San Clemente Insights
In San Clemente, we see a lot of different types of vehicles come through, but certain models are more common than others. Older pickups, like Ford F-150s from 2005 to 2010, are still popular, especially if they have minor engine or frame issues. Many of these trucks have high mileage, sometimes over 150,000 miles, and may have rust or broken parts. Sedans from around 2008 to 2012, like Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas, also make up a good share of our buys. Sometimes these cars have been in small accidents or have blown head gaskets, which makes them less desirable for repairs but good for scrap or parts. lately, we notice more trucks like Chevrolet Silverados from 2010 to 2014, often damaged in minor collisions or with transmission troubles. On the other hand, newer models, such as Nissan Sentras from 2016 and up, sometimes come in with electrical issues or worn out tires. Vehicles with crash damage, age related wear, or engine failure are always in demand for scrap metal and repairs.
