Do we buy junk cars in Browns Lake?
KMK Towing & Recovery buys junk, scrap, salvage, crashed and non-running vehicles at Browns Lake, WI for cash on the spot. Pickup is free and scheduled the same day, even though the yard at 8517 W Kaul Ave is about 39 miles away. KMK has bought cars since 2014 and holds a 4.8 rating from 506 Google reviews.
Browns Lake is a census-designated place wrapped around the lake of the same name in the Town of Burlington, in the southwest corner of Racine County. The 2020 census counted 1,879 people on 2.2 square miles of land, with another 0.6 square miles of water. Politically the CDP belongs to the Town of Burlington along with Bohners Lake, with the town hall at 32288 Bushnell Road, and the City of Burlington, Chocolate City, U.S.A., sits right next door on the Fox River.
From 8517 W Kaul Ave in Milwaukee the quickest drive is about 39 miles and an hour: Silver Spring Drive to the Zoo Freeway, I-41 and US 45 south, Loomis Road onto WIS 36, down Milwaukee Avenue, around the Burlington Bypass where WIS 36 and WIS 83 share the road, then east on Durand Avenue and Fischer Drive to the lake. KMK does not charge for the distance. The free pickup and removal are already part of every quote, whatever the address.
Keith Kwitek takes the call and makes the offer. He asks for the year, make, model, whether you have the title, where the car is at Browns Lake and what condition it is in, and that is enough to give you a cash number on the phone. Keith has seen other buyers pump up a phone quote and then cut it once the truck is in the driveway. KMK's answer to that is simple. The cash you're paid at pickup is the number you heard on the call.

Why do so many cars in Browns Lake end up as junk?
Browns Lake is about 39 road miles southwest of KMK's yard and well inland from Lake Michigan, so it gets the same humid continental winter as Milwaukee minus some of the lake-effect snow that the city's shoreline catches. Milwaukee's 1991 to 2020 normals are 48.7 inches of snow a year and a January daily mean of 24 degrees, and the record low for the area is minus 26, reached on January 17, 1982 and again on February 4, 1996. Pontoons and boats leave the lake in the fall, and a car that gets left on a lake lot through that kind of winter often never runs again. KMK buys cars like that.
- Cash on the spot for a car that will not start on a Browns Lake property
- Free same-day pickup of crashed and salvage vehicles anywhere in the Town of Burlington
- Buying rusted and worn-out trucks, vans and SUVs in any condition
- Removing an unwanted vehicle before a lake home is sold, rented or closed for the season
What is the process for selling a Browns Lake junk car?
Dial (414) 391-4900 or send the offer form. Keith asks six questions and nothing more: year, make, model, title or no title, where the car is at Browns Lake and its condition. Whether the car was wrecked or has sat on a lake lot since the boat came out, those answers get you a cash offer on the same call. The offer covers the pickup and the removal. Nothing gets added once the truck arrives.
If you accept, Keith schedules the pickup, usually the same day. A KMK truck makes the drive down WIS 36 and around the Burlington Bypass, loads the car where it is, and you're paid cash on the spot. KMK buys cars and removes them as part of the sale. It does not advertise towing, roadside service or recovery work.
Can a Browns Lake car be sold without the title?
Often, yes. KMK buys without a title or a key when you can show proof that the vehicle is yours. For KMK that is the registration in your name or proof of insurance on that vehicle in your name. That is how KMK runs its own buying, and it is not a description of Wisconsin law. If the car came with a lake cottage or a relative left it behind, tell Keith on the call, and he tells you then whether he can buy it as it is.
If you want a replacement title before you sell, the Wisconsin DMV is where to start. The sell without title page on this site explains how KMK handles a no-title car. The quickest answer either way is a call to Keith.
Why sell a Browns Lake car to KMK instead of a buyer in Burlington?
Because KMK's terms are the same at Browns Lake as anywhere else it buys. The pickup is free, the payment is cash and the price holds. KMK has bought cars since March 2014, from the Kaul Ave yard since December 2014. The 506 Google reviews behind the 4.8 rating keep repeating the same things: paid cash for the vehicle, quick and easy, paid a fair value, picked up the truck, came to the property free.
KMK buys across Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington, Racine and Kenosha counties, which puts the Town of Burlington, Bohners Lake, Cedar Park and the Racine County side of the City of Burlington all inside KMK's area. The 39 miles are KMK's problem, not yours, and the number from the phone is the number you're paid.

Keith was very prompt and picking up two damage cars that were in a garage fire paid us a fair value great experience super nice guy.
Glen S. Thrilled with the prompt return phone call from the company. Received an offer at that time, and the car was picked up within a couple hours, and I received cash on the spot. So easy! I couldn't have been more happy, because the other "very reputable business" didn't show up. Thank you, again, for the quick response!
Nancy N. Keith came right on time to Grafton, money as promised, same day and fair and efficient. Car was a good one but needed far more work than it was worth. Would def do business with again, thank you Keith! Hassle free was what I needed.

Browns Lake questions
Is pickup free all the way out at Browns Lake?
Yes. Every KMK quote includes free same-day pickup and removal, and Browns Lake is covered even though it is about 39 miles from the yard. The drive is on KMK.
Do you pay cash in the Town of Burlington?
Yes. You are paid cash on the spot when the car is collected. The amount is the one Keith gave you on the phone, with no check and no renegotiation.
The car is on a lake lot behind a boat trailer and some sheds. Can you still get it?
Tell Keith where the car sits, whether it rolls and how a truck can reach it. Cars that have not moved in years are loaded as they sit. The more you describe on the call, the easier it is for Keith to plan the pickup.
I broke down near Burlington and cannot afford to tow the car home. Can you buy it at the roadside?
Call with the location, the year, make, model and what happened. If KMK wants the car, the free pickup comes with the sale and the vehicle is removed from where it sits. KMK does not advertise towing or roadside help.
Does the Browns Lake address change the offer?
The offer depends on the car. Keith prices from the six things he asks every seller: year, make, model, title or not, where the car is and its condition. Free pickup is already inside that number.
