If you have questions about filling our or sending in your release of liability form, our junk car buying experts will walk you through the process and help to make sure you file the form correctly.

I just put in a new battery will that add to the value of my car?

Please tell us about all new parts on your car. While a new battery may not add whole lot of value, if you have also added other new parts we will take all that into condition and try to get you the most money possible for your car.

If you don't have an insurance policy, just contact Rusty's right away.
