Got an old car sitting in your driveway or garage that you don't want anymore? Maybe it doesn't run, costs too much to fix, or you just want it gone so you can use the space. At NimbleLift Kettering Towing, we remove junk cars quickly and handle all the heavy lifting. One call and your unwanted vehicle is out of your life for good.
Why Remove Your Junk Car
That old car sitting in your yard might not seem like a big deal, but it causes more problems than you think. Here's why getting rid of it makes sense:
- •Frees up space - Use your driveway, garage, or yard for something useful
- •Eliminates eyesores - Old cars look bad and can bring down your property's appearance
- •Avoids code violations - Some neighborhoods and cities have rules against keeping junk vehicles
- •Prevents environmental issues - Leaking fluids, rusting metal, and old batteries contaminate soil and groundwater
- •Stops ongoing costs - No more registration fees, insurance, or property taxes on a car you don't use
What Counts as a Junk Car
People call us to remove all kinds of vehicles. You don't need a perfectly crushed wreck for us to help. We handle cars in any condition. Here are common examples we see in Kettering every week:
Cars that don't run anymore. Maybe the engine seized, the transmission died, or it has electrical problems that cost more to fix than the car is worth. Vehicles with extensive body damage from accidents or rust. Even if the car technically runs, it might not be safe or legal to drive. Old project cars that never got finished. You had plans to restore it, but life got busy and now it's just taking up space.
We also remove vehicles that have been sitting too long. Tires go flat, batteries die, and engines lock up when a car sits unused for months or years. Even if you're not sure whether your vehicle qualifies as junk, give us a call. If it needs to go, we can take it. Looking for help with a running vehicle? Check out our flatbed towing services.
How the Removal Process Works
Removing a junk car is simple. You call us and describe the vehicle. We ask a few questions: Does it have wheels? Is it accessible for our truck? Do you have the title? Based on your answers, we give you a quote and schedule a pickup time that works for you.
When we arrive, we handle everything. If the car rolls, we load it onto our truck. If the wheels are locked or missing, we use a winch to pull it up. It usually takes 20 to 30 minutes from start to finish. You hand us the title, we load the car, and we're gone. Your driveway or yard is clear again.
We take the vehicle to a local salvage yard where it gets recycled properly. The metal gets melted down and reused, fluids are drained and disposed of safely, and usable parts might get salvaged for other vehicles. It's better for the environment than letting the car sit and deteriorate. Need roadside assistance for a working car instead? We do that too.
What You Need to Know
In most cases, you need the title to your vehicle for us to remove it. The title proves you own the car and gives us legal permission to take it. If you've lost your title, you can request a replacement from the Ohio BMV. It takes a few days but it's straightforward.
Some people ask about payment for junk cars. We're a towing service, not a junk buyer, so we charge for removal rather than paying you for the car. However, our pricing is fair and transparent. If you want to sell your junk car for cash, there are scrap buyers in the Kettering area who might pay you, but they'll often require you to deliver the car to them. We come to you and handle the removal, saving you the hassle.
