A very trusted company

A very trusted company. Luke from wheels away was very helpful and communicated with me from the first time he email until now. I highly recommend them. He told me not to worry that he was going to help. He did just that. The process was very smooth and understanding. I highly recommend them. Luke was away and he got his colleague Joesph to help me while he way away instantly. Thanks Luke and Joesph. Thanks Wheels Away.

Easiest transaction I have ever made

This was the easiest transaction I have ever been apart of. I entered my trucks info on the wheelsaway website and not 15 minutes later I was on the phone with Joe going over a few specific questions about my vehicle because a buyer had already made an offer. Total phone call was maybe 10 minutes Joe explained everything and after our conversation I was offered a great amount of money for my vehicle and the next day it was picked up and I had the check in my hand. I would highly recommend and will definitely use this service again when I need to get rid of a vehicle!!!

If your car is 12 years old or older, you can junk it without a title by using Form T1-014A, provided by the scrapper. Vehicles younger than 12 years still require a title.

You can check the title of your vehicle using the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS).

For a more detailed guide on how to junk a car without a title in South Carolina, check out ourcomprehensive breakdown.

Whether you can junk a car depends on how the co-owners are listed on the title. “Or” between names means any owner can act alone, while “and” requires all owners’ signatures. Always verify the title first, and reach out to us if you need help!
