What you need before pickup in Putnam 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 Putnam 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.
Putnam County packs a lot into a small footprint — the reservoir country around Carmel and Mahopac, the commuter villages at Brewster and Patterson, and the steep ground dropping toward the Hudson at Cold Spring and Garrison. We buy junk cars in all of it, on suburban streets and on the long private drives up in the hills alike. Send us the year, make, model and honest condition, take a free instant offer, and if you accept we schedule a free tow. The car does not need to start, and we do all the moving.
Commuter mileage on roads that never sit flat
Most of the cars we pick up here did not die of neglect. They were driven, hard, for years. Between the trips down to the station lots, the runs across I-84, and the daily miles on the parkway, a Putnam car racks up highway mileage the way a city car racks up hours idling.
The terrain adds a second kind of wear. These roads climb, wind and drop constantly around the reservoirs and through the Highlands, which is genuinely tough on brakes, cooling systems and suspension. Then winter brings salt onto roads that already flex and heave through the freeze-thaw cycle, and the potholes that come out of it in March finish off struts, bushings and wheels. The usual ending is a mechanic quoting a repair — transmission, head gasket, rusted brake lines — that costs more than the car will ever be worth again.
Whatever shape yours is in, describe it honestly and we will still make you an offer.
Free towing across the whole county
I-84 cuts across the northern part of the county, the Taconic runs the middle, and Route 6, Route 9 and Route 22 connect nearly everything else — Carmel and Mahopac, the Brewster and Patterson side, and the river towns to the west. Route 301 links the two halves through the middle. Narrow driveways and tight hillside turnarounds are ordinary work for us here, so do not assume a truck cannot reach the car.
Towing is free and it is already inside the offer you accept — never billed later, never trimmed off at pickup. Same-day removal is often possible when the offer is arranged early in the day, though the exact window depends on where our trucks already are, so we confirm a real time with you rather than promise one.
Plates, paperwork, and getting paid
New York requires you to take the plates off before the car changes hands and surrender them at any DMV office, including the ones here in Putnam County. Keep the FS-6 receipt you are given. It proves the plates are no longer your responsibility, which is exactly what you want on hand if the vehicle is ever ticketed or towed after it leaves you.
After that it is simple. We handle the ownership paperwork, load the car onto the flatbed, and pay you at pickup — no mailed check, no second appointment. Whether it is a worn-out commuter that finally lost its transmission or something that has been parked beside the house for a few seasons, start with a free instant offer and see what it is worth today.
