I’m Al, and I’ve been buying junk cars right here in Altamonte Springs for over 15 years. This city keeps me busy. Between all the apartment complexes near the mall and the working families trying to keep older vehicles running, I see plenty of cars that just need to retire.
The people here are straightforward. They know when a car’s done, and they want fair money without the runaround. That’s what I do. No games, no lowball offers when I show up. I quote you a price over the phone, and that’s what you get when I pick up your vehicle.
Been serving Seminole County since day one. Family business, local guy, and I actually answer my phone.
I’ve been picking up junk cars all over Altamonte Springs for more than fifteen years now. From the apartment complexes off SR-436 to the neighborhoods around Altamonte Mall, I know every street in this town. My family business covers all of Seminole County, but I’ve made hundreds of trips to Altamonte Springs because there’s always someone with a dead car taking up space. I come out the same day you call, I bring my tow truck, and I hand you cash right there. You don’t pay a dime for the tow.
I don’t care what’s wrong with your car. Blown engine? I’ll take it. Transmission gave up on I-4 and you limped it home? I’ll take it. Wrecked in a parking lot fender bender or flooded during one of those summer storms we get every afternoon in Florida? I’ll still take it. No title because you lost it years ago or the car’s been sitting behind your apartment building since 2019? Not a problem. I buy every make, every model, every year. Honda Civic with 300,000 miles, Ford pickup that won’t start, Chevy SUV with a cracked frame, Toyota that’s been rusting in your driveway. I’ve seen worse, I promise you that.
You call me and tell me what you’ve got. Takes about two minutes. I ask the year, make, model, and what’s wrong with it. Then I give you a price right there, no waiting around for some manager to approve it. You say yes, I ask where you are in Altamonte Springs and when you want me to come. Most of the time I can get there the same day. My driver shows up with the tow truck and the cash. You sign the title over, we load up the car, I hand you the money. The whole thing takes maybe fifteen minutes. No hidden fees, no last-minute price drops, no nonsense. What I quote is what you get.
A compact car like a Corolla or Accord usually runs between $150 and $350 depending on the condition and weight. Mid-size sedans go for $250 to $500. SUVs bring in more, typically $300 to $700 because there’s more metal on them. Pickup trucks are the heavy hitters, anywhere from $400 to $900 if they’re full-size. Right now scrap metal in Florida is running about $175 per ton as of April 2026, and that’s what drives these prices. Your car might be worth more if it’s got parts I can sell, but even if it’s totaled I’m still paying for the scrap weight.
A lot of national companies will quote you one price and show up with less. I’ve heard the stories a hundred times from people in Altamonte Springs who got burned before they found me. I’m local, I’m a family business, and I’ve been doing this for fifteen years the same way. When I give you a number, that’s the number. No games, no bait and switch. My reputation in this town matters more to me than squeezing an extra twenty bucks out of you. People around Altamonte Mall and the Douglas Avenue area know my name because I do what I say. If you’ve got a junk car sitting there and you want it gone today for cash, go ahead and (689) 334-2821
