★ RIVERDALE, IL · FREE TOWING · OPEN 24 HOURS
Riverdale is the closest town to our yard — about five minutes up 138th Street — which makes it our quickest pickup outside Dolton itself.
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.
Our yard is at 426 E 142nd St, a few blocks over the Dolton line. Getting to Riverdale means driving up 138th or Indiana Avenue. Five minutes, no expressway, no traffic to plan around.
This is as close as it gets. Call in the morning and the car is usually gone before lunch. If you need it off the street tonight because of a ticket or a landlord, Riverdale is the one town where we can nearly always say yes to that.
Riverdale housing runs to modest lots with single-car garages, shared driveways and streets where parking is tight enough that a dead car is a real problem for the whole block. A lot of our calls here start with a neighbor rather than the owner.
The complication is almost always access rather than the car. Something parked behind another vehicle, up against a fence, or in a drive too narrow for a full-size wrecker. Tell us the layout on the phone and we send the truck that fits.
Riverdale shares the Little Calumet with us and shares the flooding, so we tow a lot of water-damaged vehicles out of here. We also get a lot of cars that simply stopped — a battery that died two winters ago and nobody got round to it.
Neither one costs you much. A junk price is built on curb weight plus what can be salvaged: engine, transmission, catalytic converter, wheels. Whether the car starts, and whether it once sat in six inches of water, barely enters into it.
Illinois vehicles go through the Secretary of State, and a junked car follows the junking process rather than an ordinary title transfer. It is our home state and our routine work.
Title plus two forms of ID is the fast version. If there is no title, call with the year and the VIN — untitled cars are a weekly occurrence and we handle the ownership side ourselves. Pull your plates before we load and cancel the insurance after the car leaves, not before.
★ 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. Riverdale is part of our regular route from our yard at 426 E 142nd St in Dolton, and the towing is free.
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.
No. We buy vehicles without titles and handle the ownership paperwork. Have the year and VIN ready when you call.
Riverdale is about five minutes from our yard — the closest town we serve besides Dolton. Same-day is nearly always available, and we can often be there within a couple of hours.
No, but tell us on the phone. Shared drives and tight Riverdale lots decide which truck we send. Our drivers will not ask you to move anything yourself.
One call, a real number, and cash in your hand when the truck pulls away. We're open right now.
