    Great experience. They gave me top dollar for my car. I was actually shocked. Great customer service. They were quick to respond and friendly. The tow company had all the paperwork in hand and he had the car loaded and gone in less than 10 minutes. Hands down best place I've dealt with as far as getting rid of unwanted cars.

  • I recently worked with TCJ who made the experience so friendly. The professionalism I experienced was exceptional. Something I rarely see now a days. They answered any and every question and helped guide me through the process. The payment was prompt. I would recommend everyone who plans on junking their vehicle to reach out to these guys. You will not be disappointed.

FAQs about selling your car in Ames, IA

Your questions, answered

Do I need a title to sell my vehicle?

Unfortunately we cannot usually buy vehicles with no title in Ames, IA. Sorry about this! Iowa has very strict laws around vehicle ownership and we are at the mercy of following those regulations. You would need to obtain a replacement or duplicate title from your local DMV (see below). Once you have your title in hand we'll be happy to buy your junk car!

Does the title need to be in my name?

Yes, to legally sell your vehicle you must be the legal owner. That means a title or registration in your name. Any titles that are "signed over" to you cannot be used until ownership is fully transferred into your name.

Does my vehicle need a catalytic converter?

Stolen catalytic converters are an increasingly common problem. The converter is not technically required, but your offer may change significantly if it is missing or has been replaced with an aftermarket part. All offers are subject to change when the converter is missing or replaced with aftermarket.
