Junkyards and salvage yards in Montana
11 mapped yards across 6 Montana cities - plus the number the listings never give you: what a yard is likely to pay for the whole car.
What a yard pays in Montana
Know this before you start phoning around. A yard buying your car as a unit is paying for the recyclable metal in it, which follows weight, plus whatever it expects to resell from it. Anything far below this range deserves a second quote.
What a yard pays for a whole car in Montana
Clean title, catalytic converter still on the car, no crash damage. Regional scrap basis $145 - $175 per ton, as of 2026-08.
| Vehicle | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Small car, will not start | $245 - $410 |
| Mid-size sedan, will not start | $290 - $480 |
| SUV or minivan, will not start | $395 - $655 |
| Full-size pickup, will not start | $500 - $830 |
Estimates from our own model, not offers, and not quotes from any yard on this page. Our own estimate of what a whole scrap car fetches per ton in this region - not a live per-state quote and not a mill index. A yard that has to send its own truck for the car will usually pay less than one you drive it to.

Montana questions people ask
It scales with weight, and with whether the catalytic converter is still fitted. For a whole car that will not start with a clean title, the table on this page gives our Montana estimate for four vehicle sizes, from a small car up to a full-size pickup. Treat it as a yardstick for judging an offer rather than as a quote - a yard that has to collect the car will usually pay less than one you deliver to.

About this list. Locations come from OpenStreetMap (ODbL 1.0), snapshot 2026-08-23. OpenStreetMap is a volunteer map rather than a licensing registry, so the Montana list is a real but partial list - there are yards operating that nobody has mapped yet, and a listed yard may have changed hands or closed. We have not verified any yard's licence, and a listing here is not a recommendation: some may buy parts only rather than a whole car. Phone before you drive out. Cities are ordered by how many yards we have mapped, and yards within a city alphabetically. We do not accept payment for placement on this page. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
