Common questions
Junk car selling questions, answered
How much is my junk car worth in Minooka, IL?
Value depends on the year, make, model, weight, which parts are still usable, and current scrap metal prices. A complete vehicle with a drivetrain and catalytic converter is worth more than a stripped shell. Call with the details and you get a real number, not a guess.
Do you pay cash for junk cars?
Yes. Payment is handed over when the vehicle is picked up and the paperwork is signed - never after the fact.
Can I sell a car that does not run?
Yes. Non-running, no-start and no-transmission vehicles are a large part of what we buy. We bring the towing equipment, so the car does not need to move on its own.
Is towing or removal free?
Junk car removal is included in the offer you accept for vehicles in our service area. The number we quote is the number you keep.
What if I do not have the title?
No-title purchases are handled case by case, based on Illinois requirements and what documentation you do have. Bring your registration and photo ID to the call and we will tell you honestly whether we can complete the sale.
What do I need to have ready for pickup?
Photo ID, the title if you have it, and the keys if they still exist. Clear a path to the vehicle and remove your personal belongings and plates.
Ready to turn that vehicle into cash?
Call for a real number in minutes, or send the quote form and we will follow up.
