Junk car pickup in Woodmar

Cash for Junk Cars Hammond picks up junk cars in Woodmar, the neighborhood between Columbia and Kennedy Avenues that’s home to Purdue University Northwest’s Hammond campus. Send the car’s details, hear the offer, and we tow it from where it sits. The truck comes free of charge, and the payment comes with it.

Where Woodmar is

Woodmar sits between Columbia Avenue on the west and Kennedy Avenue on the east. There’s industrial land along US 20 to the north, and the town of Highland lies to the south.

It’s mostly a neighborhood of houses, many of them large single-family homes built in the 1920s. It was also the site of the old Woodmar Mall, and today it’s where Purdue University Northwest has its Hammond campus.

Pickup notes for Woodmar

Older houses and a college campus make for two kinds of pickups here.

At a house. Tell us where on the lot the car is. On a street of older homes, that could be a detached garage at the back, a narrow side drive or the curb out front. Three questions help the driver most:

• Does the garage open onto an alley or onto the driveway?
• Is the drive wide enough to back a truck part of the way in, or should the car be pulled out to the street?
• Does the car roll, and do the tires hold air?

Near campus. If the car is parked on a street near PNW or in a lot, tell us exactly where, and whose lot it is. If it’s not your property, get permission for the tow before the truck arrives. And make sure the car is yours to sell: Indiana needs the title or a BMV certificate of authority for the sale, so tell us what papers you have.

What we buy in Woodmar

Junk, wrecked and scrap cars, including:

• cars that won’t start (see selling a Hammond car that won’t start);
• cars with crash damage;
• cars that have sat in a garage for years;
• cars without a title. 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.

We don’t buy running used cars for resale.

How a Woodmar pickup goes

1. Send the year, make, model and title status, then your name, phone and address.
2. We call back with an offer, and nothing is booked until you say yes.
3. We book the tow. Same-day pickup is often possible.
4. You sign the paperwork, and payment comes with the pickup.

Before the truck comes, take out everything that’s yours and remove the plates.

Questions

Do you pick up in Woodmar?

Yes. We pick up junk cars across Woodmar, from the blocks near Purdue Northwest to the Highland line. We don't charge for the tow, and payment is made at pickup.

The car is in a detached garage behind the house. Is that a problem?

Not usually, but tell us. Say whether the garage opens onto an alley or a driveway, and whether the car rolls, so the driver can plan how to pull it out.

I'm a student and the car is near campus. Can you still pick it up?

Yes, as long as the car is yours to sell and you can meet the driver. Tell us exactly where it's parked and whose property it's on.
