Junk Car Services Across Chicago

This is the core of what we do: you have a vehicle that is not worth repairing, and you want money for it rather than a bill. We quote based on the vehicle itself, then pay you when we collect it.

Common cases: failed emissions, blown head gasket, seized engine, transmission gone, rusted-through frame, or a car that has simply sat too long to come back.

We are the buyer, not a lead broker. Your phone number does not get sold to five other yards, and the person quoting you is the person paying you.

That also means one conversation settles the price, the paperwork question and the pickup window.

Complete, partially stripped, missing wheels, missing keys, no interior — we look at the whole picture and make an offer on what is actually there.

If you have more than one vehicle, describe all of them and we will quote the group in one call.

Removal is included in the deal. We come to the vehicle: driveway, garage, rear pad, alley, side lot, business yard or street spot.

Tight South Side alleys and narrow gangways are routine for us. Tell us the access situation and we send the right truck.

Scrap value tracks vehicle weight, completeness and what the market pays that week. Heavier and more complete vehicles are worth more.

We handle end-of-life vehicles through licensed recycling channels rather than dumping them.

Not every car we buy is junk. Some are simply cars people want gone this week instead of listed online for a month.

If your vehicle would clearly do better in a private sale, we will say so rather than talk you into a lower number.

Collision, flood, fire, hail and vandalism damage are all buyable. Damage changes the price, not our willingness.

For water damage, tell us how high the water reached — that materially affects value.

Post-accident vehicles and insurance total losses are picked up directly from wherever they are sitting, including a shop or a storage lot with authorization.

If a body shop or lot is holding the vehicle, let us know who to coordinate with.

No start, no crank, no keys, no brakes, no steering: we bring a winch, skates and the equipment to load a car that cannot help itself.

You do not need to get it running or move it to the curb before we arrive.

High-mileage cars, long-parked cars, and vehicles that have not been plated in years are all fair game.

Bring us the year, make and model even if you have not started it in a decade.

Inherited vehicles, cars left behind by a former tenant, a project that never got finished, or a second car nobody drives.

The ownership situation matters here, so mention it up front and we will explain what we need.

Beyond cars: vans, SUVs, pickups and light box trucks cleared from residential and commercial property.

For business lots, we can work with a property manager and handle multiple units on one visit when access allows.

Vehicles we buy are dismantled and processed through licensed recycling channels — fluids drained, tires and metal routed appropriately.

Selling to us keeps the vehicle out of an alley or an empty lot and puts the material back into use.

You get a pickup window rather than a vague promise, and a call before the driver arrives.

Have your plates off, personal items out, and identification plus whatever paperwork exists ready at pickup.
