About APCITY — Auto Parts City
We are a Gurnee-based salvage yard and junk car buyer at 3535 Washington St, Gurnee, IL 60031. Because we recycle and resell parts ourselves, we can pay more than a broker who simply flips your car to a scrapyard. Every offer accounts for the vehicle's weight, year and the components that still have life in them.
Condition genuinely does not matter to us. Flood-damaged sedans from the Des Plaines River bottoms, minivans that failed emissions, pickups with blown head gaskets, hail-dented trade-ins nobody wanted — we buy them running or not. Missing keys, flat tires, and cars that have not moved since the last Warren Township snow season are all routine for our drivers.
No Title? Gurnee Sellers Still Have Options
If your title is lost or was never transferred, tell us when you call. In many Illinois situations we can complete the purchase with a photo ID and registration, and we will walk you through exactly what the state needs before the truck rolls out.
We buy vehicles in any condition — non-running, flood damaged, collision totals, failed emissions, missing keys — and in many Illinois situations we can complete the purchase without a title.

Gurnee Junk Car FAQs
How much can I get for my junk car in Gurnee?
The value of your junk car depends on its year, make, model, weight, condition, usable parts, and current scrap and parts market prices. Each vehicle is evaluated based on its individual characteristics.
Do you buy non-running cars in Gurnee?
Yes. We buy vehicles in a variety of conditions, including non-running, damaged, wrecked, high-mileage, and older vehicles. Contact us with your vehicle details to discuss the selling process.
How do I sell my junk car in Gurnee?
Start by providing information about your vehicle, including its year, make, model, condition, and ownership status. We can then discuss the vehicle and the next steps for completing the sale.
Do I need a title to sell my car in Gurnee?
A vehicle title is preferred because it helps establish ownership and makes the transaction easier. Illinois has alternative options for certain situations. Call 847-244-7171 to discuss your specific paperwork.

The selling process depends on your vehicle information, paperwork, offer, and pickup arrangements. Once the details are confirmed, we can coordinate the next steps according to your situation.
