Cash for junk cars

Junk car removal
Leave the removal to us and walk away with a top price for your old car. We’ll send a collector to tow it within 24–72 hours, whether it’s tucked into a tight spot, stored in a garage, held at an impound lot, or parked at a business. Need several vehicles cleared? We’ll arrange that too.
Finding salvage buyers
If your car’s worth more than junk, we’ll connect you with competitive offers from specialist salvage yards across Ohio, giving you the best chance of getting a fair price for its exact condition, without the need to shop around or negotiate yourself.

FAQs
No. In Ohio, you need a title to junk a vehicle of any age. If yours is lost, read our full guide.
Yes, as long as every owner signs. On Ohio titles, co-owners’ names are joined by “and,” so all owners need to sign the title to junk the vehicle.
Salvage usually pays more if your car still has parts worth reselling, while junk is the better fit when its value is mainly in the metal. A junk buyer bases the offer on your car’s weight and current scrap prices, so the sale is quick and condition has little effect. A salvage buyer takes the car apart and sells the usable pieces, such as the engine, transmission and body panels, so they’ll pay more for newer or popular models in decent shape. Wheels Away gets offers from both and shows you the highest, so you don’t have to do any of the guesswork yourself.
A licensed auto removal expert will haul away your car within 24-72 hours. You’ll get paid at collection. Before collection day, just remember to clear out your car and have your photo ID and signed title ready for the driver.
Even if it’s in great condition, we can still find a buyer who values its parts and metal. You’ll get paid well for your vehicle, even if it needs to be towed. Selling to our specialist market ensures your car will be put to good use, making it a win-win for you and the environment.
You’ll get paid when your car is picked up. Payments are typically made electronically, but cash or check is available upon request. Let us know your preference when we finalize the details.
