Prepare Your Vehicle
Remove all personal belongings, cancel your insurance, and return your license plates to the Georgia DMV. If you have the title, sign it over. If you don't have a title for a 2014 or earlier vehicle, just have your photo ID ready.
Junk Car Pickup
Our flatbed tow truck arrives at your location. The driver inspects the vehicle (to match the description you gave), loads it onto the flatbed, and handles all paperwork. This typically takes 15–30 minutes.
Get Paid
The moment your car is loaded and paperwork is signed, you receive cash payment. There are no deductions, no towing fees, and no waiting for a check in the mail. The process is complete.

What do I need for junk car removal?
For a titled vehicle: the signed title and a photo ID. For a no-title vehicle (2014 and earlier in Georgia): just a valid Georgia photo ID. Also remove all personal belongings before pickup, as the vehicle cannot be returned once loaded.
Do I need to be home for junk car removal?
Yes — you or an authorized adult must be present to sign the title transfer and receive cash payment. The driver cannot accept a vehicle without the seller present.
What if my junk car is not running — can it still be removed?
Yes. Our flatbed tow trucks can remove vehicles that are not running, have flat tires, or have been sitting for years. We do not require the vehicle to be able to move on its own.
Do I need to clean out my junk car before removal?
Yes — remove all personal belongings before the driver arrives. This includes CDs/DVDs in the stereo, tools in the trunk, paperwork in the glove box, and any aftermarket items you want to keep. Once the vehicle is loaded, we cannot unload it.
What happens to my junk car after removal?
After pickup, your vehicle is delivered to a licensed dismantler. Reusable parts are removed first. All hazardous fluids (oil, antifreeze, freon, brake fluid) are drained and properly disposed of. The remaining shell is shredded and the steel is recycled — approximately 80–85% of the vehicle by weight is recovered.
