Cash For Junk Cars Cleveland Ohio1. Find the Ohio Title
Look for the certificate of title in your name. If it is lost or an old lien still shows on it, go to a Cuyahoga County title office with BMV form 3774 and a photo ID; the downtown office is at 2079 E. 9th St. and the state duplicate fee is $15. This is the one step that cannot be skipped in Ohio.
2. Get a Quote That Is Actually a Quote
Call (216) 877-5003 with the year, make, model, whether it runs, whether the engine, transmission and converter are in it, and where it is parked. You hear a number for that car. Ask whether the tow is included and whether the price holds if the car matches your description. Ours does on both counts.
3. Book the Tow
Pick a window. Same day is common inside Cleveland and the inner suburbs like Lakewood, Parma and Garfield Heights; Strongsville, Solon and North Olmsted usually run a day or two out. Tell the dispatcher if the car is in a garage, behind a house, or frozen in, so the right truck shows up.
4. Prep the Car
Take the plates off, clear out the glove box and trunk, and find the keys if you have them. You do not need to inflate the tires, charge the battery, or move the car. The driver brings a winch and skates.
5. Sign and Get Paid
The driver checks the VIN on the dash against the title and looks at your ID. You sign the title over, you get paid, and the car goes on the flatbed. Cancel the insurance afterward. The whole curbside part takes about fifteen minutes.
