Do you buy junk cars without a title in Lake Orion, Michigan?+
Yes. Under Michigan law (MCL 257.233) we can buy vehicles 15+ years old in Lake Orion 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 Lake Orion?+

Same day in most cases. The average Lake Orion 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 Lake Orion?+
Yes — free towing is included in every Lake Orion 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 Lake Orion?+
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 Lake Orion pickup without you there.
Do you buy cars that don't run or won't start in Lake Orion?+
Absolutely. We specialize in non-runners — blown engines, bad transmissions, wrecked, flood-damaged, and cars that have been sitting for years in Lake Orion 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 Lake Orion 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 Lake Orion?+
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 Lake Orion?+
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 Lake Orion?+
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 Lake Orion do you cover?+
Every neighborhood and ZIP code in Lake Orion, plus all of the surrounding county. Wherever you are, we'll come to you with free towing.
