Sell your junk car in
West Allis — cash on the spot
The yard is a few minutes east of you, off National Avenue. That's why same-day here is a routine booking rather than a favor — and why the alley behind your garage isn't the obstacle other companies make it into.
- ✓Cash counted out when the car loads, not mailed01
- ✓Free flatbed across all three ZIPs02
- ✓Alley and tight-street pickups as standard03

How selling us your
West Allis car works
Quote, pickup, cash. The only thing that ever complicates it is where the vehicle is standing — which is why step one asks.
Give us the car and the cross streets
Year, make and model, plus whether the converter, wheels and battery are still on it. The VIN sharpens the figure if you can reach it. Cross streets matter here more than a house number, because they tell dispatch whether this is a curb job or an alley job.
The right truck gets sent the first time
Accept the figure and a pickup is scheduled, usually the same day. If the vehicle is behind a garage or in a shared alley, the crew brings wheel dollies and a winch rather than turning up with a truck that cannot reach it.
Cash at the curb when it loads
The driver checks the car against your description, the paperwork is signed there, and you're paid in cash before the flatbed pulls away. Nothing is deducted for the tow, the alley, or the fact that the vehicle hasn't started in years.
The West Allis ZIPs
and blocks we reach
All three, and the towing is inside the offer in every one of them rather than an add-on billed back afterwards. Give us the corner you're nearest and you'll get a window. The reference points most people give: Six Points (Greenfield, National and S 60th), the National and Greenfield corridors, South 76th Street, and Highway 100 at Beloit Road.

Closest to the yard
The oldest and densest part of the city, and the ZIP that generates most of the alley work on this page. Blocks here were platted narrow, with a service alley behind every row and a garage at the back of each lot.

Toward Lincoln & Oklahoma
The residential grid running down toward Lincoln and Oklahoma Avenues. A mix of alley-served blocks and streets with room on the apron — worth saying which yours is when you get in touch.

Out to Highway 100
Out past South 108th Street toward Beloit Road and the State Fair grounds. Later platting means wider lots and easier loads — the most straightforward pickups in the city, and still the same free tow.
On the block
Alley and tight-street
pickups
West Allis grew as a factory town around Allis-Chalmers, and it was laid out to match: narrow lots, close-set bungalows, and a service alley behind every row. A lot of dead cars end up back there. We move the car, not the truck — wheel dollies slide under a vehicle with flat tires, seized brakes and no keys, and the winch walks it out to the flatbed waiting on the cross street.
The obstacle
A flatbed can't always swing in
An alley sized for a 1920s coupe doesn't give a full-size deck truck room to enter, turn, or line up on a car. That's the call that ends in "sorry, can't reach it" — normally after the truck has already made the trip.
The answer
Move the car, not the truck
Wheel dollies slide under a vehicle with flat tires, seized brakes and no keys, and the winch does the pulling. The car is walked out to the truck along the alley rather than the truck being forced down it.
What you do
Say it's an alley spot
That's the entire ask. One sentence on the first call and the dollies are already loaded when the crew sets off. It changes the kit, never the figure — there is no surcharge for a difficult position.
Why this is one of
our quickest cities
Three things line up here that don't line up everywhere, and together they're the reason a call before lunch usually means the car is gone by evening. None of it is a promise about your particular vehicle — tell dispatch your street and you'll be told where you fall in the day's West Allis run, honestly, before you commit.
It's close
From the yard it's a short local route out National Avenue or a quick hop on I-894 — no cross-metro traffic to fight through before the work starts.
It's dense
More households per block than anywhere further out. When several calls come off the same streets they become back-to-back stops instead of three separate trips.
It's an older fleet
Aging sedans, trucks and work vans in numbers, and every winter finishes a few more of them off. There is always a run going that way.
What a West Allis
junk car pays
Estimated spans by body type, with the free tow already inside the figures — never billed back afterwards. What you're quoted is what you get: not that number minus a tow, minus a distance charge, minus an alley fee.

What sets your figure
Year, make and model. Mostly a proxy for the other three — what the vehicle weighs, what it was built with, and which parts are worth pulling before what's left goes for metal.
Curb weight. The floor under everything. More vehicle means more recoverable steel and aluminum, which is why a full-size work van outpays a compact even when the compact is in better shape.
Condition and completeness. The factor that moves most. Converter, wheels, battery, alternator, starter, drivetrain — each still attached is credited, each missing is deducted. An intact converter alone is 15–40% of a typical car's scrap value. Rust and body damage barely register by comparison.
The day's scrap index. Steel, aluminum and copper are priced daily and the outlets buying them move with the market — the reason a quote has a short shelf life. West Allis cars often price a touch above the metro average: older bungalow blocks hold complete, unparted vehicles, and a former factory town keeps heavy work vans in numbers.
West Allis on the map
West Allis is one stop on a map that runs about forty miles out from the yard, all of it on identical terms. What changes with distance is how soon a flatbed reaches you — nothing else. On a border street and unsure which city you're in? It makes no difference to the price or the tow; give dispatch the cross streets and the routing sorts itself out.
West Allis junk
car questions
Five that come up on calls from these blocks in particular.
Every question we get asked →We don't put the truck in the alley — the flatbed waits on the cross street and wheel dollies plus a winch walk the car out to it. An alley sized for a 1920s coupe is exactly the situation this is built for, and it's the most common West Allis pickup we do.
Typically $200 to $2,500 depending on the vehicle — and West Allis cars often sit a little above the metro average, because the older bungalow blocks hold complete, unparted vehicles and a former factory town keeps heavy work vans in numbers.
Usually, yes. Wisconsin routes a replacement title through the registered owner, so whose name it's in is the first question. Raise it on the first call and we'll tell you what to have ready before the truck arrives.
Yes, across all three ZIPs, and it's inside the offer rather than billed back. Nothing is deducted for the tow, the distance, the alley, or the flat tires — what you're quoted is what's counted into your hand.
Not at all. The price comes from the vehicle, not the postcode, and the tow is free either way. Give dispatch the cross streets and the routing sorts itself out.
