car junkyard in california?

Question by Sky: car junkyard in california?
Anyone knows how I can get cash for my car which didn’t pass smog check? I could have gotten 00 from the state but miss the opportunity to do it because I declare the car inoperative. It still runs but didn’t pass smog check. I try everything to get it to pass. Will cost more to fix then to sell it. Any help would be great.

I know Epic (http://www.autoskill.net/dws/epic/index.htm) and Westside (http://verizonsupersite.com/westsideautorecyclingcom/faqs/ ) would take my car. But are these the best option out there.
–I have read that there is not such thing as donating your car to a charity because these “company” that you donate are in it to make a profit.

What charity would you recommend.?

Consider donating the car to a charity. They will give you the retail value of the car and you can use it as a tax deduction. I have done it before and gotten a writeoff of 1200.00 which reduced my taxes from having to pay to getting a small refund.
Just shop around for a legitimete charity that will give you the most money value for the donation.

    Instead of “junking” your car, why not donate it to any of the many charitable organizations that take automobiles, and get a deduction on your income tax . At most a junk yard will only give you $100.00 for a salvage car.
