Questions about selling your junk car
Selling your junk car
What kinds of junk cars do you buy?
We buy many kinds of junk cars, including damaged, wrecked, non-running, old, scrap and high-mileage vehicles. Tell us about yours and our team will review it.
See the vehicles we buyHow do I get a cash offer for my junk car?
Complete the two-step form with your vehicle's year, make, model, condition and title status plus your contact details, or call (734) 482-4670. Our team reviews the information and contacts you about an offer.
Request a cash offerIs my offer calculated automatically online?
No. We don't use an online price calculator. A member of our team reviews your vehicle's details before making an offer, so the offer reflects the actual vehicle.
What information should I have ready?
The year, make and model, a description of the condition, whether you have the title, the ZIP code where the vehicle is located and the best phone number to reach you. The VIN and mileage are helpful but not required to get started.
Am I obligated to accept the offer?
No. Requesting an offer doesn't commit you to anything. If you decide to go ahead, we'll coordinate the next steps with you.
Vehicle condition
Does my car need to run?
No. You can request an offer for a car that doesn't start or can't be driven. Choose the condition that best describes it so our team can review it accurately.
Will you look at a car that's missing parts?
Yes, you can request an offer. Select "Incomplete / stripped" on the form and tell us what's missing when we follow up.
Do I need to clean out or repair the car first?
You don't need to repair anything. Do remove your personal belongings, garage door openers and anything else you want to keep before the vehicle leaves your possession.
Title & paperwork
Do I need the title to sell my junk car?
Please tell us whether you have the title when you request an offer — it's one of the most important details for our review. Requirements depend on your situation, so if you don't have it, call us before assuming either way and we'll explain what's needed.
What if my title is lost?
In Michigan, replacement titles are handled by the Michigan Secretary of State. If you've lost the title, let us know when you contact us so we can talk through your options.
What about my license plate?
In Michigan the plate generally stays with the owner rather than the vehicle. Remove your plate before the vehicle leaves your possession; the Michigan Secretary of State can confirm what to do with it.
