Oak Creek sits on Lake Michigan in the southeast corner of Milwaukee County. In 1950 it was a farm town of 4,807 people. After the power company built a plant there in 1951, Milwaukee wanted to annex it, so the town attorney wrote a state law, still called the Oak Creek Law, and Oak Creek became a city in 1955. By the 2020 census it had 36,497 people on 28.45 square miles. Its downtown, Drexel Town Square, went up on the site of a closed auto parts plant, and Wisconsin's first IKEA opened nearby.
KMK runs from 8517 W Kaul Ave on Milwaukee's northwest side, so an Oak Creek pickup crosses the whole county. It's about 25 miles and 30 to 35 minutes, nearly all of it on I-41, which follows I-894 and then I-94 south past the Mitchell Interchange to the Oak Creek exits. The drive is free.
Keith takes the call himself. He asks the year, make, model, whether you have the title, where in Oak Creek the car is and what condition it's in. From that he gives you a cash offer on the phone. Keith has watched other buyers quote high on the call and lowball in person. KMK doesn't work that way. The number Keith gives you is the cash you're paid when the car is loaded.

Why do so many cars in Oak Creek end up as junk?
Oak Creek grew more than 20 percent between 2000 and 2020, and new households usually come with two or three cars. Many of those cars spend their lives on I-94, running north to Milwaukee or south to Racine and Kenosha, and highway miles plus winter salt wear a car out faster than people expect. The city's motto is "Where City Meets the Country," and the cars match it: commuter sedans in the subdivisions around Drexel, and older pickups on the bigger lots toward the south end. When the repair estimate passes what the car is worth, it usually gets parked. KMK buys it from there.
- Cash for high-mileage commuter cars that aren't worth another repair
- Free same-day pickup anywhere in the 53154 ZIP code
- Buying older pickups and work trucks from the south end
- Clearing a dead car from a driveway or garage before a move or a sale
How does selling a junk car in Oak Creek work?
You 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 Oak Creek and what condition it's in. Be honest about the condition. A car that was rear-ended on Howell and a car that quietly died in the garage are both worth something, and Keith just needs to know which one he's sending a truck for. He gives you a cash offer on that call.
If you take the offer, Keith schedules the pickup the same day. A KMK truck drives down 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 charge for the pickup, even with 25 miles each way. If the car isn't worth fixing but still drives, the sell my car for cash page explains how KMK prices it.
Can you sell a junk car in Oak Creek without the title?
Often, yes. KMK can buy a vehicle without a title or key when you can show proof you own it. That's one of two documents: the registration in your name, or proof of insurance on that vehicle in your name. If the car belonged to a parent or has been parked since a previous owner moved out, say so on the call. If neither document fits your situation, call and explain it anyway.
If you want to replace the title first, the Wisconsin DMV is the place to start. The sell without a title page explains how KMK handles a car without one. Either way, start with the call. Keith will tell you straight whether he can buy the car as it stands.
Why do Oak Creek drivers sell to a buyer from across the county?
Because the pickup is free and the price doesn't change at the door. A 25-mile drive down I-41 costs you nothing, and 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, paid a fair value, came to the property free. That's 506 reviews and a 4.8 rating.
The same terms apply from the lakefront to 27th Street and out to the neighbors: South Milwaukee and Cudahy to the north and east, Franklin to the west, and Caledonia and Franksville across the Racine County line. No Oak Creek surcharge and no story about the car looking worse in person. The phone price is the price, wherever the car sits.

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.

Oak Creek questions
Do you really pick up for free in Oak Creek?
Yes. Every KMK quote includes free same-day pickup and removal, and that covers Oak Creek even though the yard is about 25 miles away on Milwaukee's northwest side. The drive down I-41 is on KMK, not on you.
Do you pay cash in Oak Creek?
Yes. The driver pays you in cash when the car is loaded, at the amount Keith quoted on the phone.
My car broke down near the I-94 exits and I can't afford a tow. Will you buy it where it sits?
If it's in a lot, on a side street or in your driveway, yes. Call Keith with the location. If it's stopped on the freeway itself, get yourself safe and follow law enforcement's instructions first. Once the car is off the interstate, KMK can buy it from wherever it ends up.
What if my car is in a garage or behind the house?
That's fine. Tell Keith where it's parked, whether the tires hold air and whether it rolls. He'll send a truck that can reach it, and the price stays the same.
Is the Oak Creek price the same as a Milwaukee price?
Yes. KMK prices the car, not the distance. There's no charge for being at the far end of the county.
