Non-Running cars we buy in Bristol
Cars that don't start are our specialty. Free towing is always included — you never need to get the car running to sell it to us.
Bristol has about 60,223 residents in Hartford County.
Our free form refers Bristol sellers to an online offer for non-running vehicles. If accepted, the buyer arranges towing from an accessible location in Hartford County.
What counts as a non-running car?
Won't start, dead battery, seized engine, blown head gasket, transmission failure, electrical issues — if it can't be driven onto a flatbed, we still want to buy it.
Most cars we purchase don't run. Our offers already assume the worst, so non-running condition usually won't drop your price further.
Free towing — always
Every non-running pickup includes a free flatbed tow. You don't need to push, jump-start, or move the car at all. The driver will winch it from your driveway, yard, or street.
How much is a non-running car worth?
Even non-runners have real value — the catalytic converter, engine block, transmission, body panels, and scrap metal all generate offer dollars.

Selling a junk car in Connecticut: title & DMV rules
Connecticut requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Bristol driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Connecticut does not normally require a bonded title for a junk sale. A duplicate title (H-6B (Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title)) or, for scrap-only sales, a licensed-recycler affidavit is the usual route. The duplicate-title paperwork in Connecticut is H-6B (Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title).
- License plates
- Remove the plates and return them to the Connecticut DMV to cancel the registration — this is required to avoid insurance-lapse penalties.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Cancel registration when you surrender plates and keep the DMV receipt with your bill of sale.
- What Connecticut salvage buyers must do
- Connecticut does not title the oldest model years, so many junk cars move on a bill of sale and prior registration. For titled vehicles, file H-6B for a duplicate. Plates must go back to the DMV — that surrender is what closes the registration and protects you from insurance-lapse penalties.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as CT requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current CT payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in Connecticut.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Connecticut DMV.
