A junk car in New Brighton is worth more sold than sitting. We buy junk and unwanted cars for cash, tow them free and pay you at pickup. Offers usually take minutes, and same-day pickup is often available.
New Brighton is built around the I-35W and I-694 interchange, so local drivers spend a lot of time on two of the busiest freeways in the north metro. That kind of traffic, combined with salt and slush every winter, wears down even well-kept cars. Many of the junkers we buy in New Brighton are older commuters with transmission or engine trouble, cars with rust that failed a safety check, or second vehicles that sat in a garage until they stopped starting. We’ll take any of them.

New Brighton Junk Car Towing: Neighborhoods, Condos and Everything Between
We pick up junk cars across New Brighton – the residential streets near Long Lake Regional Park, the neighborhoods on both sides of I-35W, and the apartment, condo and senior housing communities around the city. Shared lots and underground garages are common here. Let us know the building, the stall number and any height limits so we can plan the tow.
The freeway interchange is part of the story. Daily I-35W and I-694 commuting puts a lot of stop-and-go miles on transmissions and brakes. Salt kicked up by heavy traffic speeds up rust underneath. Cold snaps kill batteries and starters, and spring potholes take out tires and alignments. When repairs start piling up, our junk car removal service gets the car out of your space and puts cash in your hand.
Getting ready is simple:
- Find the Minnesota title and sign it as the seller. If it’s lost, call (763) 226-3586 and ask about ordering a duplicate from DVS.
- Clear out the car and remove toll or parking tags.
- If it’s in a managed lot, let the property manager know a tow truck is coming.
- Cancel insurance after pickup and report the sale to DVS within 10 days.
New Brighton also has a lot of older single-family homes with single-stall or tuck-under garages. If a car has been parked in one for a long time, the tires may be flat and the brakes may be stuck. We can usually still pull it out. Tell us how much room there is in front of the car and whether the garage door opens all the way.
Every car goes to a licensed recycler, where fluids and batteries are removed under Minnesota rules. We also cover nearby Shoreview and Fridley.

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.
