Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you decide
These answers avoid blanket promises. The actual vehicle, ownership documents, location, access, terms, and schedule are confirmed directly.
What should I send for a cash offer?
Send the year, make, model, condition, pickup city, and whether you have the title and keys. Current photos help show damage, missing parts, and the approach to the vehicle. Call or text if you are unsure about a detail.
How much will you pay for my junk car?
The offer depends on the vehicle, its completeness and condition, the pickup location and access, and current demand. Merritt’s explains the offer and any removal charges directly so you can compare the full terms before accepting.
Do you consider cars that do not run?
Yes. Tell us what is wrong, whether all wheels are present, and whether the vehicle rolls and steers. We review non-running and damaged vehicles individually and discuss a suitable pickup plan.
Do you offer emergency roadside towing?
Our vehicle removal is for cars Merritt’s agrees to buy or recycle. For a breakdown, roadside repair, impound release, or transport to a repair shop, contact an appropriate towing or roadside-assistance provider.
Can I sell a car without a title or keys?
Tell us about missing documents or keys before scheduling. Ownership documents and loading access are separate questions. We explain what is needed for your situation; missing-title acceptance is not automatic. Use Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services for official title guidance.
Is pickup free, and how soon can it happen?
Ask about removal costs when we discuss the offer. We confirm any charges and a pickup window for the actual vehicle, location, access, and schedule before you agree. Same-day availability and free pickup are not guaranteed for every job.
Which Twin Cities areas do you serve?
Merritt’s is based in Brooklyn Center and serves Minneapolis, St. Paul, and surrounding Twin Cities communities. Our service-area directory covers the north, south, east, and west metro. Send the exact pickup location so we can confirm availability, access, and terms for your vehicle.
When can I call?
Merritt’s is available by phone open every day, 8:00 am–8:00 pm. You can also text the vehicle details to 763-438-2116.
