Junk Car Removal

Why That Old Car Needs to Go

Every neighborhood has one. An old car sitting in a driveway or garage that has not run in years. Maybe it belonged to a family member who is no longer around. Perhaps you bought it planning to restore it but never found the time. Or it simply broke down and repairing it cost more than the car was worth.

Junk cars take up space you could use for something else. They leak fluids into your driveway, attract rodents, and make your property look neglected. Neighbors might complain, and some cities have ordinances against keeping non-running vehicles visible from the street. Our Ankeny junk car removal service solves the problem quickly by hauling away unwanted vehicles for you.

Vehicles We Take Away

We remove all types of junk vehicles regardless of their condition. You do not need to fix anything or make it run before we come get it. Here is what we handle:

• Non-running cars and trucks with engine problems, transmission failure, or major mechanical issues
• Wrecked vehicles from accidents that insurance companies totaled out
• Rusted or rotted vehicles too far gone to restore economically
• Old project cars that have been sitting disassembled for years
• Vehicles with missing parts like engines, transmissions, or wheels
• Cars with expired registration that would cost too much to make legal again

It does not matter if your vehicle is in a garage, driveway, backyard, or even partially buried in weeds. If we can reach it with our truck, we can remove it. For vehicles that still run but need transport, check out our flatbed towing service for safer handling.

The Removal Process Made Simple

Getting rid of a junk car should not be complicated. Here is exactly how we handle it from start to finish.

First, call us and describe your vehicle and its location. We will ask basic questions like the year, make, model, and whether it has wheels and can roll. This helps us send the right equipment. We schedule a pickup time that works for you, usually within a day or two.

When we arrive, our driver assesses the vehicle and figures out the best way to load it. If it rolls, we drive or push it onto our truck. If it does not roll, we use a winch to pull it up. Once it is loaded and secured, we take it away and you never have to deal with it again. The whole process typically takes 20 to 40 minutes depending on access and vehicle condition.

You will need to sign over the title so we can legally take ownership and dispose of the vehicle properly. If you do not have the title, some situations allow us to still remove the vehicle, but you will need to check with your state DMV about lost title procedures. We can guide you through what paperwork you need.

Why Ankeny Residents Choose Our Removal Service

You have options for getting rid of a junk car, but most of them involve hassle. Trying to sell it privately means dealing with tire kickers who waste your time. Parting it out takes months of work and you still have the shell to dispose of. Junkyards might take it but often require you to deliver it yourself, which is impossible if the car does not run.

We come to you and handle everything. You do not need to clean the car, remove parts, or do any prep work. We load it as-is and haul it away. Our pricing is straightforward and fair based on the vehicle size and location. Most removals cost less than you would spend trying to make the car sellable.

We dispose of junk vehicles responsibly, recycling usable parts and materials when possible. This keeps them out of landfills and reduces waste. For vehicles that just need to be moved but might still be fixable, consider our long-distance towing if you want it transported to someone else who might restore it.
