After receiving a quote, you’ll have 7 days to accept the offer. 

Upon accepting our offer, you tell us the time and day that works best for our local towing partner to come pick up your car. They’ll perform a quick check of the vehicle to make sure everything is as it should be, and hand you  the payment.

If you’re in the U.S….YES! You can sell your car to us from anywhere within the United States.

After accepting our offer, the carrier assigned to pick up your vehicle will typically contact you within a day or so in order to schedule the pickup. How fast it actually takes depends on the availability of both you and the carrier.

Yes! We buy vehicles in every condition…good, bad and REALLY bad! We’re talking blown-engine, missing wheels, junky-as-can-be junkyard bad. Contact us for a quote and let’s see what we can do for you!

Depending on its condition, your car might be resold or recycled. We work with tons of car buyers, junk yards, salvage yards, recyclers and wholesalers nationwide so that we can make the very best decision for each car.

Nope! As long as the title is signed in advance, the owner does not need to be present. Just ask your carrier if you can stand in for the vehicle owner when they call you to schedule pickup. If for some reason they are not able to accommodate, call us at (833) 757-1426 to discuss other options.

No problem! Just log into your account to check the offer status or to cancel.
To cancel, simply click Decline. Piece of cake.

All loans and liens must be paid off before we can purchase your car.

Although your carrier will handle just about everything, a few things you could do include: empty your car of all personal belongings; make sure the car is easily accessible to the tow truck; have keys and title readily available; and be prepared to remove your license plate on pickup day.

If your car is safe to drive, doesn’t have any MAJOR mechanical issues, and moves under its own power when in gear…then it is considered driveable.

If all of the above checks out, you have the keys available and a working battery in the vehicle…then you’re  all set!

YES! We have made offers on cars in just about any condition. Request an offer and let’s see what we can do.

You’ll get paid for your car the minute you hand us the title and keys. It’s that easy! If for some reason you’re unable to be present at time of pickup, we’ll mail your payment.

NONE! You never have to pay to use SellOrJunkMyCar.com, our service is completely free.

An offer is only locked in once you’ve accepted it. Our buyers can change their offers at any time prior to acceptance. The offer could also change prior to acceptance for other reasons, including a change in zip code where the car is located, incorrect VIN provided or a change to the vehicle’s condition. 

Your carrier will typically call within 1-2 days to schedule pickup of your vehicle. If you’re worried that your vehicle might be impounded or towed, call your carrier directly to inquire about expedited pickup options. To obtain your carrier’s information, log into your account or check your email and/or text messages for information about your carrier. If you’re unable to reach them, call us at (833) 757-1426 for help.

Nope! Once you accept an offer, we may ask you to send in photos and paperwork…but you won’t have to take your car anywhere for an appraisal or inspection. We come to you!

This depends on your carrier. Be sure to tell them before scheduling pickup if your vehicle is in a garage and can’t be moved, so that they can inform you whether-or-not they have the equipment necessary to remove it. If they are unable to accommodate, call us at (833) 757-1426 to make other arrangements.

We do buy cars without keys, though it could pose certain issues. Be sure to note that “the vehicle doesn’t start” before scheduling your pickup. If your carrier isn’t able to accommodate, call us at (833) 757-1426 and we’ll help you out.

When filling out your vehicle’s information, be sure to choose “do not have title” and/or “vehicle does not start” in the case of missing keys. At that point, you can move forward with scheduling. We (or your carrier) will let you know if other arrangements need to be made.

No. In order to keep our process as simple as possible, our offers are hassle (and haggle!) free. Assuming all of the information you provided is accurate, and that there are no changes to the vehicle after receiving your offer, then rest assured your offer is 100% accurate.

Not a penny! Your carrier will pick up your car absolutely free of charge.

To avoid having our carriers cart around large sums of cash, most payments are made via check. This helps ensure their safety while providing a paper trail for the sale of your car.

In rare cases our carriers can pay in cash, but the decision is up to them. Feel free to ask your carrier directly if they can accommodate a cash payment after you have accepted an offer.

You might be able to sell your car with the title in the name of a deceased individual if you can provide additional documentation. After accepting an offer, contact your carrier to discuss your options and whether additional information is required in order to continue with the process. If they are unable to accept the title as is, you will need to transfer it to your name before we can buy your car.

Contact your local DMV with questions about transferring a title.

Yes! Many of our buyers do purchase vehicles that don’t have a title. When submitting an offer request, be sure to choose “do not have title.”

Once your car is paid off, it is the lien holder’s responsibility to inform the DMV. If the lien holder hasn’t done so, contact them directly to obtain a lien release. This will serve as proof that your lien has been paid off.

Yes! Be sure to let your carrier know that the title is in the name of a business before scheduling pickup. They’ll let you know what’s needed to show that you are an authorized signer for the business.

No problem! We can still buy your car, though the state where your title was issued may require certain information. Contact us at (833) 757-1426 for state-specific information related to your title.

We always do our best to accommodate sellers in every situation. However, the title does need to be with the vehicle when it is picked up.

If you’re unable to arrange this, give us a call at (833) 757-1426. We’ll do everything we can to accommodate or help you make other arrangements.

Sure! As long as the title is signed properly, you’re good to go.

Just make sure you discuss with the driver beforehand and let them know where you’ll leave the title for them.

Absolutely! Just be sure you  have the current title.

Answers to these questions will vary by state. Contact us at (833) 757-1426 for state-specific title information.

As long as your documentation is transferrable and the information you submitted is accurate, then we’ll assign a carrier to schedule a pickup of your vehicle.

If, on the other hand, we require additional information or documentation from you, we’ll contact you via phone or email.

If you submitted your photos more than 3 business days ago, call us at (833) 757-1426 for an update.

In order to provide you with an offer, we require photos of your car so that we can inspect its condition. Your offer expires 7 days after you accept it. If you’re unable to send photos within that timeframe, you will need to submit a new offer request (which is quick and easy!). If you already submitted photos, we will review and assign a carrier that will contact you to schedule a pickup.

Revolutions Per Minute (RPM’s) inform a driver how fast the crankshaft spins as the car speeds up or slows down. It appears on the instrument cluster near the steering  wheel and resembles the image below. If SellOrJunkMyCar.com is reviewing photos of your car, and you noted that your car starts, then we might require a photo of the RPM’s above zero to demonstrate that it starts.

To take this photo, turn your car on and see if the RPM’s are above zero. If so, take a picture of the instrument cluster. If not, press the gas just a touch and take a photo of the instrument cluster.
