Junk cars bought
in Chinatown

Parking around Wentworth and Cermak is tight enough without a car that doesn't start taking up a spot. We work the narrow blocks and loading zones here regularly and can time a pickup for a quieter part of the day so the tow isn't blocking anyone.

Parking around Wentworth and Cermak is difficult on a good day. A car that doesn't start sitting in a spot is costing somebody something every hour. We work these blocks often and can schedule the tow for a quieter part of the day so we're not blocking a loading zone or a business entrance while we load.

What we see most in Chinatown

• Timed pickups to avoid blocking traffic
• Loading zone and narrow street access
• Restaurant and business lot clearances
• Cars ticketed or close to being towed by the city

What we'll take anywhere

We're also interested in cars that won't start, won't pass, or aren't worth fixing again. Crash write-offs and salvage-title vehicles included. Vans, pickups and SUVs usually fetch more than a small car because of what they weigh. Flooded, burnt and partially stripped vehicles are all fine.

If it has four wheels and it's reached the end of the road, it's worth a phone call. We'd rather tell you no in thirty seconds than have you assume the answer and keep the car another year.

What decides the price

Weight is the biggest factor, followed by the make and model and whether any parts are still worth pulling. That's why a rusted pickup can be worth more than a tidy compact. Metal prices shift constantly, so quotes go stale fast. Worth asking again if you shelved the idea.

Getting it done in Chinatown

Give us the year, make, model and the problem, by phone or text. Photos are welcome and make the quote sharper. We give you the number right away and can usually collect the same day.

Five minutes of prep saves a headache. Clear every compartment, pull the transponder, keep the plates. Cancel insurance only after the car has physically left, and file your seller's report of sale with the state.

No title in Chinatown?

Missing paperwork doesn't have to end the sale. In most situations your photo ID plus an old registration, insurance card or bill of sale is enough for us to work with. 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.
