Junk Car Removal

When this service may be appropriate

Junk-car removal begins as an owner-authorized removal or transport inquiry—not a guaranteed vehicle purchase. Dispatch must confirm ownership authority, title and lien status, vehicle identity and completeness, hazards, access, destination or buyer workflow, current equipment, and the complete price or offer before any assignment.

• An unwanted, damaged, non-running, high-mileage, salvage, or end-of-life passenger vehicle that the titled owner or authorized agent may lawfully release
• A vehicle that needs transport to an authorized repairer, recycler, salvage facility, purchaser, or other destination prepared to accept it
• A private-property vehicle whose titled owner has requested removal and whose ownership documents, keys, access, and destination can be verified
• A potential purchase inquiry that can be referred to a properly authorized buyer after the VIN, title brand, lien status, condition, completeness, location, and seller authority are reviewed

What to tell dispatch

• The titled owner's name and contact information, the requester's authority, vehicle location, destination or proposed buyer, and any property-owner access instructions
• Year, make, model, VIN, plate, title state, title brand, physical title availability, lien or lien-release status, and every owner's required signature or power of attorney
• Whether the vehicle starts, runs, drives, rolls, steers, brakes, shifts into neutral, has keys, and has complete wheels, tires, suspension, drivetrain, catalytic converter, battery, and major body parts
• Known crash, fire, flood, biohazard, infestation, broken glass, leaking fuel or fluid, exposed wiring, loose parts, unstable load, or high-voltage battery condition
• Pickup surface, slope, garage or gate clearance, blocked access, soft ground, traffic exposure, wheel position, parking brake status, and room for loading equipment
• Wide photographs, odometer reading when required, requested timing, storage or code-enforcement deadline, and the receiving facility's current acceptance, appointment, and document rules

Price and service limits

Removal, transport, and any purchase offer are job-specific. Vehicle condition, completeness, title and lien status, location, mileage, access, loading, destination, market or recycling value, environmental handling, waiting, and required equipment can affect the result. No free removal, guaranteed cash amount, instant purchase, or universal towing price is promised online.

• Tommy's is not presented online as a licensed motor-vehicle dealer, salvage dealer, dismantler, scrap-metal operator, recycler, title agent, municipal abandoned-property contractor, or guaranteed purchaser
• A request does not establish ownership, clear title, lien release, authority to sell, authority to enter property, destination acceptance, or eligibility for a salvage title or junking certificate
• Voluntary owner-authorized removal is different from an abandoned-vehicle, private-property impound, police-directed, lien, landlord, estate, divorce, repossession, or municipal code-enforcement process
• Do not sign, erase, alter, or surrender a title, bill of sale, power of attorney, lien release, or other ownership document until the exact buyer or receiving party and required state procedure are confirmed
• Burned, flooded, contaminated, biohazard, dismantled, blocked, locked, immobile, unusually heavy, incomplete, or battery-damaged vehicles may require specialized handling or may not be accepted
• No vehicle value, cash offer, purchase, title acceptance, lien resolution, environmental processing, same-day pickup, destination acceptance, or current equipment is guaranteed online
• The customer remains responsible for accurate ownership, odometer, title-brand, lien, condition, and seller disclosures and for following the current Missouri, Kansas, or other applicable transfer rules
