How much will you pay for my junk car in Pontiac?
Most junk cars around Pontiac pay between $300 and $2,500 in cash. Scrap weight sets the floor — a compact pays less than a full-size truck — and demand for reusable parts sets the ceiling. Because Acme owns the yard and the tow trucks, there is no broker cut and no towing deduction, and you're paid in cash when the car is loaded.
Why sell to Acme
You're selling to the yard, not a middleman
Most 'cash for cars' websites are lead brokers who resell your call. We're the actual buyer — the crane, the parts store, and the tow trucks are all ours.
We're the end buyer
No brokers, no middlemen, no bidding your car out. We own the yard on Cesar E Chavez Ave and we part the cars ourselves, so the money that a middleman would pocket goes to you.
Our own tow trucks
We don't subcontract towing, so we don't deduct it from your offer. Free pickup anywhere within 10 miles of Pontiac, usually same day.
Family-owned since 1948
Three generations of the same family have run Acme Auto Parts in Pontiac since 1948. We're not a call center that disappears next quarter.

FAQ
Questions we get every day
How much is my junk car worth?
Most junk cars in the Pontiac area pay between $300 and $2,500. Weight sets the floor and parts demand sets the ceiling, so a complete truck or SUV pays more than a stripped-out compact. Our online form gives you an instant estimated range in about 60 seconds.
Do you really pay cash on the spot?
Yes. Our driver hands you cash when the vehicle is loaded. No mailed checks, no holds, no payment apps required.
Is towing actually free?
Yes, inside our 10-mile radius of Pontiac. We own our tow trucks, so there's no third-party towing bill to deduct from your offer.
How fast can you pick up my car?
Same day is normal if you call before mid-afternoon. Otherwise next day. We give you a time window so you're not waiting around.
Do I need a title to sell my car?
A Michigan title is the cleanest path and gets you the most money. Without one, we can often still buy the car if you can prove ownership with a matching photo ID and current registration. Duplicate titles from the Secretary of State are fast and inexpensive.
Do you buy cars that don't run?
That's most of what we buy. No-starts, blown engines, bad transmissions, wrecks, and cars that haven't moved in years are all normal for us. Don't repair anything first.
