How it works
Three simple steps to cash.
01
Tell us what you have
Year, make, model, condition, ZIP code, and whether the catalytic converter is still attached. Takes 2 minutes by phone or form. We quote you a firm cash price on the spot.
02
Pick a pickup window
Most pickups in Metro Detroit happen the same day you call. Outside the immediate area, next-day is standard. We dispatch our own flatbed, no third-party tow company.
03
Cash on the spot, before we load
Our driver verifies the car matches what you described, hands you the agreed cash amount, you sign the Michigan title, and we load. The car is gone in under 20 minutes.
Why sell to us
We're the local yard, not a lead-gen site.
We're not a national network that sells your info to the lowest bidder. We're a Detroit business with our own flatbeds, our own drivers, and our own yard.
Top dollar, guaranteed
We know what every car is worth because we buy them every day across Metro Detroit. Get a better offer somewhere else? Show us — we'll match or beat it.
Cash at pickup, no haggling
No bait-and-switch. No surprise deductions when the driver arrives. The price we quote on the phone is the cash you get when we load the car. Period.
No pressure.
