From Akron and Cuyahoga Falls to Stow, Barberton, Hudson and Twinsburg, we buy junk, wrecked and dead cars across all of Summit 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.
Summit County packs more than 540,000 people into the Akron metro area, from the city of Akron itself out to Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Barberton, Hudson and Twinsburg, with the Cuyahoga Valley National Park threading through the middle. A car that gave out in a Goodyear Heights driveway and one rusting behind a shop in Barberton are both Summit County jobs to us, and both get the same deal: a free tow and cash on the spot.
We pay for cars in any shape. Northeast Ohio winters and road salt are brutal — the rusted-out sedan, the truck with a seized engine, the car that has not started in three winters. Those are the calls we want. You do not fix it, clean it, or move it. We bring the truck.
Most of the county gets same-day pickup when you call before noon, with quick access off I-76, I-77 and SR 8. Outlying corners 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 Summit 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 Summit County street by street. Akron is live now with full neighborhood and zip coverage.
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.
Keys and any title paperwork you have. Missing title? We tell you the BMV form to file. We handle the rest.
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.
It depends on the car and your goals. Donating can offer a tax deduction but the paperwork and payout timing vary; scrapping puts cash in your hand the same day. For a non-running or low-value car, selling for cash is usually faster and simpler. We give you a firm number so you can compare.
Ohio requires a title to junk a vehicle of any age. If yours is lost, you apply for a duplicate with BMV Form 3774 at any county Clerk of Courts title office — the BMV itself does not issue titles in Ohio. If you never received a title, a court-ordered title is the route. We tell you exactly which one fits before we tow.
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.
Most Summit County pickups happen same-day or next-day. Call before noon and we usually tow the same day. We confirm the window when you book.
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.
Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Barberton, Hudson and everywhere between. Free tow, firm offer, paid on pickup.
