Who We Are

The Best Cash for Cars Service in Austin

When an older vehicle stops being dependable, it can really create problems. In fast cities like Austin, you need a car you can depend on. Your car sitting near the I-35 or in a crowded apartment complex only leads to frustration. We are a dedicated junk car buyer willing to ease your frustrations. We want to buy your junk car through our straightforward process and turn that hunk of metal into cash.

How It Works

Most people assume getting cash for junk cars is hard. It's not. You can go from getting a quote to getting paid for your old, damaged, or unwanted car within 24 hours. Here's how our easy process works.

Share Your Car's Details

Start the process of getting cash for your junk car by sharing basic details online or by phone. Tell us the vehicle's year, make, model and honest condition. The more accurate you are, the more accurate our offer will be (and the less chance of any adjustments at pickup).

Get an Instant Offer

View your guaranteed offer to sell your car immediately. If you like the price, accept it and select a day and time for the removal. Most pickups happen within 24 hours. Don't like it? No pressure. Your offer remains valid for 5 days.

Get Paid at Pickup

The tow truck driver arrives, does a quick inspection of the vehicle, verifies ownership, helps you with the title paperwork, and pays you on the spot. All before he hooks up your vehicle and tows it away. The whole thing takes 5 to 15 minutes.

The Reaper's Way

Dead Simple

Sell your junk car right from your phone without leaving your house.

No Scary Surprises

There's no bait and switch here. The price we quote is the price we pay.

No Ghosting

Our tow truck drivers stay in contact with you and arrive on time.
