Do we buy junk cars in Wind Lake?
KMK Towing & Recovery buys junk, scrap, salvage, crashed and non-running vehicles in Wind Lake and pays cash on the spot. Pickup is free and scheduled the same day, and the yard at 8517 W Kaul Ave is only about 28 miles up WIS 36. KMK has bought cars since 2014 and holds a 4.8 rating from 506 Google reviews.
Wind Lake is a census-designated place in the Town of Norway, in the northern part of Racine County, with 5,355 people at the 2020 census. A quarter of its 7.26 square miles is water, most of it the lake itself, which the Wisconsin DNR lists at 936 acres with a maximum depth of 52 feet and puts 20 miles northwest of Racine and 10 miles southwest of Milwaukee. Panfish dominate the fishery, with largemouth bass, walleye, northern pike and channel catfish behind them, and a state fishery area takes up nearly the whole island on the west side of the lake. Heg Memorial Park Museum on Heg Park Road honors Colonel Hans Christian Heg, who grew up in the Muskego Settlement here and led the 15th Wisconsin, the Union Army's only all-Scandinavian regiment.
Of the Racine County places on this site, Wind Lake is the closest to the yard. From 8517 W Kaul Ave the drive runs about 28 miles and 45 minutes: Silver Spring Drive to the Zoo Freeway, I-41 and US 45 south to Loomis Road, then WIS 36 straight down through Franklin and Muskego into Wind Lake. The pickup is free regardless. Every KMK quote already includes same-day pickup and removal of the vehicle, so where the car is parked in the Town of Norway does not add a line to the bill.
Keith Kwitek is the one who picks up the phone and the one who prices the car. He asks six things: year, make, model, title or not, where the car is in Wind Lake and what condition it is in. He gives you a cash number on that call. Keith has seen other buyers name a big number on the phone and a smaller one in the driveway, and KMK does the opposite. The phone price is the price you're paid when the car is loaded.

Why do so many cars in Wind Lake end up as junk?
Wind Lake is about 10 miles southwest of Milwaukee by the DNR's reckoning, close enough to share the city's humid continental climate and far enough inland to miss part of the lake-effect snow that Lake Michigan drops on Milwaukee. The Milwaukee normals for 1991 to 2020 give 48.7 inches of snow a year and a January daily mean of 24 degrees, with a record low of minus 26 on January 17, 1982 and February 4, 1996. Lake cottages get closed up for winter, and a car left behind through that may not start in April. KMK buys those.
- Cash on the spot for a non-running car at a Wind Lake home or cottage
- Free same-day pickup of wrecked and salvage vehicles anywhere in the Town of Norway
- Buying rusted trucks and SUVs that are done, whether or not they roll
- Taking a dead vehicle off a lake property before a seasonal close-up, a move or a sale
How do you sell a junk car in Wind Lake to KMK?
Call (414) 391-4900 or use the offer form. Keith asks for the year, make, model, whether you have the title, where the car is in Wind Lake and what condition it is in. Those six answers are the whole intake. A truck that quit on the road and a car that has been parked behind a cottage for three summers are both priced on that first call, with the free pickup built in.
Once you accept, Keith sets the pickup, and same-day is the norm. A KMK truck comes down WIS 36 from Kaul Ave, loads the car where it sits, and you're paid cash on the spot. KMK is a buyer of cars and does not advertise towing. The free removal is part of buying your car.
No title for the Wind Lake car. Can KMK still buy it?
Usually. KMK buys vehicles without a title or a key when the seller shows proof of ownership, and for KMK that means the registration in your name or proof of insurance on that vehicle in your name. This is KMK's own requirement, not a reading of Wisconsin law. If a lake-house car passed down through the family and nobody can find the paperwork, Keith tells you on the call whether he can buy it as it stands.
If you would rather have the title replaced first, the Wisconsin DMV is where that starts. This site's sell without title page explains the KMK side of a no-title sale. Either way, the fastest route to an answer is the phone.
Why is a Milwaukee buyer the easy choice in Wind Lake?
Because Wind Lake is nearly on the way. WIS 36 runs from Milwaukee's south side right through the Town of Norway, so a pickup here is a short run for KMK, and the terms are KMK's usual ones: free pickup, cash on the spot, and a price that does not move. KMK has bought cars since March 2014, from the Kaul Ave yard since December 2014. The 506 Google reviews say it in the sellers' own words, paid cash for the vehicle, quick and easy, paid a fair value, picked up the truck, came to the property free.
KMK covers Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington, Racine and Kenosha counties, so the neighbors are covered too: Muskego and Franklin to the north, Big Bend and Tichigan to the west, Waterford down the road and Raymond and Franksville to the east. Wherever the car is parked, the number from the phone is the number you're paid.

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.

Wind Lake questions
Is the pickup free in Wind Lake?
Yes. Free same-day pickup and removal come with every KMK quote. Wind Lake is about 28 miles from the yard, and that drive is KMK's to make, not yours to pay for.
Do you pay cash in the Town of Norway?
Yes. You are paid cash on the spot when the car is collected, and it is the amount Keith quoted on the phone. There is no check and no waiting on a transfer.
The car is on a lake lot with a steep or narrow drive. Can the truck get to it?
Describe the spot to Keith on the call: where the car sits, whether it rolls and how the truck can reach it. Cars that have not moved in years are loaded as they sit. The details help Keith plan the pickup.
I broke down on Loomis Road near Wind Lake and cannot afford a tow. Will you buy the car there?
Call with the location, the year, make, model and what happened. If KMK wants the car, the free pickup is part of the sale and the car is removed from the roadside. KMK does not advertise towing or roadside help.
What does Keith need from me before the truck comes?
Just the six answers: year, make, model, title or not, where the car is and its condition, plus your proof of ownership if there is no title. Clear your belongings out of the car. You do not need to make it run or move it.
