Blown head gasket, seized motor, rod knock, misfires, overheating, or a slipping transmission—if it’s not worth repairing, we’ll still buy it. Tell us what happened and whether it still rolls; we’ll dispatch the right truck and lock your price.

Common situations we buy

• Engine seized, hydrolocked, or severe oil starvation
• Transmission slipping, stuck in one gear, or no reverse
• Overheated vehicles with warped heads
• Timing chain/belt failure (no-start)

What helps your quote

• Complete vehicle (converter, battery, wheels present)
• Whether it rolls/steers, and parking location
• Accurate damage description and mileage

High mileage, multiple issues, or parked for years—if it’s a headache, we’ll make it easy. Quotes reflect metal/parts value and local demand.

Examples

• Rust, hail, or cosmetic damage everywhere
• Missing interior panels, damaged seats, broken glass
• Expired registration, failed smog, abandoned projects
• Missing parts (converter, battery, wheels)

What we need

• Basic details (year/make/model/trim, mileage)
• Title status and where the car is parked

Water or fire damage? We buy vehicles with insurance write-offs or branded titles. Share how high the water reached or the areas affected by heat/smoke, and whether the vehicle still rolls.

Good to know

• Salvage branding and disclosures vary by state
• Seawater exposure and burnt harnesses impact value
• EV/hybrids may require extra safety steps—tell us upfront

What we’ll ask

• Waterline (carpet, seat cushion, dashboard, higher)
• Fire location (engine bay, interior, trunk) and extent
• Photos if available—helps lock your offer

No start, dead battery, or “stuck in park”? That’s our specialty. We send the right equipment (winch, dollies, or wheel-lift) and stage safely if access is tight.

Tell us

• If the vehicle rolls/steers and where it’s parked
• Ground surface (gravel, dirt, slope) and access notes (gates, carport)
• Whether keys are available (not always required)

Insurance total loss, deployed airbags, or frame damage? We purchase salvage and rebuilt titles, and we’ll coordinate with shops, yards, or storage lots for releases.

Helpful details

• Impact locations and major parts missing
• If suspension/axles are intact for loading
• Title brand (salvage, rebuilt, non-repairable)

Lost your title? In many states we can still help with extra verification or a duplicate-title path. Rules vary, but we’ll outline your exact options and paperwork.

Typically required

• Government-issued photo ID for the titled owner(s)
• Proof of ownership where allowed (registration, bill of sale)
• Lien release if a loan was recorded

Note: Some states require the title for sale, and signatures/notarization may apply. Tell us your situation and state—we’ll advise.

Prefer to donate your vehicle? We can help coordinate pickup and transfer to a recognized charity in many areas. Towing is still free; donation receipts are issued by the charity.

How donation works

• We schedule a free pickup and transfer paperwork
• A qualifying nonprofit receives the vehicle or proceeds
• You receive a receipt from the charity after processing

Disclaimer: Availability and paperwork vary by state and charity. We don’t provide tax advice—consult a professional regarding deductions.
