How selling a junk car in Baltimore works

  1. Describe the car online

    Fill in a short form with the year, make and model, whether it runs, the title and when you need it gone. Add photos, the mileage and the VIN if you can, because buyers who can see the car offer a price they can stand by. There is no phone call to make and nobody to wait on hold for.

  2. Let the buyers battle

    Buyers around Baltimore who take cars from your ZIP send offers to your own offers page, each with the earliest time they can pick up. Your page shows the three who can come soonest beside the three who will pay the most, each offer shows the buyer's name and town, and you can message any of them through our site.

  3. Pick your winner and get paid

    Choose the offer that suits you, whether that is the most cash, the soonest pickup or one near the top of both, and book that buyer's time or a later one they have open. The buyer tows the car for free and pays you the full amount when they collect it.

Baltimore's 4 screened junk car buyers

4 buyers

Eastside Auto Recycling

4.4 Baltimore

Eastside Auto Recycling in East Baltimore is best known for pulling used parts for customers, and nearly everything written about it is about parts. It does buy cars, and a recent seller found the price fair and the tow driver helpful. Expect it to want a clean title, since it has told people it buys only those.

Crazy Kenny's Junk Cars

5.0 Baltimore

Crazy Kenny's is an East Baltimore junk car buyer that pays for the cars it tows, even ones that will not start. Past sellers had an old Tahoe, a car with a seized engine and a very old Volkswagen truck hauled away, and one family had a truck at the house about four hours after reaching out. One recent complaint says it towed the wrong car from a private space.

Charm City Garage Cash for Junk Vehicles

4.6 Dundalk

This small Dundalk outfit is a good fit for a dead car that just needs to go. It paid a fair price for an old Accord with a blown engine, and one recent seller had a car picked up within a day. There is not much written about it and some of that is old, and one person said the line went dead in the middle of a quote.

Erdman Auto Parts

4.3 Baltimore

Erdman Auto Parts on the east side is mostly a used parts counter, and that is what most people write about. It does buy junk cars too. A few sellers took its cash after getting a lower number from the LKQ pick-and-pull yard down the street. One person waited on a tow truck that never came.

Maryland rules

What you need to sell a junk car in Baltimore

  • PlatesYou take them off
  • Your plates stay with you, not the car, so take them off before the buyer takes it.
  • If the car will be scrapped, Maryland law says to send the plates and registration card to the MVA right away, unless you move the plates to another car.
  • Keep your car insurance active until the Maryland MVA gives you a tag return receipt.
  • On the back of the title, write the buyer's name and address, the price, the mileage and the sale date, then sign it.
  • Lost your title? Ask the Maryland MVA for a duplicate before you sell, on myMVA if your car qualifies, at a branch or by mail.
  • Federal law: if your car is a 2011 or newer, write the mileage on the title when you sign it. A 2010 or older car is exempt.

You might be wondering

How fast can a Baltimore buyer pick up my car?

Every offer says the earliest time that buyer can come, and your offers page shows the fastest pickup near the top, so the quickest Baltimore buyers are easy to spot. If you tell us you need it gone today, the list starts with the soonest pickups. You book the buyer's time or a later one they have open, up to a week ahead, so you can pick the time that suits you.

Can I call the Baltimore buyers listed here?

We don't list their phone numbers. Enter your ZIP and the buyers who cover it send offers to your offers page, so you compare prices side by side instead of calling yard after yard. Once you pick one, calls go through our number, so neither side's number is handed out.

What do I need to sell a junk car in Maryland?

Your plates stay with you, not the car, so take them off before the buyer takes it. If the car will be scrapped, Maryland law says to send the plates and registration card to the MVA right away, unless you move the plates to another car. Keep your car insurance active until the Maryland MVA gives you a tag return receipt. On the back of the title, write the buyer's name and address, the price, the mileage and the sale date, then sign it. Lost your title? Ask the Maryland MVA for a duplicate before you sell, on myMVA if your car qualifies, at a branch or by mail. If you can't find the title, say so on the form and message buyers before you choose, because some can still take the car.

How does BeaterBoss work?

Tell us about your car, your ZIP code and when you need it gone. Screened local junk car buyers send cash offers, and each one says the earliest time that buyer can pick up. Your offers page shows the top offer and the fastest pickup up front, and you pick the buyer you want.

What do Top, Fastest and Best of both mean?

Top is the biggest offer on your car. Fastest is the buyer who can pick it up soonest. Best of both marks an offer that is among the three biggest and the three soonest at once. They only point things out, so you can still choose any offer you like.

Do I need photos, the mileage or the VIN?

No, but the more you add, the more accurate your offers. Buyers price a car from what they can see, so photos of the front, the back, the dashboard showing the mileage (with the engine running, if it runs), the inside, any damage and the VIN plate let them offer a price they can stand by when they arrive. The VIN is on the dashboard by the windshield, or on the driver's door frame. Please don't add a photo of the title: it shows your address.

Is it free for sellers?

Yes. It costs you nothing to get offers or sell. Buyers pay us a fee only when they win your car, and it is on top of their offer, never taken out of it.

Will I get a lot of phone calls?

No. Offers arrive on your own offers page and we text you when they do. Buyers never get your phone number, not even the one you choose: calls go through our number.

Can I sell my car without a title?

Often, yes. Many buyers accept cars without a title if you can show ID and proof of ownership. Rules vary by state, and the offer may be lower.

What if the buyer lowers the price at pickup?

You can say no. The offer you accepted is the price. Tell us on your offers page and we will step in.

Why isn't a Baltimore business I found on Google listed?

It may not have met our bar, which is a 4.0 or better Google rating, usually from at least 10 reviews, and signs that the business actually buys vehicles. We also leave out call centers and listings named after search keywords.

Why are some buyers shown first?

Buyers who make offers through BeaterBoss are shown first, because you can get their price here without a phone call. They pay us a fee only when you pick them and they pick up the car; you never pay anything. Everyone else is shown in a different order on every visit, so no one is stuck at the top or the bottom.
