Why homeowners trust us

We Specialize in Non-Running Vehicles

Non-running vehicles are the core of our business. While most buyers want cars that drive off the lot, we specifically seek out vehicles that don't start, don't move, or aren't safe to drive. These vehicles still have significant value in their metal, parts, and components.

If your car has been sitting in the driveway because the engine blew, the transmission failed, or it simply won't turn over anymore, you don't need to spend money diagnosing or fixing it. Call us, tell us what you know about the problem, and we'll make you a cash offer based on the vehicle itself — not on whether it runs.

Common Mechanical Issues We Buy

We purchase vehicles with every type of mechanical failure, including blown or seized engines, failed or slipping transmissions, overheated engines with cracked heads or warped blocks, broken timing belts or chains, catastrophic electrical failures, failed fuel pumps or fuel systems, broken axles and differential failures, and vehicles that simply won't start for unknown reasons.

You do not need to know exactly what's wrong with the car. If your mechanic told you it would cost more to fix than the car is worth, that's all we need to know.

How to Sell a Non-Running Car in Las Vegas

Call (866) 748-3697 and tell us the year, make, model, and what you know about the problem. We don't need a diagnosis — a description like "it won't start" or "the engine overheated and now it makes a knocking sound" is enough for us to make an offer.

Because the car doesn't run, we bring a flatbed tow truck to load it. Towing is always free, no matter where the vehicle is located in the Las Vegas valley. We pay you cash before the car leaves your property.

Why Non-Running Cars Still Have Value

A car that won't run still contains hundreds of pounds of steel, aluminum, and other metals that have real scrap value. Beyond the metal, many individual components — alternators, starters, AC compressors, catalytic converters, wheels, and body panels — can be refurbished and resold.

The value of a non-running vehicle depends on its weight, the demand for its specific parts, and the current market price of scrap metal. Heavier vehicles and those with popular drivetrains tend to receive the best offers.
