The Evolution of Junking Cars in Queens

Once upon a time in America, it wasn’t that easy to get rid of a junk car. Beginning in the early to mid-1900’s, Queens salvage yards began popping up across the city. To offload a junk car, most New Yorkers were forced to walk down to the business location to speak with the manager. The front desk person would write down your information into a scheduling book and set up a time for an inspection. Then they got to walk all the way back home.

Days or weeks later, a salvage yard representative would make an appearance to inspect the vehicle and give the customer a low-ball scrap price for their car. Many times, junk yards charged customers to tow their cars away, eating at their bottom line. They could take the deal or leave it, but most took it just to avoid the hassle of getting a second quote.

More than ¾ of a century later, times have changed. All it takes to make an appointment with Junk My Car Queens is a quick local phone call.

Running vehicles garner a fabulous price, but we still give top dollar paid for clunkers – way better than scrap prices!
