Cash for Junk Cars in Detroit, MI — Free Towing, Paid on the Spot

If you've got a car sitting in your driveway on Tireman, in Southwest Detroit, or anywhere else in the city that hasn't moved in months, TK Junk Cars will come get it — usually the same day you call. We're based right here at 6666 Tireman Ave, so when we say "same-day pickup," we mean it: our tow truck isn't coming from another county.

Here's how we work. Give us the year, make, and model, and we'll give you a real number over the phone — not a lowball estimate that changes once our driver shows up. When we arrive, we inspect the car, hand you cash, and tow it away. No fees, no waiting for a check in the mail, no "we'll pay you once it's scrapped."

One thing we won't do is buy a car without a title. We know some buyers in the area advertise "no title, no problem" — we don't work that way, because in Michigan, transferring ownership without a title isn't something we're willing to cut corners on. If you've lost your title, we can walk you through getting a replacement from the Secretary of State before pickup — it's a faster process than most people expect.

How It Works

1. Call or request a quote. Tell us the vehicle's year, make, model, and condition — running or not.

2. Get a real cash offer. We price based on weight, metal value, and demand for parts, not guesswork.

3. We come to you. Pick a time that works — most Detroit pickups happen within 24 hours.

4. Get paid on the spot. Cash in hand before the car leaves your property. No deductions, no surprises.

What We Buy

We buy pretty much anything with four wheels and a title, regardless of condition:

• Cars that run fine but aren't worth fixing
• Cars that don't run at all — dead battery, blown engine, doesn't matter
• Wrecked or accident-damaged vehicles
• Flood or fire-damaged vehicles
• Trucks, SUVs, and vans
• Vehicles with rust, missing parts, or body damage

To be clear about what we don't do: we don't sell used parts, engines, transmissions, or catalytic converters, and we don't buy vehicles without a title. If you're looking for parts rather than to sell a whole vehicle, we're not the right stop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you buy junk cars without a title in Detroit?
No. Michigan law requires a title to legally transfer ownership of a vehicle, and we follow that rule with every purchase. If you've lost your title, we can point you to the fastest way to get a duplicate from the Michigan Secretary of State so the sale doesn't get held up.

How much can I get for my junk car?
It depends on the vehicle's weight, current scrap metal prices, and whether any parts still have resale value. A full-size truck is usually worth more than a compact sedan, and a car with a running engine is worth more than one that doesn't. Call us with the year, make, and model and we'll give you a specific number, not a range.

Is towing really free?
Yes, every time, regardless of the car's condition or where in Detroit it's located. There's no towing fee added or subtracted from your offer.

Do you buy cars that don't run?
Yes. Most of the vehicles we pick up don't run. A dead engine or transmission doesn't disqualify a car — it's factored into the offer.

How fast can you pick up my car in Detroit?
Most Detroit-area pickups happen within 24 hours of the initial call, and same-day pickup is common if you call in the morning.

What paperwork do I need?
Just your title, signed over to us, and a valid ID that matches the name on the title. We handle the rest.
