Junk car removal questions from Drayton Plains sellers
Is junk car removal really free in Drayton Plains?
Yes — removal is free (you are inside our 10-mile radius), and it is not deducted from your offer. We make our money dismantling the vehicle, not charging for the tow.
How much notice do you need?
Often none. Same-day removal is common when you call before mid-afternoon; otherwise the next morning.
The car has no keys and won't roll.
Normal. The driver winches it onto the flatbed or uses dollies. Nothing needs to start, steer or stop.
Do I have to be home?
Someone authorized needs to sign the title and take the cash. Beyond that, the removal itself takes about 15 minutes at your Drayton Plains address.
