Gary in a paragraph
Gary was founded in 1906 by U.S. Steel as the home of Gary Works and named for Elbert H. Gary. The city is T-shaped, with Lake Michigan to the north, Hammond and East Chicago at the northwest, and Griffith, Hobart and Merrillville to the south. Broadway runs north to south through downtown.
Why a dead car becomes a problem here
About one in four housing units counted in 2020 was vacant, and the city has spent years dealing with abandoned property. Its code bars abandoned, wrecked and non-operating vehicles from public and private premises alike. A car that sits in a driveway or an alley can draw a notice, and a car that blocks a snow route can be towed. Selling first keeps the decision yours. The Gary rules guide lists the sections.
How we work in Gary
Send the year, make, model and the street. We call back, and a truck comes to the car. The tow costs you nothing, and payment happens when the car is collected. We reach every neighborhood from the lot on West 9th Avenue, including Glen Park, Miller Beach and Brunswick.
Paper
