Do we buy junk cars in Cedarburg?
KMK Towing & Recovery pays cash for junk cars in Cedarburg, from crashed and non-running cars to project cars that never got finished.

Cedarburg grew up around the gristmills and woolen mills German settlers built along Cedar Creek in the 1840s. The 1864 woolen mill is now Cedar Creek Settlement, and the stone buildings on Washington Avenue form a historic district. The city incorporated in 1885 and had 12,121 people at the 2020 census on just under 5 square miles. The Town of Cedarburg surrounds it on three sides with another 6,162 people, much of it farmland and country roads.
KMK runs from 8517 W Kaul Ave on Milwaukee's northwest side. Cedarburg is about 15 to 17 miles north, up through Mequon, usually around 25 minutes. You don't pay for the drive.
Keith answers the call himself. He asks the year, make and model, whether you have the title, where in Cedarburg the car is and what shape it's in, and he gives you a cash offer on the phone. Some buyers quote high on the call and lowball once they're in the driveway. KMK doesn't. The number Keith gives you is the cash you're handed when the car is loaded.

Why do so many cars in Cedarburg end up as junk?
Cedarburg has always had people who work on engines. Kiekhaefer Mercury, the outboard company that became Mercury Marine, had its Plant No. 1 here, and the site is now the Fox Run development. A town like that collects project cars: the restoration that stalled, the truck kept for parts, the classic that needs more than it's worth. Then there's the weather. In August 2025 the same storms that flooded Milwaukee County pushed Cedar Creek to flood stage at Cedarburg. If your car sat in that water, or just sat through too many winters, KMK buys it as is.
- Cash for stalled project cars and parts vehicles
- Free same-day pickup anywhere in the 53012 ZIP code, city or town
- Buying classic cars that cost more to restore than they're worth

How does selling a junk car in Cedarburg work?
Call (414) 391-4900 or send the offer form. Keith asks six things: year, make, model, title or no title, where the car is in Cedarburg and what condition it's in. If it's a project car, tell him what's missing. A half-finished restoration and a daily driver that died both have value, and Keith wants to know which one he's quoting. He gives you the cash offer on that call.
Say yes and Keith books the pickup the same day. A KMK truck drives up from Kaul Ave, loads the car, and you're paid cash on the spot. Removal is part of every quote, so there's no separate pickup charge. If the car is a classic, the classic car buyers page explains how KMK prices one.
Can you sell a junk car in Cedarburg without the title?
Often, yes. KMK can buy a car without a title or key when you can show it's yours. Have one of two documents: the registration in your name, or proof of insurance on that vehicle in your name. Project cars bought with a bill of sale and never titled come up a lot. If that's yours, explain it on the call.
To sort out the title first, the Wisconsin DMV is where to start. The sell without a title page explains how KMK handles a car without one. Either way, call first. Keith will tell you straight whether he can buy the car as it stands.
Why do Cedarburg owners sell to a buyer from Milwaukee?
Because the 15-mile drive is free and the price doesn't change when the truck gets there. KMK has bought cars since March 2014, from the Kaul Ave yard since December 2014. Customers say the same things in their Google reviews: paid cash for the vehicle, quick and easy, a fair value, came to the property free. That's 506 reviews and a 4.8 rating.
The same terms cover Washington Avenue, the Town of Cedarburg's farm roads and the towns around it: Grafton right next door to the east, Mequon to the south, Jackson and Germantown to the west, and Saukville to the north. No Ozaukee County surcharge. The phone price is the price.

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.
