No Keys? No Problem.

Keys matter for driving — but your junk car isn't being driven. We load it with a winch onto a flatbed, so we don't need the keys, the battery, or the car to roll. Lost the keys years ago? Fine. Car is locked? We can access it from the outside. Call it in and we'll handle it.

Lost the Keys? We Still Buy It.

Lost keys are one of the most common reasons people think they can't sell a junk car. You can. We don't need to start it, unlock it, or drive it. A winch loads it onto a flatbed. The only question is whether the steering wheel locks — and even that we can work around.
