Joe Klecker
Owner & Founder

Family owned. Locally driven.

Camel Towing was started by Joe Klecker with one tow truck and a simple idea: there's a faster, more honest way to buy junk cars in Minnesota. What began in 2010 has grown into a fleet that buys 20–25 vehicles every week — backed by a salvage yard that's been operating since 1995. We're not a faceless online buyer. We're your neighbors in Ham Lake, and we keep it local.

Common questions

Do I need a title to sell my car?
Yes, the vehicle must have a title. You'll also need your keys and a valid ID ready when our driver arrives.
How fast can you pick up my car?
Usually same day. We agree on a time window, and our driver calls 30–45 minutes before arrival. We pick up Monday through Saturday, 8am to 7pm.
Do you charge for towing?
Never. Towing is always 100% free. We come to your location and pick up the vehicle at no cost to you.
How much will I get for my junk car?
It depends on the weight, year, make, and model. A typical junk car pays $200–$300, but late-model or heavier vehicles pay significantly more. We recently paid $5,200 for a 2020 Tesla.
Will you buy a car that doesn't run?
Absolutely. Running, not running, wrecked, flooded, fire damage — we buy anything with a title, in any condition.
Do you sell used auto parts?
Yes. We test everything that's testable and sell used parts with a 101-day warranty. Walk in, order your part, and walk out — often in under 30 minutes.
