Junk car pickup in Robertsdale, Hammond

Cash for Junk Cars Hammond picks up junk cars in Robertsdale, Hammond’s northernmost neighborhood, from the homes east of Wolf Lake to the shops on Indianapolis Boulevard. Send the car’s details, get an offer, and we tow it from where it sits. No charge for towing, and payment at pickup.

One thing first, because it trips people up.

Robertsdale addresses say “Whiting”

Robertsdale is part of the city of Hammond, but it uses the Whiting post office, ZIP 46394. So a Robertsdale mailing address can read “Whiting, IN,” and a map search for that address might send a driver toward Whiting itself.

When you fill in the pickup address in our form, type the street address and add either “Robertsdale, Hammond” or the ZIP 46394. That one extra phrase saves a phone call and a wrong turn.

Where Robertsdale is

Robertsdale runs north of 129th Street up to Lake Michigan. It borders the Pulaski Park area to the south, Chicago’s East Side across the state line to the west, and Whiting and East Chicago to the east.

Water takes up a lot of it. Wolf Lake and Lake George fill much of the southern half. Wolf Lake covers about 804 acres across the Illinois state line, and the Toll Road (I-90) crosses right through the middle of it. Wolf Lake Park is at 121st Street and Calumet Avenue. Near Lake George, the Lost Marsh Golf Course was built on a former slag site.

North of Wolf Lake is mostly industrial. The homes are east of the lake, and the shopping runs along Calumet Avenue and Indianapolis Boulevard. Robertsdale also has a casino on the lakeshore and the Hammond-Whiting Amtrak station.

Pickup notes for Robertsdale

• Add “Robertsdale, Hammond” or 46394 to the pickup address, as above.
• Tell us the nearest cross street off Calumet Avenue or Indianapolis Boulevard.
• Say whose property it’s on. If the car is on a business lot or an industrial site rather than at your home, sort out permission for the tow before the truck comes.
• For the driver, the Toll Road’s Indianapolis Boulevard exit is in Robertsdale, which keeps the run in short.

Not a scrap yard

People search “scrap yard Robertsdale,” so let’s be clear: we aren’t one. There’s no yard to drive to and no drop-off window. We buy junk, wrecked and scrap cars and send a tow truck to collect them. If your car won’t start, has crash damage or has been parked so long it’s rusting in place, that’s the car we want. No title? We can still help. Here in Indiana the sale needs the title or a $4 BMV certificate of authority, and we’ll sort out which fits your car on the call; the no-title page explains both.

How a Robertsdale pickup goes

1. Send the year, make, model and title status, then your name, phone and the address (with 46394).
2. We call back with an offer. Nothing is booked until you say yes.
3. We book the tow. Same-day pickup is often possible.
4. The car is signed over to us and you’re paid on the spot.
