My car engine died, working with a mechanic, we decided getting new, refurbished and even a junkyard motor didn't make sense on an 8-year-old, high milage car. I started an online search for how to dispose of a "junk" car. I received dozens of replies. Though not quite the highest offer ($100 diff) dealing with Jim made me comfortable with the process and more confident that there no scams or gimmicks connected with his offer. After deciding to use Kelly and specifically deciding to work with Jim, the process was exactly as he described. I'd work with Jim at Kelly Car Buyers again, though hopefully, that won't happen. Thanks Jim - Bob

Always my place for any automotive part I need, from the tires to the top, you won't find better pricing or better service anywhere.
One of the last places in the midwest / Chicagoland where you can find older cars. Reasonable prices.
The best place for the truly old school experience. I drove from Chicago, they had what I need truly great people.

The worst place to go to pick up a car, only two trucks and the wait is more than 40 minutes and without reducing the time and also the office is empty, if you try to see why they do not notify you to arrest you, they always treat you well evil. I recommend that if you can avoid this place do it
I stopped by on January 27th, 2023. The sign on the door stated that they closed to the public on November 1st. It went on to state that they were "remodeling" the yard and would reopen in a few months. I believe that they buy junk cars at this location, but they don't sell parts. If you are looking to buy parts, call first to see if they have reopened. They don't mention the closure on Facebook or their website.

I highly recommend them. They were honest with and treated me like family. Received a good amount for my vehicle.

My car was sitting in storage for 2 years and it was time to let it go. I called TMI and the service was seamless! Very easy and they came to my home and picked up the junk car. Cash within 15 mins. Thank you again gentlemen!
I was looking for a place that purchased old vehicles, I called and they were here within an hour. Walter was friendly and professional. I will definitely refer them to people in need. Thank you.
Fast and simple experience!
