Cash for junk cars in Homestead, step by step
Request your offer
Tell us the year, make, model and condition, and where the car is in Homestead. Call or use the online form, and you get a firm cash offer in minutes.
Book the pickup
Pick a time that works for you. Same-day pickup is common, even this far south.
Get paid, then we tow
The driver checks the car and the title, you sign it over, and you're paid in cash before the car is loaded. The tow is free.
Junk car pickup at the south end of Miami-Dade
Homestead sits at the far south end of our service area, and we still tow junk cars Homestead residents sell us for free. That covers Florida City, Leisure City, Naranja and the Redland, and every Homestead ZIP code from 33030 to 33035.
Farms, nurseries and long driveways
Out in the Redland, cars often sit on grass, gravel or dirt behind a farmhouse or a nursery. Tell us about soft ground or a long driveway and we bring a truck that can reach the car.
Off US 1 and Krome Avenue
From the neighborhoods along US 1 and Campbell Drive to the homes off Krome Avenue, we pick up from driveways, yards, apartment lots and repair shops.
Florida City and Leisure City
South of Homestead, Florida City is where the Turnpike ends before the road to the Keys. We pick up there and in Leisure City, Naranja and Princeton for free, the same as in Homestead.
What we buy from Homestead owners
- Old work trucks and pickups that hauled their last load
- Cars that sat through a hurricane season and won't start
- Accident-damaged cars that aren't worth fixing
- Family vans and SUVs with a blown engine or transmission
- High-mileage commuters worn out by the drive up US 1 or the Turnpike
- Cars with flat tires, a dead battery or missing parts
Every make and model qualifies as long as the title is in your name. We buy junk cars Homestead drivers have retired, whatever shape they are in.
How we price a junk car in Homestead
Your offer comes from what the car is worth today: its weight in scrap metal, the parts that still work, and what metal and used parts sell for this week. Trucks and SUVs weigh more, so they usually bring more. A good engine, transmission or catalytic converter adds to the number, even if the car doesn't run.
Distance doesn't lower the price. We pay top dollar for junk cars Homestead owners sell us, and the long tow to our Miami yard is on us.
Give us the real details when you ask for a quote: the year, make, model and mileage, what works and what doesn't, and whether any parts are missing. An accurate description gets you an accurate offer, so the number doesn't change when the driver arrives.
Hurricanes, floods and cars that won't start
Homestead knows what a hurricane can do; Hurricane Andrew made landfall near here in 1992. Storm surge, heavy rain and standing water can flood a car's engine and electrical system, and the repair often costs more than the car is worth.
We buy flood-damaged and storm-damaged cars as they are. Tell us how high the water got, whether a tree came down on the car and whether it starts, and we price it on that. If the car sat in deep water, don't try to start it, because water in the engine can do more damage. Leave it where it is and call us.
Paperwork when you sell a junk car in Homestead
- The title in your name, signed over to us at pickup, with the odometer reading on it
- A valid photo ID
- Your license plate, taken off the car (in Florida it belongs to you, not the car)
- A Notice of Sale (form HSMV 82050) filed after the sale, so the car's registration comes off your name
Good to know
The state explains each step in its guide to buying and selling a vehicle. Lost the title? Apply for a duplicate with form HSMV 82101 before you sell; if a loan is still open on the car, only the lender can apply for it.
Before the tow truck heads south
- Clear out the glove box, trunk, door pockets and the space under the seats
- Take your SunPass transponder so Turnpike tolls stop posting to your account
- Grab the garage door opener and any gate remotes
- Send us gate codes or directions for farm roads and unmarked driveways
- Keep dogs inside while the truck loads the car

Selling a junk car in Homestead: common questions
A daily drive up US 1 or the Turnpike piles on miles fast. Past a certain point, a worn engine, transmission and suspension cost more to fix than the car is worth. That is usually the moment to sell it for cash and put the money toward something that runs.
Get the repair quote, then ask what the car would be worth after the work. If the repair costs more than that, or close to it, selling the car as it is usually makes more sense. Tell us what's wrong and you can compare our cash offer with the shop's estimate before you decide.
An engine that overheats every week, a transmission that slips or won't shift, a frame with rust holes, or a check engine light that a shop can't fix for less than the car is worth. Any one of these can turn a daily driver into a junk car. We buy them as they are, and you skip the repair bill.
A car parked for years behind a barn or a nursery still has value in its metal and parts. Rust, flat tires and plants growing through the wheel wells don't stop us. Let us know how to reach it, and whether anything is parked in front of it, so the truck can get in and out.
Florida plates stay with the owner, not the car. If you're not moving the plate to another vehicle, you can turn it in at a driver license and motor vehicle service center or a tax collector office. A registered car has to stay insured in Florida, so if the car has been sitting and you cancel its insurance, the state says to surrender the plate and registration at the same time.
We tow the car north to our yard in Miami. Parts that still work are pulled and reused, and the rest of the car is recycled for its metal, so nothing is left rusting in a Homestead yard.
