Everything people ask
Do I need the title to sell my car?
Usually, but not always. Ohio lets us buy some vehicles without a title depending on age and condition, and we handle duplicate-title paperwork for free. Call (216) 355-6164 and we'll tell you straight away which applies to you.
How fast can you pick it up?
Same day is the rule, not the exception. Call before 4pm and we can usually get a truck out the same afternoon anywhere in Cuyahoga County. After hours, we come first thing the next morning.
What if the car doesn't run at all?
That's most of what we buy. Blown engine, dropped transmission, flood, fire, collision, sitting eight years with a flat battery — it all still has value in parts and weight. It does not need to start, steer, or roll.
How do you pay?
Cash · Zelle · Venmo · Cash App — your choice, handed over before the car goes on the truck. We never mail a check and we never pay after pickup.
Is towing really free?
Yes, everywhere we serve. Driveway, street, garage, body shop, impound lot, apartment complex. The tow is never deducted from your offer.
Where are you based, and how far do you go?
5010 Fleet Ave, Cleveland, OH 44105, in Slavic Village. From there we run all of Cuyahoga County and out across Northeast Ohio — Parma, Berea, Middleburg Heights, Strongsville, Lakewood, Medina, Lorain, Elyria, the east-side suburbs, all of it. If the deal is right, distance is not the problem. Call (216) 355-6164 and ask about your town.
My town is not on your list. Do you still come?
Yes. The city pages are there so people can find us, not to fence off where we go. If you are anywhere in Northeast Ohio, call (216) 355-6164. And if we genuinely are not the right outfit for your job, we will point you to someone in our network who is — we would rather refer you than leave you stuck.
Is this the same company as other businesses called "Ronnie's"?
No. This is RDB's Towing & Auto — RDB's — at 5010 Fleet Ave, Cleveland, OH 44105, owned by Ronnie Butcher Jr. Several unrelated companies trade as "Ronnie's" in other states, including motorsports dealers and towing companies. None of them are us, and none of their phone numbers reach Ronnie. Our only number is (216) 355-6164 and our only website is ronniebuys.com.
Do you do more than buy junk cars?
Yes. Towing and recovery, roadside assistance — jump starts, lockouts, flat tires, fuel — and snow removal in winter. Call (216) 355-6164 and ask.
Do you buy more than one car at a time?
Yes. Fleet sell-offs, dealer lot cleanouts, insurance write-offs and charity-donation overflow are welcome. Call (216) 355-6164 for volume pricing.
Do you charge anything at all?
No. Towing is free, the paperwork is free, and nothing is deducted from the number you agreed to on the phone.
What if my car is in an apartment lot or impound?
We do those constantly. Apartment complexes, body shops, impound lots and street parking are all routine — just tell us where it sits and who to check in with, if anyone.
Do you buy motorcycles, boats or campers?
Sometimes, depending on condition and title. Call (216) 355-6164 and describe it — worst case we tell you no in thirty seconds.
How do I cancel or reschedule a pickup?
Call (216) 355-6164. There's no fee and no hassle — we'd rather move the slot than have a truck sit outside an empty driveway.
Is my information sold to other buyers?
No. We're the yard buying the car, not a lead broker. Your details are used to quote and collect your vehicle, full stop.
Question not here? Call (216) 355-6164 — the shop picks up.
Got a car taking up space?
One call, a real number, and it's gone by dinner. Mon–Sat 7a–8p · Sun 9a–5p.
