From Lorain and Elyria to Avon, Avon Lake, North Ridgeville and Amherst, we buy junk, wrecked and dead cars across all of Lorain County. 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.
Lorain County stretches across roughly 490 square miles of land on the western edge of Greater Cleveland, with more than 312,000 people split between the lakefront city of Lorain, the county seat of Elyria on the forks of the Black River, and growing suburbs like Avon, Avon Lake and North Ridgeville. The college town of Oberlin sits to the south. A car stranded near the Lake Erie shore and one parked behind a house in Elyria are both Lorain County jobs to us.
We pay for cars in any shape. Lake-effect winters and salt air off Erie eat vehicles alive — the rusted frame, the dead engine, the car that has sat since the last bad winter. Those are exactly the calls we want. You do not fix it, clean it, or move it. We come to the car.
Most of the county gets same-day pickup when you call before noon, with fast access off I-90, the Ohio Turnpike and SR 2. The rural southern townships near Wellington sometimes run next-day, and we tell you the window when we book.
No title is usually not a dealbreaker. Ohio has clear steps for lost and missing titles, covered below.
Ohio requires a valid certificate of title to transfer or scrap any vehicle — it is how the state keeps junk cars from being stolen or sold twice. Here is what that means for you:
You have the title. Sign it over to the licensed salvage buyer, with an odometer reading for 1995-or-newer cars. The buyer marks it “FOR DESTRUCTION” and surrenders it to the Clerk of Courts. Done.
You lost the title. Apply for a duplicate using BMV Form 3774 at the Lorain County Clerk of Courts Title Office. Bring a photo ID and something showing the VIN. It is usually quick and inexpensive.
You never got a title (inherited or bought years ago without one). Ohio uses a court-ordered title through the Clerk of Courts when ownership cannot be proven the normal way. We can point you in the right direction.
Unlike some states, Ohio runs vehicle titles through the county Clerk of Courts rather than the BMV branch. The Ohio BMV covers the rules and the Clerk of Courts handles the title itself.
We build out Lorain County street by street. City and zip pages are rolling out — start with the county or jump up to all of Ohio.
None. Free tow, no fees at pickup. The quoted number is the cash you get.
Not until the lien is cleared. If a lender still holds a lien on the title, the loan has to be paid off or the lienholder has to release it before ownership can transfer. We can walk you through what that looks like.
Ohio needs a valid title, but a lost one is replaced with BMV Form 3774 at the county Clerk of Courts. No title ever? Ohio uses a court-ordered title through the Clerk of Courts. We help you through it.
No. The phone quote holds at the curb as long as the car matches what you described. No arrival-time lowball.
Nothing on our end — the tow is free and there are no pickup fees. Your only possible cost is a duplicate title (around $15) if yours is missing. The cash offer is what you keep.
Yes. Road salt wrecks a lot of cars here, and rusted, salt-eaten vehicles are squarely what we buy. Running or not, the tow is free.
Yes. Ohio does not require a current registration to junk a car — an expired tag is fine. What you do need is proof of ownership, normally the title or a duplicate. We handle the pickup once ownership is clear.
Yes. Non-running, wrecked and rusted cars are exactly what we buy in Lorain County. We bring the truck and tow it free.
Lorain, Elyria, Avon, North Ridgeville, Amherst and everywhere between. Free tow, firm offer, paid on pickup.
