East Greenbush sits just east of the Hudson River from Albany, a Capital Region suburban town along the I-90 corridor that includes the hamlet of Defreestville.

We tow from anywhere in the town, running or not, and pay at pickup.

What you need before pickup in East Greenbush
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.
In East Greenbush, getting rid of a junk car usually means one of three headaches: classified ads nobody answers, buyers who lowball you on the phone, or paying just to have it hauled away. We skip all three — tell us the year, make, model, and real condition, get a free instant offer, and book a free tow if it works for you. The car can be dead in the driveway; you'll never have to drive it anywhere. We handle the rest.
Why Capital Region winters and I-90 miles wear cars down
East Greenbush sits just east of the Hudson River from Albany, a Capital Region suburban town along the I-90 corridor that includes the hamlet of Defreestville. Years of Capital Region winters combined with daily commuter driving take a real toll on brakes, exhaust systems, and anything already weak underneath. Add New York's annual inspection requirement, and a lot of East Greenbush owners land in the same spot: the car has been fine for local driving, but the repair estimate to pass inspection again is more than the car is worth. That does not disqualify anything — a car that failed inspection, running or not, is still a car we will make an offer on.
Free towing across East Greenbush and Defreestville
We tow from anywhere in East Greenbush, whether your car is parked in Defreestville or elsewhere in town. Towing is free and built into your offer, never billed separately. We can often manage same-day pickup when your offer is scheduled by early afternoon, but exact timing depends on I-90 traffic that day, so we confirm a real time with you directly instead of promising an exact hour up front.
Plates, paperwork, and getting paid
Plates don't transfer with the car in New York. Take them off before the sale goes through and surrender them at a DMV office, including the Rensselaer County locations near you, and keep the FS-6 receipt they give you back — that's your record that the plates are cleared from your name. We'll guide you through when to do this.
From there it is simple. We handle the ownership paperwork on the car itself, load it onto the flatbed, and pay you at pickup — no waiting on a mailed check, no runaround. East Greenbush is a Capital Region commuter town at heart, but whether your car is a local commuter that finally failed inspection or an old vehicle that has simply had enough, we will buy it. Start with a free instant offer and see what your East Greenbush junk car is worth today.

Licensed and regulated in East Greenbush
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.
