Farmington sellers get a free tow and cash in hand when they sell a junk car to us. We buy cars, trucks, vans and SUVs in any condition, offers usually take minutes, and same-day pickup is often available in Farmington.
Farmington sits at the southern edge of the metro, where newer subdivisions meet open Dakota County farmland. Many residents commute north on MN-3 or head west to I-35 every day, and those winter miles on salted roads wear cars down. Out on the rural edges of town, it’s common to find an old pickup or a retired car parked by the shed. We buy both – the tired commuter with a bad transmission and the farm truck that hasn’t moved in years.

Turning Farmington Junkers Into Cash, In Town or Out on the Farm
Our trucks cover all of Farmington. In town, that means the older streets around Downtown Farmington and the Vermillion River, the newer neighborhoods on the north and west sides, and townhome lots near MN-3. Outside town, we pick up from farms and acreage along MN-50 and the surrounding township roads. If the vehicle is in a field or a shed, tell us how to get there and whether the ground is firm.
The reasons vary with the location. Commuters wear out brakes, transmissions and exhaust on long drives through the metro. Salt and slush rust out frames and brake lines. Gravel roads and spring frost heaves are hard on suspensions. Farm pickups and old work trucks get used until a blown engine or failed transmission makes repairs pointless.
Practical tips:
- For rural pickups, share a landmark or gate code if the vehicle isn’t visible from the road.
- Missing wheels, flat tires and no keys are all fine – just tell us.
- Have the Minnesota title ready. Old farm vehicles sometimes have paperwork issues, so call (763) 226-3586 and ask.
In town, many of the newer Farmington homes have wide driveways and attached garages, which makes for a quick pickup. Older homes near downtown may have detached garages or narrower drives. Either way, clearing a path to the front of the car helps. On farm properties, frozen ground in winter is often easier for a tow truck than soft fields after the spring thaw.

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.
Junk car questions from Farmington sellers
Do you pick up junk cars from farms outside Farmington?
Yes, we pick up junk cars and trucks from farms and acreage in and around Farmington. Tell us where the vehicle sits, how to reach it and whether the ground is soft. The tow is free, and you’re paid on the spot when the vehicle is loaded.
Can you tow an old farm truck in Farmington with no title?
Possibly. A Minnesota title is normally needed, but some older-vehicle situations can still be worked out, so call and ask. If the title is lost, we’ll explain how to order a duplicate from Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services so the sale can go ahead.
How soon can you pick up a junk car in Farmington?
Same-day pickup is often available in Farmington. Once you accept our offer, we schedule a pickup window that works for you. We can’t promise an exact time, especially for rural pickups, but most Farmington tows happen quickly. You’ll get the offer, usually within minutes, when you call.
Do I have to be there when you pick up my car in Farmington?
Usually, yes, because someone needs to sign the title and receive payment. If you can’t be there, call us before pickup and we’ll talk through what’s possible for your situation.
How do I get paid for my junk car in Farmington?
You’re paid on the spot at pickup. Once you’ve signed the title and handed over the keys, the driver pays you before the car is towed away, so there’s no waiting for a check in the mail.
Do you buy cars that don’t run in Farmington?
Yes. We buy vehicles in Farmington that won’t start, have a blown engine or bad transmission, or have been sitting for years. Because we tow for free, it doesn’t matter whether the car can move under its own power.
