About Derby City Junk Cars
A locally owned, licensed Louisville junk car buyer working out of our 708 Hay Ct yard since 2018.
Who We Are
Derby City Junk Cars LLC is a family-run junk car and salvage operation based at 708 Hay Ct in Louisville, KY. Since 2018 we've bought cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans in every condition — running, non-running, wrecked, flooded, or simply unwanted — directly from owners across Louisville and the surrounding Kentucky counties.
We're not a lead aggregator that resells your phone number. When you call, you reach a local buyer. We quote a real number, dispatch our own truck, pay you on the spot, and tow the vehicle to our own yard — the same place you see in the photos below.
Every vehicle we take in is processed through licensed Kentucky salvage channels, with parts and materials recycled responsibly.
Our Credentials
- →Kentucky Licensed Motor Vehicle & Salvage Buyer

The Editorial Team
Every guide, answer, and local briefing on this site is written and reviewed by the Derby City Junk Cars Editorial Team — the same licensed buyers and title specialists who quote, tow, and process vehicles at our 708 Hay Ct yard. We write from first-hand Louisville pickup and Kentucky title-transfer experience rather than copying other sites.
We are a kentucky licensed motor vehicle & salvage buyer, fully insured, and locally owned and operated since 2018. When a guide touches Kentucky paperwork, it reflects how transfers actually run through the county clerk with oversight from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC).
