FAQs
Yes. We buy junk cars anywhere in the District, running or not, as long as the D.C. title is in your name. Tell us about the car, pick the offer you like, and we’ll arrange free collection. Payment follows once the car is picked up.
No. You’ll usually need the car’s title to junk it. If you don’t have one, you can request a new, replacement, or duplicate using Form DMV-CTA-001. To learn more about the process, check out our guide to junking without a title in Washington D.C.
All owners must sign to junk a car in Washington, D.C. This means the names are usually separated by “And/Or” on the title. If you need assistance, our team is here to help!
Junking gets you fast cash with minimal hassle, while salvaging can earn more if your vehicle has valuable parts. Salvage buyers pay top dollar for components they can reuse, and we connect you with both options so you get the best deal. At Wheelsaway, we make collection fast and easy, helping you maximize your payout by choosing the option that fits your needs.
Our skilled team of professionals handles every car collection, working with licensed auto recyclers who specialize in salvaging vehicles for parts and repairs. We provide safe, reliable, and hassle-free pickup, ensuring the process is smooth for you. Once your car is collected, payment is made quickly. We value your time and work efficiently to schedule pickup as soon as possible.
Anywhere in D.C. the truck can safely reach. If the car is on a permit-only block, in an alley, or in a garage with a low ceiling, tell us when you book the pickup so we send the right truck. Cars parked on a busy street are usually fine, but it helps if you can be there to move anything blocking it in.
Think your car is too nice to be junked? Think again! Wheelsaway connects vehicles of all conditions with buyers in the specialist market for spares and repairs. Even well-maintained cars can fetch top dollar for parts and scrap metal. No need to stress about towing — we take care of it. Contact us today and turn your unwanted car into fast cash!
Possibly, but sort the boot out first. A booted or impounded car can’t be towed away by us until it’s released, so call D.C. DMV or the impound lot and ask what they need before you book a pickup. Once the car can legally be moved, the sale runs the same as any other.
You’ll receive payment when your car is collected, on the spot, usually in cash. We offer various payment options and strive to match your preference. If you’d like cash instead of a check or electronic transfer, just let us know ahead of time — we’ll confirm all the details before pickup.
