Raleigh accounts for 1.5% of the auto salvage yards in North Carolina. Addresses come from federal EPA records, which don't guarantee a yard is still open or what it buys, so call before you drive over: hours, prices and what each yard buys or sells vary.

Got towed in Raleigh?
Call the number on the tow-away sign where you parked, or the police non-emergency line, to find out which lot has your car. Bring photo ID, proof you own the car, and a way to pay, and ask for an itemized receipt.
If police had your car towed, North Carolina requires notice to you within 24 hours, and you can ask the magistrate in that county for a hearing on whether the tow was justified. The hearing has to be set within 72 hours, and if there was no probable cause, the tow company's lien is wiped out.
