Who We Are

The Best Cash for Cars Service in Reno

When your once reliable car starts to cost you and toe the line of unreliability, it would make sense to make an informed decision. We are here to help with that decision-making. Your aging vehicle is past its prime and the best way to move forward is through our simple process. We can pick your car up for free anywhere in Reno, NV and hand you the payment you deserve for your vehicle. Any paperwork can be processed with our help if needed and you will be on your way to looking for another vehicle before you know it.

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.
