I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Fairbanks, AK as of October, pricing is leaning lower right now as parts demand has softened and inventory has built up. Even with that backdrop, the market is active. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Hyundai Elantra are turning over most often, and the average offer across town comes in around $665.
If you are comparing body styles, compact cars usually land between $409 and $556, while trucks and SUVs often range from $800 to $1,167, and many trucks clear the thousand mark. Engine problems account for 36 percent of sales to us, missing catalytic converters make up 24 percent, and collision or body damage is 22 percent. Another 12 percent comes from failed inspection, with 6 percent tied to transmission failure. Those patterns match what we are seeing in the bids we place on Silverados and Elantras, with offers tracking closely to condition and trim within those ranges.
Pickups happen fast. The median pickup time is about 1 hour and 50 minutes, and 93 percent of vehicles are gone within 24 hours, which helps sellers move on quickly even as prices ease. If you are ready to sell, typical offers reflect the current ranges and we coordinate pickup to fit your schedule. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
You bet we do. We serve Fairbanks and nearby areas including North Pole, Eielson Air Force Base, Fort Wainwright, Chena Ridge, Salcha, Two Rivers, Delta Junction, Nenana, Tok, Healy, and more all around the area.
When you choose to recycle your vehicle, you’re handing it off to a licensed buyer who knows how to give those old wheels a new purpose. Our focus? Parts and scrap metal. In Fairbanks, we stick to Alaska's environmental rules, ensuring every car is treated properly.

It all helps reduce waste and keeps those parts in action.
