Abandoned Vehicle Removal in St. Louis
Abandoned cars don’t just sit quietly. They draw attention for all the wrong reasons. In St. Louis, these vehicles invite trouble, from vandalism to blocked driveways, and they drag down the look and feel of entire neighborhoods. Car Junking STL steps in to remove these headaches fast, following every rule and keeping your property protected.
How We Identify Abandoned Vehicles for Removal
Spotting an abandoned vehicle isn’t always straightforward, but certain signs make the job clear. When a car hasn’t moved for days, sits with expired tags, or shows obvious damage, it’s time to act. Our team looks for:
- No Movement: Vehicles left in the same spot on public streets for more than 48 hours, signaling neglect.
- Expired Tags: Cars with registration lapsed over 30 days, often overlooked by owners.
- Visible Damage: Broken windows, flat tires, or major dents that show the car’s been left behind.
- Safety Hazards: Vehicles blocking driveways, traffic lanes, or emergency routes, creating real risks.
- Stripped Parts: Missing wheels, engines, or other essentials, making the car unusable and unsightly.
With these markers, we help property owners across St. Louis reclaim their space and restore order to their lots and streets.
We Handle Every Step of Legal Removal
When a car sits abandoned, the process to remove it isn’t just a matter of calling a tow truck. There’s paperwork, city rules, and a timeline to follow. Our team manages the entire process, so you don’t have to chase down forms or worry about missing a step. Here’s what we cover:
- Documentation: We take clear photos and keep written records of the vehicle’s condition and exact location.
- Police Report: Filing the official abandoned vehicle report with local authorities to start the legal process.
- Property Notice: Posting the required notice for the set period, making sure every regulation is met.
- Title Search: Checking for active liens or ownership claims before moving forward.
- Removal Permit: Securing the right authorization from city officials to tow the vehicle legally.
By handling each detail, we keep property owners out of legal tangles and ensure the removal stands up to any scrutiny.
