Yank and Bank questions, answered straight

Cars, trucks, SUVs and vans in almost any condition: running or not, wrecked, high-mileage, old, or sitting unused for years. If you’re not sure, request a quote and tell us about it.

Yes. A car doesn’t need to start or drive for us to buy it. We tow it at no cost to you.

We can still make an offer. Let us know what’s missing, especially the engine, transmission, catalytic converter or wheels, because those affect the price. An accurate description keeps the final offer close to your estimate.

In most cases, yes. A title is the usual way to show you own the vehicle and transfer it to us. If you can’t find it, don’t give up yet. Tell us when you request a quote and we’ll walk you through the paperwork options for your situation.

It depends on the situation, such as an inherited car or one bought from someone who never transferred the title. Reach out through the contact form and we’ll talk through what’s needed. We can’t give legal advice, but we’ll be straight with you about whether we can buy the car.

Usually the title, a valid photo ID, and the keys if you have them. Please remove personal items and your license plates if you plan to keep or transfer them. See How it works for the full list.

No. The online quote is an estimate based on the details you enter. Your final offer is confirmed after we see the vehicle. If the car matches your description, the offer should be in line with your estimate. If something’s different, we’ll explain why before anything changes.

Not at all. Quotes are free and there’s no obligation. You can say no at any point, including when we arrive.

You’re paid on the spot, in cash, at pickup, after we look at the car and complete the paperwork with you. No waiting for a check in the mail.

No. Pickup is free, and we don’t take towing costs out of your offer.

Once you accept your offer, we schedule a pickup at a time that works for you. Timing depends on your location and that day’s schedule. We’ll give you a pickup window when we confirm the offer.

Usually, yes. Someone needs to be there to sign the paperwork and receive payment. If that’s difficult, let us know and we’ll talk through options.

We’re based in the Addison area and pick up across Chicagoland, including Addison, Carol Stream, Bloomingdale, Wood Dale, Itasca, Glendale Heights, Roselle, Lombard, Elmhurst and nearby suburbs. Enter your ZIP code in the quote form and we’ll confirm.

Often, yes, as long as we can safely and legally access the car. Let us know where it’s parked when we confirm your offer.
