Do we buy junk cars in West Allis?
KMK Towing & Recovery pays cash for junk cars across West Allis, including scrap, salvage, crashed and non-running vehicles. 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.
West Allis takes its name from the Edward P. Allis Company. When the firm, by then Allis-Chalmers, built a big new plant west of Milwaukee in 1902, the land around it became the Village of West Allis, and it was a city by 1906. It counted 60,325 people at the 2020 census, the eleventh-largest city in Wisconsin, on about 11.4 square miles. Much of that is older housing on tight lots with a garage at the back, and a car that quits back there can sit for years.
KMK runs from 8517 W Kaul Ave on the northwest side of Milwaukee, about 11 miles north of West Allis. Most pickups take I-41/US 45 south through the Zoo Interchange and come off at Greenfield Avenue (WI 59), roughly 20 minutes door to door. The drive is on KMK. You don't pay for it.
Keith answers the phone himself. He asks the year, make and model, whether you have the title, where in West Allis the car is parked and what's wrong with it. Then he gives you a cash number on that call. Some buyers quote high on the phone and knock the price down once they're standing in your driveway. KMK doesn't. The number Keith gives you is the cash you're handed when the car is loaded.

Why do so many cars in West Allis end up as junk?
Part of it is the housing. West Allis grew fivefold between 1910 and 1930, and plenty of homes from that era still have small detached garages built for much smaller cars. When a second car dies, it ends up on the apron or along the alley and stays there. Part of it is water. On August 9 and 10, 2025, storms dropped more than a foot of rain on parts of Milwaukee County, flooded State Fair Park and canceled the last day of the fair. A car that took on water that weekend can run for a while before the electrical problems start. If yours is one of them, KMK buys it as is.

How does selling a junk car in West Allis work?
Call (414) 391-4900 or send the offer form. Keith asks six things: year, make, model, title or no title, where the car sits in West Allis and what condition it's in. Tell him straight. A car with a blown engine and a car that just won't turn over both have value, and Keith needs to know which one he's sending a truck for. You get a cash offer on that call.
Say yes and Keith books the pickup for the same day. A KMK truck comes down from Kaul Ave, the driver loads the car and you're paid in cash right there. Towing is built into the quote, so nothing comes off the price for the pickup. If the car is in a garage off the alley, mention it when you call so the right truck shows up. The junk car removal page covers the pickup step by step.
Can you sell a junk car in West Allis without the title?
Often, yes. KMK can buy a car without a title or keys when you can show it's yours. That means one of two documents: the registration in your name, or proof of insurance on that vehicle in your name. If the car came to you from a parent, or the title disappeared in a move, say so on the call. Plenty of West Allis cars are in exactly that spot.
If you'd rather get a replacement title first, start with the Wisconsin DMV. The sell without a title page explains how KMK handles a car that doesn't have one. Either way, call first. Keith will tell you on the phone whether he can buy the car as it stands.
Why do West Allis drivers sell to a buyer on the northwest side?
Because the price holds when the truck arrives. KMK has bought cars since March 2014 and has run from the Kaul Ave yard since December 2014. Across 506 Google reviews, customers keep mentioning the same things: cash paid for the car, a quick pickup, a fair price and no charge to come out. That adds up to a 4.8 rating.
The same terms apply from State Fair Park out to Highway 100 and in the cities next door: Wauwatosa to the north, West Milwaukee to the east, and Greenfield to the south with Franklin beyond it. KMK also buys across Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington, Racine and Kenosha counties. There's no West Allis surcharge and no story at the curb about the car looking worse in person.

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.

West Allis questions
Do you really pick up for free in West Allis?
Yes. Every KMK offer includes free same-day pickup and removal anywhere in West Allis. The yard is on Milwaukee's northwest side, about 20 minutes away, and that drive costs you nothing.
Do you pay cash in West Allis?
Yes. The driver pays you in cash when the car is loaded, at the amount Keith quoted on the phone. No check in the mail and no waiting on a transfer.
My car is in a garage off the alley. Can you get it out?
Usually, yes. Tell Keith how wide the alley is, how the garage opens and whether the car rolls. Flat tires and a locked steering wheel are normal. A car that has to be pulled out takes a little longer to load, and the price you were quoted stays the same.
My car sat in floodwater in August 2025. Will you still buy it?
Yes. Flood damage doesn't stop KMK from making an offer. Tell Keith how high the water got and whether the car runs. If your insurer totaled it and you kept it, mention that too and have whatever paperwork they sent you.
Is the West Allis price the same as a Milwaukee price?
Yes. KMK prices the car, not the ZIP code. A car in 53227 gets the same offer it would get parked next to the Kaul Ave yard.
