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.

Our free form refers El Dorado sellers to an online offer for non-running vehicles. If accepted, the buyer arranges towing from an accessible location in Union County.

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 Arkansas: title & DMV rules
Arkansas requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a El Dorado driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Arkansas uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond — typically 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value — and the Arkansas DFA Office of Motor Vehicle issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Arkansas is Application for Replacement Certificate of Title.
- License plates
- Remove the plate and keep it for transfer or disposal.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Arkansas has no seller notice form; keep the bill of sale and cancel your registration/insurance.
- What Arkansas salvage buyers must do
- Arkansas processes replacement titles through the Office of Motor Vehicle, and uses a bonded-title path when no prior title can be produced. Licensed salvage dealers and scrap buyers can generally purchase an end-of-life vehicle with ID plus a notarized bill of sale.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as AR requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current AR payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in Arkansas.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Arkansas DFA Office of Motor Vehicle.
