Looking to get rid of your car?

John's Auto Parts can help you out. We work with charities to accept donations, we buy scrap vehicles by weight, and we also buy cars based on condition.

If you are looking to donate your car to a good cause, we work with three different charities that accept automobile donations. Free2B has been our longest running charity; they assist people in Anoka County to acheive economic security and self-sufficiency by supporting them in their transportation needs. Cars for Courage is another local charity that supports the Courage Center, which helps more than 11,000 children and adults with disabilities each year. Lastly we work with 800 Charity Cars which is one of the leading national charities. All three serve a good cause and we recommend them equally.

If you would prefer to sell us your car, we have two different ways of doing it. The first is to fill out the form on our Buy My Car page and we will give you a quote for the car. The other method is to bring it here and send it across the scale to sell it based on the current scrap price. Usually the quote would be the better option for newer cars or cars in good condition, while most older, rusted cars will just go by scrap weight.
