★ DEAD ENGINE · WON'T START · WON'T MOVE
A car that will not start is the single most common vehicle we buy. It does not need to run for us to want it.
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.
There is a real difference between a car that turns over but will not catch, one that is silent when you turn the key, one that starts but will not move, and one that has not been attempted in three years. Each is worth a slightly different amount.
The distinction matters because a car that runs has a working engine with parts value. One that does not is priced closer to scrap weight plus whatever else is salvageable. Describe which situation yours is and the quote will be accurate.
People often ask whether replacing the battery or fixing the starter would raise the offer. Almost always the repair costs more than it adds. Diagnostic time alone can exceed the difference.
Sell it as it sits. On a low-value vehicle you are very unlikely to recover repair costs in a higher offer.
Long-parked vehicles bring their own complications. Tires rotted flat, brakes seized, the car sunk into gravel or grass, and often other things stored around or on top of it.
None of that stops us, but it determines which truck we send. Mention it on the phone and clear an access path if you can.
★ 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
Almost never. Repair costs on a low-value vehicle usually exceed what they add to the offer.
Somewhat. A car with a good engine that stopped for an electrical reason is worth more than one with a seized or cracked block.
Yes. Just tell us the access situation so we send the right equipment.
One call, a real number, and cash in your hand when the truck pulls away. We're open right now.
