Questions About Selling Junk Cars for Cash in Chicago

Questions? We've got answers.

Why sell to Junk Car Medics in Chicago instead of a junkyard near me?

Junk Car Medics in Chicago consistently pays more than nearby junkyards because we value parts and resale potential, not just scrap weight. We’ll do our best to match or beat any licensed competitor’s written offer, guarantee our quotes with no hidden fees, and provide free towing. From your first call to final payment, we deliver exceptional service that’s earned us 50,000+ satisfied sellers.

What paperwork do I need to sell my car in Chicago?

You’ll need the title in your name and a valid photo ID to sell a vehicle in Chicago. The title must list you as the owner, not just be signed over to you. We may be able to verify ownership through alternative documents if you are missing the title. Check with your local buyer before closing the deal to make sure you have everything you need.

How long is my quote valid?

Due to fluctuations in market demand and scrap metal prices in Chicago, our offers can change at any time until they are accepted.

Can I sell my car without a catalytic converter?

Yes, but the price may be lower. Vehicles missing a catalytic converter or fitted with an aftermarket one often lose resale and scrap value. We’ll still make an offer either way.

Do I need the keys to sell my car?

No, we pay cash for junk cars with or without keys, as long as you can verify ownership and the car is accessible for towing.

Do newer parts or tires increase the offer?

Sometimes. If the vehicle has resale potential, newer tires or working parts can raise the value. For older or scrap-only cars, parts typically don’t affect the price.

What happens to my vehicle after I sell it?

We assess every vehicle for resale, part-out, or recycling. If it’s roadworthy, we may resell it through licensed buyers. If not, we recycle it by draining fluids, salvaging parts, and crushing the frame in compliance with EPA standards.
