Berkley is a tight-knit Woodward-corridor suburb where tree-lined streets, brick bungalows, and busy 12 Mile shops sit just minutes from our Oak Park headquarters. That closeness means when a Berkley neighbor calls about a dead car in the driveway or a project that never got finished, we usually have a driver out the same afternoon. We buy vehicles running or not, hand you cash on the spot, and tow them away free — no scrubbing, no repairs, no runaround. Whether it's a rusted-out commuter near Coolidge or a hail-battered sedan off Catalpa, we make it simple. Call (313) 326-5444 for a fast, honest quote today.

Berkley Junk Car FAQ
Do you buy junk cars without a title in Berkley, Michigan?+
Yes. Under Michigan law (MCL 257.233) we can buy vehicles 15+ years old in Berkley without a title — just bring a valid photo ID and proof of ownership like a registration or bill of sale. We handle all the paperwork.
How much is my junk car worth in Berkley?+
Most Berkley junk cars pay between $300 and $5,000, depending on the year, make, weight, and whether the catalytic converter is intact. Call and we'll give you an exact cash number in about two minutes.
How fast can you pick up my junk car in Berkley?+
Same day in most cases. The average Berkley pickup happens within a few hours of your call, and we're open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Is towing really free in Berkley?+
Yes — free towing is included in every Berkley offer. The number we quote you is the cash you get paid. No tow fees, no paperwork fees, no deductions.
Do I need to be home for the pickup in Berkley?+
Not always. As long as we can access the vehicle and arrange the title, paperwork, and payment ahead of time, we can often complete a Berkley pickup without you there.
Do you buy cars that don't run or won't start in Berkley?+
Absolutely. We specialize in non-runners — blown engines, bad transmissions, wrecked, flood-damaged, and cars that have been sitting for years in Berkley driveways and garages.
How and when do you pay?+
We pay cash (or instant electronic payment) on the spot at pickup — never a mailed check and never after the fact.
Can I sell a junk car in Berkley without license plates?+
Yes. In Michigan your plates belong to you, not the car. Remove your plates before the tow and return them to the Secretary of State to cancel your registration and insurance.
What paperwork do I need to junk my car in Berkley?+
A valid photo ID and the Michigan title if you have it. If you've lost the title on a vehicle 15+ years old, a current registration or proof of ownership works under MCL 257.233.
Do you buy wrecked or salvage-title cars in Berkley?+
Yes — any condition and any title status, including salvage and rebuilt titles. Collision, fire, flood, or mechanical failure, we'll make an offer.
Will you still buy my car if the catalytic converter or other parts are missing in Berkley?+
Yes, though a missing catalytic converter lowers the offer. Don't strip the car before pickup — it almost always costs you more than the parts are worth.
What parts of Berkley do you cover?+
Every neighborhood and ZIP code in Berkley, plus all of the surrounding county. Wherever you are, we'll come to you with free towing.
