Junk cars bought
in South Loop

The South Loop is mostly condo and high-rise territory, which means garage pickups. That takes a little planning — clearance heights, ramp access, sometimes a building manager to notify. Tell us the building when you call and we'll bring the right truck and handle the access side of it.

South Loop pickups are mostly garage jobs, which needs a little planning nobody thinks about until the truck is already there. Clearance heights vary by building, ramps are narrow, and some buildings want notice before a tow truck comes through. Tell us the building when you call and we'll bring the right truck and sort the access side out ahead of time.

What we'll take anywhere

The wider list: non-runners, emissions failures, cars where the next repair costs more than the car. Accident write-offs, including ones already titled salvage. Pickups, vans and SUVs, which usually beat a compact on weight alone. Flood-damaged, fire-damaged, and half-stripped vehicles.

Anything with four wheels and no future is fair game. A quick call settles it, and we'll be honest if it isn't one for us.

What decides the price

Weight first, then make, model and year, then any parts still worth salvaging. It's why the beaten-up van in the driveway sometimes surprises people. Because scrap rates fluctuate, an old quote isn't a reliable guide. Worth asking again if you shelved the idea.

Getting it done in South Loop

It starts with a message: year, make, model, condition. Photos speed things up. We come back with a figure immediately, and if it suits you we book the pickup — frequently the same day you called.

Plates come off and stay with you. Clear out the glovebox, console and trunk — things get left behind constantly. Grab your transponder off the windshield. Keep the insurance active until the car has left, then file a seller's report of sale with the Secretary of State.

No title in South Loop?

Losing the title stops a lot of people from selling, and in most cases it shouldn't. We can usually still buy the car with your photo ID and something showing it's yours — an old registration, an insurance card, a bill of sale. 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.
