Junk Car Removal
Fast, hassle-free removal of old, damaged, or unwanted vehicles from your property.

Why You Should Remove That Junk Car
That old car sitting in your driveway or backyard is not just taking up space. It is also an eyesore, a potential safety hazard, and possibly a violation of local ordinances. Junk cars leak fluids that can contaminate soil and groundwater. They attract pests like rodents and insects. And they can lower your property value if you ever decide to sell your home.
At TrueWay Encinitas Towing, we make junk car removal simple and stress-free. Whether your car is broken down, too old to repair, or just taking up space, we will haul it away quickly and professionally. You do not need to worry about finding a buyer, dealing with paperwork, or figuring out how to transport it. We handle everything from start to finish.
What Qualifies as a Junk Car?
A junk car is any vehicle that is no longer safe or practical to drive. This includes vehicles with major mechanical problems, extensive body damage, or expired registration that would cost more to fix than the car is worth. Here are some common signs that your car qualifies as junk:
- Engine failure: If your engine is beyond repair or the cost of fixing it exceeds the car's value, it is time to consider removal.
- Severe rust and corrosion: Rust can compromise the structural integrity of your vehicle, making it unsafe and difficult to repair.
- Accident damage: If your car was totaled in an accident and the insurance company declared it a loss, it is a junk car.
- Transmission problems: Transmission repairs are expensive, and sometimes it is more practical to remove the vehicle than fix it.
- Too old to be worth repairing: If your car is old and requires constant repairs, removing it may be the smartest financial decision.
- No registration or expired tags: If you cannot legally drive your car because it is not registered, and you do not want to go through the process of renewing it, removal is a good option.
Even if your car does not run at all, we can still remove it. Our tow trucks are equipped to handle vehicles in any condition, including those with flat tires, missing parts, or severe damage.
How Our Junk Car Removal Process Works
Removing your junk car with us is easy. Here is how it works:
Step 1: Call Us for a Quote
Contact us at (760) 456-4064 and tell us about your vehicle. We will ask for basic details like the make, model, year, and condition. Based on this information, we will provide a free quote for removal.
Step 2: Schedule a Pickup Time
Once you accept the quote, we will schedule a convenient time to pick up your junk car. We work around your schedule and can often come the same day or next day.
Step 3: We Haul It Away
Our team arrives with a tow truck, loads your junk car, and hauls it away. You do not need to do anything except hand over the keys and any paperwork. The entire process usually takes less than an hour.
After we remove your car, we will take it to a licensed salvage yard or recycling facility. Many parts of your vehicle can be recycled, including the metal, glass, and certain components. This environmentally friendly approach ensures that your junk car is disposed of responsibly.
