Question 1

How much can I get for my junk car in Chicago?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the year, make, model, weight, completeness and current scrap and parts demand. We give you a specific number for your vehicle on the phone instead of advertising a headline figure that may not apply to you.

Question 2

Do you buy cars that do not run?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Non-running, no-start, blown engine, bad transmission, no keys and accident-damaged vehicles are a large part of what we buy. We bring equipment to move a car that will not roll or steer.

Question 3

Can I sell a junk car without a title?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes — it is case by case and depends on your situation and what Illinois allows. Call and describe what paperwork you do have, and we will tell you honestly whether we can proceed.

Question 4

Is towing and removal included?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Removal is part of the deal. The price we agree on is what you receive; we do not subtract a towing charge afterward.

Question 5

How fast can you pick up the car?

Accepted Answer

Same-day pickup is sometimes available, especially for South Side and south suburban addresses when you call early. If the schedule is full we will tell you the next realistic window rather than promise something we cannot do.

Question 6

What do I need to have ready?

Accepted Answer

Identification for the person selling the vehicle, whatever title or paperwork exists, the keys if you have them, and your personal belongings removed from the car. Also remember to remove your license plates.

Question 7

Do you buy more than one vehicle at a time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you have several vehicles on a property, a lot, or a business site, describe all of them on the call and we will quote the group.

Question 8

What areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Chicago and surrounding areas, with the strongest coverage on the South Side and in the south suburbs, including Chatham, South Shore, Hyde Park, Roseland, Hegewisch, South Holland, Dolton, Harvey, Oak Lawn, Alsip, Lansing and Hammond, Indiana.
