Summer Scrap Metal Prices: What They Mean for Your Junk Car’s Value

​Thinking of junking your car this summer? Here’s something you need to know: scrap metal prices change with the seasons, and summer is one of the best times to take advantage. At The Junk Car Pros, we help you understand how current market trends affect your payout and make sure you get top dollar for your junk vehicle.

📈 Why Scrap Prices Matter
Your car isn’t just a vehicle it’s made of valuable materials like:

• Steel
• Aluminum
• Copper
• Platinum (from catalytic converters)

These materials have fluctuating values in the scrap market. When prices rise, so does your car’s junk value even if it doesn’t run.

☀️ What Happens in Summer?
During summer, scrap prices often stay strong due to:

• Increased construction (which drives demand for recycled metal)
• More people selling cars, creating competition
• Higher gas prices, encouraging parts resale and scrap value

All this means one thing: now’s the time to sell, before prices dip again in the fall.
