SELL YOUR CAR

A junk car is a problem in many ways. Not only does it create an eyesore in your yard or garage, but it also can be difficult to sell. People who are purchasing cars don’t want a car that does not run, and dealerships only give the bare minimum when you bring a junk car for a trade in.

If you have been searching for a recycling facility who buys junk cars, look no further than Auto Parts City. Our recycling facility offers junk car buying in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin, including most of Chicagoland and beyond. We provide fair pricing and a clean facility where you will be proud to take your car. If you have spent hours searching “Where can I junk my car?” The answer is Auto Parts City.

GET CASH FOR YOUR VEHICLE

When you have a car you no longer need, finding a place to sell it for a good price is not always easy. Selling to private buyers means the car has to be in perfect condition, making a challenge for those with junk cars on hand, and dealerships are typically looking to give rock-bottom prices for trade ins. When you need cash and want it quickly, Auto Parts City is the answer.

Serving drivers in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin, Auto Parts City is an auto salvage yard that buys used cars, including junk vehicles, and offers fair pricing. Visit us today for a no-obligation quote for your used or junk car, and see how much cash you could get for your car, truck, van or SUV easily.

Sell Your Car for Cash for Your Favorite Charity

Has your car outlived its useful life? Are you looking to make a donation that can be tax deductible? If you live in the greater Chicago area, including Southern Wisconsin, you can turn to Auto Parts City to pick up and donate your car to your choice of cause. Our trusted company offers the maximum donation amount for your vehicle by recycling or reselling it so you can claim the most for your donation while passing the contribution to our partner charities. If you want an eco-friendly option and wish to get the most value for your vehicle while helping one of these noble causes consider Auto Parts City.

At Auto Parts City, we believe in giving back to the local community. That’s why we offer our customers the option to donate their car for cash, but not for themselves. Rather, we will donate the proceeds from your car to your favorite charity. If you want to use your car to support charitable efforts in the community, Auto Parts City makes it easy to do.

Partner With the Area’s Greenest Vehicle Recycling Facility

If you are already thinking of donating your car to support charity, then you are the type of person who is conscientious. That means you likely want to do your part to protect the local environment. Donating your car to Auto Parts City is a great way to do so.

Since we opened in the 1930s, we have worked hard to create a clean, eco-friendly recycling facility that is an asset to the local environment. When you donate your car through us, we will recycle every part of it. In fact, our recycling process is so thorough, we even drain the vehicle of all fluids and recycle them in a recycling center built underneath our recycling facility. Once the cars head to the recycling facility, we rotate them regularly to prevent rust.

Of course, no matter how careful we are, some residual fluid will remain in the car when it heads to our recycling facility. To ensure that does not enter the local waterways, we have a stormwater treatment system that filters the runoff from our facility. We filter runoff from rainfall a minimum of three times. Then, we send it to one of two ponds or a meadow on our property. The water is clean and is used to support green space that we created.

All of this combines to earn us the title of “Greenest Facility in the Country.” We are constantly looking for new ways to continue our recycling efforts, so we can continue to be the Chicago-area’s cleanest, greenest recycling facility.

FAQ's on How to Sell a Junk Car

01What do I need to sell my junk car to Auto Parts City?

You'll need your vehicle title and license plate. These documents confirm ownership and allow us to process the sale legally and efficiently. If you're unsure about your paperwork, call us ahead of your visit and a representative will walk you through what to bring.

No — we buy junk cars whether they run or not. If your vehicle is non-operational, simply give us a call and we'll arrange a free pickup directly from your location. You don't need to worry about towing costs or logistics.

We offer fair market value based on the make, model, year, condition, and current scrap and parts market rates. Unlike dealerships that lowball trade-ins, we aim to give you a competitive price. Stop by for a no-obligation quote — there's no pressure to accept.

Your vehicle goes through our eco-friendly recycling process. We drain and recycle all fluids in our on-site recycling center, recycle usable parts, and process the remaining materials responsibly. Our stormwater treatment system filters runoff a minimum of three times — earning us the title of 'Greenest Facility in the Country.

Absolutely. Auto Parts City offers a car donation program where the proceeds from your vehicle go directly to a charity of your choice. We maximize the donation value by recycling or reselling the car, so your chosen cause receives the most possible. It's a great way to do good while clearing out an unwanted vehicle.

There's no need to wash or detail the vehicle — we accept junk cars in any condition, inside and out. That said, we do recommend removing all personal belongings before pickup, such as documents, valuables, or any items stored in the trunk or glove compartment. Once the car leaves with our team, retrieving personal items becomes difficult. A quick sweep of the interior is all it takes to make sure nothing important gets left behind.

We buy all junk cars of all brands, models and ages
