I generally do not do reviews. Had a good experience here today. Don't know the name of the young man there but received an assessment very quickly on what they could do for me with no rudeness or unnecessary B.S. If it becomes necessary I would do business with them, no problem. Much better experience than Fairfax Salvage. sometimes it just the little things, like COURTESY.

Over the course of the last year we’ve taken 4 loads of various different things to Rathe’s. Appliances, auto parts, random scrap metal, scrap copper pipe, scrap copper wire, and more. Everyone is very friendly, helpful, fair, and easy to work with! Would recommend them to anyone!

I utilized the form on the website and was pleasantly surprised with the same day quick response to my request. Ben called before heading out to let me know he was coming and was very professional and courteous. He picked up the car in the time frame promised on the call. I highly recommend their service! They will be my go to if I need again

Had a really good experience with Rathe Salvage. Originally I was going to drive my very rusty 16 year old civic over to them since I’m not far away, but Ben was able to pick it up and give me the same quote as if I’d dropped it off. It was easy to schedule the pickup and Ben was perfectly on time. Great experience overall.

Ben & Regina (in the office) were great and easy to deal with, simple transaction and no hassle, I would return to do business again. They gave a fair $ offer for my damaged vehicle which was more than other avenues had offered, Ben was prompt and professional with an emailed offer the same day.

Depending on the age of the vehicle you may need a title to sell your car. Vehicles that are 15 years or older do not require a title. For vehicles that do not require a title, we still require proof of ownership including an old registration, insurance card, or bill of sale.
We accept many different types of metals including steel, aluminum, copper, brass, wire, and so much more! Check out our scrap metal recycling page to see a more complete list of the items we buy.
There is no rental fee associated with a scrap metal dumpster. Depending on your location, the only cost you pay is a transport fee. Once the dumpster is full, we’ll pick it up and pay your for the metal! For more information check out our scrap metal dumpster page.
