My car will not start and I have no idea why. Will you still buy it?

Yes. Most of the non-running cars we buy have undiagnosed problems, and that never affects the sale. You do not need to know what is wrong with it. Just tell us the year, make, and model, and describe what happens when you turn the key.

Can you tow a car out of my garage if it does not run?

Yes. Our trucks have winches specifically for pulling dead cars out of garages, driveways, and parking spots. Tell us where it sits when you call, including any tight turns or low clearances, so our driver arrives with the right truck.

I lost the keys. Is that a problem?

In most cases, no. We buy cars without keys regularly. Mention it when you call so our driver arrives prepared.

Do I need to try jump-starting it before you come?

No. Do not bother. Whether it starts or not does not change our process, and we do not need it running to load it.

How fast can you pick up a non-running car?

Usually within about an hour of your call. Our 15 trucks run Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach every day with the right equipment on board.

Why Sell Instead of Paying a Mechanic?

Skip the diagnostic bill: Shops charge just to find the problem, and the answer is often a starter, alternator, or fuel pump that costs more than the car is worth. We buy it without any diagnosis.
A dead car still has cash value: The engine may be silent, but the catalytic converter, aluminum wheels, body panels, and hundreds of parts still have value. We pay you for all of it.
We tow it from wherever it sits: Driveway, garage, parking lot, or side of the road. Our winches pull non-running cars onto flatbeds every day. Towing is free and pickup is usually within about an hour.

Not Starting Usually Means Not Worth Fixing

A car that will not start is a mystery with a price tag. It could be a dead battery, or it could be a seized engine, and you pay a mechanic either way to find out. On an older high-mileage car, the most common no-start causes, starters, alternators, fuel pumps, and timing components, routinely cost more than the car itself.

We have bought more than 10,000 cars across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties, and non-running cars are our specialty. Our 15 trucks run daily with the winches and flatbeds needed to move dead cars, so pickup is usually within about an hour of your call.

Jump starts that do not hold mean bigger problems: If a jump gets it going for a day and it dies again, you are looking at charging system repairs. We buy the car as-is so you stop throwing money at it.
Sitting cars deteriorate fast in Florida: Heat, humidity, and sun break down a parked car quickly. Tires flat-spot, fluids go bad, and mold grows. Selling now gets you more than selling later.
No keys? We can still work with that: Lost the keys along the way? Tell us when you call. We buy cars without keys in most cases and our drivers are equipped for it.

Common Reasons Cars Will Not Start

Dead or weak batteries are the simplest cause, but if a new battery does not fix it, the list gets expensive. Starters, alternators, fuel pumps, ignition switches, and broken timing belts are the usual suspects on older cars.

Then there are the mystery cases. Rodents chewing wiring, flooded computers, and corroded grounds from Florida humidity. Diagnosing those takes hours of shop time before the repair even starts.

Security system faults are another quiet culprit. A failed immobilizer or a lost key fob signal can leave a mechanically sound car completely dead, and dealership reprogramming is priced accordingly. We buy the car either way.

Why Repairs Rarely Make Sense

Add the tow to the shop, the diagnostic fee, the parts, and the labor. On a car worth a few thousand dollars at best, a single no-start repair can erase any reason to keep it. And there is no guarantee the fix holds.

Compare that to a cash sale. One phone call, a firm offer, free towing, and cash in your hand, usually within about an hour. No estimates, no surprises, no second repair visit.

What if it just needs a battery?

If you are certain it is only the battery and the car is otherwise sound, a battery is cheap. But if you have already tried that, or the car has other problems too, call us for a cash offer before spending more.
