Selling a car in Baltimore

Row-house streets in Baltimore can make towing tricky, so we send the right truck for your block.

We pick up all over Baltimore, from Fells Point and Canton to Hampden and Highlandtown. Pickup is usually within 24 to 48 hours after you accept an offer.

Winter wear doesn't scare us off

Rust holes, seized brakes and exhaust that's hanging on by a clamp are normal for cars that have spent a lot of winters on salted roads. We price the whole car, including the parts that still have value, so rust lowers the offer without ending the conversation.

Areas we cover around Baltimore

We buy cars across Baltimore City and the wider Baltimore area, including Towson, Dundalk, Glen Burnie, Columbia, Catonsville and Essex. If your car is somewhere else in Maryland, we buy it there too.

  • Dundalk

Do you buy junk cars in Baltimore?

Yes. We buy junk, wrecked and non-running cars in Baltimore and tow them for free. Most are priced on their parts and metal, plus any value left in the model.

What paperwork do I need to sell a car in Baltimore, MD?

The title and a photo ID that matches it. In Maryland, the plates don't go to the buyer. Plates stay with the seller, not the car. MVA says return them to stop insurance and registration requirements and avoid fees. For a duplicate title, Baltimore residents can go to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA).

Can I sell a junk car without a title in Baltimore?

Sometimes. A dismantler or scrap processor may accept an MVA Affidavit of Ownership instead of a title from the sole owner of record, with documents verifying ownership (COMAR 11.12.03.07; Transportation §15-507). Otherwise you'll need the title or a duplicate. To replace a lost Maryland title, apply to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) with Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title, VR-018. The fee is $40.

Can I keep a junk car at my house in Baltimore?

Baltimore Zoning Code Section 16-803 prohibits outdoor storage or maintenance of abandoned, derelict, or unlicensed (unregistered or untagged) vehicles in all districts. Report violations to 311. If you'd rather not deal with it, we tow junk cars from Baltimore for free and pay you for them.

Do you charge for towing in Baltimore?

No. Towing is free in Baltimore and everywhere else we buy. The offer you accept is the amount you're paid.
