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.

Broadway, the Toll Road, and how we get there

We run to Gary either on the Borman and down Grant Street, or the Toll Road exit depending on which end of the city you are in. Glen Park off Broadway and Ridge is about twenty-two minutes from Dolton. Miller Beach, out past the Marquette lagoons, is closer to thirty-five.

That spread is worth mentioning on the phone. If you are in Miller we will still tow free, but the scheduling window is looser than it is for a Glen Park pickup, so tell us the cross street rather than just the city.

A city with room to let a car sit

Gary has more lots, more alleys and more space behind houses than the tight Illinois suburbs, and that changes what we come to collect. We pull a lot of vehicles that have not turned over since the Obama administration — flat tires seized to the rim, brake drums rusted solid, weeds through the engine bay.

None of that is a problem. Our drivers deal with cars that will not roll every single day, and a non-roller is not worth less on a scrap price. What we do need is honest information about whether the wheels turn, so the right truck shows up with a winch that can handle it.

Stripped cars, converters, and being straight about it

Gary is also where we most often arrive to find a car has already been visited. Converter cut off, wheels gone, sometimes the whole engine pulled. We will still buy it — a bare shell has real scrap value — but the number is lower than a complete car and it is better for both of us if you say so on the phone.

The quote we give you is built from your description. Tell us the converter is gone and the number we quote is the number the driver hands you. Leave it out and we have to reprice at the curb, which nobody enjoys.

Lake County paperwork and abandoned vehicles

Gary enforces on vehicles sitting derelict on the street, and a car in the parkway can turn into a city problem faster than one in a back yard. If you have a notice, getting the car gone is usually the whole fix.

Ownership is handled through the Indiana BMV. If you have the title, bring it plus two forms of ID. If you do not — inherited car, bought years ago with a handshake, previous owner long gone — call with the year and VIN and we will tell you honestly whether we can complete it.

★ THE PROCESS

Three steps.
Often same day.

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.

STEP 01

Call us

Year, make, model, and honest condition. Thirty seconds on the phone and we quote you on the spot. Lines are open 24 hours.

STEP 02

We send the truck

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.

STEP 03

Cash, then it's gone

Driver checks the vehicle, confirms the price, hands you cash, completes the paperwork, and hauls it off.

★ WHAT WE TAKE

If it has four wheels,
we'll make an offer.

  • Non-running, dead battery, blown engine or transmission
  • Accident damage, total losses, insurance write-offs
  • Flood, fire and storm damage
  • Failed emissions or inspection, not worth the repair
  • Sitting in the yard for years, expired plates, flat tires
  • High-mileage trade-ins the dealer wouldn't touch
  • Vans, pickups, box trucks and full-size SUVs

No title? We'll still buy it.

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:

  • The title, if you've got it — fastest and pays the most
  • Registration, an old insurance card, or a bill of sale
  • Two forms of ID, one a driver's license or state ID

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

Know what moves
the number.

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.

RAISES IT

Complete & heavy

Engine and transmission still in it, catalytic converter attached, all four wheels on, newer model year, title in hand.

LOWERS IT

Stripped or missing

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.

YOUR CALL

Nothing is forced

If the price at the curb doesn't work for you, walk away. No tow charge, no callout fee, no obligation to sell.

★ QUESTIONS

Before you call

Do you really cover Gary?

Yes. Gary is part of our regular route from our yard at 426 E 142nd St in Dolton, and the towing is free.

How fast can you pick up?

Often the same day, and we run pickups overnight as well. Tell us your deadline when you call and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet it.

Do I need the title?

No. We buy vehicles without titles and handle the ownership paperwork. Have the year and VIN ready when you call.

Do you actually come out to Gary?

Yes, regularly — Glen Park, Midtown, Tolleston, Downtown and out to Miller Beach. Glen Park is about twenty-two minutes from our Dolton yard, Miller closer to thirty-five. Towing is free either way.

The converter and wheels are already gone. Still worth anything?

Yes. A stripped shell still has scrap weight, and we buy them. The price is lower than a complete car, so tell us what is missing when you call and the quote will hold when the driver arrives.
