Lathrup Village Junk Car FAQ

Do you buy junk cars without a title in Lathrup Village, Michigan?+

Yes. Under Michigan law (MCL 257.233) we can buy vehicles 15+ years old in Lathrup Village 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 Lathrup Village?+

Most Lathrup Village 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 Lathrup Village?+

Same day in most cases. The average Lathrup Village 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 Lathrup Village?+

Yes — free towing is included in every Lathrup Village 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 Lathrup Village?+

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 Lathrup Village pickup without you there.

Do you buy cars that don't run or won't start in Lathrup Village?+

Absolutely. We specialize in non-runners — blown engines, bad transmissions, wrecked, flood-damaged, and cars that have been sitting for years in Lathrup Village 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 Lathrup Village 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 Lathrup Village?+

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 Lathrup Village?+

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 Lathrup Village?+

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 Lathrup Village do you cover?+

Every neighborhood and ZIP code in Lathrup Village, plus all of the surrounding county. Wherever you are, we'll come to you with free towing.
