Yes. Junk car buyers have equipment to remove vehicles that can’t roll, steer, or move at all. Flatbed tow trucks, winches, wheel dollies, and skates handle cars in any condition. Locked wheels, flat tires, seized brakes, and broken steering won’t stop an experienced tow operator.
Equipment used for non-moving vehicles:
- Flatbed trucks with winches pull cars that can’t roll
- Wheel dollies slide under locked or flat tires
- Go-jacks lift and pivot wheels that won’t steer
- Forklifts move cars in tight spaces (at salvage yards)
Situations buyers handle routinely:
- Four flat tires or missing wheels
- Seized brakes or locked parking brake
- Transmission stuck in park
- Steering wheel locked or broken
- Car stuck in mud, snow, or sand
- Vehicle in a garage, driveway, or tight space
When requesting a quote, describe your car’s exact situation. Is it on flat tires? Stuck in a backyard with no driveway access? Blocked by another vehicle? Buyers need this information to send the right equipment.
Access issues may affect pickup timing or require specialized trucks, but they rarely prevent removal entirely. Junk car buyers have seen it all and know how to get vehicles out of difficult situations.
