The I-35 split and what it does to cars
Burnsville is where I-35W and I-35E split heading north and merge heading south. For a lot of residents, that means daily drives on one of the busiest freeway stretches in the south metro, plus MN-13 along the Minnesota River. Highway miles add up fast, and so does wear from Minnesota winters: salt on the undercarriage, potholes on the suspension, and cold starts on the battery and engine.
When the repairs start outpacing what the car is worth, selling is often the smarter move. We’ll make you an offer on the car as it is, and you won’t need to put another dollar into it.
What we buy
We buy cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, cargo vans and motorcycles. Condition affects the offer, not whether we’ll buy it:
- Running vehicles you no longer need
- Non-running vehicles with failed engines, transmissions or electrical problems
- Wrecked and damaged vehicles, including hail, flood and fire damage
- High-mileage vehicles at the end of their service life
- Salvage and rebuilt titles

What if my car broke down and is somewhere other than home?
It happens. If your car died at work, in a parking lot or at a repair shop, we can often pick it up there, as long as the property allows it and you can meet the driver to sign the title and get paid. Let us know exactly where the vehicle is, and if it’s at a shop, ask them about any storage fees or release requirements before pickup.
If the car is on the shoulder of a highway, safety comes first. Follow law enforcement instructions and get the car somewhere safe. Once it’s off the road, we can help.

Our pickup checklist covers a few more details.
How we figure your offer
We look at the year, make, model and mileage, whether the vehicle runs and drives, and any damage or rust. Title status matters, and so does any loan on the vehicle. For junk cars, weight and current metal prices drive most of the value, with reusable parts and the catalytic converter adding to it. We don’t publish one-size-fits-all prices, because no two vehicles are the same.
Minnesota title steps
Every owner on the title signs. If there’s a loan, the lien has to be released before the transfer; we can often pay your lender directly. Model year 2011 and newer vehicles require an odometer disclosure on the title transfer.
Within 10 days after the sale, report it to Minnesota DVS online or at a deputy registrar office. Standard plates generally stay with the car, and personalized plates can usually be kept, but confirm with DVS. Cancel the insurance and remove personal items.

Frequently asked questions
Can you pick up my car from a repair shop in Burnsville?
Often, yes. Let the shop know a tow truck is coming, settle any fees they require, and make sure you can meet the driver or arrange the title signing with us. Call (763) 226-3586 to plan it.
Do you serve both Burnsville ZIP codes?
Yes. We pick up anywhere in 55306 and 55337.
My car has a blown engine. Is it still worth selling?
Yes. A blown engine reduces the value, but the rest of the vehicle, including its metal, parts and catalytic converter, still has worth. We’ll make an offer based on its condition.
How fast will I get paid?
You’re paid on the spot at pickup, before the vehicle is towed away.
