Cash for Junk Cars in Pulaski
We buy junk, wrecked and scrap cars in Pulaski and Marshalltown in east-central Gary, the same way we make cash offers for junk cars across Gary. Towing is free, you're paid at pickup, and same-day pickup is often possible. Here's what helps a Pulaski pickup go smoothly.
Junk car pickup in Pulaski
Selling a junk car in Pulaski takes one form and one phone call. Send the year, make, model and title status, we call with an offer, and if you accept, a tow truck picks the car up. The tow is free; payment is made at pickup.
Where Pulaski is
Pulaski is east-central Gary, directly south of the industrial belt along 15th Avenue. In the city’s 2008 comprehensive plan, its edges are the Norfolk Southern tracks, the Borman Expressway (I-80/94) and Maryland Street. It includes the Marshalltown subdivision, the blocks framed by 21st Avenue, Central Avenue, South 23rd Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.
If the street names sound like a history lesson, that’s on purpose. Gary’s east side was laid out with streets named after the states in the order they joined the Union, which is why a Pulaski address reads Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts or Rhode Island.
Most of the neighborhood is single-family houses, with some apartment complexes. Local shops sit along 21st Avenue and Virginia Street. Pulaski Playground, Ironwood Park, Hatcher Park and Marshalltown Playground are all here, and the southeast corner is open floodplain.
Pickup notes for Pulaski
- MLK splits the neighborhood. The 2008 plan calls the six-lane Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard a barrier between Pulaski’s east and west halves. If your car is on the other side of it from your house, give us the car’s location, not just your address.
- Highway access is close. There’s no interchange inside Pulaski, but Broadway at the Borman and 15th Avenue at I-65 are both nearby, so trucks get in and out easily.
- Apartment lots. If the car is in a complex’s lot, let the manager know a tow truck is coming.
- Cars by the open land. If the car has been left near the floodplain on the southeast side, tell us how close a truck can get on pavement.
Why your neighbor’s offer might differ
People in Pulaski talk, and sooner or later someone says “I got more for the same car.” Usually it wasn’t the same car: a different engine, a missing converter, a title versus no title. We explain the common reasons in why two similar junk cars get different offers, along with how to compare quotes fairly.
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.

Quick answers
- Do you buy junk cars in Marshalltown?
- Yes. Marshalltown is part of the Pulaski neighborhood, and we buy and pick up junk cars there the same as anywhere in Gary. No fee for the tow, and payment is made when the truck collects the car.
- My car is on the other side of MLK Drive from my house. Does that matter?
- Not for the offer. Just tell us exactly where the car is, not only your home address, so the driver goes straight to it and doesn't have to cross back and forth.
- How fast can you pick up in Pulaski?
- We can often pick up the same day. We'll agree on a time when we call with your offer.
