Sell Your Non-Running Car for Cash
Car won't start? Transmission shot? Engine blown? It doesn't matter. We buy non-running vehicles with free flatbed towing and cash at pickup.
Problems We Accept
There is no mechanical failure too severe for us to buy. If your vehicle has any of these problems — or all of them — we'll still make you a cash offer.
Engine Failure
Blown engine, seized motor, burned valves, spun bearings, cracked block. Whether it won't turn over or threw a rod through the oil pan, we buy it.
Transmission Problems
Won't shift, slipping between gears, grinding, burnt-out clutch, or complete transmission failure — automatic or manual. No problem.
Electrical Issues
Dead battery, bad alternator, no-start due to ECU failure, wiring fire damage, or a complete electrical system shutdown. We buy them regardless.
Severe Body Damage
Major collision damage, fire damage, flood damage, rolled vehicles, or cars crushed by falling trees. The scrap metal value remains even when the body is compromised.
Missing Parts
Missing doors, hood, trunk lid, or stripped interior. We adjust the offer to reflect missing components and still pay cash for what's there.
Rust and Frame Damage
Severe surface rust, rusted floor panels, or even significant frame rot. Even heavily rusted vehicles still contain valuable recyclable steel.
What a Non-Running Car Is Worth
The value of a non-running car is driven by the same factors as any junk vehicle — weight, catalytic converter status, make and model, and title — minus a small reduction for the extra towing complexity. Here are realistic estimates for Georgia in 2026:
Ranges assume catalytic converter is present and Georgia scrap steel at $0.085–$0.11/lb.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much less is a non-running car worth compared to one that runs?
Usually $50–$150 less for the same vehicle in the same condition. The difference exists because a running car is cheaper to transport (no flatbed required) and may have parts that are easier to test before resale. However, the scrap metal value and catalytic converter value don't change whether the car runs or not — so the gap is smaller than most people expect.
My car is locked and the keys are lost — can you still tow it?
Yes. Our flatbed tow trucks can load most locked vehicles without keys. We use wheel lifts and winches to move vehicles safely onto the truck. If the vehicle is in a garage or in a tight space, call ahead so we can bring the right equipment. This situation is common and is not a problem.
Do you buy cars with blown engines?
Absolutely. A blown engine is one of the most common reasons people sell a junk car. The engine may be worthless as a reusable component, but the rest of the vehicle — transmission, catalytic converter, body panels, and all the scrap steel — still has significant value. Call us with your year, make, and model and we'll give you a fair offer regardless of engine condition.
What if the car is stuck in a garage or hard to access?
Let us know the situation when you call. Our drivers are experienced with tight garages, apartment parking structures, and muddy yards. We carry wheel dollies and can usually handle access challenges. In rare cases where the vehicle is genuinely unreachable, we can discuss options — but most situations are workable.
Can I sell a non-running car without a title?
If the vehicle is from model year 2014 or earlier (the Georgia 12-year rule), yes — you can sell it without a title using just your photo ID and a bill of sale. For newer non-running vehicles, a title is preferred. If you've lost your title, call us and we'll tell you exactly what we need before scheduling pickup.
