FAQ’s
What is a junkyard?
A junkyard is where old, wrecked, or unwanted vehicles are dismantled and recycled. At Holbrook Auto Parts, it's a neatly organized operation where our techs remove and prep good original parts for reuse fast.
How to sell a car to a junkyard?

- Provide your vehicle info online or by phone (make, model, year, condition). Must have the title.
- Get a fast quote.
- Bring it in or schedule a pickup.
- Get paid on the spot.
How much do junkyards pay for cars in Detroit?
On average, junk car buyers in Detroit, Michigan, pay between $300 and $1,000, but you could get more. It depends on the condition, make, model, year, and whether the vehicle still runs. If it has valuable parts left, it may go for $1,000+, and $2,000+ isn't unusual for running or repairable vehicles. At Holbrook, we pay top dollar for junk cars. Give us a quick call with your vehicle details and we'll quote you right over the phone.
Can I sell my car to a junkyard without the title in Detroit?
No. You'll need the title to sell your car in Michigan. It's the legal proof of ownership. At Holbrook, we know missing titles or other paperwork can be a headache. But don't worry, we've got your back. Give us a call and we'll let you know what's possible based on your situation. Our experienced team handles these situations all the time and will walk you through each step so selling your car to our junkyard is easy and hassle-free.
How do junkyards work?
A junkyard buys an unwanted or wrecked vehicle, then salvages and sells the usable components. Self-service (aka “U-pull-it”) yards typically charge a small entry fee. You bring your tools and pull the part yourself. Full-service yards like Holbrook handle all the work for you. We pull, prep, inspect, and test parts where applicable so you don't have to bring tools or get dirty.
Can you buy cars from a junkyard?
Most junkyards, including Holbrook, don't retail whole vehicles to the public. Those vehicles become donors for reliable used OEM parts that help keep other cars on the road at a reasonable cost.
