Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Wrecked Cars in Houston

How quickly can you pick up my wrecked car in Houston?

We offer same-day pickup for most Houston locations. If you accept our offer before 2 PM, we can often pick up your vehicle the same day.

Do you buy cars that won't start or run?

What if I still owe money on my wrecked car?

We can still help! If you owe less than our offer, we'll pay off your loan and give you the difference in cash. If you owe more, we'll work with you and your lender to find a solution. Many Houston customers use our cash to pay down their loan balance.

How do you determine the price for wrecked cars?

Our pricing considers multiple factors: vehicle year/make/model, extent of damage, current Houston scrap metal prices, salvageable parts value, and local demand.
