About Us – Kelly Car Buyer Philadelphia
We buy junk cars throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. It's not glamorous work, but we're proud of it. When someone's car gives out and they need help, we show up. We've been doing this for twenty years as a family business, and we've learned that the best way to serve people is to keep things simple and straightforward.
John called us from Center City a few months ago. His car had died in a paid parking lot (at $30 a day), and because of low ceiling heights in the building, he couldn't find a towing company willing to commit to the job. Days were passing, eating into whatever the car was still worth, and he was stuck. When he reached out, Jim understood the time constraints and the building challenges. We figured out how to make it work and showed up when no one else would.
That's the kind of situation we handle regularly. Someone needs help, there's a complication that makes it harder than usual, and we find a way to solve it. We don't make promises we can't keep, but when we say we'll be there, we show up.
Sharon in Camden had a different concern. Her son's car needed to go before family arrived for the holidays. She was understandably cautious about filling out forms online and having strangers show up at the house. Faith talked with her initially, and then Jim followed up to confirm all the details. Instead of paying $220 for a tow, Sharon got a few hundred dollars to help with holiday expenses. She told us we made her comfortable throughout the process, which is exactly what we're trying to do.
We're a family operation; Mike started it, Michelle and Jim run it now, with help from other family members. We've earned our A+ BBB rating by being consistent and professional across thousands of transactions. When you call 877-345-3559, you're talking to us directly. No call centers. No runaround. Just people who will explain the process clearly and give you an honest assessment.
What sets us apart isn't just that we're local to Philadelphia. It's that we have national reach into parts markets and understand resale values across the country. We know what scrap metal is trading for in Pennsylvania, but we also know when a transmission or body panel is in demand elsewhere. That knowledge lets us pay fair prices because we're not limited to thinking about your vehicle as scrap weight alone.
We work throughout Philadelphia, Center City, South Philly, the Northeast, and into the suburbs: King of Prussia, Bensalem, Delaware County, and beyond. Wherever you are, if you have a car that's reached the end of its useful life, we'll come get it. We handle the towing for free. We pay on the spot. And we do what we say we'll do.
This is simple, straightforward service that people unfortunately need. We're proud to provide it honestly.
