Yes. We buy junk cars anywhere in Montgomery, running or not. Tell us about the car and we’ll come back with offers from our network of buyers. If you’re happy with one, we’ll collect the car free of charge and pay you when we do. Either way, have photo ID and your registration ready for the collection.

Yes – in certain situations. Under Alabama state law, you can junk your car in Montgomery without a title if it’s 12 years old or older and worth $1000 or less, using Form MVT 5-18, which can be completed electronically on the scrap portal on the Motor Vehicle Title Registration & Insurance Portal.

If the car is less than 12 years old, you’ll need a title to junk it. A bill of sale isn’t required, but it’s worth keeping one as proof of the transaction.

For the complete guide to junking a car without a title in Alabama, see our guide.

This depends on how the names are listed on the vehicle title. If the names are joined by “and”, they must both authorize the transfer. If joined by “or” or “and/or”, only one signature is needed. Need help? Get in touch with our team.

Junking is quick and easy, but selling to salvage buyers can fetch a higher price if your car has valuable parts. When it comes to selling your car for spares and repairs, that choice can impact how much cash you get. Salvage buyers look beyond scrap value, offering more for reusable components. At Wheelsaway, we’ve bought used cars for years, ensuring you get a fair deal. Our network of specialist buyers means your car’s value is maximized, whether it’s cheap parts or rare finds. Trust us to handle the sale efficiently, getting you the best price without the wait.

Your car will be collected by a certified specialist on behalf of a licensed automotive dismantler and recycler, ensuring a safe and reliable process. We partner with professionals who know how to handle junk cars with care. Payment is made promptly upon collection, providing a quick and efficient transaction. Trust us to handle the pick-up while you focus on what matters most.

Have your title or proof of ownership, a valid photo ID, and the keys (if you have them) ready before the driver arrives. Having everything on hand keeps the pickup quick and avoids any delays on the day.

Yes – a missing set of keys won’t stop the sale. It may limit which buyers are able to collect the car, since some require keys to load or tow it, but we’ll match you with a buyer equipped to take it either way.

Not at all! Wheels Away specializes in selling vehicles for spares and repairs. Even if your car is in great condition, we can connect you with buyers who pay top dollar for salvageable parts. Your car will be towed away promptly, and you’ll receive a fair price for its metal value. Trust us to handle the selling process with ease and efficiency.

You’ll get paid when your car is picked up. Payment is typically made electronically, but cash or check is an option too. Just mention your preference when we finalize the details.

Take them off before we collect. In Alabama the plate stays with you, not the car, so you can keep it, transfer it to your next vehicle, or hand it in to your local licensing office. Alabama doesn’t refund the unused part of your registration fee, so there’s nothing to claim back there.

Most of our junk collectors required the lien to be cleared before you sell the vehicle. If your car is being sold for salvage and you’re offered more than the outstanding lien amount, you may be able to settle the lien with the proceeds. Tell us about your situation when you get a quote, and we’ll walk you through it.

Yes. If you inherited the vehicle as the joint owner (your signatures were joined by “or” or “and/or” on the title), or you inherited it through survivorship rights, you can junk the vehicle as the surviving owner. You’ll need to sign the title in the ‘sellers’ section, and you’ll need to show us a copy of the death certificate.

We can still buy it – just let us know the impound or tow yard’s location when you book. You’ll need to clear any outstanding storage or towing fees before pickup. Once settled, confirm with the yard that our driver is authorized to collect it, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Yes, you can still junk a car in Montgomery if its been titled in another state. If you’re missing the title, you’ll need to request a duplicate from the state it was originally issued in.
