How We Buy Your Junk Car
How does selling a junk car to you work?
Cash For Junk Cars Tim's LLC buys junk cars in four steps: you describe the car, we give you an offer, we check your paperwork on the call, and our tow truck picks the car up from your Chicago street, alley or lot. Our truck hauls it off at no charge, and you leave with the money that same visit by cash, Zelle or Cash App.
1. You describe the car
Use the offer form or call. We ask the year, make, model, whether it runs, what's damaged or missing, and where it's parked.
2. We make an offer
The offer comes from the vehicle's weight, the parts still on it and demand for those parts. It doesn't expire, so you can take time to clear the car or find papers.
3. We check the paperwork
If you have the title, that's simple. If not, tell us what you have; Illinois rules decide which papers work for a scrap sale, and we check them with you by phone. Our page on cars without a title has more.
4. Free tow, payment on the spot
Our tow truck comes to the car. Same-day pickup is often possible. We check the car matches the description, you sign it over and you're paid by cash, Zelle or Cash App. Keep your plates; the plates and city sticker guide explains what to do with them.
Questions people ask us
- Will the offer change when the truck arrives?
- Only if the car isn't what was described, for example a missing engine we weren't told about. That's why we ask detailed questions up front.
- What do I sign at pickup?
- You sign the vehicle over to us using the title or the papers we agreed on during the call, and show your ID.
- Can a relative or neighbor meet the truck instead of me?
- Tell us on the call. Who can sign depends on whose name is on the paperwork, so we work it out before the pickup.
