Question 1

How much will you pay for my junk car?

Accepted Answer

We offer competitive cash for junk vehicles, with payouts reaching up to $1,000, depending on the vehicle's condition, make, and model. A vehicle that is complete — still has its engine, transmission, catalytic converter and rims — is worth more than one that has been stripped. We evaluate each car individually to provide you with the best offer, so call us for a figure on yours.

Question 2

Do I need a title to sell my junk car?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a title is required to sell a junk car for cash. However, if you don't have one, we can guide you on how to obtain a duplicate title from your local Michigan Secretary of State office.

Question 3

Can I sell a junk car that doesn't run?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We specialize in cash for junk cars near you and will buy cars in any condition, including those that no longer run. Our team handles vehicles that are damaged, salvaged, or have mechanical issues such as a bad engine or a failed transmission.

Question 4

Do I have to pay for pick-up?

Accepted Answer

No, pick-up is absolutely free. Our cash for junk cars service includes free towing for every vehicle we purchase, regardless of location within our service area. We do not offer towing as a standalone service.

Question 5

When can you pick up my junk car?

Accepted Answer

Our goal is to provide junk car removal near you within an hour of your call. With multiple tow trucks in our fleet, we work to ensure quick and reliable pick-up for every customer.

Question 6

How do I sell my junk car for cash?

Accepted Answer

Selling your junk car to Hollywood Auto is easy. Simply call us or fill out our online form with details about your car. We'll provide a free quote and arrange for junk car pick-up if you accept our offer. You'll get cash for junk cars in hand as soon as we arrive to collect your vehicle.

Question 7

What types of cars can I sell for cash?

Accepted Answer

We accept all types of vehicles for cash for junk cars in Detroit, Warren, and beyond. From cars and trucks to vans, SUVs, and commercial vehicles, we buy them all, regardless of condition.

Question 8

What paperwork do I need to sell a junk car in Michigan?

Accepted Answer

Two things: the vehicle title, and a photo ID that matches the name on it. That is all we need to complete the sale. If the title is missing, you can get a duplicate from your local Michigan Secretary of State office before we collect the vehicle.

Question 9

Should I remove my license plates before the car is picked up?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In Michigan the plates belong to you, not to the vehicle, so take them off before we collect it. It is also worth going through the glovebox, under the seats and the trunk for personal belongings, since the car leaves with us once the sale is done.

Question 10

Do I need to cancel my insurance and registration after selling?

Accepted Answer

Once the sale is complete and the vehicle has been collected, contact your insurer to cancel the policy on that vehicle. Keep your copy of the paperwork from the sale for your records. Your local Michigan Secretary of State office can confirm anything you need to file on your end.

Question 11

Do you buy cars that are missing the catalytic converter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, though it affects the offer. The catalytic converter is one of the more valuable parts on a junk vehicle, so a car that still has it is worth more. The same goes for the engine, transmission and aluminum rims. Tell us what is missing when you call and we will quote accordingly — we would rather give you an accurate number up front.

Question 12

What happens to my car after you buy it?

Accepted Answer

We recycle junk cars responsibly, ensuring that all usable parts and materials are reused or safely disposed of. Old vehicles contain hazardous fluids that can leak into the soil and water supply if they are not handled properly, so disposing of them correctly matters.

Question 13

How do I get a duplicate title for my junk car?
