About Junk My Car Inc
What does Junk My Car Inc do?
Junk My Car Inc buys junk, wrecked and non-running cars, trucks, vans and SUVs, and tows them away for free. We work across Chicago and its west and southwest suburbs, from Oak Park to Park Forest, and in Northwest Indiana as far as Gary. Sellers are paid at pickup, and our offers don't expire.
What we buy
Any vehicle, in any condition. That includes cars that won't start, cars with no keys, cars that have been in a crash, cars that burned or flooded, and cars stripped of parts. We buy cars with a title, and in some cases without one, depending on the state's rules and the papers you hold. Our title guide sets out how that works in Illinois and Indiana.
Corridors our tow trucks cover
Our town pages cover the near west and DuPage suburbs, the Archer Avenue and Palos towns, Will County, and the south suburbs from Blue Island to University Park, each with the local parking and dead-car rules that shape a pickup there. Chicago addresses are covered too. In Indiana we stop at Gary and the towns touching it. The full list of towns we serve groups every page by area.
How a sale with us works
You describe the car, by form or by phone. We call back with an offer, within 15 minutes of a form request. If you accept, we set a pickup time; often that can be the same day. The tow is free, nothing is taken off the offer for it, and you're paid when the car is loaded, by cash, Zelle, Cash App or another app. One visit can take several cars, and we collect from driveways, garages, repair shops and apartment or HOA lots when the property allows it.
We don't publish a price list. Every offer is made for the specific car, on the call, and our terms explain what happens if the car or papers turn out different from the description. Your details stay with us; see the privacy policy.
When to reach us
Calls and pickups run from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Central time, every day of the week. The contact page has the phone number and the quickest ways to reach us.
Left off this site on purpose
No star ratings, no testimonials and no claims we can't back up. What's here instead is the process, the rules in each town, and plain answers to the questions sellers ask. Our selling advice pages go deeper.
