Junk cars for cash in Oakland
The small stretch between 35th and 43rd east of Cottage Grove, running down to the lakefront.
What pickups in Oakland are like
One of the smallest community areas in the city and quick for us to reach. Being close to the lake, we see more corrosion here than a few miles inland — cars that look sound until you find the floor pan has gone. That does not stop us buying it; it is simply worth knowing before you pay for a repair on a car with a rusted frame.
What we take from here
- Cars that will not start, will not run or have no keys
- Wrecked, flooded and fire-damaged vehicles
- Pickups, cargo vans, SUVs and box trucks
- Stripped shells and picked-over parts cars
- Vehicles blocked in, in an alley, or on a parking deck
- More than one vehicle at the same address
Booking it
Call with the year, make, model and cross streets, plus whether it rolls and whether the converter and wheels are still fitted. We give you a figure on that call and set a collection window. The driver rings before he sets off, checks the vehicle against what you told us, hands you cash, pulls the plates and hooks it up.
ZIP codes covered: 60653. Free tow from all of them.
