What Is the Junkyard System?

The junkyard was introduced in Update 5.7.0 (Thanksgiving Update, November 28, 2025) as part of the Junkyard Event. It allows players to purchase damaged, off-sale, or high-mileage vehicles at a low cost, repair them through an interactive process, and either keep them or sell them for profit. The system has remained a permanent feature and is one of the most popular money-making methods in the game.

Where to Find the Junkyard

The junkyard is located near the Apex Auto dealership. From the dealership, drive down the main road and turn right — follow signs pointing to the junkyard area. The junkyard contains a selection of damaged vehicles parked in a lot, each available for purchase at a fixed low price (around $4,000 per vehicle). The available vehicles rotate and may include off-sale models no longer available at the regular dealership.

How to Buy Junkyard Vehicles

Walk up to a vehicle in the junkyard lot and interact with it to purchase. Each vehicle costs approximately $4,000. These vehicles are typically in poor condition — they may have visible damage, extremely high mileage (one documented example had 225,000 miles), and may be models that have been removed from the regular dealership (off-sale). After purchase, you can drive the vehicle out of the junkyard, though it will be in damaged condition.

The junkyard offers a variety of vehicle types including sedans, minivans, and trucks. During the initial Thanksgiving event, new vehicles like a minivan and a truck were available exclusively through the junkyard. The selection may update with future events.

The Interactive Repair Process

After purchasing a junkyard vehicle, drive it to the dealership repair station. The repair process is fully interactive and multi-step: 1. Open the hood by interacting with the hood latch and dragging it away from the engine bay. 2. Repair engine components by dragging damaged parts to the repair machine. 3. Wash the vehicle at the sink/wash station. 4. Service the battery — uninstall it, place it on the charger, wait for recharge, then reinstall. 5. Replace tires — visit the parts seller to buy new tires (cheapest options work), then install all four wheels. 6. Paint the vehicle at the paint booth — choose from available colors.

The entire process is animated and detailed — you physically interact with each component, watch parts get cleaned or replaced, and see the vehicle transform from a beaten-up wreck to a clean, repaired car. Players have praised the system as "so interactive" and "so cool," comparing it favorably to the simple one-click repairs at standard repair shops.

Selling for Profit (Junkyard Flip)

Once repaired, you have two options: keep the vehicle or sell it. Selling a repaired junkyard vehicle yields approximately $15,000, compared to the $4,000 purchase price — a profit of around $11,000 per flip. Repair costs (tires, paint) are relatively small, so the net profit is typically $10,000+. This makes the junkyard flip one of the most efficient money-making methods in the game, especially for players who have progressed past the beginner stage and have $4,000+ to invest.

You can batch multiple flips in one session for maximum efficiency. Buy several junkyard vehicles, repair them one by one at the dealership, then sell each for profit. The process is repetitive but highly profitable.

Keeping Junkyard Vehicles

If you prefer to keep the repaired vehicle instead of selling it, you can add it to your garage. This is a great way to obtain off-sale or rare vehicles that are no longer available at the regular dealership. The high mileage on junkyard vehicles is cosmetic and does not affect performance after repair. Some players enjoy collecting unique or discontinued models through the junkyard system.
