Quick Answer
Yes, we buy cars that don't run — any reason, any location in Georgia. Our flatbed truck can winch or roll a completely dead vehicle without needing it to start. Call (678) 490-7989, describe the situation, and we'll give you a firm cash offer and schedule pickup.
Why the Car Doesn't Run — and What It Means for Your Offer
Dead battery / bad alternator
No reductionIf the car doesn't run only because of a dead battery or failed alternator, it's worth the same as a running car. The underlying vehicle is fine. Offer not affected.
Blown engine or seized motor
Moderate reductionAn engine that has seized, spun a bearing, or hydrolocked reduces the offer compared to a running car — but the vehicle still has scrap weight and parts value. Still worth calling.
Transmission failure
Moderate reductionA car that won't move due to transmission failure is treated similarly to a blown engine. Weight and parts value still apply. See our transmission page for specifics.
Locked brakes / won't roll
Usually minimalBrakes that are seized or locked don't prevent pickup — we use a winch to load the car onto the flatbed. The vehicle value is based on its overall condition, not the brake issue alone.
Fire or flood damage
Lower offerNon-running vehicles from fires or floods have the lowest offer range — but we still buy them. Even a completely burned or flooded vehicle has scrap metal value.
Missing parts — engine pulled, etc.
Case by caseVehicles with missing engines, transmissions, or other major components are bought on a case-by-case basis. Tell us what's missing and we'll quote accordingly.

How Pickup Works for Non-Running Cars
Call (678) 490-7989 and describe the situation — year, make, model, why it doesn't run, and where it's located. We give you a firm offer over the phone. If you accept, we schedule a flatbed pickup.
Our flatbed truck is equipped with a winch for vehicles that cannot roll. We load from driveways, parking lots, storage units, and roadside positions. If the vehicle is at a repair shop, we coordinate directly with the shop.
Bring your title and a photo ID. We sign the paperwork and hand you cash on the spot. The whole on-site process takes 20–30 minutes.
Non-Running Car FAQs
Do you really buy cars that don't run at all?
Yes. We buy cars that cannot move under their own power — dead engines, seized motors, locked brakes, missing transmissions, no batteries. Whatever the reason it doesn't run, we pick it up on a flatbed at no cost to you.
How do you tow a car that doesn't run?
We use a flatbed tow truck specifically for non-running vehicles. The car is winched or rolled onto the flatbed without needing to start. Flat tires, locked wheels, or missing tires don't prevent pickup — we handle all of it.
Do I get less money because the car doesn't run?
Sometimes — it depends on the reason. If the car doesn't run due to a dead battery, it's worth the same as a running car. If it doesn't run because the engine is seized or blown, the offer reflects that — but the vehicle still has scrap and parts value. We'll tell you exactly what affects your offer when you call.
Can you pick up a non-running car from a driveway or apartment lot?
Yes. We pick up from driveways, apartment parking lots, storage facilities, body shops, and roadside locations. If the flatbed can reach it, we can pick it up. Provide the address and any access details when you call.
Does the non-running car need to have tires to be picked up?
No. We can pick up vehicles with flat, missing, or destroyed tires. The flatbed is equipped to handle these situations. Mention the tire situation when you call so we can bring the right equipment.
