Junk Vehicle Removal Scranton, PA
That dead car is not going to start again, and you already know it. We come to your driveway, lot, alley, or garage in Scranton, load it on the flatbed, and take it out of your life the same day when we can. Flat tires, no keys, no plates, sunk into the mud behind the garage none of that stops the pickup.

- Driveways, lots, garages, alleys

- Straight answers on title paperwork
The junk car is not the problem. What it is costing you is.
Nobody calls a tow company because they love towing. People in Scranton call us because something finally forced the issue. A code enforcement notice showed up about an unregistered vehicle sitting in the yard. A landlord gave a tenant seven days to clear a plot in the shared lot. A husband passed and the pickup he was always going to fix has been under a tarp for four winters. The house sold and settlement is Friday. Snow is coming and the plow guy will not touch a lot with a dead Buick in it.
Every one of those has a deadline attached, and every day the car sits, the problem gets more expensive. Fines add up. Rust bleeds into the concrete. Kids and animals get into a vehicle with broken glass and old fluids in it. Meanwhile the shops that would have paid you something for scrap steel stop returning calls once a car has sat long enough to lose its wheels.
Our job is to make that whole mess a single phone call. You describe the vehicle and where it is parked, we tell you what we can do and when, and then a truck actually shows up. No estimate that changes at the curb, no crew standing around telling you they cannot reach it.
Where we pull vehicles out of
Access is the part most people worry about, and it is the part we plan for before the truck leaves West Gibson Street. Scranton is a city of hillside streets, narrow rear alleys, and hundred-year-old garages built for cars that were smaller than yours.
Homes and driveways
Steep driveways in Green Ridge, gravel side yards in North Scranton, back lawns you would rather we did not rut up. We use skates and boards on soft ground and winch from the street when the drive is too tight.
Garages and carports
A car that has not rolled in a decade still comes out of a single-bay garage. Seized brakes get dollies, missing wheels get skates, and low headroom means we winch flat rather than lifting.
Parking lots and alleys
Apartment complexes, body shops, church lots, business plazas, and abandoned units in rear alleys. Property managers get the paperwork trail they need before we hook anything up.
Every kind of vehicle, not just cars
Sedans, coupes, minivans, and SUVs are the everyday work. We also haul pickup trucks and duallies, cargo and passenger vans, box trucks, flood and fire damaged vehicles, rollovers and collision write-offs, motorcycles and ATVs, camper shells and small travel trailers, work vans stripped of their shelving, and fleet vehicles a business finally retired. If it has a frame and four corners, we have moved one like it.
Condition matters less than people expect. Missing engine, no transmission, cut catalytic converter, doors welded shut by rust, windows gone, half full of leaves all of it is normal. What we do need to know up front is whether fluids are leaking badly and whether the vehicle has been sitting on soil, because that changes how we stage the pickup and protect the ground under it.

How the Pickup Actually Goes
One short phone call
You tell us the year, make, and rough condition, the Scranton address, and where exactly it sits. We tell you what paperwork to have out and give you a real arrival window, not a vague promise.
We handle the recovery
The driver checks the space, protects the surface, and gets the vehicle out without dragging it across your lawn or scraping a neighbor's fender. Tight spots get winched, not muscled.
You get proof it is gone
Paperwork is signed on the spot so the vehicle is documented as released. Keep that receipt. It is what you show a code officer, an insurance company, or PennDOT if anyone asks later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the title to get a junk vehicle towed in Scranton?
A title makes it simple, and we always ask for it first. If it is lost, we can usually still take the vehicle when you can show your ID and something that ties you to the car, such as an old registration, insurance card, or a bill of sale. Call and tell us what paperwork you actually have and we will tell you straight away whether we can haul it.
The car has no keys, flat tires, and has not moved in years. Is that a problem?
No. Most of what we pick up has not started since the Obama administration. Winches, dollies, and skates handle seized brakes, missing wheels, and cars sunk into gravel or grass.
Can you get a vehicle out of a tight garage or back alley?
Usually yes. Narrow Scranton alleys, low garage headroom, and shared driveways are everyday work for us. Tell us the space when you call so we send the right truck instead of one that cannot fit.
How fast can you come out?
Same-day is common when you call in the morning, and next-day is realistic almost always. If your landlord, borough code office, or property manager gave you a deadline, say so and we will work to that date.
