KMK Towing & Recovery flatbed picking up a junk car for cash in Mequon, WI

Do we buy junk cars in Mequon?

KMK Towing & Recovery pays cash for junk cars across Mequon, including scrap, salvage, crashed and non-running vehicles, and cars that have been stored for years. 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 you hear on the phone is the price you get.

Mequon is the largest city in Ozaukee County, with 25,142 people at the 2020 census. It covers about 48.8 square miles, from Lake Michigan west to the Washington County line, and wraps all the way around the Village of Thiensville. About half that land is still undeveloped or farmed. German settlers began arriving in 1839, and on May 23, 1957, residents voted 1,536 to 265 to become a city and keep Milwaukee from annexing them.

KMK runs from 8517 W Kaul Ave on Milwaukee's northwest side. Mequon starts at County Line Road, only a few miles north of the yard, so most pickups are 6 to 15 miles and 15 to 25 minutes, depending on which end of the city the car is in. The drive is free either way.

Keith takes the call himself. He asks the year, make and model, whether you have the title, where in Mequon the car is and what condition it's in. If it's in a barn or at the end of a long driveway, he'll ask about that too. Then he gives you a cash offer on the phone. Keith has seen buyers quote high on the call and lowball in person. KMK doesn't. The number he gives you is the cash you're paid when the car is loaded.

Why do so many cars in Mequon end up as junk?

Half of Mequon is open land, and open land has room for cars nobody drives anymore. There's the old truck that used to plow the driveway, and the car that went into the barn when its owner stopped driving and never came out. On a big lot, a dead car doesn't bother anyone, so it stays put until there's a reason to move it, which is usually a house sale or an estate. By then the tires are flat, the battery is gone and the brakes have seized. KMK buys it in that condition.

  • Cash for cars stored in barns, sheds and outbuildings
  • Free same-day pickup anywhere in the 53092 and 53097 ZIP codes
  • Buying classic and collector cars that aren't worth restoring
  • Clearing vehicles out during an estate or home sale

How does selling a junk car in Mequon work?

Call (414) 391-4900 or use the offer form. Keith asks six things: year, make, model, title or no title, where the car is in Mequon and what condition it's in. Give him the honest version. A car that's been under a tarp for ten years and one that was just in a fender bender both have value, and Keith wants to know which one he's sending a truck for. You get the cash offer on that call.

Accept and Keith schedules the pickup the same day. A KMK truck heads up from Kaul Ave, loads the car and pays you cash on the spot. Removal is in every quote, so a long driveway or a tight barn door doesn't change the price. If the car is a classic, the classic car buyers page explains how KMK makes an offer on one.

Can you sell a junk car in Mequon without the title?

Often, yes. KMK can buy a car without a title or key if you can show it's yours: the registration in your name, or proof of insurance on that vehicle in your name. Stored cars are where titles go missing most, tucked in a file somewhere or lost years ago. If that's your situation, or the car belonged to someone else in the family, say so on the call.

To replace a title before selling, start with the Wisconsin DMV. The sell without a title page explains how KMK buys cars without one. Either way, start with the call. Keith will tell you directly whether he can buy the car as it stands.

Why do Mequon drivers sell to a Milwaukee buyer?

Because the yard is a few miles south and the price holds at the curb. KMK has bought cars since March 2014, from the Kaul Ave yard since December 2014. In Google reviews, customers bring up the same points: paid cash for the vehicle, quick and easy, a fair value, picked up at the property for free. That's 506 reviews and a 4.8 rating.

The same terms apply from Lake Shore Drive to the west end farm roads and into the towns nearby: Thiensville in the middle of Mequon, Cedarburg and Grafton to the north, Germantown to the west, and the North Shore suburbs to the south. 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!

Mequon questions

Do you pick up for free in Mequon even though it's in Ozaukee County?

Yes. Every KMK quote includes free same-day pickup and removal in Mequon. The city starts a few miles north of the Kaul Ave yard, so it's one of the shorter drives KMK makes.

Do you pay cash in Mequon?

Yes. The driver pays you in cash when the car is loaded, at the amount Keith quoted on the phone.

I'm handling a parent's estate. Can I sell their car?

Often, yes. Call Keith first and tell him whose name is on the title, registration or insurance and where the estate stands. He'll tell you on that call what KMK needs to buy the car, so nobody sends a truck before the paperwork is sorted.

What if the car is in a barn or at the end of a long driveway?

That's fine. Tell Keith how far it is from the road, what the ground is like and whether the car rolls. He'll send a truck that can reach it, and the price stays the same.

Is the Mequon price the same as a Milwaukee price?

Yes. KMK prices the car, not the county. A car in 53092 gets the same offer as one parked next to the yard.
