Wherever it's parked, we'll come get it
Pickup looks a little different depending on where the car has been sitting. Pick the one that sounds like yours.
On the driveway or the street
The quickest pickups. If the village has left a notice, we explain the rules and the 7-day clock.
Dead car rules
Parked for years, flat tires and all
In the garage, the side yard or out back. Dead battery, expired tags. None of it stops a sale.
Old car removalIn an apartment or HOA lot
Gate codes, garage clearance and who to tell before the tow truck shows up.
Shared lot tipsAt a repair shop
The estimate came back too high. The car doesn't have to come home first.
Repair shop pickup
Trucks, vans and SUVs too
Old pickups, cargo and passenger vans, SUVs with a blown engine or a bad transmission. If it's a junk, wrecked or scrap vehicle, send it through the form. The tow is free for those as well.

Straight answers
More in the full pickup FAQ.
Does junk car pickup cost anything?
No. Towing is free, and no towing charge is taken out of your offer. The offer we give you is what you're paid at pickup.
Do I need the title?
No title? We can still help. Say which papers you do have: a bill of sale, the registration or an insurance card. Whether they're enough for a scrap sale depends on Illinois rules, and we check that with you on the call.
How fast can the car be gone?
Same-day pickup is often possible. It depends on when you accept the offer and where the car is, so tell us your timing when we call.
Is the money handed over on pickup day?
Yes, curbside, as the car goes up on the truck. Zelle, Cash App and other payment apps all work, and so does cash.
What will my junk car bring?
We don't publish a price list, because the number depends on the car itself: year, make and model, whether it runs, what's damaged or missing, and what paperwork you have. Send those through the form and we call back with a real offer, not a range.
What kinds of vehicles do you buy?
Any car, truck, van or SUV that's reached the end, in any condition: burned, flooded, wrecked, stripped or just dead. Got more than one? A single visit can take them all.
