This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
PGH Junk Cars in Pittsburgh, PA scores 97/100 with overwhelmingly positive feedback. Customers praise fast, often same-day pickups, punctual towing, fair cash offers that match on pickup, and professional, friendly staff (Carl and drivers frequently noted). Communication is easy, title work is smooth, and pricing for repairs, used cars, and tires is seen as reasonable. One outlier reports abrupt phone service and a declined parts request. Wait times are short. Little detail on yard organization, inventory variety, or ease of finding parts.
The owner Carl can at times be crass, curt, and intense. But when you get past that veneer, you will see a man who has the love and respect of every single person around him. I can tell you how great their work is, or how amazing the secretary is, or any number of incredible things. What YOU should do is call them or stop on by and see why most of the employees have worked there over a decade, and why the rest of us won't let anyone else touch our cars.
So easy. I called, they came the next morning, handed me cash and took the car that hasn't run in a year. I truly never thought it would be that easy, o lr I would have done it earlier. No BS, just cash for your car.
Recently contacted this establishment because I had a vehicle that wouldn't pass inspection and I needed to unload it. It couldn't have been an easier process - quick response times and answered all of my questions. We did the title transfer at the office and they retrieved the car the very next day. Painless and efficient.
Hello,my name is Chuck,I recently used cash for cars and they were accurate and friendly plus knowledgeable on the Kelly bluebook value of my vehicle that I sold. I would recommend them to anyone who’s interested in selling their old car or the car they no longer need. Arranging the tow truck driver to come pick up my vehicle was on time very courteous friendly Very professional. Outstanding service on both companies. I recommend anybody to use their company and services. Five star rating for me.
Easy few minute phone call and they gave me a great quote and had a tow truck immediately sent out. I live in the boonies and they came all the way out here pretty quickly. Anthony was fantastic and even jump started my battery so I can grab my CD out of the player lol It was such a pleasant and quick process and I highly recommend them
Carl was great. Went through the car very thorough and asked all questions that I had. Even gave me an extra boost for the AC without me asking. I would highly recommend going to see him if you need a quality, affordable used car at great prices. Thanks again Carl!!!
called to ask for a quote and they gave no time or thought to it just said “nope” and hang up the phone. terrible customer service. for reference i asked for a seatbelt replacement…make it make sense
Carl was great on the phone, and Brian the driver was a very nice guy the whole experience was easy and professional without a doubt I’d use them again
100% highly recommended. I checked other places, got the run around, & not accommodating. I got the amount quoted, fast pick up & Carl accommodated me as I was an hour away from my car for pick up time. Thank you.
I had to get rid of a car and they did a fantastic job. Communication was very simple and easy, and they made it happen so quickly. It just needed ~10 texts and a 2-3 min phone conversation, and it’s done. I’m happy I didn’t have to spend 30 min talking over the phone for nothing like I did with another company.
Also the guys came to get the car were very nice.
Carl and his team went above and beyond to make sure that I was a satisfied customer. The most honest team I’ve ever dealt with in my career buying experience!
Super quick and easy! Had a junk car sitting around and called PGH Junk Cars—best decision ever. They gave me a fair offer, showed up fast, and took care of everything with no hassle. Whole thing was done before I knew it. If you’re in Pittsburgh and need to get rid of a car ASAP, these are the people to call. Highly recommend!
Great to do business with. Responded to inquiry within 24 hours. Offered a reasonable amount for vehicle. Free pick up and towing. Very flexible with scheduling and easy transaction. Pleasant human beings and experience.
PGH Junk Cars bought my vehicle for the price quoted on the phone. The driver was very professional and took the time to answer my questions. The transaction was seamless and quick. I highly recommend this business!
Stevie is fantastic. His vast knowledge of vehicles definitely makes you feel safe with his work. He is efficient, reliable, and willing to walk you through every process. Highly recommend!
Awesome service! For inspections and maintenance! I feel like I’m not being swindled and the staff is being honest with me. That’s hard to find now days, especially being a woman!! Best in the 412! When I can no longer drive my vehicle I'm taking it here! Thank you so much! I appreciate yins honest hard work to keep myself and fur-babies safe as we travel down the road!!
Carl and his crew are reliable, dependable, extremely knowledgeable and honest. My family won’t go elsewhere. He’s been taking excellent care of our vehicles for many years, also very affordable.
Just got done getting my wives car inspected and have nothing but wonderful things to say about this shop and it's employees. Brian was my technician and did a very good job explaining what he looked at on the car and seemed very knowledgeable of her vehicle. I would highly recommend this shop if you want a fair price and knowledgeable staff
I recently had the pleasure of working with Carl Hoffield at PGH Junk Cars, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service I received. From the moment I contacted him, Carl was professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful. He provided a fair quote.
The process was seamless, and I appreciated how transparent Carl was about everything. It’s clear that he values his customers and takes pride in his work. If you’re looking to get rid of a vehicle or need maintenance done, I highly recommend PGH Junk Cars. Thanks again, Carl!
My truck was done extremely fast. And is now running better than ever before. Especially after several shops kept it for months long and severely overcharged me. I'm very satisfied with how this shop runs their business. And would recommend them to everyone looking for experienced, timely, and fair priced work on their vehicles.
Prices are reasonable, not a rip-off. Garage, the work is done correctly. Don't try telling you something else is wrong when it's not. I've been dealing with them for years and I will continue to send people their way and they will continue to get my business
Carl is the greatest, Iv known him and used his services for close to twenty years, and he has never let me down. I recommend him to anyone who needs work done. Very honest and efficient!!!
Excellent car towing service! They were on time and provided quick and easy service. I had gone through 4 other companies trying to book a time and with one quick call they were at my property in 30 minutes. Definitely recommend!
