Do you buy damaged and non-running cars?
Yes. HM Auto Parts & Recycle buys cars, trucks and vans in any condition. Whether your vehicle was in an accident or has simply worn out over time, we will make you a fair offer.
Do you charge for towing?
No, pickup is free. We come to you with our own flatbed truck and haul the vehicle away at no cost to you, whether it runs or not.
How do you determine the value of my junk car?
We consider several factors, including your vehicle's age, make, model and condition, and whether any parts can be salvaged. A newer, more functional vehicle will generally receive a higher offer than one that is older and no longer runs.
Which parts of the car do you recycle?
We recycle everything from engines and transmissions to air conditioning systems and batteries. Even a vehicle with major damage may still hold value.
What documents do I need?
When you sell your vehicle to HM Auto Parts & Recycle, please have the following ready:
- A valid driver's license
- Proof of insurance
- A copy of the vehicle's registration
These documents help us verify ownership and keep the sale quick and smooth. Please also let us know whether you have the title.
What if I do not have the title?
Please let us know when you request your quote, either by selecting “No” on the form or by mentioning it when you call. We will explain what is needed for your situation.
How long does the process take?
Selling your vehicle to us is quick and easy. Call, text or fill out the quote form to receive an offer. Once your paperwork is in order, we arrange a convenient time and pick up the vehicle for free with our own flatbed truck. The entire process can often be completed in just a few hours.
How do I get paid?
You receive cash on the spot when we pick up your vehicle.
Do you buy trucks, SUVs and vans?
Yes. We buy cars, pickup trucks, SUVs and vans, whether they run or not.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Chester County and Delaware County, Pennsylvania, including West Chester, Coatesville, Kennett Square, Oxford, Nottingham and Media, as well as Elkton, Maryland. If you are not sure whether we cover your town, call or text us at (484) 487-1067.
How should I prepare for the pickup?
Remove your personal belongings, including anything in the glove box and trunk, as well as any toll transponder such as E-ZPass. In Pennsylvania, the license plate stays with you rather than the vehicle, so plan to remove it before the sale. Have your documents ready, and we will take care of the rest.
When is the best time to sell my car?
If your car is starting to break down, it is wise to sell it soon. The older a car gets and the more strain it is under, the more its value declines. Acting promptly helps you get the most for your vehicle. Contact us today to receive an offer.
