From the downtown high-rises to Dr. Phillips, Lake Nona, UCF and Waterford Lakes, we buy junk, wrecked and dead cars in every Orlando neighborhood. Free towing, a firm offer up front, and title help when you need it.
Tell us the year, make, model and condition. We give you a number that holds when the truck shows up.
Orlando is a big, spread-out city — more than 310,000 people inside the city limits and a metro pushing past two and a half million, stretched from the downtown core out to the theme park corridor, the UCF area, and the Lake Nona boomtown in the southeast. We cover all of it. A car that died in a College Park driveway and one stranded in a Waterford Lakes garage are both Orlando pickups to us, and both get the same deal: a free tow and cash in hand.
We buy cars in any shape. The flood car from the last big storm that never ran right again, the truck with a blown engine behind a shop off Orange Blossom Trail, the sedan a tenant left behind near UCF, the rental fleet trade-in out by I-Drive — those are the calls we want. You do not fix anything, clean anything, or drive it anywhere. We come to the car.
Most of the city gets same-day pickup when you call before noon, with quick access off I-4, the 408, the 417 and the Beachline. We tell you the window straight when we book it — no four-hour mystery gaps, no "the driver will call eventually."
And if the title is a problem, it usually is not a dealbreaker. Florida gives you real options for older cars and lost titles, and we know which form fits which situation. More on that further down.
We pick up in every Orlando zip code, grouped here by part of the city. Downtown 32801 has its own detailed page — more neighborhood pages are rolling out. Do not see your exact zip? We still cover it. Call and we will confirm.
The urban core along Lake Eola, plus the close-in historic neighborhoods. Condo garages, surface lots, and tight residential streets — all routine pickups for us.
From Azalea Park out to the University of Central Florida, Waterford Lakes and Avalon Park. Student cars and second vehicles that gave out are a steady call here.
Conway, Pinecastle and the fast-growing Lake Nona and Hunters Creek corridor down toward the airport and Medical City.
Dr. Phillips, Bay Hill and the International Drive resort corridor near Universal, SeaWorld and Disney. Rental fleet trade-ins and resort-area cars are common here.
MetroWest, Pine Hills and the Hiawassee corridor along the west side of the city. Older housing stock means plenty of long-parked project cars.
Selling a junk car in Orlando should take one phone call, not a week of back-and-forth. Here is how ours works:
1. You tell us about the car. Year, make, model, and rough condition — does it run, is it wrecked, does it have the catalytic converter, are the wheels on it. A few questions, that is it. You do not need to know the exact value; that is our job.
2. We give you a firm number. Based on the car and current Central Florida scrap and parts demand, you get a real offer on the spot — not a vague range, not a "we will see when we get there." The number we say on the phone is the number you get at pickup.
3. We tow it free and pay you. We schedule a window that works for you, show up with a truck, hand you the cash, and haul the car. Downtown condo garage, Dr. Phillips cul-de-sac, or a yard out in Wedgefield — the tow is always on us.
That is the whole thing. No fees pulled out at the curb, no "we found rust we did not expect" games, no waiting on a check to clear.
Florida handles junk cars under specific FLHSMV rules, and the right paperwork depends on your car. Here is how it actually breaks down:
You have the title. Simplest case. You sign the “Transfer of Title by Seller” section over to the salvage buyer and you are done.
The car is 10 years or older and you have no title. Florida lets you use FLHSMV Form 82137, the Derelict Motor Vehicle Certificate and Request to Cancel Title, instead of chasing the original. A lot of older Orlando junk cars take this path.
You lost the title but the car is newer. File Form 82101 for a duplicate, then transfer normally. The Orange County Tax Collector handles this at branches including the downtown office on South Orange Avenue.
For the official process, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles publishes the junk-vehicle steps, and the Orange County Tax Collector processes the tag and title work locally.
Looking beyond the city line? We cover the whole county and the rest of Central Florida.
None. The tow is free and there are no fees pulled out at pickup. The number we quote is the cash you are handed.
Yes. Non-running, wrecked, flooded and stripped cars are exactly what we buy in orlando-city. We bring the truck and tow it free.
If the car still runs and has clean paperwork, a private sale may net more. Once it is non-running, wrecked or not worth fixing, selling it to a junk-car buyer is usually faster and nets more than a scrapyard, because we count reusable parts on top of scrap weight and tow it free.
No. The figure quoted on the phone is what you get at the curb, assuming the car matches what you described. We do not lowball on arrival.
Most Florida junk cars bring $200 to $1,500 depending on year, make, model and condition, plus the catalytic converter and current scrap demand. You get a firm number up front.
Anywhere in our coverage area. Tell us your ZIP and the car’s year, make, model and condition, and we give a firm offer with free local towing. We are expanding across Florida, so if your town is not listed yet, call and we will confirm coverage.
There is no Florida $3,000 rule for junking a car — it is a personal-finance guideline (roughly: if a car needs more than about $3,000 in repairs a year, it is usually time to let it go). For actually selling the car, what matters in Florida is the title or, for older low-value cars, the Form 82137 derelict process. If repairs have passed that point, a firm cash offer and free tow is the simpler exit.
Just the keys and whatever title paperwork you have. If the title is missing we will tell you the form to file. We handle the rest.
