Every make, any condition
We buy junk cars whatever the badge says: dead, wrecked, rusted out or simply not worth fixing. A make that isn't listed here is still welcome. The pages below are for owners who want to know more about their own car first: which models of each make we see most, the documented problems that send them to the scrapyard, and what to remove or switch off before pickup.
American makes
Detroit-built sedans, pickups and SUVs, including the brands GM and Ford have since retired.
Japanese makes
The high-mileage commuters that make up a large share of what gets scrapped around Chicago.
Korean makes
Hyundai, Kia and their relatives, including models covered by engine recall and settlement programs.
European makes
German, British, Swedish and Italian cars, where repair bills often outrun the car's value first.
Electric vehicles
Battery-electric cars, which need different handling at pickup and at the recycler.
Not sure of the year or model?
The 17-character VIN on the dashboard or door jamb tells us. Run it through our VIN decoder, or just send it with your quote request.
