How Fast Can You Turn a Junk Car Into Cash? A Step-by-Step Guide

Got an old car sitting in your driveway, rusting, not starting, or maybe even impounded? You’re probably wondering: how quickly can you convert that junk into cash—without the headache of selling privately? With AACME Auto Parts in Hendricks County, that transformation is faster than you think. Let’s walk through the process step by step.

1. Initial Contact – Tell Us About Your Car

First things first — reach out. Call AACME at (317) 539-5000 or use their online quote form. On the website, they’ll ask for basic vehicle details—make, model, condition—so they can calculate a fair offer.

This step typically takes just 5–10 minutes. You don’t need to worry about every piece of paperwork; AACME often helps handle title issues in many cases.

2. Free Quote and Offer — Usually Within Minutes

Once you’ve shared your car details, AACME provides a free quote right away—no days of back-and-forth emails or haggling. They evaluate factors like condition, location, and whether the car runs. You’ll get a transparent offer with no hidden fees.

This quoting step can take as little as 10–15 minutes (or less if everything’s straightforward).

3. Schedule Pickup / Free Towing

Once you accept the offer, AACME arranges to pick up your car for free—whether it’s parked at home, in your garage, or sitting in an impound yard.

Depending on your location and timing, you might even get same-day pickup. This stage often takes just a few hours.

4. Get Paid On the Spot

Here’s the sweet part — when the tow truck shows up, you get cash immediately. No delays. No checks. No waiting.

That means you can turn your junk car into cash within hours of contacting AACME.

5. Impound Yard Options (If Your Car Is Already Towed)

If your car is already impounded, AACME has your back with dedicated impound yard services. They safely store vehicles until claims, returns, or disposal.

If your car is stuck in a tow lot, AACME can help you recover or process it faster, instead of letting it sit indefinitely.
In some cases, they can even help turn your impounded vehicle into a cash sale—a win-win for your wallet and peace of mind.
