Relax as we swiftly collect your car. Sit back, unwind, and soon, your space will be clear. Once it’s gone, return your Maryland plates to the MVA with a Tag Return Form and keep your insurance running until the tag return receipt comes through. If you hold a Baltimore City residential parking permit for this car, sort that out at the same time so you’re not paying for a permit on a vehicle you no longer own.
Yes. We buy junk cars anywhere in Baltimore, running or not, as long as the Maryland title is in your name. 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.
Usually, yes. If your title is missing, you can request a duplicate or replacement from the Maryland MVA using Form VR-018, or ask us about the Affidavit of Ownership (Form VR-453), which lets an owner hand a vehicle straight to a licensed dismantler or scrap processor when the title isn’t available.
Yes. Cars registered in Baltimore City have to pass Maryland’s VEIP emissions test every two years before you can renew the registration. If the emissions repairs cost more than the car is worth, junking it is usually the cheaper call. We’ll buy it as it is and collect it for free.
In Baltimore, Maryland, all listed owners must sign to authorize the junking. Need help? Get in touch with our team for assistance.
Selling your car for parts can get you more cash if it has reusable components like engines or tires. On the other hand, scrapping is quick and easy, offering immediate payment. At Wheelsaway, we’ve got you covered for both options. We connect you to buyers looking for used parts and those who buy scrap metal. This way, you get the best deal based on your car’s condition. Whether you choose to sell parts or scrap, we ensure you get a fair price. Get your old car bought at a good price by choosing the right option for you.

If you can’t be present during the collection, no problem. Just let us know, and we’ll take care of it smoothly. Trust us to make this process stress-free for you.
Wheelsaway specializes in selling vehicles for spares and repairs to a specialist market. Even if your car is in good condition, we can tow it away and pay you top dollar.

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. Salt on the roads through winter is hard on Baltimore cars, and a rusted floor pan or rotten brake lines often finish a car off before the engine does. Rust does affect the offer, since it eats into the usable metal, but we buy them either way and tow for free.
Payment for your vehicle will be made upon collection, typically via electronic transfer or check. If you prefer cash, please notify us beforehand. We aim to settle quickly to help you maximize every dollar towards your next wheels.
Usually, yes, but tell us when you book so we can send a truck that fits. Rear alleys, permit-only blocks, and tight rowhouse streets are all doable with a bit of notice. If the car is boxed in by neighbors, it helps to give them a heads-up before pickup day.
Often, yes, but deal with the release first. We can’t tow a booted car or pull one out of the city lot until it’s been released, so call and ask what they need and what the storage bill has reached. If the fees have overtaken what the car is worth, we’ll tell you straight rather than string you along.
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 in your part of Baltimore. Payment is arranged at collection, so most people are done well inside a week.
