How does same-day junk car pickup work in Garfield Park?
Send the car’s year, make, model and title status, then where it’s parked in East or West Garfield Park. We call within 15 minutes with an offer and a time, often the same day. At the curb, the paperwork is checked, you’re paid at pickup, and the car is towed away for free.
Two community areas, one park
Garfield Park is really two Chicago community areas that share a name and a park.
East Garfield Park runs from Rockwell Street west to Hamlin Avenue and Independence Boulevard, between the Union Pacific tracks on the north and Arthington and Taylor Streets on the south. Garfield Park itself is here, along with the Garfield Park Conservatory, one of the largest conservatories in the United States. The Eisenhower passes through the southern part, and a shopping strip grew up on Madison Street around Kedzie.
West Garfield Park picks up from there. Pulaski is its spine: there’s a Green Line station on the elevated at Pulaski, a Blue Line station in the Eisenhower median at Pulaski, and a regional shopping area at Madison and Pulaski. It’s also part of K-Town, the stretch where the north-south streets between Pulaski and Cicero all start with K: Keeler, Kildare, Kostner and the rest.
Pickup notes for Garfield Park blocks
- Say which side of the Eisenhower you’re on. North or south changes how the truck gets to you.
- Say east or west of Pulaski. In West Garfield Park, a K-street name tells us almost exactly where you are.
- Near the Conservatory and the park, give the street, not the landmark. The park is big, and the driver needs a curb, not a building.
- Near the Madison and Pulaski shops, pick a residential side street if the car can be there. Store lots belong to the stores.
- Cars parked under the Green Line on the Lake Street side: tell us, because the elevated columns decide where a truck can stop.

How payment works on the day
The money comes at pickup, when the driver collects the car. It’s worth settling the details on the call: the amount, which payment you’d like, and what would change the number at the curb (a car that doesn’t match what you described, mostly). Our guide on how you get paid for a junk car goes through it step by step.

Questions people ask
Do you cover both East and West Garfield Park?
Yes. They're two separate community areas, and we pick up in both. Just tell us which one, or give us the cross street.
How will I be paid?
Payment is the last stop before the car departs: it's settled at the curb as the car is collected. Our guide on how you get paid for a junk car covers what to settle before the truck arrives.
I live near the Conservatory. Is that enough of an address?
It helps us picture the area, but the driver needs the street and the nearest cross street. The park and the Conservatory cover a lot of ground.
