Mass-Market Cars SELL YOUR JUNK Chevrolet IN CHICAGO
We buy Chevrolet vehicles in any condition—running, damaged, or totaled. Free pickup across Chicago. We purchase all 97 Chevrolet models for cash with free towing.
Why Chevrolet Owners Choose to Sell
Typical reasons for selling a junk Chevy include 'Transmission Slipping' in Malibus or the costly lifter and AFM issues in Silverado engines. When the repair estimate hits $4,000, selling for parts and scrap value becomes the logical choice.
Common Chevrolet Problems We Buy
These are the most frequent Chevrolet issues we see from Chicago sellers. We buy vehicles with all of these problems—and pay fair prices.
AFM / Active Fuel Management Failure
$2,500 - $5,000Silverados and Tahoes often suffer from collapsed lifters in the fuel management system, requiring a top-end engine rebuild.
Transmission Pressure Switches
$1,000 - $2,500Common in 6-speed transmissions, causing hard shifts, slipping, and eventually complete loss of drive.
Timing Chain Stretch
$1,500 - $3,000Frequent in 3.6L V6 engines (Traverse, Equinox), leading to engine timing issues and potential piston-to-valve contact.

Chevrolet junk car values depend on several factors: the specific model, year, mileage, condition, and current scrap metal prices. Parts availability and material weight affect final values.
Prices fluctuate with the market, so the best way to know your Chevrolet's value is to call for a free quote. We factor in all variables and give you a guaranteed offer on the spot.
Chevrolet in Chicago
Chevys are the backbone of the south side and suburban working families. Whether it's a Silverado on a job site in Joliet or an Equinox navigating the Dan Ryan, these vehicles are built for the Midwest—but they still fight a losing battle against Illinois road salt.
We've been buying Chevrolet vehicles across Chicago and Cook County for years. Our team knows the local market, the common problems Chevrolet owners face, and how to offer fair prices quickly. Whether you're in downtown Chicago, the North Shore, western suburbs, or anywhere in Cook County, we can pick up your Chevrolet today.
The Chevrolet Secondary Market in Chicago
The Chicago secondary market for Chevrolet vehicles is influenced by several local factors. In Cook County, there is a high demand for Chevrolet parts, particularly body panels and cooling system components that are frequently damaged during Chicago's winter "fender benders." Because Chevrolet vehicles are a common sight from the Magnificent Mile to the suburbs, there's a constant need for salvageable parts to keep other local vehicles on the road. We track the weekly fluctuations in scrap metal prices at Chicago-area processing centers to ensure our Chevrolet offers remain the most competitive in the region. Additionally, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) has strict guidelines for vehicle disposal, and our recycling process for Chevrolet cars fully complies with all local environmental regulations, ensuring that fluids and hazardous materials are handled safely.
Chevrolet Maintenance vs. Cash Buyout
One of the most common questions Chicago Chevrolet owners ask is whether they should invest in repairs or sell the vehicle for junk. With average Chevrolet repairs in the Chicago metro area ranging from $1,000-$3,500, the math often favors selling. Local labor rates in Chicago are among the highest in the Midwest, which quickly inflates the cost of even routine Chevrolet maintenance. For instance, a transmission overhaul or a major engine repair on an older Chevrolet can easily exceed 60% of the vehicle's fair market value. By choosing to junk your Chevrolet now, you avoid the "sunk cost" trap—investing thousands into a vehicle that may develop another major fault in a few months. Our instant cash offers provide a clean break and immediate capital for your next vehicle purchase.
Typical Chevrolet Repair Costs in Chicago
| Common Issue | Estimated Repair | Our Cash Offer |
|---|---|---|
| AFM / Active Fuel Management Failure | $2,500 - $5,000 | $200 - $15,000 |
| Transmission Pressure Switches | $1,000 - $2,500 | $200 - $15,000 |
| Timing Chain Stretch | $1,500 - $3,000 | $200 - $15,000 |

How We Recycle Your Chevrolet
We operate one of Chicago's most efficient automotive recycling networks, ensuring that every Chevrolet we purchase is processed with environmental responsibility.
Every Chevrolet we buy goes through a rigorous recycling process designed to maximize value and minimize waste. Beyond the primary steel and aluminum content, your Chevrolet contains specialized materials like platinum, palladium, and rhodium in the catalytic converter, as well as copper wiring and various high-grade plastics. In the Chicago salvage industry, Chevrolet vehicles are prized for their high-quality core components. We work with a network of local processors who specialize in refurbishing Chevrolet starters, alternators, and electronics. This "circular economy" approach in Chicago means your junk car isn't just waste—it's a resource that supports local jobs and provides affordable parts for other Chevrolet owners in the community.

Recent Chevrolet Buyouts in Chicago
"Last week, we assisted a customer in Glenview who was looking to sell a Chevrolet 2500 Crew Cab. The vehicle had been a reliable commuter through the Cook County area for over a decade, but a sudden transmission failure left it immobilized in a tight rear alley. Our local team arrived in Glenview within 2 hours, navigated the narrow Chicago streets with a specialized flatbed, and provided a cash payout on the spot. This is a common scenario in neighborhoods like Burnham and Bellwood, where older Chevrolet models are frequently retired due to the high cost of urban wear and tear."

Common Questions: Junking a Chevrolet in Chicago
- How much is my junk Chevrolet worth in Chicago today?
- Junk Chevrolet values in Chicago currently range from $200 to $8000. These values are determined by the current spot price of scrap steel in the Midwest, the demand for Chevrolet specific salvage parts (like headlamp assemblies or transmission cores), and the vehicle's specific configuration. Cars in Evanston or Homewood often see higher offers if they have premium trim levels or valuable catalytic converters.
- Do you buy Chevrolet vehicles that don't run?
- Absolutely. We buy non-running Chevrolet vehicles daily. Whether your Chevrolet has a seized engine, blown head gasket, or catastrophic transmission failure, we provide free towing and cash on the spot. We specialize in removing non-operational Chevrolet cars from driveways, alleys, and underground parking garages across the Chicago metro area.
- What Chevrolet models do you buy?
- We buy ALL Chevrolet models including 2500 Crew Cab, 2500 HD Extended Cab, 2500 HD Regular Cab, 3500 Crew Cab, 3500 Extended Cab, and 92 more. Any year, any condition, and any mileage. If you own a Chevrolet that is too expensive to repair, we are interested in purchasing it today for its salvage and recycling value.
- Is it really better to junk my Chevrolet than repair it?
- For most Chicago Chevrolet owners with vehicles over 12 years old, the answer is yes. Local repair costs for Chevrolet models often range from $1,000-$3,500. When a single repair bill exceeds the vehicle's residual cash value, junking the car provides the best financial return and eliminates future maintenance headaches.
- How fast can you pick up my Chevrolet in Glenview?
- We often provide same-day pickup for Chevrolet vehicles in Glenview and surrounding areas. Our dispatchers work with a fleet of local drivers to ensure fast removal. If you contact us before 1:00 PM, we can typically have a tow truck at your location by the end of the day.
What Chevrolet Sellers Say
Based on 847 verified reviews
"Called them at 9am about my dead 2006 Accord, had cash in hand by 1pm. No haggling, no games. The driver was professional and the whole thing took maybe 15 minutes once he got here."
"I was nervous about selling without a title, but they handled everything. Paid me $1,100 for my old Camry that hadn't run in two years. Exactly what they quoted on the phone."
"Third time using these guys. Always fair, always on time. This time it was my son's totaled Civic. Got $900 which was way more than the other places I called."
