself parts customers can pull the parts they need.

After a while, your vehicle completes the recycling process, where it is flattened, and shipped to metal buyers.

In some instances, vehicles we obtain are in such road ready condition, that they may qualify for re-sale as used vehicles.  If so, locations that sell used vehicles may place them on the lot for purchase and on-road use instead of placing them on the yard for do-it-yourself parts customers.

In most cases, more than 95% of the vehicle you sell to Pull-A-Part or U-Pull-&-Pay gets repurposed or recycled.

If you would like to see how much money we will buy your vehicle for, you can get a free online quote at any time by using our Get-A-Quote tool.
