The process
How buying your junk car works
Four steps, no trip to a yard, and a clear explanation of the paper Indiana requires.
The four steps
- You send the vehicle details. Year, make, model, title status, your name, phone and where the vehicle is. The form takes about a minute; the phone works too.
- We call back with an offer. Expect questions about the condition, whether it starts, and whether the converter is on it. Honest answers get you a number you can rely on at the curb.
- A truck comes to the vehicle. Towing is free. Same-day pickup is available, so say early if timing matters.
- You are paid at pickup. You hand over the paper, we load the vehicle, and the payment happens right there.
What we need from you
The title, or a BMV certificate of authority, in your name or properly signed over. If you have only a registration, a bill of sale or an insurance card, tell us; Indiana law decides whether that is enough for your car's age, and we explain it on the call. The long version is in the no-title guide.
What changes the offer
Vehicle weight, whether it is complete, the catalytic converter, and parts demand for that model. Condition after a crash matters less than people expect; a wrecked heavy truck can still outweigh a clean small car. Details by vehicle type are on the vehicle types pages, and by brand on the make pages.
What we do not do
We do not take drop-offs at the lot on West 9th Avenue, and we do not tow east of Gary. If your vehicle is in Portage or Porter County, we are not the right call.
