โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about selling your junk car for cash.

๐Ÿ” General Questions

๐Ÿ’ต How much can I get for my junk car?

The value of your junk car depends on several factors including the year, make, model, condition, and current scrap metal prices. Most junk cars are worth between $100 and $500, but some vehicles in better condition can be worth significantly more. We provide instant, no-obligation quotes based on the current market value of your vehicle.

๐Ÿšš Do you charge for towing?

No, we provide free towing for all vehicles we purchase. Our service includes pickup from your location at no additional cost. The price we quote you is the amount you'll receive, with no hidden fees or deductions for towing services.

โฑ๏ธ How quickly can you pick up my car?

We offer same-day pickup in most areas, depending on our schedule and your location. When you accept our offer, we'll work with you to arrange a pickup time that's convenient for you. In most cases, we can remove your vehicle within 24-48 hours of accepting our offer.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ What areas do you serve?

We buy junk cars in cities and towns across the United States. Our network of junk car buyers covers most major metropolitan areas and many smaller communities. You can check our cities page to see if we serve your specific location, or simply contact us with your location details.

๐Ÿ“ The Selling Process

๐Ÿ”„ What is your process for buying junk cars?

Our process is simple and straightforward:

  1. Request a quote online or by phone with your vehicle details
  2. Accept our offer if you're satisfied with the price
  3. Schedule a convenient pickup time
  4. Meet our driver who will inspect the vehicle and handle paperwork
  5. Receive payment on the spot and we'll tow your car away for free

The entire process is designed to be hassle-free and can often be completed within 24-48 hours.

๐Ÿš— Do you buy cars that don't run?

Yes, we buy cars in any condition, including vehicles that don't run. Our towing equipment can handle non-running vehicles, and we'll still offer you a fair price based on the value of the parts and materials. In fact, we specialize in buying junk cars that other buyers might reject.

๐Ÿงพ What paperwork do I need to sell my junk car?

In most cases, you'll need:

  • The vehicle title (certificate of ownership)
  • A valid photo ID (driver's license or state ID)
  • Vehicle registration (in some states)
  • Any lien release documents (if applicable)

If you don't have the title, contact us to discuss alternative options. In some states and situations, we may be able to work with you even without a title.

๐Ÿ”ง Do I need to remove any parts before selling?

No, you don't need to remove any parts from your vehicle. In fact, removing valuable parts may decrease the value of your offer. We'll take the car as-is, including all parts and components. However, you should remove all personal belongings from the vehicle before our driver arrives.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Payment Questions

๐Ÿ’ต How do you pay for junk cars?

We pay cash on the spot when we pick up your vehicle. Our driver will hand you the payment at the time of pickup, after completing the necessary paperwork and inspection. We believe in straightforward transactions with no delays in payment.

๐Ÿฆ Do you offer other payment methods besides cash?

While cash is our primary payment method, we can sometimes accommodate other payment options such as business checks or electronic payments in certain situations. Please discuss your preferred payment method with us when accepting the offer, and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

โš ๏ธ Are there any hidden fees?

No, there are absolutely no hidden fees in our process. The amount we quote you is the amount you'll receive. We don't charge for towing or paperwork processing, and we won't deduct any fees from your payment. Our business model is built on transparency and fair dealing.

๐Ÿ“„ Title & Legal Questions

๐Ÿ“ Can you buy my car without a title?

In most states, a title is required to legally sell a vehicle. However, we understand that titles can be lost or damaged. In some states and situations, we may be able to purchase your vehicle with alternative documentation such as a registration and bill of sale. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and we'll let you know what options are available in your state.

๐Ÿ” What if my name is not on the title?

If your name is not on the title, you'll need to have the titled owner present during the sale to sign the title transfer. Alternatively, you can obtain a properly signed title transfer from the owner before our pickup. We cannot purchase a vehicle unless the title transfer is properly executed by the person named on the title.

โš–๏ธ Do I need to notify the DMV after selling my junk car?

Yes, in most states, you should notify the DMV after selling your vehicle to ensure you're no longer responsible for it. This typically involves submitting a release of liability or notice of transfer form. Our driver can provide information about this process, but it's ultimately your responsibility to notify your state's DMV about the sale.

โ™ป๏ธ Environmental Questions

โ™ป๏ธ What happens to my car after you buy it?

After purchasing your vehicle, we typically process it in one of several ways depending on its condition:

  • Salvageable parts are removed and resold
  • Fluids are properly drained and recycled or disposed of according to environmental regulations
  • The remaining metal is crushed and recycled
  • In some cases, vehicles in better condition may be refurbished or sold at auction

We follow all environmental regulations to ensure proper handling and recycling of vehicle materials.

๐ŸŒฑ Is selling my junk car environmentally friendly?

Yes, selling your junk car to a reputable buyer like us is environmentally responsible. Recycling vehicles keeps them out of landfills and allows for the proper disposal of potentially harmful fluids and materials. Additionally, recycling metal requires significantly less energy than producing new metal from raw materials, reducing the overall environmental impact.
