Renters Left a Car on my Property What do I do?

Free Towing, Junk Car, Lost Titles, Misc No Comments »

I get a lot of calls from property owners with an old junk car that was left on their property from a tenant.  I always advise the property owners the same thing. You have to do a certificate of authority also known as a COA. These are very easy to do and allows you to legally dispose of a vehicle, that is abandoned on your property. Once a COA is done the vehicle can never be put back on the road it is marked as salvage. This is a legal way of obtaining the authority to dispose of the vehicle. Once you COA comes in from the state we can accept this in place of a title.

I have heard that a few people have placed a small claim civil suite on the former residents that abandoned a vehicle on their property and the civil judge has issued or judged that the owner of the property has rights to this vehicle but I myself have never experienced this.

I can remove these without you going through any of this but I will have to removed the vehicle and place it into a state approved storage lot. If  I do this I can not pay anything for the vehicle. The storage lot simply pays my company for a tow. We are not able to retain the vehicle once it is placed in storage. By state law it must be auctioned off.

If you need any help then please feel free to give us a call at 713-592-2576

Online Junk Car buyers Scam BEWARE!!

Free Towing, Junk Car, Misc No Comments »

Recently I have had a few complaints on a couple of companies that operate online. I have had more then a few of my local customers. Normally we hear a few complaints about other junk car buyers, but we have heard a lot about this scam going around.

Here is whats going on a person wanting to sell their car uses a search engine to find a car buyer. They then contact one of the results in the search engine.  The company gives them an estimate  on what they are willing to pay for the vehicle. (Usually more then what any salvage company is willing to pay). If the person accepts the offer the buyer then sends you an envelope containing a few pieces of paperwork for you to sign and return. This is all fine but the problem with this is that you have to return the title to your vehicle with the paperwork. The paperwork that you signs is paperwork that you are giving up all rights to your vehicle.

The companies tell you not to worry we are sending a wrecker to pick up your vehicle. The thing is the wrecker does not have the payment for the vehicle. The company says that they are going to send you a payment for the vehicle in the mail. Well at the point of sending and signing the paperwork then returning it in the mail this whole thing becomes a civil issue not a criminal issue. The only way to get your money is to sue the company in court. Whats real odd is they will not send a wrecker until they receive your paperwork, then why can’t the wrecker at lest bring the customer a check?

I will not name any of the companies names due to legal issues. My legal team says that it is not allowed.

Keep in mind we at Houston Junkcar Buyers will pay you on the spot at the time that we pick up your vehicle. Call us at 713-592-2576 to get a free estimate or to arrange free pickup.

Junk Car Story

Free Towing, Junk Car, Misc, Wrecked Cars No Comments »

The other day a lady called me out to buy a couple of old junk cars from her so she could get up enough money to buy her grandson a car. I agreed on a certain amount .

When I got there she had all of her paper work and a copy of her state issued driver licese. I bought the first and towed it off. Then I went back and was about to tow the second car and I asked what was wrong with it. She said the mechanic told her the the motor was locked up.

I got to looking at the vehicle and connected my jumper cables to it. Once trying to start it I noticed that the starter was hung  up. I pulled out my hammer and hit the starter a few times, the car started right up.

The lady started to cry and said “I sold you thid car and I could have given it to my grandson.” I promply told her no worries and got my money back for that car.

I didn’t buy that car the other day, but I think I made a really good new friend.

The Difference Between A Salt Water Flooded Car and A Freshwater Flooded Car.

Free Towing, Junk Car No Comments »

I wanted to take a minute to mention the differences between freshwater damage versus salt water damage. The main thing that a salt water flooded car does is rust out the car immediately. With in days you can look behind the rubber that is on the door and you will see rust starting to form. This is the salt starting to eat away at the metal on your car body.

Salt water damages your electrical connection in your car real bad. With in days the electronic motors are trash. It’s all most like taking your car and dropping it into a vat of acid and quickly taking it out.

Fresh water flood damage is bad but no where near the same as salt water. With fresh water you can drain the all of your vehicles fluids, replace all the filters, and more then likely your vehicle will start an you will be able to drive it.

I don’t know of any junk yards that will purchase known salt water flooded cars. The damage is just to severe. Nothing can be sold to the general public. The parts are either to corroded or the parts rust apart.

Any salt water flooded vehicle we will tow it away for free.

How to Get rid of your junk car

Free Towing, Junk Car, Misc No Comments »

As time goes by, our age grow old as the cars goes broke. And how would get rid of your non working vehicles?

You can put ads in your local papers and online. This is great if you have the time to wait and answer your phone. Also you take a chance of strange people that you don’t know coming to your house. This could be a danger to you and your family.

You can drive it around with a for sale sign on it. This puts you in the same category as above.

Park it on a street corner with a for sale sign on it. Well this will get your phone ringing and will generate interest, but you take a big chance on receiving a ticket for not having a dealers license, your car getting vandalized or even stolen.

We will be more then happy to buy your vehicle. We pay top dollar for all vehicle. Please call us for a free quote and free towing, as always. 713-592-2576

Teaser Quotes and Junk Car buyer scams. BEWARE!!

Free Towing, Junk Car No Comments »

A Teaser  quote is when you call a buyer and they knowingly offer you more then what they will pay for your junk car. This is a very bad and deceptive practice.  We at Houston Junk Car Do Not practice this.

The reason the other junk car buyers in Houston do this is to get out to the car. Once they are at the location of your vehicle they feel like they can find a fault in your vehicle or tell you that it isn’t as you described to them over the phone and go down on the price.

This is a horrible practice. I wish the companies that do this would stop. But we all know that there are bad in all industries.

We will never do this to you. We ask you a few questions about your vehicle then give you an estimate about how much we are willing to pay for your vehicle. Simple as that. If there is a possibility that we may change the price we will tell you at the time of your call.

Please call us for details 713-592-2576
