Special situations specific to Royal Oak

  • Tight downtown parking, picking up from a Main Street area address sometimes requires coordination on timing because of meter / restricted parking. We'll work it out with you.
  • Apartment complexes around Coolidge and 12 Mile, common pickup location; we coordinate with property managers when towing from common lots.
  • Beaumont Hospital area, staff often have older commuter cars they're letting go.
  • Younger first-time-junk-car-sellers, many Royal Oak residents are selling their first junk car ever. We walk you through the process if it's new to you.

Royal Oak vs, the older suburbs, what's different about pricing

Royal Oak cars tend to be in better cosmetic condition than cars from the older industrial suburbs, but they also tend to be smaller and lighter, which works against pure scrap value. Net effect: offers in Royal Oak are usually slightly above the suburb average for running cars, and slightly below for pure scrap-only cars. The mix usually works out fine.
