Tow Trucks

At Sell My Junk Car, we are committed to providing you with a quality cash offer for your old vehicle, while also safely recovering and towing it away for you. We know that vehicles at this stage and condition can be difficult to access – that’s why we maintain a variety of new and updated tow trucks and trained tow truck drivers with the experience and knowledge to load your junk car safely.

If you’re worried that your vehicle is too difficult to recover and sell to SMJC to tow away, think again! Even if your vehicle has been damaged in an accident or is stuck, our team can work to safely recover and load it, leaving you with cash in hand.

Our Vehicle Recovery & Towing Capabilities

At SMJC, our team uses the term “recovery” to refer to any vehicle that is stuck, needs to be dragged a long distance to be loaded on the truck, or when the tow truck pickup needs special equipment. Our goal in vehicle recovery pickups is always to load the vehicle with as little damage as possible, to prioritize the safety of our tow truck drivers, and to load the vehicle on the tow truck as efficiently as possible.

As in our standard vehicle quote process, we can provide a quote for any vehicle using the VIN, even if it has been damaged or in an accident. In addition to the weight of the vehicle, we take into consideration the desirability of the remaining parts when calculating a cash offer to ensure you receive the best deal. The offer amount may fluctuate based on the damage to or lack of parts.

Our team does our best to understand what to expect when we are picking up a vehicle beforehand to streamline the recovery and loading process. No matter the extent of the pick up or recovery, it does not impact the price we offer for your car.

Professional & Experienced Tow Truck Drivers

Our team is made up of industry professionals with years of experience to ensure your car recovery and tow truck loading process is as safe and efficient as possible. Our tow truck drivers undergo on-the-job training with one of our current drivers or managers to learn the SMJC process. Most of our drivers come to us with ample experience in towing and recovery and background checks are performed on every candidate before they are hired as part of our team. We prioritize training in safety procedures and the correct use of our new equipment.

Once you request a quote for your junk car and accept our offer, a SMJC tow truck driver will meet you at your location to recover and load your vehicle. Our tow truck driver uniforms are high visibility to ensure the safety of our drivers, wherever they’re recovering your vehicle from. We continue to maintain our tow trucks, frequently replacing equipment and performing proper vehicle maintenance to ensure all features function optimally. We recently updated our fleet of tow trucks and currently maintain five trucks in total – three 2023 Chevy 4500 flatbeds and two 2024 International MV607 flatbeds.
