Junk cars bought
in Chatham

Chatham is bungalow country, which means detached garages off the alley and cars that stopped running in them a long time ago. Flat tires, no keys, sitting on the same slab since 2016 — that's a normal pickup for us, not a complication.

Chatham is bungalow country. That means detached garages off the alley and, very often, a car that stopped running in one a long time ago. Flat tires, a dead battery, brake rotors rusted to the drums, sitting on the same slab since 2016 — that's a normal pickup for us, not a complication.

What we see most in Chatham

• Bungalow garage and alley pickups
• Cars that haven't moved in five or more years
• Seized brakes and flat tires handled
• Second vehicles taking up a garage bay

What we'll take anywhere

We also take anything that won't turn over, won't pass a test, or isn't worth another repair bill. Collision write-offs and salvage-titled cars are fine. Larger vehicles — trucks, vans, full-size SUVs — tend to pay better simply because there's more metal. Flood and fire damage are no obstacle either.

Most people are surprised by what we'll buy. If your car is in worse shape than anything listed here, it's still worth the call.

What decides the price

What the vehicle weighs matters most. After that, what it is and whether parts on it still have a market. A large vehicle that hasn't run in years can easily outprice a small one that drives fine. Prices move with the metal market. Worth asking again if you shelved the idea.

Getting it done in Chatham

Start with a call or a text. Tell us what the car is and what happened to it, and send a photo or two if you can. We quote you there and then, and if you agree we're usually out within a day.

You keep your license plates; they stay with you, not the car. Take your toll transponder off the windshield and check the glovebox, console and trunk before we arrive. Don't cancel your insurance until the car is actually gone, and file a seller's report of sale with the Illinois Secretary of State afterwards.

No title in Chatham?

Don't let missing paperwork stop you. We buy without a title in most situations — we just need your ID and a document connecting you to the vehicle. Some situations genuinely don't work, a car still under a loan being the common one. Tell us on the phone and you'll get a straight answer before anyone drives anywhere.
