Sell Your Junk Car in Chicago with Same-Day Cash and Free Towing
Looking for cash for junk cars in Chicago? IronRex Top Cash For Junk Cars buys vehicles across Chicago and ZIP codes 60629, 60632, 60638 and 60652, seven days a week, around the clock. One phone call gets you a real number, not a range that shrinks when the driver shows up.
We work the whole area around Archer Avenue, Pulaski Road, Cicero Avenue and the Stevenson Expressway, including the blocks near Midway Airport, Ford City and the industrial stretch along Archer. We run into the Southwest Side every day of the week, and we know which blocks need a permit and which ones don’t.
City pickups have their own rules. Permit parking, narrow gangways, cars boxed in behind a two-flat, vehicles that have collected city stickers and orange tags for months. We deal with all of it. If your car has been ticketed or tagged for removal, tell us when you call, because that usually means we need to move faster, not slower.

Cash For Junk Cars in Chicago: Frequently Asked Questions
How much cash can I get for a junk car in Chicago?
Most Chicago vehicles land between $200 and $1,500, and running cars, trucks and SUVs go higher. The number depends on year, make, model, weight, whether it runs, and the condition of the catalytic converter and major parts. We quote a firm price over the phone at (708) 476-5385 and that is the number you get paid. We do not renegotiate at the curb.
Do you tow for free in Chicago?
Yes. Towing is free anywhere in Chicago and across our 100-mile service radius. It is not deducted from your offer, and there is no hook-up fee, fuel charge or after-hours fee. We run into the Southwest Side every day of the week, and we know which blocks need a permit and which ones don’t.
Can I sell a junk car in Chicago without a title?
Often, yes. Illinois has processes for vehicles without a title depending on the age of the car, whether there is a lien, and how you came to own it. Bring your photo ID and whatever paperwork you do have, and we will tell you honestly on the phone whether we can complete the sale. You can confirm Illinois title and transfer rules with the Illinois Secretary of State.
How fast can you pick up my car in Chicago?
Same-day pickup is normal in Chicago. We answer the phone 24/7 and schedule around you, including evenings and weekends. Call early and there is a good chance the car is gone and you are paid before the day is out.
What kinds of vehicles do you buy in Chicago?
Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, minivans and commercial vehicles, running or not. Wrecked, flooded, blown engine, failed emissions, no keys, sitting for years, missing parts. If it has four wheels and a VIN, call us before you call a scrapper.
Ready to Turn That Car Into Cash?
