When the driver arrived, he checked to see if my van had a catalytic converter. He said it had an aftermarketpart, and he could not give me the agreed upon price of $430, but would give me $150.This, or any other part, was NEVER communicated to me, as a necessary part for our agreed upon price. If it was necessary, I should have beentold that the offer was contingent on this. (BTW - I have no records of any CC work ever being done).The whole process seemed to be nothing more than a "bait-and-switch" attempt.I will definitely... read more
Business response:
<p>I am sorry you had an issue with your local buyer. Our website does have multiple large, prominant disclaimers that if the catalytic converter is missing or has been replaced, the may change. So, this was communicated to you.</p><p>The question is really whether or not the converter was actually replaced or not, as you seem to imply it was not. We are gathering photos from the buyer to investigate this further. If it is proven the converter was original and OEM, we will be sure to make good on the agreed upon offer.</p>
From start to a couple burps by buyer (not clunker junker) finish was an easy process. Clunker Junker was efficient, friendly, and helpful through the process. Thank you again.
Business response:
Thank you very much for your honest feedback, we greatly appreciate it!
I am absolutely livid with Clunker Junker and their deceitful practices. They offered me a fair price online for my car, which I've owned for 17 years and maintained meticulously. However, when the driver arrived, he falsely claimed that the catalytic converter had been changed, which was a blatant lie. No such work has ever been done on my car.This is a classic bait and switch tactic. They lure you in with an attractive offer and then try to lowball you with false claims. It's dishonest and unethical. NO ONE SHOULD USE THIS... read more
Business response:
<p>Hello, I'm sorry you had a poor experience with your local buyer. Please keep in mind "The Clunker Junker" is a broker for a local buyer and does not make decisions such as whether a catalytic converter is original or not. This is solely an action taken by a fully independent third party. In this specific case, we are actually two companies removed from the local buyer, as this vehicle was sold through one or our partners "Peddle". I would consider leaving your review on the Peddle BBB page.<br /> With that said, we are h... read more
Deceptive and dishonest business practices. Offered one price, lowered significantly when they came to pick it up even though company knew it wasn't running.
Business response:
<p>Hello, I am very sorry for the trouble. When you submitted your vehicle, there were two options: </p><p>"Vehicle starts but does not drive", and </p><p>"Vehicle does not start".</p><p>You selected the first one, implying the engine starts. The vehicle did not match the stated condition at pickup time, so the offer was adjusted accordingly.</p><p>There was nothing deceptive or dishonest here. You simply selected the wrong option during submission. If the correct option was selected, we could have sent this to the right buy... read more
Very happy with clunker junker. Would use again. Only issue was we were supposed to receive a call an hour before pick up. And didnt get a call, but the driver showed up and hadnt called us first. But it all worked out. He had our paperwork & check and was a very nice man. Would recommend this service. Everything went smoothly on the website to pick up. *** in *********, **
Business response:
Thank you for your positive feedback! Sorry the driver didn't call as they were supposed to, but glad everything worked out alright. We appreciate your business.
I've used their business twice already and they are very fast, reliable, and helpful! I would recommend their business to anyone who needs to junk their car at a reasonable price on hand. From the quoting process, to the pickup scheduling, and follow up, i feel that everything went smoothly and professionally.

Thank you! We appreciate it.
They gave me an offer on my 2003 ****** Corolla with ******* miles on it. It was lower than the CarMax offer. However hadn't accepted either offer as I wasn't sure of the date of pickup of my new car. Then they emailed me with a higher offer, which was a bit higher than CarMax, and they would pick it up. However I was still waiting for my new car pickup date. Then once more they emailed me with an even higher offer. This time I accepted it. They came and picked up the car, and gave me cash. They were gracious and so easy to ... read more
