This directory section lists auto salvage yards and junkyards that operate their own tow trucks or offer dedicated vehicle pickup. Facilities with in-house towing can haul non-running cars, accident wrecks, and frame-damaged vehicles directly without third-party service delays. Before scheduling a pickup, confirm whether towing is complimentary for junk sales or charged at a flat rate.

Good to know
How much does tow truck service cost if I am not selling the car for scrap?
Standard private tow rates typically start with a base hookup fee of $75 to $125, plus an additional $3 to $7 per mile traveled. Emergency or after-hours 24/7 dispatches often include an additional $35 to $75 surcharge depending on the region.
Do salvage yards provide free towing for junk cars?
Most auto recyclers provide free towing if you are selling the vehicle directly to their yard for scrap value. The cost of transport is factored into your cash offer, though vehicles located beyond a 30-mile service radius may incur a $50 to $100 distance fee.
What documentation must I show the tow truck driver upon arrival?
You must present a valid government-issued photo ID and a physical vehicle title signed over to the buyer. If the state permits title-exempt scrapping for older models, you will need a matching state registration card and a signed bill of sale.
Who will buy junk cars?
Auto wreckers, scrap recycling centers, and vehicle salvage yards buy scrap cars across Illinois. You can browse 30 licensed auto buyers in the state to get competitive scrap quotes. Most buyers handle all ownership transfer paperwork and offer complimentary towing.
Who gives the most cash for junk cars?
High cash offers are typically made by established salvage yards and automotive recyclers operating in Illinois. With 30 listings available state-wide, comparing quotes from multiple yards helps maximize your payout. Complete vehicles with intact catalytic converters and valuable parts command higher prices.
