It depends on how the names are listed on the title. If the co-owners are joined by “or,” either owner can junk the car without the other’s involvement. If the names are joined by “and,” all owners must sign or provide a power of attorney to authorize the sale or disposal. Always check how the names appear on the title before proceeding, and if you need any support, simply give us a call and our experts can guide you through the process.
It depends on your car’s condition. If it’s a newer model with dents or panel damage from a fender bender, has one big mechanical problem like a blown transmission, or is a popular car that’s been parked up for a while, a salvage buyer will usually pay more because its parts can be reused or the car repaired. If it’s been in a serious crash with frame damage, caught fire, been flooded, rusted through underneath, or is an older car with multiple faults, junk is usually the better option, since its value is mostly in the metal, priced by weight at current scrap rates. Wheels Away tries salvage buyers first and brings you the highest offer, whichever route it comes from.
We’ll send a certified removal specialist to collect your car within 24-72 hours. They’ll pay you on the spot for your vehicle. Remember to remove your personal belongings before the truck arrives and have your photo ID and signed title ready for the driver.
Not for us. Wheels Away specializes in buying cars for spares and repairs. Even if your car is in good condition, we’ll pay top dollar for it. We connect you with specialist buyers who see the value in your vehicle, whether it runs or not. Don’t let your metal treasure go to waste – get it towed and get paid today.
You’ll get paid when your car is picked up. Payments are typically made electronically for security, but cash or a check can be arranged if you ask in advance. If you prefer cash, please let us know in advance.
Your buyer reports the car to the state and the title is cancelled, so it can’t go back on the road under your name. On your side, filing Form HSMV 82050 (Notice of Sale) within 30 days officially records that you no longer own the car, so you’re protected from any tickets, tolls or other charges after the sale date.
