Questions sellers ask
Straight answers before you decide whether to move forward.
What vehicles are a good fit?
We prioritize trucks of any age, Japanese vehicles of any age, most 2010-and-newer cars, and vehicles with fixable issues, smog failures, expired registration, or complicated paperwork. Vehicles must have a working key and be able to start and drive.
What is a car title, and what paperwork do I need?
The title is the state document that proves who owns the vehicle. For pickup, have the title and a current photo ID ready. If the title is lost, signed by another owner, or has a lien, tell us in the form so we can explain the correct next step before scheduling.
Is this legitimate?
The process is designed to be clear from intake through pickup: you see the offer terms, confirm the appointment, verify the buyer, sign the required transfer documents, and receive payment.
What happens on pickup day?
The buyer checks the VIN, title, mileage, and the same condition items you submitted. If everything matches, you sign the transfer paperwork, receive payment, remove your belongings, and hand over the keys. We then arrange the tow at no charge within the service area.
How fast do I get paid?
Payment is completed on the spot, after the title, identity, and vehicle are verified.
Do you really tow for free?
Yes—pickup is free within the covered Fresno and Clovis service area for vehicles we agree to buy. That covers Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Sanger, Reedley, and Kingsburg.
What cars do you buy?
We prioritize trucks of any age, Japanese vehicles of any age, and most 2010-and-newer cars. We also consider smog failures, expired registration, complicated paperwork, high mileage, and fixable issues. Vehicles without a working key, that will not start and drive, or that have major structural damage are not a fit.
