★ ALL 77 CHICAGO COMMUNITY AREAS · OPEN 24 HOURS
From the bungalow belt to the high-rises, we buy junk cars across every neighborhood in the city. Free towing, cash in hand, and a truck that can actually get down a Chicago alley.
Buying junk cars out of Dolton for 25 years. Same yard, same phone number, still answering it.
Your details
Every vehicle is priced over the phone. Give us the year, model, and honest condition and we quote you on the spot — the driver confirms it when he sees the vehicle. Paid in cash at pickup, towing included. We answer 24 hours.
Chicago presents problems most yards would rather avoid. Cars wedged into gangway parking. Vehicles behind a locked gate in a shared alley. Street parking where the tow truck has ninety seconds before it blocks traffic. Two-flat buildings where the car has been sitting in the rear yard since the tenant moved out.
Twenty-five years working this city means our drivers already know how to handle those situations. We run trucks sized for narrow alleys, and our drivers plan the approach before they arrive rather than discovering the problem at the curb.
A large share of our Chicago calls come from people under a deadline. Street cleaning is scheduled and the car cannot be moved. A relocation notice has been posted. A building owner has given a tenant a date to clear the rear lot. The city sticker expired and the tickets are stacking up on a car that does not run.
That is the reason we answer the phone at three in the morning. If the car needs to be gone before a specific hour, tell us the deadline when you call and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet it.
The city fleet skews older and heavier than the suburbs. Plenty of full-size sedans, older SUVs, and work vans that have finished their working lives. Heavier vehicles carry more scrap weight, which is the base of every offer we make.
Winter is also hard on cars here. Salt corrosion, rust-through on rocker panels and subframes, and cracked blocks from a freeze are all common. None of that stops us buying the car; it just changes what the parts side of the offer looks like.
★ THE PROCESS
No listing photos, no inspections to schedule, no tire-kickers messaging you at midnight. And no waiting for business hours — we pick up around the clock.
Year, make, model, and honest condition. Thirty seconds on the phone and we quote you on the spot. Lines are open 24 hours.
Pick any window that works, day or night. Most Chicagoland and NW Indiana pickups happen same or next day. You don't lift a thing.
Driver checks the vehicle, confirms the price, hands you cash, completes the paperwork, and hauls it off.
★ WHAT WE TAKE
Half the yards in Chicagoland hang up the second they hear "no title." We don't. We're set up to handle the ownership paperwork on our end, so a missing title doesn't kill the deal.
Bring what you have:
Nothing at all? Call anyway. Tell us the year, the VIN and how you came to have the car, and we'll tell you on the phone whether we can take it. That call costs you nothing.
★ HOW PRICING WORKS
Your phone quote is built from what you tell us. The driver confirms it in person, so the more accurate your description, the closer the cash matches the quote.
Engine and transmission still in it, catalytic converter attached, all four wheels on, newer model year, title in hand.
Converter already cut off, engine or transmission pulled, wheels gone, or damage that wasn't mentioned on the phone. No title also brings it down, since we take on the paperwork.
If the price at the curb doesn't work for you, walk away. No tow charge, no callout fee, no obligation to sell.
★ QUESTIONS
Yes, and it is most of what we do in the city. Tell us when you call whether the car is in an alley, a gangway, or on the street, and whether there is a gate involved, so we bring the right truck and enough time.
Tickets follow the registered owner, not the vehicle, so they do not stop us buying it. Getting the car off the street usually stops new ones from accumulating, which is why a lot of people call us in the first place.
Yes. We run pickups around the clock, including evenings and overnight. If the only time you are home is 10pm, that works for us.
