★ ILLINOIS SELLERS · WHAT TO HAVE READY
The mechanics of selling a junk car in Illinois are straightforward once you know what to have ready and what to do afterwards.
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.
The title is the cleanest route. Illinois also recognises other ownership documents including salvage certificates and junking certificates, and licensed buyers are set up to handle vehicles where the title is missing.
You will also need two forms of identification, one of which should be a driver's license or state ID. Have the VIN available when you call.
In Illinois, license plates belong to you rather than to the vehicle. Remove them before the car is picked up. Leaving them on a car you no longer own is how people end up connected to a vehicle they sold months ago.
You can transfer plates to another vehicle or return them. Do not leave them attached.
Cancel insurance after the vehicle has been collected, not before. If it is still on your property and still yours, keep it covered until it leaves.
Once the sale is complete, notify the Secretary of State that you have transferred the vehicle. This is the step people skip, and it is the one that prevents you being contacted about a car that is no longer yours.
Check the glovebox, the center console, under all the seats, the trunk, the spare wheel well, and any door pockets. People routinely find documents, spare keys, and personal items in cars they were certain were empty.
Once the vehicle leaves, retrieving something from it is not straightforward.
★ 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. In Illinois plates belong to you, not the car. Take them off before pickup.
After the vehicle has been collected, not before.
We buy vehicles without titles and handle the paperwork. Call with the year and VIN to confirm your situation.
One call, a real number, and cash in your hand when the truck pulls away. We're open right now.
