What happens after the car is picked up?

After your car is picked up, the process moves quickly and smoothly behind the scenes. Our driver will transport the vehicle directly to our licensed recycling facility. Once it arrives, we record the VIN, verify the title paperwork, and log it into our system to confirm the sale.

From there, the vehicle is assessed for usable parts, fluids are drained safely, and recyclable materials are separated. We remove valuable components such as engines, transmissions, wheels, and catalytic converters for reuse or resale. The remaining shell is processed for metal recycling, where it is crushed and prepared for shipment to a steel mill.

You will receive a bill of sale and payment confirmation, which means your part of the process is complete. You are no longer responsible for the vehicle in any way.

We take pride in recycling vehicles the right way. Every car is handled according to state and federal environmental standards to ensure that nothing hazardous ends up in landfills. Selling your junk car to 603 Auto Salvage is not just about getting cash — it is also about supporting responsible automotive recycling that protects our community.
