Thinking about dropping off your car at a junkyard? Here are some tips so you don’t feel ripped off:
#1 Do Your Research

#2 Prepare Your Vehicle
Before handing over the car to us, please take out all your stuff. There’s no need to clean or wash; we handle every junk car the same. You can also remove the license plate, but it’s entirely your choice.
#3 Gather the Necessary Documentation
To ensure everything’s on the up and up, please provide a title or bill of sale under your name and a valid ID when selling to us.
#4 Be Honest About the Vehicle’s Issues
Selling to us? For the sweetest deal, keep us posted on important parts and if they’re up to par. Any curveballs during our check can affect the final offer.

What is the Difference Between a Junk Car & Used Car?
A junk car can be a lot of things, but typically a vehicle that costs more to repair than it’s worth is a junker. Crashed cars, cars missing parts, a car that won’t run all fall under the umbrella of junk cars. Furthermore, if your vehicle doesn’t have resale value, it’s likely a junk car.
Used cars on the other hand do have resale value and are often in good driving condition. Used cars can have minor body or mechanical issues and still have worth, especially if any issues are addressed. SUYC buys used cars and makes fair market offers for them. Reach out for a quote!

About Tempe
Alright, let’s talk about Tempe. You’ve probably heard it gets super hot there, right? Well, that’s true, and that desert sun can give your car a hard time. Imagine baking in a 100-degree heat; your car feels it too. You’ve got to watch out for things like the car battery, your tire pressure, and make sure that engine doesn’t cook. If Tempe’s going to be home, regular pit stops for your ride are a must. Trust me, you don’t want your car giving up in the middle of a sizzling day.
And speaking of the sun, folks in Tempe have a trick: window tinting. Arizona rules say window tints can let in about 33% of sunlight. Pro tip: throw on sun shades when you park. Keeps the inside from turning into an oven.
Now, when summer rolls around, Tempe gets these wild storms called monsoons. From June to September, rain can pour down like crazy. Streets? They can get as slippery as a water slide. So, having good tires, wipers that work, and solid driving skills for rain? That’s the ticket.
Thinking of getting your car legit in Arizona? Here’s the deal. You gotta have the car in your name. And if you’re bringing in a car from another state, you’ll need a quick check-up and insurance proof.
Got an older car? If you’re in Maricopa County, where Tempe’s at, you might need to get it tested for emissions. Mainly, if it’s a gas one from after 1967 and not too heavy.
Traffic jams? Yep, Tempe gets them too. It’s not New York-level crazy, but there are times when things get tight, especially during rush hour. The US 60? Oh boy, that one can be a beast.
If you’re heading to Downtown Tempe, parking’s got a bit better over time. But when something big’s happening, like near Arizona State or Tempe Town Lake, you might have to circle a bit for a spot.
Car buffs, Tempe’s got something for you too. While it’s not hosting giant car shows like Scottsdale next door, there’s this cool hangout called Cars and Coffee. If cars are your thing, you’ll fit right in.
One more thing – electric cars are getting popular in Tempe. You’ll spot more places to charge them. And if you’ve got that special Arizona license plate for eco-friendly rides, those fast lanes on the highway? They’re all yours.
So, while Tempe’s got some vibes similar to its big brother Phoenix, driving there’s got its own feel. Hope you’re geared up for the ride!
