Reclaiming the garage
Fridley is an established inner-ring suburb along the Mississippi, and many of its homes have been in the same families for a long time. That often means a garage or driveway with an older vehicle that’s been there longer than anyone planned — Dad’s old sedan, a pickup from a previous life, a car that was going to be “fixed up.”
A garage clearout is a great time to sell. Maybe you’re downsizing, getting a house ready to sell or just tired of squeezing past a car nobody drives. We’ll make an offer on it as-is and haul it away for free, so you get your space back the same day in many cases.
Estate and family clearouts
If you’re handling a family member’s vehicle, the process is the same, but the title may need extra attention. Every owner listed on the title has to sign. If the owner has passed away, check with Minnesota DVS about how ownership transfers, and call us — we’ll explain what we’d need before pickup.

How pickup works in Fridley
We cover both Fridley ZIP codes, 55421 and 55432. Our trucks get around easily on I-694, University Avenue (MN-47) and Central Avenue (MN-65), so same-day pickup is often available.
Pulling a car out of an older, narrower garage takes a little care. Tell us:
- How the car is positioned and how much space is around it
- Whether the tires hold air
- Whether the steering wheel turns and the car can be put in neutral
- If you have the keys
Our drivers winch vehicles out of tight garages regularly. Once the vehicle is out and confirmed, you sign the title, you’re paid on the spot and we tow it away free.
Is a garage-kept car worth more?
Often, yes. A car stored inside has been protected from snow, sun and much of the road salt that eats Minnesota vehicles from underneath. Body panels and frames on garage-kept cars are frequently in better shape than the same model left outside.
That said, sitting still has its own costs. Tires develop flat spots or crack, seals and gaskets dry out, fuel goes stale and batteries die. Rodents sometimes move in and chew wiring. None of that stops a sale, but it does factor into the offer.
When you call, tell us how long the car has been stored, whether it was started occasionally and what you know about its condition when it was parked. That helps us give you an accurate number.
Minnesota selling basics
All owners on the title sign. Odometer disclosure is required for model year 2011 and newer, so many older garage cars won’t need it. After the sale, report it to Minnesota DVS within 10 days, online or at a deputy registrar. Standard plates generally stay with the vehicle; personalized plates can usually be kept — confirm with DVS. Cancel any insurance still on the car.
Can’t find the title? You can apply for a duplicate through DVS or a deputy registrar. Call (763) 226-3586 and we’ll talk about your situation.
Selling the house too? Plenty of Fridley sellers clear out the vehicle before listing a home, so the garage looks its best for showings. If you’re on a deadline, tell us your timeline when you call and we’ll plan the pickup around it.
Nearby cities we serve
We also buy cars in Coon Rapids to the north and Brooklyn Center across the river, plus Columbia Heights and Spring Lake Park.

Frequently asked questions
Do you pick up in 55421 and 55432?
Yes. We cover all of Fridley in both ZIP codes. Same-day pickup is often available.
Can you get a car out of a small, old garage?
Usually, yes. Our drivers handle tight garages often. Tell us how the car is parked and whether it rolls.
I’m cleaning out a parent’s house in Fridley. Can I sell their car?
Possibly. It depends on whose name is on the title and the situation. Minnesota DVS can explain how ownership transfers, and we’ll tell you what we’d need.
Will you buy an old car that hasn’t been registered in years?
Yes. Lapsed registration doesn’t stop a sale. The title and the vehicle are what matter.
