What we buy, and how each kind of sale works
What kinds of vehicles do you purchase?
Chicago Junk Car Buyers purchases cars, trucks, vans and SUVs in any condition on the Far South Side: dead, wrecked, flooded, burned, stripped, or simply too old to be worth fixing. If it still runs but isn't worth fixing, that counts too. Every sale comes with free towing and payment at pickup.
Tell us what it is
Step 1 of 2
Towing is free, and you're paid when the truck collects the car.

Selling a car that won't start on the Far South Side
Dead engine, flat tires, no keys. If it can't move on its own, the truck brings the winch.
Wrecked, totaled or stripped: we still buy it
Front end gone, airbags out, or declared a total loss. We price what's left.
Can I sell a car after an accident, even if insurance totaled it?
No title for the car? Start with what you do have
Title lost, never transferred, or in a relative's name. We sort out which papers fit before the truck comes.
Junk trucks, vans and SUVs on the Far South Side
Pickups, work vans, minivans and SUVs, including the one that's been parked since the business closed.
Flood-damaged and fire-damaged cars, bought as they are
Water to the dashboard or a burned-out engine bay. The metal still counts.
Free junk car removal, from the call to the truck pulling away
Curb, alley, driveway, garage or apartment lot. The truck comes to the car.
What every sale has in common
Whatever the vehicle, the steps are the same: you describe it, we give you a number, our tow truck comes from S Yale Ave and loads it, and you're paid in cash, Zelle or Cash App before it leaves.
