Forget the dealership lobby. We'll meet you at your home or office. Our team handles the title transfer and paperwork so you don't have to.
We don't load the car until you're paid. Whether it's a cash or a certified check, you get your money first. Only then do we hook up the tow truck.
We're not a lead site that shops your info around. We're a high-volume auction buyer — which is how we can pay you more, lock in the price, and handle the logistics ourselves.
Most buyers need a huge profit on one car to stay in business. We buy in massive volume for national auctions, which means we can afford to pay you more for your non-running vehicle.
We don't guess. We use real-time auction data to ensure your offer is the highest possible for your car's condition — running or not.
The price we say is the check we pay. No driveway haggling or "towing fees" deducted at the last minute.
Even if it's buried in the garage or has four flat tires, we handle the extraction. You don't lift a finger — towing is always included in your offer.
We don't load the car until you're paid. Whether it's a bank transfer or a certified check, you get your money first. Only then do we hook up the tow truck.
Lost your title? Don't stress. Our paperwork experts can usually help you navigate the duplicate process so you can still get paid.
Thousands of people have sold their non-running cars to us. Here's what a few of them had to say.
MARCUS
RECOMMENDED“F-150 threw a rod last winter. Mechanic quoted me $4,800 to fix it, the truck wasn't even worth that running. Scrap yards were at $300-400. SMCO offered $2,850 and had a driver at my house two days later. Cash in hand before they even hooked up the winch.”
JENNIFER
RECOMMENDED“My dad's Camry sat in the driveway for six years after he passed. Dead battery, flat tires, the whole deal. I'd been dreading dealing with it forever. Filled out their form late at night, had the offer by morning. Paid me $1,125 by Zelle right before they loaded it.”
BRIAN
RECOMMENDED“Old civic that hadn't started in maybe 3 years, just sitting in my backyard behind the shed. Flat tires, tree branches on it, the works. Two junkyards offered $200. SMCO came in at $975 and sent a flatbed. Guy had it winched out in like 20 minutes.”
Everything you need to know about selling your non-running car to us.
Yes — that's exactly what we specialize in. Whether your car won't start due to a dead battery, blown engine, transmission failure, or it's just been sitting for years, we buy it as-is. No jump-starts, no mechanic visits, no getting it running before pickup.
Even if it's buried in the garage or has four flat tires, we handle the extraction. You don't lift a finger. We regularly pull cars out of driveways, backyards, and garages where they've been sitting for 5, 10, even 20+ years — flat tires, dead batteries, stuck brakes, rodent damage, none of it disqualifies you from getting paid.
Yes. Flood-damaged, fire-damaged, wrecked, rolled, or totaled — we'll make you an offer. Just be honest about the condition when you fill out the form and the offer you get will be the offer we honor at pickup.
Pretty much any make and model — domestic, import, luxury, economy, trucks, SUVs, vans. If it has a VIN and is located in the continental U.S., we can almost certainly make you an offer.
We don't guess. We use real-time auction data for your specific year, make, model, trim, and condition — adjusted for transportation and processing costs. Because we buy in volume for national auctions where dealers compete to bid on your car, we can typically pay significantly more than a scrap yard or salvage lot.
No. The price we say is the check we pay. As long as the car matches the condition you described when you got your offer, the number is locked — no driveway haggling, no "we noticed this" deductions, no last-minute renegotiation.
Lost your title? Don't stress. Our paperwork experts can usually help you navigate the duplicate process so you can still get paid. In most states we can still buy your car without an in-hand title, though the offer may be adjusted. The easiest path is typically a duplicate title from your DMV, and we'll walk you through your options when you reach out.
If there's a loan or lien on the vehicle, you'll need the payoff amount from your lender. If your offer is higher than the payoff, we pay off the loan and send you the difference. If the payoff is higher than the offer, you'll need to cover the gap before we can buy the car.
Most offers are good for 7 days. After that, wholesale market conditions may shift and we may need to requote. There's no obligation to accept — take the time you need to decide.
Yes, pickup is always free, no matter the condition. Even if it's buried in the garage or has four flat tires, we handle the extraction — cars that won't start, cars with flat tires, cars with no wheels, cars sitting in a backyard for a decade. You're never charged for transportation or towing; it's built into your offer.
Most pickups happen within 24 to 48 hours of accepting your offer. In some areas we can pick up same-day. We'll work with your schedule and come to your home, job, mechanic shop, storage lot, or wherever the car is sitting.
You get paid before the tow truck leaves. Your choice of certified check or instant bank transfer (Zelle or ACH) — payment lands in your hand or your account before the car is loaded. We never mail checks after pickup or delay payment.
We buy cars in all 48 continental U.S. states. Some rural areas may have longer pickup windows, but we'll tell you upfront when you receive your offer.
Stop letting that car take up space. Get your high-volume offer now and have it out of your driveway by this time tomorrow.
