How does junk car removal work in Gary?
You send the year, make, model and the street the car is on. We call with an offer, a tow truck comes to the car, and you are paid at pickup. Towing is free and same-day pickup is available. There is nothing to drive in and nothing to disassemble.
Why people call us
A car that will not start is more than an eyesore in Gary. The city’s ordinance bars leaving a vehicle on public or private property in a way that looks abandoned, and it names partly dismantled, non-operating and wrecked vehicles on private premises too. Moving the car on a schedule you control beats waiting for a tag on the windshield.
What we need to know
The year, make and model, whether it starts, whether the catalytic converter is still on it, and what paper you hold. A photo is not required. Honest answers matter because the offer is built on what the truck finds at the curb.
Where the truck can reach
Driveways, alleys, street parking, repair-shop lots and apartment lots. If the car is boxed in behind a gate or a fence, mention it. If the vehicle sits in a place you do not own, the owner of the lot has to agree to the pickup.
The paper
Indiana wants the title or a BMV certificate of authority for any junk car sale to a recycler. If you hold neither, read the no-title guide before you call so you know which questions we will ask.

Questions people ask

- No. Towing is free, and you are paid at pickup.
- Do I have to be home when the truck comes?
