Chicago is home to over 2.7 million residents, and plenty of those driveways eventually hold a car that has reached the end of the road. If that is yours, Torqi turns it into cash without the listings, tire-kickers and lowball offers.
Winters around Chicago bring road salt and slush, and both are hard on a car. Rust works into brake lines, fuel tanks and rockers long before the engine gives up, so a vehicle that still drives can be worth far less than it looks. If yours is rusting out, recycling it now usually beats waiting another season.
Before we tow your car in Chicago, have the title ready to sign over, take the plates off, and clear out the glovebox. Filing a release of liability with the Illinois SOS protects you from tickets or fees tied to the vehicle after it is gone. Lost the title? Tell us, it is often still workable.
Torqi covers Chicago and the area around it, including Naperville, Cicero, and Evanston. We buy cars in any condition, running or not, wrecked, flooded or simply worn out. Towing is free, pickup is often same day or next day, and you are paid at the vehicle, not weeks later.
It depends on the year, make, model and condition, plus the current scrap and parts market in Chicago. The fastest way to know is our two-minute form: licensed recyclers bid on your car and you see a real number, not a rough guess.
Yes. Towing and pickup are free everywhere we operate in Cook County, including Naperville, Cicero, and Evanston. The offer you accept is what you get, with nothing taken off for the tow.
Usually the signed title and a photo ID. Take your plates and belongings first, and file a release of liability with the Illinois SOS so the car is no longer in your name. No title? Let us know, we can often still help.
Absolutely. Most cars we buy in Chicago do not start, do not drive, or are wrecked. Recyclers value the parts and metal, so a car that will not move is still worth real money.
Often the same day or the next, depending on the tow schedule around Chicago. Once you accept an offer, we book a pickup window that works for you and pay you when the car is loaded.
