I would highly recommend Clunker Junker! It was a good experience, quick and easy. I started corresponding with them on 2/5 and the car was picked up on 2/7. I was able to communicate with the business via email and text with quick responses as well and upload information via email. While there was a slight delay on pick up, it was nothing major. I reached out to Clunker Junker and texted with Amy (who was great) very helpful and confirmed my scheduled appointment. The driver arrived check in hand and I was all too happy to ... read more

Business response:

Thank you so much! We really appreciate the positive feedback.

Scam. Sold my car to them, they had another company pick up the car. Copart, left me a check that later bounced. A month of run around trying to get this resolved, but now they put you on hold and hang up or don't pick up at all. Clunkerjunkers said they would resolve the issue but know does the same thing. Disgraceful. These are the ones that give the businesses the bad names 

Business response:

Hello, we were under the impression that this issue was resolved. This is the first correspondence we've had with you since Jan 27th, and Copart told us they were handling it. I wish you had reached out to us again to let us know this was still not resolved. I will reach out to you directly, and we will continue to work with Copart to get this resolved.

It was a simple and easy-going process I answered the questionnaire and they made a offer which was better than other offers pick up of the vehicle was within said time and last transaction was completed at pick up it was a good experience

Scam. I was offered a paltry $515 for my 04 Mustang (KBB puts the car at a minimum $1400 for it's condition, I just didn't want to deal with tire kickers), and when the local company that was going to pay me showed up, they wanted to take another hundred off due to it missing 2 cats. It's a junker, it needs work. This is why I went with Clunker Junker. I didn't want to deal with bargaining or low ball offers. Waste of my time. It's the first time I've gone this route and will certainly be the last. 

Business response:

Hello, I'm very sorry you feel cheated. When you submit your vehicle, there are THREE large orange disclaimers that say the offer may change if your catalytic converter is missing or aftermarket. I don't know how we can make this any more clear. Best of luck with the sale of your vehicle.

I was skeptical when the text messages indicated pick up would be ANY TIME between 8:00 AM and 5 PM. Since my truck was in an impound lot after the accident, I decided to drive 55 miles to the Twin Cities to make that happen. When I checked today after noon, I was told that the drivers were running behind schedule and would call within the hour to reschedule. I told the dispatcher in FLORIDA that was unacceptable and asked to have the driver call me within the hour or I was going elsewhere. No call No deal Every salvage yard... read more

Business response:

<p>Hello, I'm very sorry you had so much trouble with your carrier IAA. Their excuse is that they are extremely backed up from recent weather events, but that is still no excuse for the lack of communication.</p><p>I have reviewed the situation and while I share in the frustration with IAA, I feel our team here at The Clunker Junker did everything we could and should have. We must have called IAA on your behalf four times behind the scenes, plus a number of urgent emails.</p><p>I am sorry they could not fulfil their obligati... read more

Very easy process! I was very skeptical and did a lot of research. Contacted 2 other similar companies. Clunker Junker gave me the fastest and highest price for my parents' old 2007 **** Taurus with transmission issues. Answered a few questions online, had an instant quote that was at ***** Blue Book value, accepted the offer, got an immediate email confirmation, was contacted by phone within a few hours to schedule the pick-up. Offer was accepted late on a Thursday, They were able to schedule pick-up the following Tuesday m... read more
