What do I need to sell my junk car in Rochester?
To sell your junk car in Rochester you need to prove ownership of the vehicle. This means:
- ✓Have the vehicle title in your name plus a matching photo ID
- ✓Or have current registration in your name plus a matching photo ID
New York Title Rules
Lost the title? Most states let you request a duplicate or certified copy from the DMV, or sell using registration if you are the registered owner. We also buy cars with a salvage or rebuilt title. At pickup you sign the title over to us, and filing a release of liability with your DMV keeps you off the record once the car is gone.

What to Know Before You Sell Your Junk Car
A few things that make the Rochester pickup go smoothly.
We complete the Bill of Sale on-site. It records the transfer and protects you, and you keep a copy at pickup.
Have the VIN ready. We match it against your paperwork before paying.
Keep your license plates. In New York the plates stay with you, not the car. Pull them before the flatbed loads up.
Clear any lien first. A loan or lien on the title must be released before the sale. We can explain what the lender needs.
Cancel registration and insurance. Once the car is sold, drop both so you stop paying on a vehicle you no longer own.
Pull your personal belongings. Check the trunk, glovebox, and under the seats. Anything left goes with the car.
No pressure.
