“After days of dealing with frustrating phone calls and different companies, I can honestly say my experience with WheelsAway was amazing! I almost didn’t answer the call, but I’m so glad I did. The gentleman I spoke with was absolutely wonderful. He was patient, respectful, understanding, and genuinely took the time to listen to me. He didn’t rush me or make me feel like I was just another customer. He actually had a conversation with me, gave me helpful advice, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. His calm, friendly personality completely turned my day around! On top of that, I received a better offer than I had gotten anywhere else. I wish I remembered his name because he truly deserves recognition for his outstanding customer service. People like him are exactly what companies need. I hope his supervisors see this review and recognize what an amazing employee they have. Thank you for making such a stressful experience a positive one! ❤️”

Cash for junk cars
Time to say goodbye to that old junk car? We’ll line up a quick, honest offer from buyers right here in Atlanta. Private and commercial vehicles accepted. Whether it’s a car, van, SUV, truck, or something else, you’ll get a fair price that reflects its real condition in around 2 minutes.
Junk car removal
Pick the offer you want, and a licensed collection professional will pick up your vehicle within 24-72 hours. You’ll get paid on collection. Have more than one vehicle to get rid of? Let us know, and we can arrange multiple pickups.
Finding salvage buyers
Could your car be worth more than junk? Don’t take a lower offer just because it’s easier. If it still has parts that can be reused, we’ll get you offers from specialist salvage yards around Atlanta and secure you a higher price. No phone calls or negotiations needed. We’ll do it all for you.
Parts and repairs
Every part that works adds more cash to your final offer. Specialist dealers look at what your car is made of, from the engine and transmission to the catalytic converter, so you’re paid for its components rather than just its scrap weight. That means a bigger payout for you and less waste going to landfill.

Your pickup-day checklist
- Have your paperwork ready: Keep your title (or Form MV-1SP if you’re selling without one) and a valid photo ID on hand for the driver.
- Take off your license plates: In Georgia, plates stay with you, not the car, so remove them before the driver arrives.
- Clear out your belongings: Check the glove box, trunk, under the seats and the center console for anything you want to keep.
- Cancel your insurance after pickup: Once the car has been collected, contact your insurer to cancel or update your policy.
FAQs
Yes. Wheels Away buys junk cars all over Atlanta, running or not. Tell us about the car, accept the offer you like, and we’ll arrange free pickup. You get paid when the car is collected.
Yes, in some cases. Under Georgia law, if your vehicle is at least 12 model years old and valued at $850 or less ($1,700 for trailers), you can scrap it without a title by completing Form MV-1SP when you sell it to a used motor vehicle parts dealer, scrap metal processor, or secondary metals recycler. For step-by-step instructions, check out our comprehensive guide to junking a car without a title in Georgia.
Yes. Atlanta is inside the 13-county metro area where Georgia’s Clean Air Force requires an annual emissions test for most gas-powered cars and light trucks. If yours has failed and the repairs aren’t worth it, we’ll still make you an offer, running or not.
In Atlanta, Georgia, vehicle co-owners are typically listed with ‘and’ on the title, which means both owners must agree to junk the car. If you need assistance, our team is here to help.
It depends on your car’s condition. Salvage tends to pay best for a newer car with minor accident damage, a car with one major fault like a dead transmission, or a popular model that’s been sitting unused. Buyers can repair these or reuse their parts. Junk tends to pay best for a car with frame damage, fire or flood damage, rust through the underbody, or an older car with several problems. Its value is mostly in the metal, priced by weight at current scrap rates. Wheels Away checks with salvage buyers first before considering a junk offer, giving you the best chance of getting a fair deal for your old car.
One of our vetted auto removal experts will pick up your car within 24-72 hours of accepting an offer.
Yes. Plenty of Atlanta cars sit in shared lots, and our collection specialists pick them up regularly. To keep things smooth, let us know a few details when you book:
- Gate or access codes: If the property has a gate, call box or key fob entry, share the code or tell us how the driver should get in.
- Parking deck clearance: Tow trucks need more headroom than most cars. If your vehicle is in a covered or underground deck, tell us the clearance height and which level it’s on so we can plan the right pickup.
- Exact location: Give us the building, lot section or space number so the driver can find the car quickly.
- Property manager approval: Some complexes and HOAs require notice before a vehicle is towed from the property. It’s worth checking with your property manager ahead of time so there are no surprises on pickup day.
If you’re unsure about any of these, mention it when you get your offer and we’ll help you work it out.
No. Even if it’s still running, we pay top dollar for vehicles in any condition. Your car may be a treasure trove of valuable parts for our specialist market. Get it towed hassle-free and put some extra cash in your pocket. Don’t let that metal go to waste – sell now!
You’ll get paid when we collect your car. Payments are typically made electronically, but if you prefer cash or check, just let us know in advance.
We can still buy it. A few extra steps just need to happen before pickup:
- Settle any outstanding bills: Repair shops and impound lots usually won’t release a vehicle until storage, towing or repair charges are paid. Storage fees often add up daily, so resolve this sooner rather than later.
- Tell us where the car is: Share the name and address of the shop or lot when you get your offer, along with any reference or case number.
- Arrange release: Ask the shop or lot what they need to let our driver collect the car. Impound lots often require proof of ownership and a signed authorization naming who can pick it up.
- Check their hours: Let us know when the facility is open for collections so we can schedule the pickup at a time that works.
Not sure what you owe or what paperwork they need? Mention it when you book and we’ll help you figure out the next steps.
