Yes. Wheelsaway buys junk cars across Pittsburgh and nearby communities, running or not. You’ll need the title in your name, since Pennsylvania requires a title to junk a vehicle of any age. Get a quote and we’ll tell you exactly what applies to yours.

In Pennsylvania, a valid title is required to junk a vehicle, regardless of its age. If your title has been lost or misplaced, you’ll need to apply for a replacement. Use Form MV-38O for vehicles without a lien, or ask your lienholder to use Form MV-38L if the vehicle still has an active lien.

You can also verify your vehicle’s title status through the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS).

Selling it for parts usually pays more, while junking gets you a quicker sale. When you sell your car for parts, you’re essentially selling its reusable components to specialist buyers who are willing to pay more for valuable parts. On the other hand, junking your car might get you a quick, cheap sale, but the payout could be lower. At Wheelsaway, we understand the importance of getting the best deal for your car. By connecting you to our network of specialist buyers, we ensure that your car is bought at a fair price based on its condition. So, if you’re looking to make some extra cash from your old vehicle, consider selling it for parts to get the most value out of it.

Your car will be collected by our certified specialists who are experts in handling junk vehicles. We ensure that only trained professionals will pick up your car, providing you with peace of mind. They will pay you for your vehicle once it’s collected, via electronic payment, cash, or check, making the process quick and convenient. If your car is parked on a steep street, in a narrow alley or somewhere a tow truck will struggle to reach, just let us know when you book so the driver comes prepared. Contact us today to arrange your collection and get paid for your car!

Not always. If you can’t be there, let us know in advance so we can confirm who can hand over the vehicle, how the paperwork should be handled, and how payment will be arranged.

Not at all. Wheelsaway specializes in selling cars for spares and repairs to a specialist market. Even if your car still runs, we pay top dollar for vehicles in any condition. By selling to us, you’re contributing to the recycling of valuable metal parts. Trust us to handle your car responsibly and get you the best deal possible!

No. Pennsylvania’s yearly safety inspection, and the emissions test required for cars registered in Allegheny County, only matter if you want to keep the car on the road. A car that has failed either one can still be junked, and for plenty of drivers that failure is the reason they decide to.

Payment is typically made when your vehicle is picked up. We offer electronic transfers, but if you prefer cash or a check, just inform us during confirmation. Let’s make sure you get paid your way!
