Tips & Warnings
If you cannot find a salvage yard in your immediate area that buys broken cars, broaden the location area to your state. There are usually several salvage places that operate all over a state.
Most salvage yards will tow your car for free. Be wary if someone indicates they want to charge you, even a small amount, to tow your car.
