Dead in the driveway

We buy cars that don't run

A car that doesn't run isn't worth nothing — it's worth whatever it's worth minus the problem. We price it on the car, not on the fact that it won't move.

500+ cars bought 5+ years in the northwest suburbs Free towing, always

Won't start at all

Dead battery, bad starter, seized engine, or something that's been sitting so long nobody's sure. We don't need it to start. Tell us what happened when it stopped and roughly how long ago.

Starts but won't drive

Failed transmission, bad clutch, broken axle. This is one of the categories where we usually pay noticeably more than a scrap yard would, because the rest of the car is often perfectly sound.

Runs but shouldn't

Overheating, smoking, failed emissions, or something that's genuinely unsafe. Don't drive it to us — that's what the free tow is for.
