How It Works

Beater to bucks
in three steps.

No listings, no strangers test-driving your car, no dealership games. One call or one form, and the whole thing is usually done the same day.

Step 1

Get your guaranteed offer.

Call us or fill out the form. We ask five things: year, make, model, condition, and ZIP. The number comes back in minutes — and it never drops.

Pricing method

Scrap + parts value

Every offer is built from the vehicle's weight in metal plus what its parts are worth right now. A dead engine doesn't zero out a car — doors, wheels, and catalytic converters carry real value.

Our promise

The number never drops

Describe the car straight and the number on the phone is the number in your hand at the curb. No bait-and-switch, no last-minute deductions.

Timing

No pressure to decide

Offers hold for days, not minutes. No countdown timers, no "act now" games. Call back when you're ready.

Step 2

Set a pickup time.

Free towing is included with every offer — anywhere in New Jersey. We come when it works for you: driveway, street, apartment lot, or the shop it died at.

Have these ready when the truck arrives

  • 01The signed title — signed per your state's rules. A few states require a notary; we'll tell you if yours is one.
  • 02The keys, if you have them.
  • 03The car cleaned out of anything you want to keep.
  • 04Plates removed, in most states.
Check the glovebox, trunk, and under the seats twice — once the car is on the flatbed, it's gone. No keys? No title yet? Tell us on the phone — there's usually a path.
Step 3

Get paid at the curb.

The driver does a quick walk-around, you sign the title over, and the cash gets counted into your hand before the flatbed pulls off.

Inspection

Two-minute walk-around

Driver confirms VIN and condition. The only thing that changes an offer is a car that isn't what was described: missing catalytic converter, different vehicle, stripped parts.

Payment

Cash, counted, yours

Payment happens at pickup. Not mailed, not "processed in 5–7 days." The driver hands you the cash before the car goes on the flatbed.

Paperwork

We handle the transfer

We handle the ownership transfer free. Some states need a quick release-of-liability filing; we'll tell you if yours is one before we leave.

Example

What same-day actually looks like.

10:00 AM

You call about the Altima that won't start. Five questions in, you have a number.

10:05 AM

You take the offer and pick an afternoon window.

2:00 PM

Flatbed pulls up. Walk-around, title signed, plates off.

2:15 PM

Cash counted into your hand. Driveway's empty by dinner.

Common questions

Before you call.

Do I need to be there at pickup?
You or someone you trust with the signed title — the title handoff is the sale.
What if the car is at a shop or impound?
We pick up from shops, lots, and impounds — call before fees stack higher.
Does it matter that it doesn't run?
No — flatbeds exist for exactly this. Non-running cars are what we buy most.
What should I do about insurance?
Keep it active until the title is signed over, then cancel. Surrender plates first where required.
