The Best Cash for Cars Service in San Francisco

When repairs stop making sense, selling becomes more practical. Junk cars sitting in neighborhoods like the Mission do no good for the city of San Francisco. Street parking is limited and space is tight. Junk Car Reaper is here to solve this fright. We provide a simple, straightforward process to be handled without complication. Competitive quotes, free towing, and cash on the spot for all customers.

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.

Junk Car Reaper

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.

"My 294,000 mile Prius finally blew the engine. Toyota offered me $200 on a trade in and in 5 minutes and a few questions about the car I had an offer for $1140 from Junk Car Reaper. Couldn’t have been easier!"
