Franksville is an unincorporated community on the west side of the Village of Caledonia in Racine County. It was its own census-designated place with 1,789 people at the 2000 census, and it became part of the newly created village on March 20, 2006. The settlers of the 1830s called the area Skunk Grove. The railroad came through in the 1870s, and the same tracks are now the Canadian Pacific C&M Subdivision. In 1907 the Frank Pure Food Company built a sauerkraut plant here, which is why the town held a Kraut Festival from 1949 to 2002 and revived it as Kraut Music Fest in 2015. Northwestern Avenue, which is WI 38, runs through the community and turns north just outside it toward Husher and the Milwaukee County line.
Of the Racine County stops along I-94, Franksville is the closest to the KMK Towing & Recovery yard at 8517 W Kaul Ave in Milwaukee. The route is about 35 miles and 49 minutes: I-41 and I-894 around the south side of Milwaukee, I-94 south past the airport and over the county line, then off at Northwestern Avenue, which is County K at the interchange before it becomes WI 38. The whole trip is on KMK. Pickup and removal are in every quote, and no part of the price comes off for the mileage.
Keith Kwitek owns KMK and gives every quote himself. Expect six questions: year, make, model, whether you hold the title, where in Franksville the car is and what condition it is in. He turns those into a cash figure on the same call. The figure is the cash you're paid when the car is loaded. Keith has seen other buyers quote high on the call and pay less in person, and that is the one thing KMK refuses to do.

Why do so many cars in Franksville end up as junk?
Franksville sits at about 728 feet, a little higher and a few miles inland from the Racine lakefront, and it gets the same winters the Racine WWTP station records: 1991 to 2020 normals of 41.0 inches of snow a year, a January mean of 22.1 degrees and a record low of minus 31. Snow falls on about six days in a typical January and more than four in February. Those are the mornings that finish off an old battery, and a car that never recovered from one is a car KMK will pay cash for.
- Cash on the spot for junk and scrap cars anywhere in Franksville and the 53126 ZIP code
- Free same-day pickup of non-running cars, trucks and SUVs from driveways, garages and rural lots
- Buying crashed and salvage vehicles that are not worth repairing
- Taking a car without a title when you can show registration or insurance in your name
Is Franksville inside KMK's pickup area?
Yes. Franksville is part of the Village of Caledonia in Racine County, and Racine County is one of the six counties KMK covers: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington, Racine and Kenosha. Keith puts it as Racine County and all southeastern Wisconsin counties. Of the Racine County stops along I-94, Franksville is the shortest run from the yard.
Being just inside the county line changes nothing about the terms. Cash on the spot, free same-day pickup and removal, and a phone price that holds at the truck. Caledonia proper, Husher, Mount Pleasant, Sturtevant and Racine are all on the same deal, and so is Oak Creek on the Milwaukee County side of the line.
What kinds of cars does KMK buy in Franksville?
Junk, scrap, salvage, crashed and non-running vehicles. That includes cars, pickups, vans and SUVs. It also includes classic vehicles in any condition, because KMK still buys those. If a car has sat in a Franksville garage or on a lot since before the last Kraut Music Fest, it is almost certainly something Keith will price.
The one kind of car KMK is not the best buyer for is a clean, running car with real market value. A private sale or a dealer will likely do better there, because a junk car buyer is not a used car dealer. For a car with a blown engine, a rusted frame, crash damage or no title, call Keith and get the number.
Do I need the title to sell a car in Franksville?
Not always. KMK can buy a car without a title or key as long as you can show the car is yours. The proof KMK accepts is the registration in your name or proof of insurance on that vehicle in your name. That is KMK's own process for its own purchases, not a summary of Wisconsin law, and Keith confirms on the call what works for your car.
If the car was inherited from a parent or left on a property you bought, say so on the call. If you cannot show ownership the way KMK needs, the Wisconsin DMV is where to ask about a replacement title. The sell without title page on this site goes through the no-title sale step by step.

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.

Franksville questions
Is Franksville in Caledonia or its own town?
Franksville is an unincorporated community inside the Village of Caledonia. It was a census-designated place until it joined the village on March 20, 2006. KMK covers it either way, on the same terms as the rest of Racine County.
How far is Franksville from your yard, and does that cost me anything?
About 35 miles and 49 minutes from Kaul Ave by I-94. It costs you nothing. Free pickup and removal are inside every KMK quote.
The car is on a rural lot off Northwestern Avenue, not in a driveway. Is that a problem?
No. Tell Keith where the car sits and how the truck can reach it. Keith plans the pickup from what you describe.
When do I get paid?
At pickup. You're paid cash on the spot when the car is loaded, and the amount is the one Keith quoted on the phone.
Do you offer towing in Franksville if I am not selling?
KMK buys cars and removes them free as part of the sale, and it does not advertise towing or roadside service. If you own the property and a vehicle that isn't yours is parked on it, ask about private property impound.
