Cash for cars FAQ
The questions we hear most about selling a car for cash in Houston, from pricing and paperwork to pickup and payment. Don't see yours? Call or text (713) 391-7441 and we'll answer it straight.
Pricing & offers
How much will you pay for my car?+
It depends on the year, make, model, condition, and the market, but every offer is real cash and we don't lowball you at pickup. Trucks, SUVs, and running cars with a title bring the most, and even junk or non-running cars have real cash value. Call or text a few photos and we'll give you a firm number in minutes.
Is the offer really cash, and is it firm?+
Yes. The number we quote on the phone is the number you get, in cash, when we load the car. We don't deduct a tow fee or drop the price once we show up. For higher-dollar vehicles we can also arrange a same-day certified payment if you'd rather not hold cash.
Do you charge anything for the quote or pickup?+
Never. The quote is free, the pickup and towing are free, and nothing gets subtracted from your cash. We make our money on the car itself, not on fees, so removal is always included, running or not.
Title & paperwork
Can I sell my car without the title in Texas?+
Usually, yes. In Texas we can often complete the sale with your photo ID and current registration when the car is in your name with no active loan. If the title is lost, you'd file Form VTR-34 with the TxDMV for a certified copy. Call first and we'll tell you exactly what your situation needs.
What paperwork do I need to sell my car?+
The cleanest sale is a signed title plus your photo ID and current registration. We handle the transfer side with you at pickup and walk you through the Texas steps, including the Vehicle Transfer Notification, so the car is off your name and insurance once it's gone.
Should I take the license plates off and cancel registration?+
Yes. In Texas you keep your plates when you sell, then turn them in or transfer them, and file a Vehicle Transfer Notification with the TxDMV so the car is no longer tied to you. We'll remind you at pickup so nothing comes back on you later.
Condition: running or not
Do you buy cars that don't run?+
Yes, non-running cars are most of what we buy. Dead battery, blown motor, bad transmission, won't start, sitting on flat tires, none of it stops us. We bring a flatbed or wrecker, load it, and pay you cash the same day.
Do you buy wrecked, flooded, or salvage-title cars?+
We do. Houston sees plenty of flood and collision damage, and we still pay cash for those. Wrecked, flooded, hail, fire, rebuilt, or salvage title, tell us what happened and we'll give you an honest number for it.
Do you buy cars without keys or a catalytic converter?+
Yes. No keys, a missing catalytic converter, or stripped parts won't stop an offer. It can shift the number a little, but we still buy the car, tow it free, and pay you cash the same day.
Pickup, payment & timing
How fast can you pick up my car?+
Most Houston pickups happen the same day when you call in the morning, and usually within a day otherwise. We run the whole metro seven days a week, so we'll give you a real arrival window instead of a vague 'sometime today.'
Do I have to be there for the pickup?+
Someone needs to be there to hand over the keys and paperwork and collect the cash, but you don't have to wait around all day. We schedule a window and our driver handles the loading and towing.
Is towing really free?+
Always. We come to you anywhere in the Houston area and tow the car at no charge, running or not. There's never a separate wrecker to call or a trailer to rent.
Vehicles & service area
What kinds of vehicles do you buy?+
Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and minivans, any make or model, running or not. Junk cars, work trucks, family SUVs, cargo vans, project cars, and more. If it has four wheels and a title history in Texas, we're interested.
What areas around Houston do you cover?+
All of Greater Houston plus Galveston County: Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, Spring, The Woodlands, Humble, Pasadena, Baytown, Pearland, League City, Conroe, Galveston, and dozens more towns in between. If you don't see yours, call anyway, the answer is almost always yes.
