What you need before pickup in Madison County
Proof of sale and proof of ownership
You'll need a bill of sale and, in most cases, your car's title signed over to us. The bill of sale should include the year, make, model, and VIN of the vehicle, the sale date and price, and the printed names and signatures of both the buyer and seller.
Plates come off before insurance gets canceled
New York requires you to remove your plates and surrender them to a DMV office before you cancel your insurance — don't cancel coverage first. The plates themselves, along with the inspection sticker, should come off the car before pickup. The DMV issues an FS-6 receipt as proof of surrender, so hold onto it.
No title? Older vehicles work differently
Vehicles manufactured before 1973 aren't required to have a title in New York — a transferable registration takes its place. If your title is missing or the car is older, tell us and we'll walk you through what New York actually accepts instead.
Licensed and regulated in Madison County
New York State regulates businesses that buy, tow, dismantle, or scrap junk vehicles — including dismantlers, scrap processors, itinerant vehicle collectors, and mobile crushers. That oversight exists to protect sellers from unlicensed operators who show up, lowball the price after the tow truck arrives, or skip the paperwork entirely.
We keep the process transparent from the first offer to pickup — the number we quote is the number we pay, with no surprise deductions once the truck shows up.
Madison County stretches from the flat ground south of Oneida Lake, where Oneida, Canastota and Chittenango sit, up into the hill country around Cazenovia and the farm towns further south. It is a county people commute out of — toward Syracuse on one side, Utica on the other — and that shows up in the odometers. When a car reaches the point where it is not worth another repair, we buy it where it is parked. Tell us the year, make, model and an honest description of the condition, take a free instant offer, and if it works we schedule a free tow. The car does not need to start.
Snow off the lake, hills to the south, and salt through it all
The northern half of this county sits close enough to the lake country to get real snow, and the hills to the south collect their own. Between them, road crews are out treating pavement for a long stretch of every year, and that is where the trouble starts. Salt is not hard on paint so much as on everything underneath.
It eats rocker panels below the doors, brake and fuel lines running the length of the car, exhaust components, and the mounting points that tie the suspension to the body. On the southern hill roads, the grades add their own wear to brakes and drivetrains, and spring freeze-thaw leaves pavement rough enough to punish suspension. A commuter putting daily highway miles on top of all that gets to the end faster than the model year would suggest.
Most people do not decide to junk a car. A mechanic decides for them, by pointing at rot in something structural and quoting a repair worth more than the vehicle. Rust does not disqualify anything — describe it honestly and we will still make an offer.
Towing across the county
Our trucks run the Thruway corridor across the north of the county along with Route 5, which links the northern villages to each other. Route 20 covers the east–west run through the higher country to the south, and Route 46 and Route 13 reach a lot of what is in between. From those we get to the residential streets, back lots and farm lanes where these cars actually sit.
Towing is free and it is folded into the offer you accept — never billed back to you afterward. Same-day pickup is often possible when the offer is scheduled before the afternoon, but the exact window depends on where our trucks already are that day, so we confirm a real time with you rather than promise one up front.
Plates, paperwork, and getting paid
New York requires you to take your plates off before the car changes hands and surrender them at any DMV office. Keep the FS-6 receipt the DMV hands back — that is your proof the plates are no longer your responsibility, and it matters if the car is ever ticketed or towed once it leaves you.
After that it is quick. We handle the ownership paperwork, load the car onto the flatbed, and pay you at pickup. No mailed check, no waiting, no second visit. Whether it is a salt-eaten commuter that failed inspection or something that has not moved since two winters ago, start with a free instant offer.
