The whole process was very easy. I answered a few quick questions, received a quote for my car, and was sent detailed instructions on how to transfer my title and prepare my car. I then received a call from their partner to set a pick-up date. They came on time, gave me a check in the amount promised, and towed my car away. This couldn't have been easier and I'm so grateful for Junk Car Medics.

FAQ

What do I need to sell my junk car in Oakland?

To sell your junk car in Oakland, California, you need a valid title, current registration, government-issued ID, and all vehicle keys. Lost titles can be replaced by submitting form REG 227 to the California DMV with the required fee. Without a title, some buyers may accept registration and a REG 138 release of liability form, though this limits options and may lower the offered price.

Most vehicles in Oakland are picked up within 24 to 48 hours. Many transactions happen within hours of accepting your offer.

How do you calculate junk car offers in Oakland?

Offers are based on your vehicle’s condition, demand for parts, and scrap metal prices in Oakland. We always work to get you the highest possible offer.

Do you pay cash on the spot when picking up my vehicle in Oakland?

Payment is always made at the time of pickup, either in cash or check. All checks are guaranteed and backed by licensed buyers so you can sell with confidence.

Do you buy incomplete vehicles in Oakland?

Yes, we buy incomplete vehicles in Oakland for cash. Missing or aftermarket parts simply result in adjusted—but still competitive—offers.
