How selling a junk car in Memphis works

  1. Describe the car online

    Fill in a short form with the year, make and model, whether it runs, the title and when you need it gone. Add photos, the mileage and the VIN if you can, because buyers who can see the car offer a price they can stand by. There is no phone call to make and nobody to wait on hold for.

  2. Let the buyers battle

    Buyers around Memphis who take cars from your ZIP send offers to your own offers page, each with the earliest time they can pick up. Your page shows the three who can come soonest beside the three who will pay the most, each offer shows the buyer's name and town, and you can message any of them through our site.

  3. Pick your winner and get paid

    Choose the offer that suits you, whether that is the most cash, the soonest pickup or one near the top of both, and book that buyer's time or a later one they have open. The buyer tows the car for free and pays you the full amount when they collect it.

Memphis's 5 screened junk car buyers

Kings Cash for Junk Cars

4.2 Memphis

Kings buys junk cars around east Memphis and pays cash when it picks them up. Recent sellers of cars that no longer ran said it was quick, and one family got $500 for a 2012 Dodge van. That same family later gave it the lowest rating, for a reason their review does not fully show, and there are only a few reviews in all.

Pull-A-Part Memphis

4.3 Memphis
Chain location

This is the big self-serve parts yard in south Memphis, and nearly every review is about pulling parts. It does buy cars too. One seller, let down by another company that never came for a junk car, said this yard sorted out the pickup and got it done. Expect a busy chain yard, not a one-man tow service.

Lester's Cash for Junk Cars

4.7 Atoka

Lester's works out of Atoka in Tipton County and tends to show up fast. Many sellers had a dead car hooked and cash in hand within an hour, and several said its price beat other junk car offers. A few others waited for a pickup that never came and could not get an answer, so the timing is not perfect.

Adams Towing Cash 4 Junk Cars

4.7 Memphis

Adams Towing is a tow service in southeast Memphis that also buys junk cars for cash. Most of its reviews are about quick tows, including a truck pulled off the expressway. One seller with a car that had quit running said the cash offer beat every other quote, and the same owner later sold that family a used car that held up.

K B Auto | Cash for Junk Cars

4.6 Memphis

KB Auto is a south Memphis junk car buyer that usually pulls up within an hour or two, often the same day. Sellers say it beat lower quotes from other buyers, in one case doubling a rival's offer, and paid what it promised. A handful waited hours or were never picked up, so plans can slip.

  • Your number ends up on every yard's list, and the calls keep coming after you sell.
  • Some listings that look local are call centers that sell your details on.

Tennessee rules

What you need to sell a junk car in Memphis

  • Tennessee plates follow you, not the car. Your county clerk can move them to another vehicle for a $1 fee.
  • If the plate leaves with the car, you can cancel it with the Tennessee Department of Revenue's plate cancellation form, sent by email.
  • The buyer needs your title properly signed over, plus an odometer disclosure statement if one applies, to title the car.
  • Lost your title? Your county clerk can issue a duplicate in person or by mail for $14, plus any county fees.
  • Federal law: if your car is a 2011 or newer, write the mileage on the title when you sign it. A 2010 or older car is exempt.

Checked October 2026 against the official sources below. Rules change, so if anything here does not match your situation, the Tennessee Department of Revenue has the final word.

You might be wondering

How fast can a Memphis buyer pick up my car?

Every offer says the earliest time that buyer can come, and your offers page shows the fastest pickup near the top, so the quickest Memphis buyers are easy to spot. If you tell us you need it gone today, the list starts with the soonest pickups. You book the buyer's time or a later one they have open, up to a week ahead, so you can pick the time that suits you.

Can I call the Memphis buyers listed here?

We don't list their phone numbers. Enter your ZIP and the buyers who cover it send offers to your offers page, so you compare prices side by side instead of calling yard after yard. Once you pick one, calls go through our number, so neither side's number is handed out.

What do I need to sell a junk car in Tennessee?

Tennessee plates follow you, not the car. Your county clerk can move them to another vehicle for a $1 fee. If the plate leaves with the car, you can cancel it with the Tennessee Department of Revenue's plate cancellation form, sent by email. The buyer needs your title properly signed over, plus an odometer disclosure statement if one applies, to title the car. Lost your title? Your county clerk can issue a duplicate in person or by mail for $14, plus any county fees. If you can't find the title, say so on the form and message buyers before you choose, because some can still take the car.

How does BeaterBoss work?

Tell us about your car, your ZIP code and when you need it gone. Screened local junk car buyers send cash offers, and each one says the earliest time that buyer can pick up. Your offers page shows the top offer and the fastest pickup up front, and you pick the buyer you want.

What do Top, Fastest and Best of both mean?

Top is the biggest offer on your car. Fastest is the buyer who can pick it up soonest. Best of both marks an offer that is among the three biggest and the three soonest at once. They only point things out, so you can still choose any offer you like.

Do I need photos, the mileage or the VIN?

No, but the more you add, the more accurate your offers. Buyers price a car from what they can see, so photos of the front, the back, the dashboard showing the mileage (with the engine running, if it runs), the inside, any damage and the VIN plate let them offer a price they can stand by when they arrive. The VIN is on the dashboard by the windshield, or on the driver's door frame. Please don't add a photo of the title: it shows your address.

Is it free for sellers?

Yes. It costs you nothing to get offers or sell. Buyers pay us a fee only when they win your car, and it is on top of their offer, never taken out of it.

Will I get a lot of phone calls?

No. Offers arrive on your own offers page and we text you when they do. Buyers never get your phone number, not even the one you choose: calls go through our number.

Can I sell my car without a title?

Often, yes. Many buyers accept cars without a title if you can show ID and proof of ownership. Rules vary by state, and the offer may be lower.

What if the buyer lowers the price at pickup?

You can say no. The offer you accepted is the price. Tell us on your offers page and we will step in.

Why isn't a Memphis business I found on Google listed?

It may not have met our bar, which is a 4.0 or better Google rating, usually from at least 10 reviews, and signs that the business actually buys vehicles. We also leave out call centers and listings named after search keywords.

Why are some buyers shown first?

Buyers who make offers through BeaterBoss are shown first, because you can get their price here without a phone call. They pay us a fee only when you pick them and they pick up the car; you never pay anything. Everyone else is shown in a different order on every visit, so no one is stuck at the top or the bottom.
