Turning a junk car into cash in Blaine is quick. Cash For A Junker makes you an offer, usually within minutes, tows the car for free and pays you on the spot. Same-day pickup is often available anywhere in the city.
Blaine covers a lot of ground, from older neighborhoods near Northtown to newer developments up toward Lexington Avenue and the National Sports Center. Many Blaine drivers commute down I-35W or Highway 65 every day, and those miles wear cars out. Add Anoka County winters, salted roads and the occasional deer strike, and it’s easy to end up with a car that costs more to fix than it’s worth. When that happens, call and we’ll take it as it is.

Getting Your Junker Out of Blaine – Fast and Free
We tow junk cars from every corner of Blaine: the neighborhoods around Northtown, homes near the National Sports Center, and newer subdivisions in the north end. I-35W, Highway 65 and US-10 all serve the city, so same-day pickup is often available. We pick up from driveways, garages, townhome lots and apartment complexes.
Blaine cars wear out in a few predictable ways. Commuter miles on I-35W and Highway 65 add up quickly, and winter road salt rusts out brake lines, exhausts and wheel wells. Deer collisions on the city’s quieter roads can leave a car with front-end damage that isn’t worth fixing on an older model. And a car that sits outside through a hard winter often won’t start in spring without a battery, a starter or more.
Tips for a smooth Blaine pickup:
- Park the car where a tow truck can reach it, or tell us where it’s stuck if it won’t move.
- For townhome or HOA lots, let the association know a tow is coming.
- Take out personal items and any toll transponder.
- Have the title signed and ready. Lost title? Call and ask – some cases can be worked out, and we’ll explain how to order a duplicate from DVS.
Crash or deer damage doesn’t stop a sale. Our sell a damaged car page explains how we price wrecked vehicles, and cash for junk cars covers the rest. For a real number on your car, call (763) 226-3586.
All vehicles go to licensed recyclers. Fluids, batteries, mercury switches and tires are removed and handled under Minnesota rules, and the metal is recycled. Next door, we also cover Coon Rapids and Lino Lakes.

Pricing
What decides your junk car’s value
Every offer is based on your specific vehicle, not a flat rate. These are the factors that move the number.
Year, make and model
Some models have parts that are in steady demand, which raises what they are worth.
Weight
Heavier vehicles carry more steel, so trucks, SUVs and vans usually bring more as scrap.
Whether it runs
A running or easy-to-fix vehicle can be resold or parted out, which beats scrap value.
Damage and rust
Frame damage, fire or heavy rust lowers the value of the body and parts.
Missing parts
The catalytic converter, engine, transmission and wheels each add real value when present.
Scrap metal prices
Steel and metal prices move with the market, so we price on today’s numbers.

Eco-friendly car recycling
Your junker, recycled the right way
A car left sitting in a yard slowly leaks oil, coolant and battery acid. When you sell it to us, it goes to a licensed recycler and gets handled under Minnesota environmental rules. Industry groups estimate roughly 80% of a vehicle by weight can be recycled.
Fluids captured
Oil, coolant, fuel and brake fluid are drained and collected, so they never reach the soil or storm drains.
Hazards removed
Batteries, mercury switches, refrigerant and tires are pulled and sent to proper recycling.
Parts reused
Good engines, panels and parts go back on the road, which saves the energy of making new ones.
Metal recycled
The steel and other metals are crushed, shredded and melted down into new products.
