Do we buy junk cars in Union Grove?

KMK Towing & Recovery buys junk, scrap, salvage, crashed and non-running vehicles in Union Grove and pays cash on the spot. Every quote includes free same-day pickup and removal, and the yard at 8517 W Kaul Ave is about 35 miles away. KMK has done this since 2014 and holds a 4.8 rating from 506 Google reviews.

Union Grove is a village of 4,806 people at the 2020 census, laid out on 2.47 square miles of western Racine County where US 45 crosses WIS 11, about five miles west of I-94. The first settler, John E. Dunham, built a frame house in 1838 on what is now Main Street, and Governor Henry Dodge named the place by joining the name of the Union School to the burr oak grove on the west side of the land. The Racine County Fairgrounds at 19805 Durand Ave have hosted the county fair here since 1923, and Great Lakes Dragaway, a quarter-mile strip that opened in 1955 just over the county line in the Town of Paris, sits a short drive south.

KMK Towing & Recovery is based at 8517 W Kaul Ave on the northwest side of Milwaukee. The quickest drive to Union Grove is about 35 miles and just under an hour: Silver Spring Drive to the Zoo Freeway, I-41 and US 45 south, then US 45 the rest of the way through Loomis Road, North Cape Road and Raynor Avenue, across Washington Avenue at WIS 20, and down Colony Avenue onto Main Street. KMK makes that drive for free. The pickup is part of every quote, so a Union Grove address costs you nothing extra.

Keith Kwitek answers the phone and buys the car. He asks the year, the make, the model, whether you hold the title, where in Union Grove the vehicle is sitting and what shape it is in, and he gives you a cash number on that call. What sets KMK apart is simple: the number he gives on the phone is the cash you're paid at pickup. He has seen other buyers quote high and then lowball once the truck is in the driveway, and KMK does not do business that way.

Where in Union Grove do we pick up?

  • Main Street and the village center

  • The Yorkville and Kansasville edges of the village

Around: Racine County Fairgrounds, 19805 Durand Ave, Great Lakes Dragaway, just south in the Town of Paris, Shepherds College, founded in 2008, Union Grove Union High School, Village Square Park, Lauer Wildlife Preserve, Lincoln Woods Memorial Nature Walk, School Yard Park and its pavilion

Why do so many cars in Union Grove end up as junk?

Union Grove sits about 35 miles southwest of KMK's yard, far enough from Lake Michigan that it misses some of the lake-effect snow Milwaukee gets, but the winter is the same humid continental winter. Milwaukee's 1991 to 2020 normals give a January daily mean of 24 degrees and 48.7 inches of snow a year, and the record low for the area is minus 26, set on January 17, 1982 and again on February 4, 1996. A car that would not turn over after the last hard freeze and has sat since is exactly the kind of car KMK buys.

  • Cash on the spot for non-running cars in Union Grove driveways and garages
  • Free same-day pickup of wrecked and salvage vehicles anywhere in the 53182 ZIP code
  • Buying rusted trucks, vans and SUVs that are not worth another repair bill
  • Removing a dead car from a property before a move, a sale or a cleanup

What happens when you call KMK from Union Grove?

You call (414) 391-4900 or send the offer form, and Keith asks six things: year, make, model, title or no title, where the car is in Union Grove and what condition it is in. Tell it to him straight. A pickup with a seized engine and a sedan that was wrecked are both cars KMK buys, and the six answers are all he needs to price it. You get a cash offer on the call, and the offer already includes free pickup and removal.

If you accept, Keith schedules the pickup, and that is normally the same day. A KMK truck comes down from Kaul Ave, loads the car wherever it sits, and you're paid cash on the spot. There is no separate charge for the drive to Racine County. KMK buys cars and does not advertise towing, so the only truck involved is the one collecting the car you sold.

Can KMK buy a car in Union Grove without a title?

In many cases, yes. KMK can buy a vehicle without a title or a key when you show proof that you own it, which for KMK means either the registration in your name or proof of insurance on that vehicle in your name. That is KMK's own process, not a statement of Wisconsin law. If the car came from a family member and the paperwork is a mess, say so on the call and Keith tells you whether he can buy it as it stands.

If you would rather replace the title first, the Wisconsin DMV is where to start. The sell without title page on this site walks through how KMK handles a no-title car. Either way, a quick call settles it, and Keith tells you on the phone whether KMK can buy the car as it stands.

Why sell a Union Grove junk car to a Milwaukee buyer?

Because the pickup is free, the payment is cash and the price does not change at the door. KMK has bought cars since March 2014 and has run from the Kaul Ave yard since December 2014. The Google reviews, 506 of them for a 4.8 rating, repeat the same things: paid cash for the vehicle, quick and easy, paid a fair value, picked up the truck, came to the property free.

Racine County is inside KMK's area. KMK buys across Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington, Racine and Kenosha counties, so Union Grove is covered, and so are Yorkville, Kansasville and Sturtevant next door. The phone price is the price, whether the car is parked near the fairgrounds or out on the edge of the village.

  • 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!

Union Grove questions

Is pickup really free in Union Grove?

Yes. Every KMK quote includes free same-day pickup and removal, and that covers Union Grove even though the yard is on the northwest side of Milwaukee. The 35-mile drive down US 45 is on KMK.

Do I get paid in cash?

Yes. You are paid cash on the spot when the car is collected. The amount is the one Keith gave you on the phone, with no check to wait on and no renegotiation in your driveway.

My car has been sitting in a barn or shed outside the village. Can you still get it?

Tell Keith where the car is and whether it rolls. Non-running cars are loaded onto the truck as they sit. Give him the address and any gate or access details on the call and he plans the pickup around them.

I broke down near Union Grove and cannot afford to have the car towed home. Will you buy it there?

Call with the location, the year, make, model and what happened. If it is a car KMK wants, the free pickup comes with the sale and the car is removed from where it sits. KMK buys the car. It does not advertise towing or roadside help.

How fast can you pick up in Union Grove?

Pickups are scheduled the same day in most cases. KMK is open 24 hours, 7 days a week, so call (414) 391-4900 whenever the car becomes a problem and Keith sets a time.
