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.

Indiana paperwork

Indiana has its own ownership documents and its own equivalents to salvage and junking certificates. Requirements differ from Illinois in the details.

Bring your title if you have it, plus two forms of identification. If you do not have the title, call with the year and VIN and we will confirm your specific situation before we send a truck.

Plates and registration

As in Illinois, remove your plates before the vehicle is collected. They are yours, not the car's. Notify the BMV that the vehicle has been transferred once the sale is complete.

Cancel insurance after the car has actually left, not before.

Where we cover in Indiana

Hammond, Gary, East Chicago, Munster, Highland, Griffith, Schererville, Merrillville, Dyer, Crown Point and Hobart are all regular routes for us. Being based in Dolton puts us minutes from the state line.

If your town is not listed and you are in Lake or Porter County, call and ask. If it is close, we will come.

★ 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 actually cross the state line?

Daily. Our yard in Dolton is minutes from Hammond, and Northwest Indiana is a core part of our service area.

Is the paperwork different from Illinois?

In the details, yes. Call with your situation and we will tell you what is needed for an Indiana vehicle.

Do I need to bring the car to you?

No. We tow free from anywhere in our Indiana coverage area.

Get it off your driveway
tonight.

One call, a real number, and cash in your hand when the truck pulls away. We're open right now.
