Junk My Car Without Title - We Can Help

Lost your title? Don't worry! As a licensed junk car buyer, we can purchase vehicles without titles in many situations. Here's what you need to know:

Requirements for No-Title Purchases:

  • Vehicle must be registered in your name
  • Valid ID matching the registration
  • No outstanding liens or loans
  • Proof of ownership (registration, insurance records)

Pro Tip: You can obtain a replacement title from the Texas DMV the same day by visiting their regional office with your registration. This often increases your vehicle's value.
