Southwest Side areas we pick up from
Which areas does Masters Cash for Junk Cars serve?
Masters Cash for Junk Cars buys and tows junk cars across Chicago's Southwest Side, from Brighton Park and Archer Heights down through Ashburn, and in the suburbs just past the city line, from Summit and Stickney south to Oak Lawn and Evergreen Park. Every place listed below gets the same free tow and the same payment at pickup.
We're a service-area business: there's no yard to visit, and our tow truck comes to you. Ashburn, around 79th Street and Pulaski Road, sits in the middle of the area, so each note below gives a rough drive from there.
