West Bend is the county seat and the largest city in Washington County, with 31,752 people at the 2020 census on about 15 square miles. It's named for where the Milwaukee River bends through town. West Bend became a city in 1885, and the county courthouse and jail went up in 1889. That building is now a history museum. The West Bend Aluminum Company, later the West Bend Company, started here in 1911.
KMK runs from 8517 W Kaul Ave on Milwaukee's northwest side. West Bend is about 30 miles north, roughly 35 minutes on I-41 and US 45, staying on US 45 where it splits off at Richfield. You don't pay for the drive.
Keith takes the call himself. He asks the year, make and model, whether you have the title, where in or around West Bend the car is and what condition it's in. Then he gives you a cash offer on the phone. Keith has watched buyers quote high on the call and lowball in person, especially on longer drives where they figure you won't send them away. KMK doesn't do that. The number Keith gives you is the cash you're paid when the car is loaded.

Why do so many cars around West Bend end up as junk?
West Bend is where the suburbs give way to lake country and farmland. Washington County has 136,761 people spread across 436 square miles, and on that kind of land an extra vehicle rarely gets towed away. It gets parked. The work truck that lost its transmission goes behind the shed. The car at the lake place sits through a winter and won't start in spring. Gravel town roads, road salt on US 45 and long commutes to Milwaukee wear vehicles down, and once the repair costs more than the truck is worth, it stays where it stopped. KMK buys it from there.

How does selling a junk car in West Bend work?
Call (414) 391-4900 or fill out the offer form. Keith asks six things: year, make, model, title or no title, where the car is and what condition it's in. Be honest about it. A truck with a dead transmission and a car that just won't start after the winter are both worth something, and Keith needs to know which one he's sending a truck 30 miles for. You get a cash offer on that call.
If you take it, Keith schedules the pickup the same day. A KMK truck drives up from Kaul Ave, loads the vehicle, and you're paid cash on the spot. Removal is part of every quote, so the distance never comes off your price. The junk car removal page walks through the pickup.
Can you sell a junk car in West Bend without the title?
Often, yes. KMK can buy a vehicle without a title or key when you can show you own it, with the registration in your name or proof of insurance on that vehicle in your name. Trucks that have sat on a property for years often have neither, especially if they came with the land. If that's what you're dealing with, call and explain it.
To replace a title first, start with the Wisconsin DMV. The sell without a title page explains how KMK buys a car without one. Either way, call first. Keith will tell you straight whether he can buy it as it stands.
Why do West Bend drivers sell to a buyer 30 miles south?
Because the drive is KMK's problem and the price doesn't change when the truck arrives. 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, a fair value, came to the property free. That's 506 reviews and a 4.8 rating.
The same terms apply from Main Street out to the lakes and into the towns around West Bend: Hartford to the southwest, Slinger and Jackson to the south, Germantown further down US 45, and Kewaskum and Barton to the north. No Washington County surcharge and no story about the car looking worse in person. 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!
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 Bend questions
Do you really come all the way to West Bend for free?
Yes. Every KMK quote includes free same-day pickup and removal in West Bend. The drive from Kaul Ave is about 35 minutes, and KMK covers it.
Do you pay cash in West Bend?
Yes. The driver pays you in cash when the vehicle is loaded, at the amount Keith quoted on the phone.
My car is at a lake place outside the city. Can you pick it up there?
Yes. Big Cedar, Little Cedar and Silver Lake are all fine. Give Keith the address, where the car is parked and who will meet the driver to hand over the keys or paperwork and take the cash.
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 West Bend price the same as a Milwaukee price?
Yes. KMK prices the vehicle, not the mileage to get there. A car in 53095 gets the same offer as one in Milwaukee.
