Access problems we solve every week
A car that has not moved in years usually has seized brakes and flat tires. Our drivers carry skates, a winch line and dollies, so a vehicle can come off a lawn, out of a detached garage, or from behind another car. Tight Utica streets near Jimmy John's Field and downtown Utica sometimes need a scheduled window so nobody blocks traffic — we set that up in advance.
- No keys, no problem
- Flat or missing tires — we use dollies
- Garage, carport, backyard or alley access
- Apartment and condo lots with permission from management

Junk car removal questions from Utica sellers
Is junk car removal really free in Utica?
Yes — removal is quoted upfront and never deducted after the fact, 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 Utica address.
