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.

Before you call

Find your paperwork. The title is best. If you do not have it, registration, an old insurance card, or a bill of sale all help, and we buy vehicles without titles regularly. Have your photo ID ready as well.

Then go look at the car. Does it start? Does it move under its own power? Are all four wheels on it? Is the catalytic converter still underneath? Has anything been removed for parts? Those five answers determine most of the offer, and knowing them before you call means the quote you get is the quote you keep.

On the phone

Give us the year, make, model, and honest condition. The estimator on this page will get you a ballpark first if you want one before you speak to anyone.

Describe the damage accurately. Sellers sometimes soften the description hoping for a better quote, and that always backfires at the curb. A car described accurately gets a price that holds.

Pickup day

Take your plates off. Empty the car completely, and check the glovebox, the console, under the seats, and the trunk, because people find documents and valuables in cars they thought were empty.

Somebody needs to be there with the keys and paperwork to take the cash and sign. It does not have to be you if you arrange it in advance. Cancel your insurance after the car leaves, not before.

★ 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

How long does the whole thing take?

The call takes a couple of minutes. Pickup is usually the same day or the next day. The pickup itself is fifteen or twenty minutes at the curb.

Do I need to clean the car?

No. Just take out anything you want to keep. Trash in the footwells does not affect the price.

What if I change my mind when the driver arrives?

Then you keep the car. There is no towing charge, no callout fee, and no obligation to sell.

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.
