How does same-day junk car pickup work in Belmont Cragin?

Four neighborhoods, one community area
Belmont Cragin takes in four neighborhoods: Belmont Central, Cragin, Hanson Park and the Brickyard. Belmont Central’s shopping district grew up along Belmont Avenue in the 1920s. The Brickyard is named for the Carey Brickyard, which became a mall in 1977 at Narragansett and Diversey. The mall was torn down in 2003, and big-box stores and a strip mall replaced it.
Riis Park, designed by Alfred Caldwell, is here too. So is Metra’s Grand/Cicero station on the Milwaukee District West Line, which replaced the old LeClaire stop in 2006.
Most of the housing is bungalows, Cape Cods and two-flats. That’s the detail that matters for a pickup.
Pickup notes for Belmont Cragin blocks
A bungalow block usually means a detached garage on the alley, and that’s where a lot of cars that stopped running end up.
- Can the car roll out of the garage? If it rolls on its own tires, say so. If a wheel is locked or a tire is flat, say that too.
- Does the garage door open? Open it before the truck arrives, or have someone with the opener there.
- Near the Brickyard stores or the Belmont Avenue shops, give us a residential side street rather than a store lot.
- Near Riis Park or the Grand/Cicero station, name the nearest cross street. Landmarks help us picture it, but the driver needs a curb.
The full checklist for street and alley pickups is on the street and alley pickup page.
At the curb
When the truck gets there, it goes in a set order: the driver confirms the car and the spot, checks that the car matches what you described, looks over the title and your ID, pays you, and then you sign the title over and the car is loaded. What happens when your junk car is picked up explains each step and what can slow it down.
Belmont Cragin is one stop on the line. Start from cash for junk cars in Chicago, or see the other West Side neighborhoods.
Questions people ask
The car is in our garage off the alley. Can you get it out?
Tell us whether the car can roll out on its own tires and whether the garage door opens. If it can roll, it's usually a simple alley pickup.
Can you pick up from the Brickyard parking lot?
Store lots belong to the stores. If you can, give us a residential side street near the Brickyard instead.
What happens when the driver arrives?
The driver checks the car against what you told us, checks the paperwork, pays you and loads the car. Here's the full sequence.
