Pickup & Process

How to Get an Unwanted Car Removed From Your Property

A vehicle that's been sitting unused for months or years, whether it's parked in a driveway, a yard, or behind a garage, is usually more trouble to keep than to let go of. Here's what actually happens when you decide to have it removed.

Does It Matter How Long The Vehicle Has Been Sitting?

No. A vehicle's age, or how long it's been parked and unused, doesn't rule it out. Flat tires, a dead battery, or years of yard growth around it don't change whether we can pick it up.

What Do I Need Before Requesting A Quote?

The main thing you'll need is the vehicle's title, showing you as the owner. If you're not sure where it is, see our title requirements guide for what to do next.

How Does Pickup Work For A Vehicle That Doesn't Run?

We bring a flatbed and the equipment needed to load a non-running vehicle, so nothing needs to be started or moved beforehand. See what to expect on pickup day for the full walkthrough.

Is There Any Cost To Have It Removed?

Pickup is free anywhere within our service area, and you're paid at the time the vehicle is removed. There's no cost to have it hauled away, and you leave with the space, and the vehicle, both taken care of at once. We currently serve Dearborn Heights and the surrounding Wayne County area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you remove a car that's overgrown with weeds or partially buried in leaves?

Yes. As long as the vehicle is accessible for our equipment, its condition doesn't rule out pickup.

What if the tires are flat or missing?

That's fine, let us know when you request a quote so we can plan the pickup accordingly.

Do I have to be the one who originally bought the vehicle?

You need to be the titled owner, or have the titled owner present to sign over the title at pickup.
