Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Got questions about selling your junk vehicle in Colorado? Here are the most common questions our dispatch team answers every day.

Can I sell a car without a title in Denver, Colorado?

Yes. Under Colorado law, licensed auto recyclers can purchase older or scrap vehicles without a physical title, provided you can prove ownership. You will need a valid government-issued photo ID (driver's license or passport) and matching vehicle registration, bill of sale, or insurance record. Our driver will verify the VIN and have you sign a Colorado bill of sale upon pickup.

How much cash will I get for my junk car?

Payouts depend on the vehicle's year, make, model, weight, whether the catalytic converter and battery are intact, and current scrap metal commodity rates. Complete scrap cars typically range from $200 to $600, while running cars, repairable collision vehicles, and late-model trucks/SUVs can fetch $1,000 to $10,000+. Use our instant calculator above or call for a firm quote.

Is towing really 100% free?

Yes, absolutely. Towing is free across the entire Denver metropolitan area (Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson counties). We never deduct towing fees or surprise you with service charges when our driver arrives.

How quickly can you pick up my vehicle?

In most cases, we offer same-day towing if you contact us before 2:00 PM. Pickups usually occur within 2 to 4 hours. You can also schedule a specific date and morning/afternoon window that fits your schedule.

Do I have to be with the vehicle when you tow it?

Usually yes, because we need your signature on the transfer documentation and we want to hand you your cash payment in person. If you cannot be present, arrangements can be made in advance if ownership paperwork is signed and verified ahead of dispatch.

What should I do with my Colorado license plates?

Always remove your Colorado license plates before our tow driver pulls away. You can transfer them to another vehicle at the DMV or return them. Also remember to cancel your insurance policy once the bill of sale is signed.
