Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine the value of my junk car in Rio?

The value of your car is based on current scrap metal prices in IL, the make and model, the year, and whether it has salvageable parts. Our instant quote system calculates the highest possible payout for your specific vehicle.

What should I do with my license plates?

Before the tow truck arrives, please remove your personal belongings and your license plates from the vehicle. In Illinois, you may need to return the plates to the DMV or transfer them to another vehicle.
