Sanford & Seminole County, Florida
Tell us the year, make, model and what is wrong with it. You get a firm number on the phone, we tow it for free, and you get paid when we hook it up.
Most people calling about a junk car have already been quoted three different numbers by three national websites, none of which have seen the car. We work the other way. We ask what the vehicle is, where it sits, whether it rolls, and whether you have the title. Then we give you a number we will actually honor when the truck arrives.
That matters most on the cars nobody else wants. A 2004 Taurus with a blown transmission sitting behind a house off Airport Boulevard is still worth real money in parts and scrap steel. A flood car from a Lake Monroe backyard is still worth money. We buy those every week.
There is no charge for the tow, no fee taken out of your offer at the last minute, and no obligation if you decide not to sell.
A lot of the sites that rank for junk cars in Florida are lead brokers. They collect your information, sell it to whoever bids highest, and you end up negotiating with a stranger who drives in from another county and shaves the price at the curb.
We buy the car ourselves and we recycle it ourselves. The usable parts get pulled and resold, the fluids get drained and handled properly, and the shell goes to scrap. Because we make money on the whole vehicle rather than a finder's fee, we can pay more for the cars other buyers call worthless.
It also means the person who quotes you is the person responsible for the pickup. If we say Thursday morning, that is on us.
Being based in Sanford rather than driving up from Orlando changes the economics too. A buyer covering forty miles each way has to price that fuel and that hour into your offer somewhere, and it usually comes out of the number rather than off their margin. Our routes already run this county every day, so a pickup in Geneva or Fern Park is part of the day rather than a special trip somebody has to justify.
Free towing anywhere in Seminole County, cash handed over when the car goes on the truck.

Driveways, apartment lots, storage yards, repair shops holding a car for an unpaid bill, and the side of SR 417 after a wreck. If it is in the county, we can get a truck to it.
Two things decide how fast we can get to a vehicle: where it sits and who needs to be present. A car in your own driveway with the keys in your hand is usually a same-day job. A car in an apartment lot where the management office has to sign off, or one behind a repair shop holding it against an unpaid bill, takes a call or two first. Tell us which situation you are in when you ring and we will give you a realistic day instead of an optimistic one.
The number we give you on the phone is the number you get paid, as long as the car matches how you described it. We do not renegotiate at the curb once the truck is already there and you feel stuck.
Free pickup anywhere in Seminole County, including cars that will not roll, will not steer, or are parked behind a gate. The tow is never deducted from your offer.
Flood damage, fire damage, blown engines, missing wheels, rolled roofs, cars that have not started since the last hurricane season. Those are normal Tuesdays for us, not exceptions.
Lost titles are common and Florida has a process for it. We walk you through the HSMV forms, tell you exactly what the Seminole County Tax Collector will need, and we do not charge for the help.
Payment happens when the vehicle goes on the truck, not days later after an inspection somewhere else. You keep your plate and we hand you a receipt for your records.
Fluids drained and disposed of properly, batteries and tires handled to code, and the transfer documented so the vehicle stops being your responsibility the moment it leaves.
Most junk cars in the Sanford area land somewhere between a couple hundred dollars and well over a thousand. What moves the number is whether the engine and transmission are intact, whether the catalytic converter is still on it, the weight of the vehicle, and how in-demand the parts are. A complete truck is worth more than a stripped compact. Call with the year, make, model and condition and we will give you a firm figure.
Yes. Non-running vehicles are most of what we buy. It does not need to start, steer, hold air in the tires, or have a battery in it. We bring a flatbed and winch it on.
Often yes, but it depends on the situation. If the title is simply lost and the vehicle is still registered in your name, Florida lets you apply for a duplicate using HSMV form 82101 through the Seminole County Tax Collector. For older vehicles there are additional paths. Bring your photo ID and registration and we will tell you honestly on the phone whether your specific case works before anyone drives out.
Yes, anywhere in Seminole County, and the cost is never quietly subtracted from your offer. If we quote you six hundred dollars, you get six hundred dollars and the tow is on us.
Same-day pickup is often available in Sanford if you call early enough in the day, and next-day is normal for the rest of the county. Scheduling depends on where the vehicle sits and whether anyone needs to be there to hand over keys and paperwork.
A photo ID, the title if you have it, and the keys if they still exist. If there is a lien on the vehicle you will also need the lien release. None of those are dealbreakers on their own, so call before assuming you cannot sell.
Have the year, make, model and condition ready. Most quotes take under five minutes, and same-day pickup is often available across Sanford.
