We show up, complete about five minutes of paperwork, give you money and take the car away. Yes, that really is the whole process. Yes, it really is that simple.
We buy Cars, Trucks, Vans and SUVs. Running or not running, wrecked or burned, we'll buy most anything except RVs and motorcycles.
No. We pay cash on the spot for cars, trucks, SUVs and vans that are running or not.
Any condition will do.
RVs, motorcycles or cars that have been stripped too far. We also don't buy cars that don't have a VIN
We know sometimes people buy new batteries, radios and speakers for their car so we allow those items to be removed if you can do it yourself before we arrive to pickup the vehicle. (Sorry, we don’t remove parts.) The more parts you take off, the less we can pay. If you are missing major parts of your car like an engine, transmission or wheels and tires, the purchase price could be lower.
Of course! We come to the location of where your car is whether it’s your home, a mechanic shop, your job, a shopping mall, the side of the highway or a towing yard. In the case of the towing yard, we have to put part of the purchase price towards the towing and storage fees and you get the rest.
No. We can use an old registration if your original registration expired or is close to expiring.
No problem! If the vehicle is registered to someone else, have that person present along with their ID and the registration papers when we come for the sale.
If your junk car is 2008 or newer, we are required by law to collect a title when we buy it. Newer cars are more likely to have a lien on them, so someone still owes money on a vehicle and has to finish paying the vehicle off before the lien holder will release the title.
We are happy to buy cars from 2007 or older without a title. If there is no title, we just ask that you have the registration in your name with a valid ID.
You have to get your first “original” title after a car purchase from your county tag office.
First make sure you have or know where your vehicle’s ownership documents are. After you have your documents in order give us a call, text or email with the description of your vehicle. A description is the year, model, mileage and what’s wrong with the car, if anything.
After you give us the description the next step is the negotiations. Don’t be shy–it wouldn’t hurt to let us know how much you want for the car. I’m sure we can make a deal. After that, we set up an appointment to pick up the car. Our schedule is pretty flexible, and we even buy on Saturdays.
And, of course, you receive CASH IN HAND.
We do as we advertise–We definitely pay cash for junk cars and trucks. As a matter of fact, if anybody tells you they are paying by check, just hang up right away. You shouldn’t let someone get away with your car and title while you’re stuck with a piece of paper that may or may not be useful.
No, our junk process is free. We take care of towing the car away and give you cash at that time. There is no cost to you at all. We get the car. You get the cash.
We’re based in Chattanooga TN, and we pick up vehicles in the metro Chattanooga area. We usually cover everything within a 20 mile radius of downtown Chattanooga.
Before junking your car, it’s a good idea to find out exactly what’s wrong with it, so you can get an accurate quote. You can have a mechanic shop run a diagnostic on it, which usually costs around $90 plus a towing fee if it’s not running. If you don’t want to spend that kind of money on a junk car, you might want to try asking a friend who knows something about cars or just Google it. If you need more help, just call a junk car company. If the company is experienced enough and you can accurately communicate your car’s symptoms, they can tell you what’s wrong with your car over the phone.
Junking your car is a lot easier than selling it. When you’re trying to sell your car to an ordinary buyer, the potential customer most likely has a few choices of cars in mind and is only going to buy one. With a junk car company, we want to buy every car that’s offered to us. It’s just a matter of price. Junk car companies may also be the only ones who will buy your non-running car or truck.
If a car has never been in a serious accident, never had the odometer rolled back and was never bought back by the manufacturer because of a manufacturer’s defect, it’s said to have a clean title. That title is free of any title branding that stipulates a special status for the vehicle and warns potential buyers of a possible problem or issue with the car.
A clean title is also a title that is easily transferable from one party to the next which means:
A salvage title is a title that identifies vehicles that have sustained major damages or have been deemed a total loss. Salvaged vehicles can be rebuilt and inspected to be re-registered.
If your car or truck is in an accident and the cost of repairing the vehicle is a deemed too high compared to the value of the vehicle, your car insurance company will decide not to pay to have it repaired and declare it a total loss.
Your insurance company will then take possession of the car or truck. In some cases, the non-running vehicle gets sold to a repair facility and the vehicle is fixed or rebuilt. The new title that gets issued on the vehicle is called a salvage title. It has the words salvage located in a prominent position on the front of the title
The vehicle identification number or VIN is the identifying code for a specific automobile.
Throughout the VIN’s life it is used to track the vehicle as it changes hands and as it is repaired and serviced.
NO TWO VEHICLES IN OPERATION HAVE THE SAME VIN. A VIN is composed of 17 digits (numbers and capital letters) that act as a unique identifier for the vehicle.
This video will tell you where to find the VIN.
