Cars that won't run
We buy cars that won't run
TowMaha Junk Cars buys cars that won't start or run across Omaha, Council Bluffs and the metro. You don't jump it, haul it or fix it first, and you don't pay for pickup. Call (531) 205-8614 with the year, make, model and what's wrong, and we'll give you an offer on the phone.
Problems we buy
- Blown or seized engine Knocking, smoking, thrown a rod or locked up for good.
- Bad transmission Slipping, won't shift or won't go into gear at all.
- Won't start Clicks, cranks without firing or is completely dead.
- Overheating Blown head gasket, cracked block or coolant everywhere.
- Sitting for years Flat tires, dead battery and weeds growing around it.
- Missing parts Stripped, partly taken apart or a project that never got finished.
Fixing it vs. selling it
A new engine or transmission can cost more than an older car is worth. Once you add getting it to the shop, the math rarely works out.
Selling it as it sits gets you paid and clears out the driveway. No jump starts, no hauling bill, no shop.
Does it need to roll?
It helps if the tires hold air and the wheels turn, but it isn't required. Tell us how the car is sitting when you call so we bring the right setup.
If it's in a garage, backyard or tight spot, let us know that too.

Common questions
-
Will you buy a car with a blown engine?
Yes. Blown, seized or knocking engines are some of the most common cars we buy. Call (531) 205-8614 with the year, make and model for an offer.
-
Do I need to get it running before you come?
No. Don't spend money on a battery, a jump or hauling it to a shop. We buy it exactly as it sits.
-
What if the tires are flat?
That's fine. Tell us when you call so we know how the car is sitting, and we'll handle the pickup.
-
Is a non-running car worth anything?
Usually, yes. The year, make, model, weight and good parts all count, even if the engine or transmission is gone.
-
Can you get a car out of a garage or backyard?
In most cases, yes, as long as our truck can reach it. Describe where it's parked when you call and we'll let you know.
