Junk It Cash - Chicago Advanced Tow, Inc. in Chicago, IL earns a mixed but slightly positive impression: fast pickups, courteous drivers, and cash paid as quoted for many sellers, with some calling pricing top dollar. Yet a sizable minority report long wait times/no-shows, rude dispatch, and alleged bait-and-switch offers (often tied to catalytic-converter claims). Professionalism varies by driver; service feels inconsistent. Little detail on inventory, yard organization, or parts-finding—unclear. Overall score: 71/100. Good for speed, but confirm price in writing and timing.
My friends car broke down and he was told they couldn't fix it. We decided to junk it and called this place. They showed up within an hour. They paid in cash. Overall would recommend!!
When you call these people be sure to say your not sure if the parts they ask you about our original they record your conversation and use that against you to try to take your car at little to no cost at all also do not let them put your car on the bed for them to inspect it. Cause that's what he's gonna proceed to tell you. He needs to do that in order to inspect it but that's just to trap you Because that's how they get you and try to make you Pay them a service fee if you do not agree with the low ball price. They'll try to give you a service fee of about $425 because supposedly, the guy said that my catalyst converter was not an original So then he offered me this low ball price they put you in a corner where either you accept the low ball price Or you have to pay them to put your car back down Stay clear from these people at all costs They came in a red toll truck that said Aries tow beware of them make them expect the car on the ground before they put it up. Don't don't trust these tow truck companies.
Told there was no catalytic converter, got a reduced offer than given over the phone. (I've seen that a lot in further reviews, coincidence? Probably not.) $600 offer is a bait and switch 100%. Negotiated back up to a price everyone else had quoted but it was like pulling teeth. I only signed the paperwork because i wasnt getting anymore money anywhere else and the guy was already there. Soon regretted my decision though because the driver was rude. I tried asking a question after the paperwork was signed and was told, and I quote "I really don't care."
Go somewhere else. They are just out to make a quick buck. "They really don't care" about you.
DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS!!!! They give you the highest offer over the phone just to tell you they can’t give you anything AT ALL in person. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!! They scared my friend into giving the car for free. Talking about “I either take it or you can pay the city to junk it for you”
Was told id have a tow truck by 9am. At 1030am I called and was told I won't have a truck till 12. So I worked threw lunch waiting on the truck. At 1 i needed to leave for chicago. I rearanged my jobs and all my employees work to stay in the suburbs. At 130 pm I called again. I was told 230pm. At 230pm I got a call telling me 330. Finally a driver got here. Nice dude. Offered me half of what I was quoted on the phone. 6 hours late. Job lost waiting. And offered less. The driver was awesome. But dispatch and management need to get it together.
I’m not one for leaving bad reviews but I got a quote for a jeep to get scrapped, got an appointment set up for 8/10 at 1:00 P.M. I waited at the pickup till 1:38 when I called and asked if they had an ETA and was told they were running a bit behind. 2:58 I call again and was quoted an extra 45 minutes, then at 4:40 was quoted 15 minutes, 5:15 I was told they’d call me back in 5 minutes and couldn’t even do that. 5:30 I finally left the pickup location in Naperville and they had still not picked it up. Not once did I get a courtesy call, 4 and a half hours I sat in a parking lot waiting with no consideration. Next time I’d rather drive it without brakes than call these guys. Every call on this screen is to them, same guy as “Broadway Auto Wreckers Ltd“ listing on Google, if you call both numbers you’ll get the same person.
When I called they said tomorrow I was first pick up..then this morning 9 to 10:30.ok fine.over an hour late so far.il be ready for the low-ball offer if they do show.they said 500 on phone after I told him what was wrong.il let you know what the driver offerse if he shows.
I Sold my 2006 Honda Accord in Chicago through JunkIt Cash and couldn’t be happier! They gave me an excellent price — much better than other offers I got. The process was fast, simple, and professional. The driver came on time, inspected the car, and paid cash on the spot. Highly recommend JunkIt Cash if you want a fair deal and hassle-free experience!
I talk to somebody on the phone who said they were going to give me 600 and when they got to my house they tried to give me 150 for my car really unprofessional. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. I called another tow company and they gave me 500 for my car.
Hands down the best junk car service in Chicago! I called Junk It Cash in the morning, got a quote within minutes, and they showed up same day to pick up my old Honda. The driver was super professional and even helped me remove my plates. Best part? They paid me cash on the spot — no haggling, no games. If you’re looking to get rid of your junk car fast and easy, these guys are the real deal. Highly recommend!
Fast, honest, and professional! Sold my old truck to Junk It Cash and the process was smooth from start to finish. They gave me the best offer out of 3 places I called. The tow truck came right on time, and they paid exactly what they promised — no last-minute surprises. I’ll definitely recommend them to friends and family.
Very disappointed with this company, out of all the junk your vehicle companies I was referred to you all and after doing my own research on you all I called and was quoted $550.00 for my truck even without the title. I was told as long as I had my registration they will give me $550.00 well the tow truck gentleman came and low balled me talking about my wheels are steel and not aluminum so they won’t get as much for the vehicle and my Cadillac converter needed to be replaced. I was not once told if those things are missing then I wouldn’t get was what told to me. Then the man tried to argue me down. Such a mess and I will not be doing business with this company anymore nor refer them.
Beware of this company. They promise you one price and then when the tow truck driver shows up they lowball you. He was quoted $500 on a car with key and title. Tow truck driver offered $140 for the car. So this company will just basically tell you what you want to hear and then hopefully strong-arm you into accepting their lowball offer. I would highly recommend dealing with somebody else.
I was so happy I could get rid of our junk car. The driver was so nice and I got service as soon as I called, the driver was here! I recommend junk It cash absolutely! OT was such a wonderful driver. Very polite and professional! Great experience!
I junked my old infinity and nissan they grab both of them the same day and really fast because i had things to do and paid me what they paid top dollar for both of them not disappointed i would highly recommend them
***BEWARE*** this place says they will pay cash for your junk car Once the tow truck driver goes out there he’s the one that determines whether you get anything or not they didn’t give me no cash whatsoever?! I called and they said that it was not original parts give me all kinds of excuses I know for a fact any other junk will give you some type of cash these people won’t give you anything! Complete rip off
There scammers. Called Monday about a car they had. Told the gut I wouldn’t be able to come get the part til Thursday he told me that was fine. Drive almost three hours to get there. When I arrived the guy tells me it’s to late the car is gone. It made me think that either they never had the car or they was using the picture to scam people out of money. I’m just glad I didn’t pay first
