Call a junk car buyer and get a quote. They purchase vehicles that won’t start and provide free towing. You don’t need to fix the car or get it running. The buyer sends a tow truck, pays you at pickup, and hauls the vehicle away. The entire process typically takes 24 to 72 hours.
Quick process for selling a car that won’t start:
- Contact junk car buyers online or by phone
- Provide year, make, model, and reason it won’t start
- Receive quotes and compare offers
- Accept an offer and schedule free pickup
- Have title ready and remove personal items
- Get paid when the tow truck arrives
Common reasons cars won’t start:
- Dead or failed battery
- Bad starter motor
- Failed alternator
- Fuel pump failure
- Engine seized or blown
- Electrical system problems
- Transmission locked up
The reason your car won’t start affects its value. A car with a dead battery is worth more than one with a seized engine. Be specific when describing the problem so buyers can give accurate quotes.
Junk car buyers have flatbed trucks and equipment to move vehicles that can’t roll, steer, or shift into neutral. Even if your car is completely immobile, they can remove it. See how buyers handle cars that can’t move.
