Sell your wrecked or totaled car in Los Angeles
Los Angeles has more registered vehicles than any city in America — and more collisions to go with them. Between the 405, the 101, and the 10, thousands of LA drivers end up every month with a car that’s wrecked, totaled, or too damaged to sell the normal way. That’s the exact vehicle we’re here to buy.
How we buy wrecked cars in Los Angeles
Our tow partners cover all of Los Angeles County, from the San Fernando Valley to South LA, East LA, and the Westside. Pickups happen where the car sits — your driveway, a Van Nuys body shop, or a tow yard off the 110. If the vehicle is racking up daily storage fees at an impound lot, flag it when you get your offer and we’ll move your pickup to the front of the line.
The process is the same everywhere we buy: describe the vehicle and its damage honestly, get a real offer priced from California damaged-vehicle market data, then schedule your free pickup. You’re paid at the same moment we collect the car and signed title — no fees deducted, no renegotiation at the curb.
Every kind of wrecked, totaled, and damaged vehicle in Los Angeles
We’re the actual buyer — not a middleman
Most national “we buy any car” websites don’t buy your car at all. They collect your information, sell it as a lead, and hand you off to whichever third party pays them for it — and in Los Angeles, that third party could be anyone. We’re the company that makes the offer, sends the truck, and puts the payment in your hand. One name, one transaction, no handoff.
Our team has spent over 30 years in the vehicle remarketing industry. We know what wrecked and totaled vehicles are actually worth in Southern and Northern California alike, and our offers hold up because of it.
Totaled in Los Angeles? The California rules that matter
Total loss & salvage certificates
When an insurer totals a California vehicle, the title is typically converted to a salvage certificate through the DMV’s REG 488C process. We buy salvage certificate vehicles in Los Angeles every week and know the paperwork cold.
Owner-retained salvage
Kept the car after your settlement? That’s owner-retained salvage — one of the most common purchases we make. You can sell it to us directly whenever you’re ready.
Release of liability
We walk you through the title signover and the DMV Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability (REG 138), so tickets and liability stop being your problem the day the car leaves Los Angeles.
No insurance involved? Fine.
Denied claims, uninsured losses, and vehicles that were never claimed at all — we price the car on its own condition, not on what an insurer decided.
Cars we bought directly from sellers like you
Every vehicle below was purchased directly from its owner — offer made, free tow sent, seller paid at pickup. This is what selling to the actual buyer looks like.
Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Side-impact collision damage to the driver’s side. Purchased at full offer — damage is what we buy.
Ford F-150
Late-model truck with front-end and side collision damage. Direct offer, free tow, paid at pickup.
Selling a wrecked car in Los Angeles, answered
My car is stuck at an impound or tow yard in Los Angeles. Can you still buy it?
Yes. Tow-yard and impound pickups are routine for us in LA. Get your offer, tell us where the vehicle is being held, and we’ll coordinate the release with the yard. Because storage fees in LA County add up fast, we prioritize these pickups.
Do you charge for towing in Los Angeles?
No. Towing is free anywhere in Los Angeles and the surrounding Los Angeles County area — home, body shop, tow yard, or storage lot. If the vehicle is accruing daily storage fees, tell us and we’ll prioritize your pickup.
How and when do I get paid?
You’re paid at pickup, at the same time we collect the vehicle and signed title. No fees come out of your offer, and there’s no waiting period.
Do you buy wrecked cars in Los Angeles that don’t run?
Yes. Non-running, non-starting, and rollback-only vehicles are our specialty. Our tow partners are equipped for vehicles that can’t move under their own power.
