Do we buy junk cars in Sturtevant?

KMK Towing & Recovery buys junk cars in Sturtevant, WI for cash paid on the spot, and the free same-day pickup is part of the quote. Scrap, salvage, crashed and non-running vehicles all qualify. Keith prices the car on the phone, and 506 Google reviews with a 4.8 rating back up that the phone price is the price.

Sturtevant is a village of 4.19 square miles and 6,919 people at the 2020 census, sitting west of Racine where Durand Avenue (WI 11) crosses Green Bay Road (WI 31) and Washington Avenue (WI 20) runs along the north side. It grew up as a railroad junction. The Milwaukee Road's Chicago and Milwaukee main line crossed its Racine and Southwestern line here, and the village was called Parkersville, Western Union Junction and Corliss before it took the Sturtevant name in 1923 when the B. F. Sturtevant Company opened a plant. Trains still define the place. Amtrak's Hiawatha and Borealis stop at the station on East Exploration Court off WI 20, which handled 55,779 passengers in Amtrak's fiscal 2025, and the Western Union Junction Railroad Museum keeps three Milwaukee Road boxcars and a caboose across from the old depot site.

KMK Towing & Recovery buys cars from its yard at 8517 W Kaul Ave in Milwaukee, about 40 miles and under an hour from the center of Sturtevant. The truck takes the Zoo Freeway and I-894 to I-94, runs south past Mitchell airport to the Washington Avenue exit, then follows WI 20 east and turns down 90th Street into the village. There is no charge for any of that. Pickup and removal are inside every KMK quote, and the figure Keith gives you on the phone is the cash you're paid at the truck.

Keith Kwitek is the owner and the person who prices the cars. He asks the year, make and model, whether you have the title, where in Sturtevant the car is and what condition it is in, then gives you a cash offer on the same call. He has seen other buyers quote high on the phone and lowball in person, and KMK is built around not doing that. The number does not move when the truck pulls up.

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

Winter in Sturtevant is Racine County winter. The nearest long-term record, the Racine WWTP station, lists a 1991 to 2020 average of 41.0 inches of snow per year, a January mean of 22.1 degrees, a January low of 14.5 and extremes of minus 31 in January and minus 23 in December. January alone averages 13.3 inches of snow across about six snow days. If your car has not started since the last of those mornings, KMK will still buy it and the truck will still come the same day.

How do I sell a junk car in Sturtevant?

Call (414) 391-4900 or use the offer form on this site. Keith asks six things and nothing else: year, make, model, title or no title, where the car is in Sturtevant and its condition. Describe the condition plainly. Does it start, was it in a crash, is anything major missing or damaged. From those answers Keith gives you a cash price on the call.

Say yes and he books the truck for the same day. A KMK truck comes down from Kaul Ave, the driver loads the car as it sits and you're paid cash on the spot. Keith owns all the trucks, and Marvin and Nick are the drivers. Removal is part of the purchase, not a separate service, so there is no towing bill and nothing is taken off the price when the car is loaded. KMK does not advertise towing or roadside help. The truck comes because KMK bought your car.

What if the car in Sturtevant has no title?

KMK can still buy it in many cases. The seller has to show proof of ownership, and for KMK that means either the registration in your name or proof of insurance on that vehicle in your name. This is how KMK handles its own purchases and is not a description of Wisconsin title law. Tell Keith the title is missing when you call and he will tell you whether the sale can go ahead.

If the car was left behind by a family member or came with a property, 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 before you sell. The sell without title page on this site has the fuller version of how a no-title sale works with KMK.

Why do people in Racine County sell to KMK?

Keith's answer is fast response, a pickup scheduled the same day and communication. The Google reviews, 506 of them at a 4.8 rating, say it in the customers' own words: paid cash for the vehicle, quick and easy, paid a fair value, picked up the truck, came to the property free. KMK has been buying cars since March 2014 and has run out of the Kaul Ave yard since December 2014.

Racine County is on KMK's list along with Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington and Kenosha counties. From Sturtevant that covers neighbors like Mount Pleasant and Racine, and it reaches back up I-94 to Caledonia and Franksville. The terms are identical in all of them: free same-day pickup, cash on the spot and a phone price that holds.

  • 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!

Sturtevant questions

Does the free pickup cover Sturtevant?

Yes. Every KMK quote includes free same-day pickup and removal, and that applies to Sturtevant and the rest of Racine County. The 40-mile drive from Kaul Ave is not charged to you.

Will you buy a car that was crashed and no longer drives?

Yes. Crashed and salvage vehicles are part of what KMK buys. Tell Keith what happened and where the car is now. If KMK buys it, the free pickup comes with the sale.

Can I call at night or on a Sunday?

Yes. KMK is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Keith sets the pickup time with you on the call.

What paperwork do I need for a Sturtevant pickup?

The title if you have it. If you do not, the registration or insurance for the car in your name shows KMK that it is yours. Keith confirms on the call what works for your car.

Do you buy old classic cars in Sturtevant too?

Yes. KMK still buys classic vehicles in any condition. Give Keith the year, make and model and he prices it like any other car.
