Why Waterford sellers get more from the actual buyer
A lead broker sells your phone number and takes a cut before anyone even looks at the car. We are the yard. Waterford's lake roads chew up brake lines and rocker panels — rusted-out trucks and no-start winter cars are our most common Waterford pickup. Because we part out the vehicle ourselves, we can pay for the drivetrain, the catalytic converter, the wheels and the clean body panels instead of a flat scrap number.
Pickup logistics around Dodge Park #4 and Oakland County International Airport
Our driver is about 11 minutes from our yard on Cesar E Chavez Ave via M-59 (Highland Rd) and Dixie Highway. We regularly load in Drayton Plains, Elizabeth Lake Estates, Crescent Lake and along M-59 (Highland Rd) and Dixie Highway. Driveway, street, apartment lot, repair shop or impound — if the truck can legally reach it, we can winch it.

Junk car buyers questions from Waterford sellers
How much is a junk car worth in Waterford?
Most Waterford vehicles land between $300 and $2,500. Complete cars with the engine and catalytic converter still on them sit at the top; stripped shells and small four-cylinders sit at the bottom.
Do I need to bring the car to the Pontiac yard?
No. We come to you in Waterford and towing is free (you are inside our 10-mile radius). You are welcome to drive it in if it still runs, but it does not change the offer.
Are you a broker or the real buyer?
We are the buyer. Acme Auto Parts has owned the salvage yard on Cesar E Chavez Ave in Pontiac since 1948 and the junk cars we buy in Waterford come straight to it.
