Same-day pickup on the West Side
Instant Cash for Junk Cars picks up junk cars across Chicago's West Side, and a same-day pickup is often possible. Each neighborhood below has its own notes: the roads that divide it, the blocks where a truck needs a plan, and what to tell us so the driver finds the car on the first pass.

Neighborhood by neighborhood
Austin is one of the city's largest community areas, so the first question is always whether the car is north or south of the Eisenhower, and how close it is to the Lake Street L.
In Humboldt Park, Division Street is the heart of the neighborhood and the hardest place to stop a truck; a side-street spot makes the pickup quick.
East and West Garfield Park share one page. Pulaski and the Eisenhower are the lines we'll ask about, and in K-Town the street name alone places you.
North Lawndale has the city's largest concentration of greystones, and a car can end up in the shared lot behind one. Tell us if it's in back.
Belmont Cragin is bungalow country, which means alley garages. Tell us whether the car rolls and whether the door opens.
Hermosa is hemmed in by rail embankments, and some blocks dead-end at them. The cross street at the open end is the detail we need.
Outside these six? We pick up across Chicago and the Chicagoland suburbs, including Joliet and Aurora, and in Northwest Indiana as far as Gary. Send the car's details from cash for junk cars in Chicago and put your location in the pickup address. For cars on the block or in back, the street and alley pickup page covers the prep.
