Who We Are

The Best Cash for Cars Service in Pittsburgh

Winter weather and road salt is a bad combination for an aging vehicle. Continued repairs and maintenance each winter can start to outweigh the value of your vehicle. You never know when that last winter may come and the last thing you want is to be stranded in Pittsburgh with a dead junk car. We want to buy your junk car quickly and efficiently leaving no stone unturned. We can manage your paperwork, arrange your free tow, and pay you on the spot. Act now before taking the risk of another harsh winter.

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.

01

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).

02

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.

03

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.

Dead Simple

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.
