Every junkyard, salvage yard, auto wrecker and junk dealer in Florida with at least one review, by category, not by keyword.
Closed and stale listings dropped, duplicate phone numbers and addresses merged, the website cleaned of tracking links.
Each business's website was read for what it buys, whether towing is free, title rules, parts sales and hours. A claim is marked only when the yard states it.
Yards that confirm they buy junk cars are listed first, then by Google rating and review count. Paid positions are always labeled.
Every listing started as a Google Maps business in one of four categories: junkyard, salvage yard, auto wrecker or junk dealer. We kept the ones that are open, have at least one Google review and were updated in the last year, merged duplicates by phone and address, and kept tow companies and other trades that carry one of those labels only when their own website shows they buy junk cars.
We then read each yard's website. Free towing, same-day pickup, no-title purchases, cash at pickup, used parts and self-service rows are marked only when the business states them on its own pages; when a site says nothing, the listing says "no information yet" rather than guessing. Ratings are Google's. We do not verify licenses, insurance or prices, and no listing is an endorsement. Owners can claim and correct a listing for free, and a person checks every claim before anything changes.

Selling a junk car in Florida is a short job if you know what kind of yard you are calling, what paperwork the state expects from you, and what a yard may do with a car that has no title.
The listings here fall into four kinds. Cash-for-cars buyers send a truck, pay at pickup and handle the paperwork; most have no yard to visit. Salvage yards buy wrecks and end-of-life cars and sell used parts from them. Self-service yards, often called u-pull-it, charge a small entry fee and let you remove parts with your own tools; they buy cars too. Scrap metal recyclers take the stripped shell by weight. Each listing shows the services the business states on its own website, so you can match the yard to the job before you dial.
Florida puts two duties on the seller. Complete the Transfer of Title by Seller section on the front of the title, with the buyer's name and address, the odometer reading, the price and the date. Then file a Notice of Sale, form HSMV 82050, with your county tax collector within 30 days; FLHSMV says that filing removes your registration from the vehicle and helps you avoid civil liability for what happens to the car afterward. The buyer then has 30 days to apply for a new title or pay a $20 late fee. Take your license plate off the car; in Florida the plate stays with the seller.
A yard that advertises "no title, no problem" is working within one rule. Florida lets a licensed salvage motor vehicle dealer or a registered secondary metals recycler take a derelict motor vehicle without a title on form HSMV 82137, but only when the vehicle is worth under $1,000 and is at least ten model years old; the yard must report it to the national title database and hold it three business days. Anything newer or worth more needs a title, a salvage title or a certificate of destruction, and a lost title is replaced with form HSMV 82101 at the tax collector.
The service tiles on a listing show what the business states on its own site; a muted line lists what it does not say, which is a gap in a website, not a mark against the yard. Two questions settle the rest on the first call: is the towing free or does it come out of the offer, and how and when will I be paid? A scrap recycler cannot pay cash above $1,000 and cannot pay cash at all for a catalytic converter.
Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and storm surge is what puts cars under salt water. A car flooded to the engine or electrical system carries a flood brand on its Florida title; a yard can still buy it for parts or scrap, but not at a running-car price. Salt air on both coasts corrodes metal faster, so a coastal yard asks about frame rust before it quotes.
Sometimes. A licensed salvage dealer or registered scrap recycler can take a derelict motor vehicle without a title on form HSMV 82137, but only if it is worth under $1,000 and at least ten model years old. Anything newer or worth more needs a title, a salvage title or a certificate of destruction. The listings mark the yards that say they buy with no title.
Sign the Transfer of Title by Seller section on the title, then file a Notice of Sale, form HSMV 82050, with your county tax collector within 30 days. That filing removes your registration from the vehicle and limits your liability for what happens to it afterward. Keep your license plate; it stays with you.
Many cash-for-cars buyers pay at pickup by cash or check, and the listings mark the ones that state it. Scrap recyclers are different: Florida caps cash payments for scrap at $1,000 and bars cash entirely for a catalytic converter.
Often, not always. Free towing is marked on a listing when the yard states it on its own website. If a listing does not show it, ask before you accept, since a tow fee can come out of the price.
A salvage yard buys wrecked and end-of-life vehicles and usually sells used parts from them over the counter. A u-pull-it charges a small entry fee and lets you remove parts yourself with your own tools. Many businesses do both.
Paid featured positions come first and are labeled. Then yards that confirm on their own website that they buy junk cars, then the rest, each group by Google rating weighted by review count. Nothing else moves a listing up.
Listing is free. Use the claim page with your business name and the phone number on your Google listing. A person checks every claim against the website domain or that number before the directory is rebuilt. Featured and premium placements are separate and always marked as paid.
