About Cash for Junk Cars Gary

What we do

We buy cars that have reached the end of the road: cars that don't run, cars that were in a wreck, cars that failed one repair too many, and cars that have been sitting so long nobody remembers the last oil change. Trucks, vans and SUVs too, in any condition: burned, flooded, stripped or simply worn out. We don't buy good running used cars to resell; if yours still has years left in it, a used-car sale will serve you better.

Where we buy

Gary first: Glen Park, Midtown, Pulaski, Emerson and every other part of the city. We also buy in Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago, Munster, Highland, Griffith, Merrillville, Hobart, Lake Station, New Chicago, and across Chicagoland. Our Gary neighborhoods page has local pickup notes.

How we price a junk car

You won't find a price list on this site, and that's on purpose. A junk car's value depends on its weight, the parts still on it, whether it runs, its paperwork, and the scrap metal market that month. A single posted number can't account for any of that. So we ask four questions, call you, and give you a number for your car.

If you want to see the reasoning before you ask, we've written it down: what a junk car is worth in Gary, what changes the offer, why similar cars get different offers, and which parts add value.

What you can count on

• Free towing, with nothing deducted from the offer to cover it.
• Payment at pickup, as the car leaves, by Zelle, Cash App, cash or another digital method.
• An offer that doesn't expire once we've given it.
• We can often pick up the same day.
• No title? We can still help. Indiana sales run on the title or a BMV certificate of authority; we'll sort out which on the call.

That's the whole deal. For the step-by-step, see how a sale works. To reach us, use the contact page.
