Do we buy junk cars in Franklin?
KMK Towing & Recovery pays cash for junk cars in Franklin, plus old pickups, farm trucks, crashed cars and anything that won't start. KMK has bought cars since 2014 and holds a 4.8 rating from 506 Google reviews. Pickup is free and scheduled the same day, and the price Keith quotes on the phone is the price you're paid.
Franklin was named for Benjamin Franklin when the town was set up in 1839, and it stayed rural for more than a hundred years. On August 15, 1956, worried that Milwaukee would annex its land, it became a city, the second to do it under the law Oak Creek had used the year before. Franklin had 36,816 people at the 2020 census on about 34.7 square miles. That's the second-largest land area in Milwaukee County and the most undeveloped open space of any city in it. The Root River runs south through the middle.
KMK runs from 8517 W Kaul Ave on Milwaukee's northwest side. A Franklin pickup is roughly 20 to 22 miles south, about 30 minutes, most of it on I-41 through the Zoo Interchange and past the Hale Interchange. You don't pay for the drive.
Keith takes the call himself. He'll want the year, make and model, whether you have the title, where in Franklin the vehicle is and what shape it's in. On a rural lot, he'll also ask what the ground is like. Then he gives you a cash offer on the phone. Other buyers quote high on the call and come in low once they see the truck. KMK doesn't. The number Keith gives you is the cash you get when it's loaded.

Why do so many vehicles in Franklin end up as junk?
Franklin has more open land than any other city in the county, and open land collects vehicles. An old truck gets parked by the pole barn when the new one shows up. A car that hit a deer on a dark stretch of road gets pushed behind the garage until someone has time for it. Those vehicles sit through one Wisconsin winter after another, and rust does the rest. In August 2025 the Root River also flooded roads in Franklin during the same storms that hit the rest of the county. KMK buys all of it as it sits, flat tires included.

How does selling a junk car in Franklin work?
Call (414) 391-4900 or send the offer form. Keith asks six things: year, make, model, title or no title, where the vehicle is in Franklin and what condition it's in. Be upfront. A truck that hasn't moved since 2015 and a car with a smashed front end are both worth money, and Keith needs to know which one he's quoting. You get a cash offer on the call.
If you take it, Keith schedules the pickup the same day. A KMK truck comes down from Kaul Ave, loads the vehicle and you're paid cash on the spot. Removal is part of every quote, so a long gravel driveway doesn't cost you extra. For a vehicle that's mostly rust, the scrap car for cash page explains what KMK looks at.
Can you sell a junk car in Franklin without the title?
Often, yes. KMK can buy a vehicle without a title or key when you can show it's yours, usually with the registration in your name or proof of insurance on that vehicle in your name. Old farm trucks are the tricky ones, since some haven't been registered in years. If that's your situation, call and explain it. Keith will tell you what he needs.
To replace a title first, start with the Wisconsin DMV. The sell without a title page covers how KMK handles a vehicle without one. Either way, the call comes first, and Keith will tell you straight whether he can buy it as it stands.
Why do Franklin owners call a buyer from the north side?
Because a 20-mile drive costs you nothing and the price doesn't change when the truck pulls in. KMK has bought cars since March 2014, from the Kaul Ave yard since December 2014. In their Google reviews, customers mention cash paid for the vehicle, a quick and easy pickup, a fair value and no charge to come to the property. That's 506 reviews and a 4.8 rating.
The same terms apply from Ballpark Commons to the farm roads south of Ryan Road and into the towns around Franklin: Oak Creek to the east, Greendale, Hales Corners and Greenfield to the north, Muskego to the west, and Caledonia and Franksville to the south in Racine County. No Franklin 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.

Franklin questions
Do you really pick up for free in Franklin?
Yes. Every KMK quote includes free same-day pickup and removal in Franklin, including the rural south end. The drive from Kaul Ave is about 30 minutes, and it's on KMK.
Do you pay cash in Franklin?
Yes. You're paid in cash on the spot when the vehicle is loaded, at the amount Keith quoted.
My truck is parked behind a barn on gravel. Can your truck get to it?
Usually. Tell Keith what the ground is like, gravel, grass or mud, and how far the vehicle is from the road. If a truck can't reach it safely that day, Keith will tell you on the phone, not after a truck shows up.
Do you buy project and classic cars in Franklin?
Yes. A restoration that never got finished, or a classic that needs more than it's worth, still gets a cash offer. The classic car buyers page has the details.
Is the Franklin price the same as a Milwaukee price?
Yes. KMK prices the vehicle, not the location. A truck on a farm road in 53132 gets the same offer it would get in the city.
