Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about junk car removal and metal recycling.
Do you need a title to junk a car?
In most cases, yes — but if your title is lost, we can often still buy your vehicle. We may just need some additional paperwork. Contact us with your situation and we'll walk you through it.
Is towing free?
Yes! Towing is always free when we buy your junk car. We come to your location — home, business, or anywhere in the Aurora area — pick up the vehicle at no charge, and pay you cash on the spot.
How fast can you pick up my car?
In many cases we can arrange same-day or next-day pickup. Once you get a quote and accept the offer, we'll schedule a pickup time that works for you. Call us at 630-262-3888 for fastest service.
What kinds of cars do you take?
We buy all makes and models — cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and more. Running or not. No engine, damaged, flooded, totaled, high mileage — it doesn't matter. If it's a vehicle with metal in it, we want it.
How do I get paid?
We pay cash or check at the time of pickup. Once we agree on a price and the tow truck arrives, you get paid immediately — no waiting.
How is my car priced?
Junk car prices are based on the current scrap metal market, the weight of the vehicle, its condition, and the make/model/year. We give honest quotes based on these factors. Call or use our online form to get a free quote.
What metals do you accept?
We accept all types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals including iron, steel, aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, lead, and more. If you're not sure whether we take a specific material, just call us.
Do I need to separate my metals?
It's helpful but not required. Sorted, clean metals typically get a higher per-pound price, but we accept mixed loads as well. Our team can sort at our facility. If you want to maximize your payout, separating by metal type is recommended.
What do I need to bring when I drop off scrap metal?
Just your metal and a valid ID. We'll weigh your load on our certified scale and pay you on the spot. For larger commercial loads, call ahead so we can be ready for you.
Do you buy appliances?
Yes! We accept refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, and other household appliances. These contain recyclable metals and we will pay you for them. Some appliances may need freon removed before acceptance — contact us for specifics.
