No title? No problem in most cases. Free towing, cash on the spot.
Skip the Second Tow
This is one of the most common calls we receive: the car broke down, the shop diagnosed it, and the estimate is more than the car is worth. Our 15-truck fleet covers the tri-county area 24/7, so we can usually reach the shop within about an hour.
We coordinate directly with the shop on timing and access. You approve the sale, we handle the logistics, and the car leaves the shop on our truck instead of on your credit card.
A mechanic shop pickup is when we collect your car directly from the repair shop where it broke down or where the estimate came back too high. Instead of paying to tow a dead car home just to sell it, the car goes from the shop's lot onto our truck.
The decision point is simple arithmetic. Compare the repair estimate to what the car is worth running. When the repair costs approach or exceed the car's value, and especially when the car is old enough that more failures are likely, selling as-is is usually the better financial move.
A practical rule of thumb: if the repair estimate exceeds half of what the car is worth running, selling as-is is usually the stronger financial move. The margin covers the reality that old cars rarely need just one repair, and the next failure is already developing.
Call 954-787-5717 with the year, make, model, the shop's name and location, and what the shop told you. We make a cash offer based on the car's as-is condition. Accept it, and we contact the shop to arrange access and timing.
Our driver loads the car, completes the paperwork, and pays you cash on the spot. You can meet the driver at the shop or handle the paperwork from home while we collect the vehicle. Either way, the car leaves and the storage meter stops.
A quick call to the service writer saying you are selling the car and a tow truck is coming prevents confusion. Shops handle this routinely and will have the car accessible.
An honest note on money owed to the shop: any diagnostic fee or storage balance is between you and the shop, and the shop must release the vehicle before we can collect it. We cannot pay your shop bill out of the car's offer or take a car the shop is holding.
The practical advice is to settle the shop balance promptly and sell the same day, before additional storage days accrue. Once the shop confirms release, our pickup usually happens within about an hour.
Before we dispatch, make sure the shop has confirmed the vehicle is released to you. A quick call to the service writer avoids the one delay that can stall a shop pickup: a truck arriving for a car the shop has not yet cleared.
The decision usually comes down to three numbers: the repair estimate, the car's value running, and the car's value as-is. When the estimate is more than half the running value, most owners sell, because an old car that needs one major repair often needs another soon after.
Ask the shop two questions before deciding: is this the only major issue, and what else is worn enough to fail within a year. An honest service writer will tell you. If the list keeps growing, the estimate you have is only the first installment.
There is no wrong answer, only an informed one. If you choose repair, we wish the car well. If you choose to sell, call 954-787-5717 from the shop and we can often have the car gone within about an hour.
