FAQs

Emporia Auto Salvage

  • What types of vehicles do you buy?

    We purchase all vehicle types including cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans. We accept any make, model, or year, regardless of condition. Running or non-running, wrecked, flooded, or simply aged vehicles are all eligible for an offer.
  • Do I need a title to sell my junk car in Virginia?

    Yes. A valid title is required for us to complete the purchase of your vehicle. If you no longer have your title, you can obtain a replacement title directly from the DMV.
  • How much cash will I get for my junk car?

    Your offer is based on the year, make, and model of your vehicle. The quote we provide is guaranteed, meaning the amount you accept over the phone or online is exactly what you'll receive in cash when our driver arrives.
  • Is towing actually free, and how quickly can you pick it up?

    Yes, towing is completely free with no hidden fees or charges deducted from your cash offer. As a local business serving Greensville & Richmond County, VA and surrounding areas, we typically schedule same-day or next-day pickup. We take care of everything, so you won't have to pay anything to transport an inoperable vehicle.
  • How fast can you pick up my car?

    We typically offer same-day pickup in most situations. Based on your location and availability, we can often pick up your vehicle within hours after you accept our offer.
  • How do I get paid?

    Payment is made in cash immediately upon pickup of your vehicle. There's no waiting for checks to clear or bank transfers to process—you receive cash in hand on the spot.
  • What happens to my car after you buy it?

    Your vehicle will either be salvaged for reusable parts or recycled in an environmentally responsible manner. We comply with all environmental regulations to ensure proper disposal of hazardous materials and recycling of metals.
  • Will you buy my car if it has a blown engine or doesn't run?

    Yes. We purchase vehicles that traditional buyers typically won't accept. Whether your vehicle has a blown engine, transmission issues, collision damage, or failed Virginia emissions inspection (DEQ), we'll buy it. Flat tires, dead batteries, and missing keys don't disqualify your vehicle—simply inform us of its condition so we can send the appropriate tow truck.
  • Do I need to be home when the tow truck arrives?

    Yes, you must be present to complete the necessary paperwork and receive payment for the sale to be finalized. However, you don't need to remain on-site during the actual vehicle removal.
