Dublin, California Junkyards & Salvage Yards

If you choose to arrange a tax deduction for your junk car donation, you should check with an accountant first to make sure that you’ll be able to accept it. The IRS has special rules which determine who can and who can’t accept a tax deduction when they donate their junk car. If you can’t accept a deduction, Rusty’s can still help you donate your junk car.

Although selling your car to a junkyard is a viable option, it is probably not the best option. The hardest thing about giving your car to a junkyard is transportation. The towing alone often costs more than the value of the car itself. Junkyards also don't always dispose of the car correctly which can cause other problems. If you want a quick and easy way to sell your car, your best bet is to contact one of our agents.

Giving to charity seems like the perfect idea because it helps people and you supposedly get a tax deduction but in reality, it's not the best option. If you really want to donate to charity the best option is to sell your car to us and use the money you get to give to the charity of your choice. This option will ensure that your favorite charity gets the most money possible for your donation.

Hail can do a lot more damage to a car than almost any other type of weather. If the hail is large enough, it can dent your car, and sometimes it can even break windows. If you've got a car that was damaged by a hail storm, just call us up, send some photos over and we'll be happy to offer you a quote. Chances are that we'll still be able to offer a lot of cash for your car.

Smashed windows do not alway reduce the value of your junk car. If your car is in bad condition it may end up being sold for scrap metal, in which case, the broken window will not impact the value of your vehicle. If we can find a buyer to take your car and recondition it, a new windshield is often figured into the recondition plan. Call our agents and describe the glass issue and we can get you a great price on your car.

Selling a car with missing parts can be hard. Most buyers want a car that's completely intact so that they can get the most out of it whether they're planning on driving it or taking it apart. We're not afraid to offer a quote on any car, even if it's incomplete. Just call us and tell us which parts are missing.

It is our preference to pay you with a check that you can immediately deposit and cash at your bank. We do not think that sending the tow truck operator with a large amount of cash is safe for you or them. The sooner you call us to sell your junk car then the faster we can get the process started and done to getting you paid.
