Whether looking for one specific vehicle or many, the Salvage Direct proprietary bidding system will help you find what you need quickly and accurately.

Each vehicle listing includes the vehicle’s year, make, model and mileage, a detailed description of the damage (RUNS and MOVES), a virtual photo gallery of 12 pictures (minimum) taken from a variety of angles, and the vehicle’s current storage location. We also work hard to get KEYS for every unit.

Our founders envisioned ways to give buyers an edge through creative uses of technology. Salvage Direct will save you significant time and money by harnessing the power of the Internet.

Salvage Direct offers more photos, a description and as much vehicle information as possible
