Sell Your Wrecked Car in Rochester, NY

Wrecked cars we buy in Rochester

Insurance lowballing your wrecked car? Get a competing offer from JunkUrCar — most of our sellers walk away with more than their insurance payout.

Our Rochester buyer network specializes in wrecked vehicles. Whether the car sits in your driveway in Monroe County or on a side street downtown, we send a flatbed at no cost to you.

We buy wrecked cars in any condition

Front-end collision, rear-end damage, rollovers, deployed airbags, frame bent, flood-totaled — if it's wrecked, we'll make an offer.

You don't need to repair anything. We tow it from where it sits, including impound lots and body shops (with the right paperwork).

Insurance payout vs. our offer

Insurance companies use book value minus deductible. We use a parts-and-scrap valuation that often beats the insurance check, especially for trucks, SUVs, and late-model vehicles with reusable parts.

It's always worth getting both numbers and taking the higher one.

Can I sell if it's in an impound lot?

Yes — in many cases. You'll need authorization from the lot owner and your title or registration. Contact us first and we can often coordinate the release directly.

• 2015–2020 Ford F150

  The 2015 F-150 EcoBoost 3.5L develops timing chain stretch and turbo wastegate failure by 100k.

• 2007–2013 Chevrolet Silverado

  2007 Silverados with AFM 5.3L V8s commonly drop a lifter and wipe the cam — a $4,000+ repair on a truck worth less. Rear-cab corner rust is also widespread.

• 2014–2019 Chevrolet Silverado

  2014 Silverado 5.3L AFM lifter failure remains the leading kill, joined by AC condenser leaks and 8-speed transmission shudder.

• 1999–2004 Honda Odyssey

  1999 Odysseys are best known for 4-speed automatic failure between 80k–120k miles — Honda extended warranty but most owners face out-of-pocket replacement.

• 2005–2010 Honda Odyssey

  2005 Odyssey 3.5L V6 with VCM eats rear motor mounts, burns oil through stuck rings, and the 5-speed automatic continues to fail around 120k.

• 2002–2009 Toyota Camry

  2002 Camrys with the 2AZ-FE 2.4L are oil burners; stripped head bolts and blown head gaskets end most of them by 180k.
