We buy junk cars on the South Side
Dead car behind the building, wrecked one in the lot, work van that finally gave out. We come to it, the tow costs you nothing, and you are paid at the vehicle before it goes on the truck. Bronzeville out to Joliet, Kankakee and northwest Indiana.
Get a cash figure
A few details and a phone number. We come back with a figure.
How it works
You tell us what it is
Year, make, model, where it sits and roughly what is wrong with it. Phone or form — a person handles it either way.
We give you a figure
Priced on the actual vehicle: weight, what is still bolted to it, and what it costs us to come and get it. If we cannot make a number that works for you, we say so rather than waste your afternoon.
We book the tow
Same day across the South Side if you call early. Further out, we build you into the route. The driver rings before he sets off.
He checks it and pays you
He confirms the vehicle matches what you described, hands you the cash, pulls your plates and hooks it up. Ten minutes, start to finish.
What we buy
Four wheels and a VIN is enough to start a phone call. The state it is in almost never rules it out.

No cleanup, no tyre kickers, no waiting
Selling a dead car privately means photographing it, listing it, answering messages from people who never turn up, and then working out how to move a car that will not start. That is a month of your life for a car that is not worth a month of your life.
- We come to the car — you move nothing
- Cash at the vehicle, in your hand, before it is loaded
- We pull the plates so you can cancel the registration
- Coach house, rear lot, parking deck, vacant lot — all routine

Chicago, the south suburbs, Will County and Indiana
Lake Park and 39th puts us on the lakefront with a straight run south and west. Free towing from every one of them.
Straight answers
Do I need the title to sell a junk car?
Not always, and the answer differs between Illinois and Indiana. Have photo ID and the VIN ready and tell us which state the car is parked in — that is what decides what we need.
Is the towing really free?
Yes, everywhere on our list, including Kankakee and northwest Indiana. The tow is our cost and nothing comes off what we hand you.
How quickly can you collect?
Same day is normal across the South Side and the near suburbs if you call in the morning. For Joliet, Kankakee and Indiana, call early so we can build the route around you.
How do you work out the figure?
Weight, what is still attached to the car, and how far a truck has to travel. A complete car is worth more than a picked-over one, so tell us what is missing.
What do I need ready at pickup?
Photo ID, the title if you have it, and the keys if they exist. Take the plates and clear out the glovebox and boot before the driver arrives.
What do you buy?
Cars, pickups, vans, SUVs and box trucks. Running, dead, wrecked, flooded, burned or stripped.
Tell us what you have
One call, one figure, one truck. We are on Lake Park at 39th and we run around the clock.
