Remove My Clunker

How Much Does It Cost to Tow Away My Junk Car?

Maybe you have an old clunker cluttering up your property but you don’t want to pay a towing company to haul it away. Well, you’re in luck. Professional junk car removal services are popping that not only won’t charge you - they’ll pay for the car. Yes, you’re reading that correctly. They will pay cash for your clunker.

Here’s what you need to do:

Gather Some Information

If you don’t know off the top of your head, find out the year, make, model and submodel (i.e. LE, LX, SE) of the car. That information alone will be enough to get a quote, but it’s helpful if you’re also able to describe the condition of the car. If the car is in great shape, you might be able to get more money than initially offered.

Common questions about condition include:

What is the mileage?

Is the car drivable?

Are all the tires inflated with air?

Are there any dents baseball-sized or larger?

Does the car have fire or flood damage?

Are all of the interior components intact?

Keep in mind, though, that most companies have limits as to how old the car can be. Very few companies will take cars made in the 50s, 60s or 70s. Often, cars that old are simply not worth enough to make the free pickup worthwhile.

Fill Out an Online Form

Once you’ve gathered all of the necessary info, visit the junk car removal service’s website and fill out a quick form. Answer a few simple questions and get an instant quote - the whole process takes about 30 seconds. You’ll be asked to provide your email address but it will not be shared with third parties.

Schedule a Pickup

If you like the price, the only thing left to do is schedule a pickup. Most companies are happy to work around your schedule. Often, the car can be picked up the same day or the next business day. You can opt for the company to mail you a check, or you can choose to collect cash on the spot.
