Step 4: Complete Paperwork
When the tow truck arrives, you'll sign a bill of sale and transfer the title (if you have one). Bring a valid photo ID. If your car is over 12 years old and you don't have the title, Georgia law may allow you to sell without one. Read more about scrapping a car without a title in Georgia.
