CASH FOR NON-RUNNING CARS ST. LOUIS — FREE TOW INCLUDED
Blown engine, seized transmission, won't start at all — we buy non-running vehicles and tow them free.
Your car doesn't have to run for us to buy it. Non-running vehicles are our bread and butter — blown engines, bad transmissions, seized brakes, dead electrical — we buy them all across St. Louis and Metro East Illinois.
A non-running car isn't worthless. The engine block, transmission case, catalytic converters, body panels, and scrap steel all have real salvage value. We assess what's there and pay you a fair cash price regardless of running condition.
Best of all, we bring our own flatbed — so you don't need to figure out how to get the car to us. We come to you, we load it ourselves, and we pay you cash right there.

"My old Impala hadn't run in 3 years. I had no idea how to get rid of it. These guys came out with a flatbed, winched it out of the yard, and paid me $450 cash. Couldn't be happier."
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you buy my car if the engine is blown?
Yes. A blown engine is one of the most common reasons people call us. The rest of the vehicle — body, transmission, drivetrain — still has value.
My car has been sitting for years — can you still buy it?
We buy long-sitting vehicles regularly. Even with flat tires, seized brakes, and a dead battery, the car still has scrap and parts value. Call us.
How do you load a non-running car?
We bring a flatbed tow truck equipped to handle non-running vehicles. We winch or roll-load the vehicle — you don't need to do a thing.
Does a non-running car pay less than a running one?
Generally yes, but not always by much. The biggest factor is year, weight, and make — not whether it runs. A heavy non-running SUV often pays more than a running small car.
What if the car is stuck in mud or in a tight space?
Call us and describe the situation. We have experience with challenging extractions and will tell you honestly if we can handle it.
