Todd's Expert Take

I'm Todd, founder of Junk Car Medics. I've been helping people sell junk cars for cash in Chattanooga for over 10 years. I've learned that most sellers want two things — top dollar and fast service. We deliver on both. Our offers are fair, guaranteed, and we'll often match or beat written offers from competitors to earn your business.

Last month alone, we bought more than 17 for an average price of $459. Now is a great time to sell. We're actively paying cash for cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. And there's no car I want to buy more than yours, and I'll prove it with our offer!

Common Questions

Do you buy junk cars in my area?

Yes. Our junk car service buys clunkers across the area, including East Brainerd, Red Bank, East Ridge, Soddy-Daisy, Middle Valley, Signal Mountain, Harrison, Ooltewah, and Collegedale. No matter where you are located we will make you a fair offer and come to you to remove your vehicle at no charge.

What paperwork do I need to sell my junk car?

To sell your junk car in Chattanooga, Tennessee, you'll need a valid title, photo ID, and registration. Lost titles can be replaced at the Hamilton County Clerk's office by submitting form RV-F1316801 and paying a fee. For vehicles over 15 years old, you can sell without a title using form RV-F1311401 with proof of ownership through registration or bills of sale. Remove plates before sale unless transferring them.

How are junk cars recycled and disposed of?

When you junk cars for cash, you are selling an old, damaged, or non-running vehicle to a licensed buyer, such as an auto salvage yard, junk car buyer, or car recycling facility. The buyer pays for the value of the parts and scrap metal, dismantles it, and recycles or reuses the components responsibly. We work with licensed salvage and car disposal facilities that follow Tennessee environmental regulations. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 94 tons of metal, safely drained more than 1,122 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 925 usable parts from Chattanooga vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
