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.

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.

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.

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 Sylvan Lake?+
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.
