What counts as a "junk car" in Cleveland?

Anything you want gone. Won't-run cars. Rough-run cars. Wrecked cars. Cars with deferred maintenance that ballooned past the car's value. Cars sitting on the lawn because the repair shop quoted $4,800. Cars without title. Cars with salvage title. Cars the kids left when they moved out. All of them. We tow them. We pay you.

  1. Describe it on the phone. Year, make, model, ZIP, condition. Doesn't have to be perfect — we're used to "I'm not sure what's wrong with it."
  2. Hear the number. Real cash quote. We tell you the math.
  3. Get the cash, then we tow. Same day. Cash before hookup. Free DMV paperwork.

Junk car quote math

Three inputs — this week's scrap steel price, the parts demand for your specific year/make/model (catalytic converter intact? transmission still good? clean title?), and your location (we don't lowball the long-haul towns). That's the quote. Same math every time.

What you don't need

  • You don't need the car to run.
  • You don't need it to start, shift, steer, or roll.
  • You don't need the title in some cases — we'll handle it at the BMV.
  • You don't need to clean it. Personal items? Pull them. Anything you forget, we mail back.
  • You don't need to pay for the tow. Ever.

Frequently asked questions

Who buys cars for cash near me in Cleveland?

RDB's Towing & Auto. We've been buying Cleveland cars for cash before the tow since 1990 — running or not, title or no title, any make and model. Call (216) 355-6164 and the shop picks up.

How much will you pay for my car?

A real number, calculated three ways: scrap weight at this week's steel price, parts demand for your year/make/model, and title status. We tell you the math on the phone. The quote you hear is the cash we hand you.

How fast can you pay me for my car?

Same day, in most cases. Call before 4 p.m. and the truck rolls the same afternoon. Cash, Zelle, Venmo, or Cash App — before we hook up. Phone quote in 60 seconds: (216) 355-6164.

Will you buy a car that won't run?

Yes — that's the bulk of what we do. Won't start, won't shift, won't move at all. Blown engine, blown transmission, smashed body, flood damage, frozen solid — we tow it and pay you.

Can I sell my car without a title?

In most Ohio cases, yes. If the car is in your name on the BMV record and you have ID, we can process a duplicate or a junk certificate the same day, at no charge.

Is this better than CarMax or trading in?

For junk and rough cars, almost always. Dealers and CarMax pass on cars they can't easily resell; we pay a fair number specifically because we strip and recycle. For clean, drivable cars we'll quote anyway — and we beat trade-in offers more often than not.

Do you charge for the tow?

Never. Free same-day tow across Cleveland and Northeast Ohio — driveway, garage, street, body shop, impound lot, apartment complex.

Is it safe to sell my car this way?

Yes. We're a licensed Ohio motor-vehicle dismantler, family-owned in Parma since 1990. Real plates on real trucks. We sign the title, hand you a junk certificate, and give you cash before we tow. No mailed checks, no holdbacks.
