Accident damage we buy

Collision damage of every severity.

From front-end impacts to deployed airbags, we value your car for its reusable parts and metal weight.

  1. Front-end collision

    Crushed radiator, bumper damage, engine displacement or bent steering assembly.

  2. Airbag deployment

    Cars written off solely because airbag replacement costs exceed vehicle value.

  3. T-bone & side impact

    Crushed door frames, B-pillar damage, broken glass, or damaged suspension.

  4. Rear-end collisions

    Trunk crush, bent rear axle, broken exhaust, or buckled rear quarter panels.

  5. Frame & structural damage

    Bent unibody or twisted frame that body shops refuse to straighten.

  6. Rollover & roof damage

    Totaled rollover vehicles with structural roof crush or broken pillars.

Total loss options

Total loss payout vs. owner retention.

When an insurance company totals your car, you have the legal right to ‘owner-retain’ the vehicle. The insurance company pays your settlement minus the vehicle’s salvage value, and you keep the salvage vehicle.

Selling the retained vehicle directly to JunkStar often yields more total money in your pocket than accepting the insurer's low salvage buy-back deduction. Tell us the year, make, model and damage, and we’ll give you a firm, guaranteed written offer.

  • You keep the insurance payout check
  • We pay you by check for the physical vehicle at pickup
  • Free flatbed towing from your driveway, storage lot, or repair shop
  • Zero hidden towing or documentation fees

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell a car with a salvage or rebuilt title?
Yes. We regularly buy vehicles with salvage, rebuilt, junk, or certificate of destruction titles. Just disclose the title branding when submitting your details.
What if my wrecked car cannot roll or steer?
That is completely fine. Our local tow operators use winches and dollies to load immobilized, wheel-locked, or non-rolling vehicles safely.
Can you pick up from a tow yard or body shop?
Yes. We can pick up the car directly from an impound lot, tow yard, or repair shop to stop accumulating daily storage fees. You will just need to authorize vehicle release with the facility.
Do I need the title to sell a totaled car?
In most states, yes. If the insurance company didn't take your title, you can sign it over to us. If lost, we'll guide you through your state's duplicate title or bill of sale requirements.
