After accepting your quote, relax as we swiftly arrange to collect your car. Just have the title signed with the odometer reading filled in ready for the driver, and we’ll handle everything else efficiently.
On the day: your ID, the signed title if the car needs one, the keys if you have them, and nothing of yours left in the glovebox or trunk.
Yes. We buy junk cars anywhere in Louisville, running or not. Tell us about the car, pick the offer you like, and we’ll arrange free collection. You get paid once the car is picked up.
If your vehicle is 15 years old or older, you don’t need a title to junk it. If it’s newer than that and you don’t have the title, you can apply for a duplicate at your local county clerk’s office using Form TC 96-182. For full details, check out our guide on junking a car without a title in Kentucky.
In Louisville, Kentucky, when the names on the title are joined by “or,” only one owner’s signature is needed. If they’re joined by “and” or “and/or,” all listed owners must sign. Our team is here to help with the paperwork if you need it!
Junking is quick, offering immediate cash for your used vehicle, but salvaging can fetch higher offers if your car has valuable parts. Salvage buyers look to extract value from your car, often resulting in a better price. At Wheelsaway, we connect you with both options to ensure you get the best deal based on your car’s condition. If your vehicle has reusable parts or materials, salvaging could mean more cash in your pocket. Get a good price for your car, not just a cheap scrap offer, when you choose our service.
Our certified professionals will collect your car swiftly and safely. You don’t have to worry about random strangers coming to pick it up. We pay top dollar for your vehicle and ensure a convenient payment process. Let us know if your car is hard to reach, and we’ll handle it. Trust us for a smooth, efficient collection and payment experience.
If you’re wondering if your car is too good to be considered junk, think again. Even if your vehicle can still be driven, Wheelsaway specializes in selling to a specialist market that pays well for salvageable cars. Your car’s metal can still fetch a good price, even if it’s in need of repairs. Don’t wait until it’s too late; sell your car for parts and repairs today!
It doesn’t have to have one, but it changes the offer. Converters hold precious metals, so a car that’s had one cut off, or has an aftermarket replacement fitted, is worth less than the same car with the original in place. Tell us up front if yours has gone, and we’ll quote on that basis, so nothing changes at pickup.
Yes. Winter salt on Louisville roads is hard on sills, floor pans and brake lines, and rust often ends a car before the engine does. Heavy rust does affect the offer, since it eats into the usable metal, but we buy them either way and tow for free.
Often, yes. Call the yard first and ask what it needs to release the vehicle and what the storage bill has reached, then get your quote from us with those numbers in hand. If the storage fees have overtaken what the car is worth, we’ll tell you straight rather than string you along.
Anywhere around Louisville the truck can safely reach. Alleys, shared drives and steep approaches are all doable, but tell us when you book so we send the right truck. If the car is boxed in by neighbors, a heads-up to them the day before saves a wasted trip.
You’ll get paid when we pick up your car. Payment is typically electronic, but if you prefer cash or a check, let us know in advance. We aim to arrange collection as quickly as possible, so you can get those dollars in your pocket sooner rather than later.
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes. Once you accept an offer we work to collect within a day, though that depends on driver availability around Louisville. Payment is arranged at collection, so most people are done well inside a week.
