How It Works

Three simple steps between "I want to sell my car" and cash in hand.

01

Get the Offer

Enter your VIN or license plate and a few details about your car's condition. Our system generates a real cash offer in seconds — no obligation to accept.

02

Schedule Pickup

Accept your offer and pick a pickup window that works for you. We come to your driveway, office, or repair shop — free towing included, even for non-running cars.

03

Instant Payment

Hand over the keys and title, and our driver hands you a check on the spot. No waiting for a bank transfer or a check in the mail.

What You'll Need

  • Your vehicle's title (or see our team if it's missing — requirements vary by state).
  • A valid photo ID matching the name on the title.
  • The keys, if available (we can still make an offer without them).

What Condition Can My Car Be In?

Any condition. Running or not, damaged, high-mileage, or totaled — we make an offer either way. See our repair estimate vs. cash offer comparison if you're weighing whether to fix it up first.

The Problems We're Built to Avoid

Ask around and you'll hear the same three stories from Texas sellers: the price that dropped once the tow truck arrived, the "free" towing that quietly came out of the check, and the buyer who never transferred the title — leaving toll bills and tickets in the seller's name for months. Our process is designed around those exact failure points: the quote you accept is the amount you're paid, towing never touches your payout, and we walk you through filing the Vehicle Transfer Notification (Form VTR-346) with TxDMV so your liability ends the day the car leaves. If something about your situation is complicated — no title, a lien, an inherited vehicle — tell us first and we'll map out the right path before the truck ever rolls.
