How do you sell a junk car in Montgomery?
Selling a junk car in Montgomery takes three steps and usually wraps up the same day you call. Give us the year, make, model, and condition, take the offer, and we come to you with cash. Here’s how it works:
- Tell us about the car. Call 1-800-935-8652 or use the online offer tool. We ask for the year, make, model, and whether it runs, rolls, and has wheels. That’s enough to price it.
- Lock in your price. You get a real number, not a “we’ll see when we get there” guess. If it works for you, we schedule a free pickup anywhere in Montgomery or the surrounding county.
- Get paid on pickup. Our driver shows up, confirms the car, and hands you cash. We hook it up and haul it off, with no towing bill, ever.
What is a junk car worth in Montgomery?
Most junk cars in Montgomery bring between $150 and $1,500. Where your car lands depends on scrap weight, whether the catalytic converter is still on it, if it runs or has resale parts, and your title status. Montgomery’s humid, Gulf air is hard on undercarriages, so heavy frame rust on older trucks can pull a number down. A clean, complete cat and solid body push it up.
| Vehicle Type | Typical Payout |
|---|---|
| Small car, non-running (sedan/compact) | $150 – $400 |
| Mid-size car, complete with cat | $300 – $650 |
| Full-size truck or SUV, non-running | $400 – $900 |
| Running vehicle with good parts | $700 – $1,500 |
| Stripped car, no cat / missing wheels | $100 – $300 |
Scrap metal prices move month to month, so these are ranges, not promises. Call or run the offer tool for a number tied to today’s market.
Do you need a title to junk a car in Montgomery?
Usually yes, but there are clear exceptions under Alabama law. The Alabama Department of Revenue (ADOR), Motor Vehicle Division, is the title authority for the state. A normal Montgomery vehicle registered in Alabama needs an Alabama title to transfer ownership when we buy it.
But under Code of Alabama Sec. 32-8-31, any vehicle more than 35 model years old is exempt from needing a title. In 2026 that means a 1990 model or older. Junk and scrap vehicles are also explicitly exempt, so a true scrapper doesn’t require a title to be hauled off.
Lost your title on a newer car? You can get a replacement from ADOR using Form MVT-12-1. The fee is $15, non-refundable. File it online through the ADOR Public Title Portal or mail it to the Alabama Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Division, P.O. Box 327640, Montgomery, AL 36132. When in doubt, call us and we’ll tell you exactly what we need before pickup.
Montgomery junk vehicle and abandoned car rules
If a junk vehicle is sitting on your property in Montgomery, city code can require you to deal with it. The City of Montgomery Code of Ordinances (Sec. 12-31 through 12-111) covers junk and abandoned vehicles, loose auto parts, and nuisance accumulation on private property. The city’s Property Maintenance Division handles enforcement and abatement, and you can reach them at 334-625-2069 with questions about a notice or a vehicle on your lot.
State law backs this up. Under Code of Alabama Title 32, Chapter 13, a vehicle with an expired plate or one that has sat for 30 or more days can be treated as abandoned. On private property, the owner posts a dated notice, and the vehicle may be removed after 7 days. That matters if a tenant, relative, or previous owner left a dead car behind and you’re the one stuck with it.
The simplest way to stay clear of a city violation is to get the car gone. We handle the haul-off, so a code notice doesn’t turn into a fine. Tell us where it sits and we’ll come pull it.

Whether your car’s parked behind a historic Cloverdale home or stuck off a county road past Pike Road, we’ll come to it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you pick up my junk car in Montgomery?
Most Montgomery pickups happen the same day or next day. If you call early and you’re inside the city (Midtown, Capitol Heights, Dalraida, anywhere along I-65 or I-85) we can often have a driver out the same afternoon. Out toward Prattville, Wetumpka, or Pike Road may take a little longer, but we still move fast. You set the time that works for you.
Do you really tow it for free?
Yes. Towing is always free anywhere in Montgomery and Montgomery County. The price we quote is what you get in hand. We don’t deduct a tow fee, a fuel charge, or any “processing” cost. Our driver hooks up the car, pays you cash, and hauls it off. The only thing that comes out of your driveway is the junk car.
Will you buy a car that doesn’t run or won’t start?
Yes. Most cars we buy in Montgomery don’t run. Dead engine, blown transmission, won’t crank, flooded, or rotted from years of humid Gulf air, none of that stops us. As long as we can get to it and it’s mostly complete, we’ll make an offer and tow it. You don’t need to get it running or move it anywhere first.
What if I lost the title to my car?
If your car is more than 35 model years old (1990 or older in 2026) or qualifies as junk, Alabama law exempts it from needing a title. For newer cars, you can order a replacement from ADOR with Form MVT-12-1 for a $15 fee, online or by mail to their Montgomery office. Call us first and we’ll tell you exactly what you need for your specific car before you spend a dime.
How do you decide what my junk car is worth?
We look at scrap weight, whether the catalytic converter is still attached, if the car runs or has resale parts, and the current scrap metal market. A heavy full-size truck with its cat brings more than a stripped compact. Montgomery’s rust-prone climate can knock down a corroded frame, but a complete, solid car holds its value. We’ll give you a straight number tied to today’s prices.
Can you remove a junk car the city flagged on my property?
Yes. If Montgomery’s Property Maintenance Division (334-625-2069) sent you a notice under the city ordinance for a junk or abandoned vehicle, getting it hauled off clears the issue. We tow it free and pay you for it, so a code violation doesn’t turn into a fine. Just tell us where it sits and what condition it’s in, and we’ll schedule the pickup.
Someone left a car on my property — can I sell it?
It depends on the situation. Under Code of Alabama Title 32, Chapter 13, a vehicle with an expired plate or one sitting 30-plus days can be treated as abandoned. The property owner posts a dated notice, and after 7 days it can be removed. Follow that process and you may be able to clear ownership. Call us and we’ll walk you through what we’d need to buy it.
Do you buy cars outside Montgomery city limits?
Yes. We cover the whole greater Montgomery metro. That includes Prattville, Pike Road, Wetumpka, and Millbrook, plus county addresses off US-80 and US-231. If you’re not sure whether you’re in our pickup range, just call with your location. We tow across Montgomery County and well beyond, and free towing applies the same everywhere.
