What we see in the Houston market

Houston is the most flood-affected large vehicle market in the country. Harvey alone put a vast number of cars under water, and flood history still circulates here — sometimes titled, sometimes not. That makes checking the record before quoting non-negotiable rather than optional. Beyond that it is a truck market with serious humidity, which is hard on electrical connections and interiors in a way dry-heat markets are not.

Pickup in Houston

We pick up across the Houston metro, from Katy through Pasadena and out to The Woodlands, free of charge.

How it works in Houston

  1. Tell us about the car. Year, make, model, mileage and condition — or just the VIN, which fills in most of it. About two minutes.
  2. Get a real number. Not a range and not a "starting from" figure. If anything about the car would change it, we would rather ask you now than at your door.
  3. We come to you and you get paid. Free pickup, paperwork done on the spot, payment on collection. If the car does not run, we tow it at no charge.

Paperwork in Texas

Your plates

Texas plates belong to you and come off the vehicle before it goes. You can transfer them to a replacement car or dispose of them, and either way you should file a Vehicle Transfer Notification with the TxDMV — that filing is what moves liability for anything the new driver does off you.

The title

Sign the title over with the odometer reading. Texas expects the buyer to file within 30 days, but the transfer notification is yours to file and it is the one that protects you.

This is general orientation, not legal advice, and state requirements change. Confirm the current rules with the Texas DMV before you complete a sale. We prepare the transfer paperwork with you at pickup either way.

Common questions

Do you actually come to Houston?
Yes. We pick up across the Houston metro, from Katy through Pasadena and out to The Woodlands, free of charge. Pickup is free and it does not come out of your offer.
How fast can I sell my car in Houston?
Most sellers go from first quote to payment inside a week, and closer-in pickups are frequently same-day or next-day. The part that takes longest is almost never us — it is a missing title or an outstanding loan payoff, which is why we ask about both up front.
What do I need to bring?
The title, a photo ID matching the name on it, the registration if you have it, and both sets of keys if they exist. If there is a loan on the car, we need the lender and the account number so we can request the payoff figure. Texas plates belong to you and come off the vehicle before it goes.
Will the offer change when you see the car?
Only if the car is materially different from how it was described — undisclosed accident damage, a title brand nobody mentioned, or mileage that does not match. Barring that, the number we quote is the number we pay. Quoting high and cutting at the door is a known tactic in this business and it is not one we use.
