From the Fan and Church Hill to Manchester and the Southside, we buy junk, wrecked and dead cars across the city of Richmond. 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.
Richmond is Virginia’s capital and an independent city — it belongs to no county, sitting at the fall line of the James River with about 227,000 residents and ringed by Henrico and Chesterfield. From the historic Fan District and Church Hill to Manchester and the Southside neighborhoods, a dead car parked on a Richmond street is a city pickup to us, and the deal is the same everywhere: a free tow and cash on the spot.
We pay for cars in any shape. The project car that never got finished in a Southside garage, the flooded sedan near Shockoe Bottom, the work van rusting behind a shop off Broad Street — those are the calls we want. You do not fix it, clean it, or move it. We bring the truck to you.
Most of the city gets same-day pickup when you call before noon, with quick access off I-95, I-64 and the Downtown Expressway. We tell you the window straight when we book.
No title is usually not a dealbreaker. Virginia has clear steps for salvage, nonrepairable and lost-title cars, covered below.
Virginia handles junk and salvage cars under Title 46.2, Chapter 16 of the state code, through the Virginia DMV. The right paperwork depends on the car:
You have the title. Sign it over to the licensed buyer. For a car you are scrapping, the buyer reports the disposition to the DMV.
The car is wrecked or totaled. An owner can declare a vehicle salvage using Form VSA 56, or nonrepairable using Form VSA 57. A nonrepairable car can only be sold to licensed salvage dealers, dismantlers or scrap processors — which is exactly what we work with.
You lost the title. The Virginia DMV can issue a replacement title so you can complete the sale.
For the official rules, the Virginia DMV publishes the salvage and nonrepairable vehicle process, and the relevant statutes live in the Code of Virginia.
We build out Richmond neighborhood by neighborhood. City zip pages are rolling out — jump up to all of Virginia or over to the neighboring counties.
It is simple: call us with the year, make, model and condition, accept your cash offer, and we schedule a free tow. Have your title or replacement paperwork ready, remove your plates, and cancel the insurance. We pay cash when we load it.
Yes. Virginia does not require a current registration to junk a car — an expired or lapsed registration is fine. What you do need is proof of ownership, usually the title or an affidavit in lieu of title. We handle the pickup either way.
Virginia wants proof of ownership for any vehicle, regardless of age. The cleanest proof is the title, but if yours is lost you apply for a replacement with DMV Form VSA 67, or use an Affidavit in Lieu of Title (Form VSA 17B). We tell you exactly which one your situation needs before we tow.
No. The phone quote is what you get at the curb if the car matches your description. We do not lowball on arrival.
Cash on pickup in Richmond, paid when we load the car — no waiting on a check.
Keys and whatever title paperwork you have. Missing title? We point you to the DMV form. We handle the rest.
None. Free tow, no fees at pickup. The quoted number is the cash you receive.
Yes. Wrecked, flooded and storm-damaged cars are squarely what we buy. Running or not, we tow it free.
The Fan, Church Hill, Southside, Manchester and every neighborhood between. Free tow, firm offer, paid on pickup.
