Our Story

We've Worked in Auto Salvage Since Before We Could Drive

Reap My Ride started hands on, not in an office. Workers in scrap metal facilities and salvage yards getting dirty and learning the ins and outs of salvage parts and what makes junk cars worth money.

Now, being in the auto recycling industry for over a decade, we have noticed some flaws that we want to fix. People have been getting taken advantage of for too long. Hidden fees along with bait & switch tactics need to be stopped, and we’re here to do just that.

Reap My Ride uses real data according to the current market. No mysteries or hidden fees involved. You get a quote, we come to tow your car for free, and you get paid on the spot for the quote you received.

Why We Exist

The Junk Car Industry Has Three Big Problems

We started Reap My Ride because we kept seeing the same scams play out over and over.

The Bait & Switch

You will be offered a specific quote, but when the driver shows up, they offer you less hoping you will take it since the tow truck is already there. We offer a firm price and that’s what you will be paid. Period.

The Runaround

You call five different companies and receive a wide range of quotes, with nobody explaining how or why. We’ll show you the math. Our pricing is based on real data from the current market.

The Lowball Trap

Plenty of buyers offer a fraction of what a vehicle is actually worth, and count on you having nothing to compare it against. One offer is a number. Several offers is a market.

Meet the Founder

Built by Someone Who's Actually Worked in a Salvage Yard

Ruston Graves didn’t come from Silicon Valley. He came from the scrap yard. After spending more than a decade in the auto recycling industry — buying junk cars, managing salvage operations, and working directly with metal recyclers — he saw an opportunity to build something the industry desperately needed: a junk car buyer that actually treats sellers with respect.

What Sets Us Apart

Six Things Every Buyer Agrees To

Transparent Pricing

Vehicle weight and current scrap rate drive the number. Buyers price on the same inputs, and you see what each one lands on. No mysteries involved.

Price Lock Guarantee

As long as the car is what you described, that is the price you are handed. A buyer who lowers it without a documented reason takes a strike.

Always Free Towing

Some companies quote a price and then deduct what the tow cost them. Towing is the buyer's expense here, and charging a seller for it is a strike.

Same-Day Service

Most pickups happen the same or next day once you accept an offer. Buyers who miss a scheduled window lose standing in the network.

Title Help

Our team has handled thousands of transactions involving lost titles and knows what each state actually requires. We tell you before the driver arrives.

Any Condition, Any Vehicle

It doesn’t matter if the vehicle is running, wrecked, flooded, fire-damaged, or missing wheels — buyers take cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs.

The Reaper Promise

Every buyer in the network agrees to the same terms before they can bid on your car. Three of the seven matter most:

Guaranteed Price

Buyers honour the offer you accepted. As long as your vehicle is as described, there are no deductions.

Guaranteed Removal

We pick up your vehicle at no cost on your schedule.

Guaranteed Payment

Cash or a certified check on the day of pickup, handed over before the car is loaded. Not days later, not by mail.

We offer three guarantees:

Industry Expertise

We Know What a Junk Car Is Actually Worth

Our team came out of the yards, not out of marketing. That is the reason we can tell a fair offer from a lowball one, and the reason we can judge the buyers who make them.

Market Expertise

We follow the market closely. When scrap steel prices move, buyer offers move with them, and we can tell when one is out of step with the rest.

Vehicle Weights

A 2004 Honda Civic and a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe have different weights. Our pricing is based on actual curb weight data rather than a one size fits all formula. A heavier vehicle means more cash.

Salvage Values

Engines, transmissions, and catalytic converters often fetch more than scrap value, and we factor their resale value into our quotes.

Title Laws

Different states have different rules for vehicles without titles. We’ve processed many sales for vehicles without titles and know what documentation is needed.

Our Mission

Give Every Junk Car Seller a Fair Deal and a Straight Answer

Reap My Ride was built for customers to sell a junk car more quickly, hassle-free, and with honest buyers. No more bait-and-switch offers, lowball games, and the runaround that defined this industry for decades.

We make punctual appearances and stay true to our quoted price. When we shake your hand, the deal is done with real cash on the spot.

How We Hold Buyers To It

The Standard Is Written Down

None of the above is worth much unless there is a mechanism behind it. There is. Every promise we make to you as a seller is a condition a buyer accepted, and every buyer is scored on whether they kept it.
