I’m Al, and I’ve been buying junk cars right here in Maitland for over 15 years. This quiet suburb between Orlando and Winter Park has always been one of my favorite areas to work. The tree-lined streets and all those lakefront properties make every pickup different. Lots of folks here have lived in the same house for decades, and I’ve helped plenty of families finally clear out that old car that’s been parked in the garage or driveway for way too long. Whether you’re near one of the lakes or close to I-4, I’ll come to you with cash in hand. No games, no hassle. Just honest service from someone who knows Maitland.
I’ve been buying junk cars all over Orange County for more than 15 years now, and Maitland is one of my favorite places to work. The folks here are straight shooters, and I try to be the same. You call me, I give you a real quote over the phone, and I come get your car the same day if that works for you. Free towing always. I know these lakeside streets pretty well by now, and I know how much it matters to get an old junker off your property when you’re trying to keep your place looking nice.
I’m not picky. A blown engine doesn’t scare me off. Bad transmission, major wreck, flood damage from one of those summer storms we get, I still want it. Rusty frame, cracked block, totaled out by insurance, fire damage, whatever you’ve got. No title? We can work through that in most cases. If it’s been behind your garage for three years, that’s fine. If it’s up on blocks in your carport near the lake, I’ll finally get it out of there for you. I buy all makes and models and years. Old Buicks, newer Hondas, diesels, luxury cars that cost too much to fix. Bring it on.
You call me and we talk for maybe two minutes. You tell me what you’ve got, I ask a few questions about the condition, and I give you a quote right there. No wait for callbacks or some computer system. If you like the number, we set up a time. I can usually get to Maitland the same day or next morning. My driver shows up with a tow truck and the cash. You hand over the keys and the title if you have it, he hands you the money, and we load up the car. Takes about fifteen minutes. No paperwork run-around, no hidden fees that show up later, no games. Just honest business.
Compact cars usually run between 150 and 350 dollars based on weight and what’s still good on them. Midsized sedans bring anywhere from 250 to 500. SUVs tend to be heavier, so you’re looking at 300 to 700 most of the time. Trucks can go from 400 up to 900 or more if it’s a big one. Scrap metal prices move around, but as of April 2026 we’re at about 175 dollars per ton here in Florida. That’s the baseline. If your car runs or has valuable parts, you get more. I price fairly because I want you to call me again when your neighbor needs a car gone.
I’m local and I’m staying local. I’m not some national chain that sends a different contractor every time. It’s been me and my family for over 15 years. When I give you a quote, that’s what you get when my driver shows up. No bait and switch. I live here too, and my reputation matters to me more than an extra twenty bucks. You want your old clunker gone fast and you want honest cash for it (689) 334-2821
