Selling a junk car on the West Side
Cash For Junk Cars Westside Chicago LLC buys junk cars, trucks and vans from Chicago's West Side and the near west suburbs. We give you an offer over the phone, tow the car away for free from wherever it's parked, and pay you at pickup in cash, by Zelle or by Cash App.
We're based at 2727 W Chicago Ave. The cars we buy are the ones nobody else wants: dead engines, crash damage, a decade behind a two-flat, a title that went missing.

Pickup area around Chicago Avenue
We're based on Chicago Avenue just east of California Avenue. Most pickups are on the West Side, from Humboldt Park and West Town down to Little Village, and in the suburbs that start at Austin Boulevard, beginning with Oak Park.
Each area page covers the ZIP codes, the drive from our lot, local parking rules for a car that won't move, and the landmarks our drivers use.
Title missing, lien open, owner passed away
Paperwork is often the hard part of a junk car sale. A title is the simplest way to sell, but it isn't the only route in every case. Tell us what you have. Illinois law sets which papers count for a scrap sale, and we'll confirm on the call before anyone sends a truck.
