Junk car pickup in Midtown
For a junk car in Midtown, the process is short. Send the year, make, model and title status with the form on this page, and we call you back with an offer. If you say yes, we schedule a pickup, often the same day, and a tow truck comes to the car. We tow it free and pay you when it’s picked up.
Where Midtown is
Midtown, also known as Central, is the middle of Gary, directly south of downtown along Broadway. The City of Gary’s 2008 comprehensive plan bounds it by 9th Place on the north, Maryland Street on the east, the Borman Expressway (I-80/94) on the south and Grant Street on the west.
The main commercial streets are Broadway, Grant Street, 15th Avenue and 25th Avenue. A diagonal railroad corridor runs through the neighborhood with industrial lots along it. Norton Park, Roosevelt Park and Washington Park are all inside Midtown’s lines.
It’s also one of the most historic parts of Gary. The 2008 plan describes the Historic Midtown district, roughly south of 15th Avenue, as one of the city’s most notable African-American communities and a home to jazz and blues musicians in the twentieth century. A tour map made with Indiana University Northwest marked places like Roosevelt High School and the Jackson 5 family home.
Pickup notes for Midtown
- Cars on vacant lots. Midtown has many empty lots between houses. If your car is parked on one, we can pick it up from there, as long as the car is yours. Tell us who owns the lot.
- Two-flats and shared driveways. If the car sits behind a two-flat or at the end of a shared drive, tell us how a truck gets to it and whether a neighbor’s car will need to move.
- Along the railroad corridor. If the car is parked on a lot near the tracks, give us the two nearest cross streets. It saves the driver a lap around the block.
- Broadway, 15th and 25th. These carry the most traffic. A car on a side street is easier and safer to load.
What changes the offer here
Nothing about Midtown in particular. What matters is the car: its weight, which parts are still on it, whether it runs, and your paperwork. We go through all of it, factor by factor, in what changes a junk car’s value.
On paperwork: a title makes the sale simplest. No title? We can still help. Selling a junk car in Indiana takes the title or a BMV certificate of authority. A lost title can be replaced with a $15 BMV duplicate; the certificate costs $4, and you apply for it with proof of ownership like your current registration. Cars under 15 model years old legally need one or the other. Tell us which papers you have, bill of sale and insurance card included, and we’ll confirm the route when we call. Keep your license plate; Indiana’s BMV asks sellers to take it off at the time of sale.
