Get Cash for Junk Cars in Houston

Every bid says the earliest time that buyer can come, and your board shows the fastest pickup near the top, so the quickest Houston buyers are easy to spot. If you choose ASAP, bids close in an hour (at 10 AM when you list after 2 PM or before 8 AM) and 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.

We don't list their phone numbers. Enter your ZIP and the buyers who cover it bid on your board, 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.

In Texas, you take the plates off the car and reporting the sale to the state is optional. Every rule, with its official source, is listed above under "What you need to sell a junk car in Texas". If you can't find the title, say so on the form and message buyers before you take a bid, because some can still take the car.

Tell us about your car, your ZIP code and how fast you want it gone, which sets how long buyers have to bid. Screened local junk car buyers bid cash on it, and each bid says the earliest time that buyer can pick up. Your board shows the top bid and the fastest pickup up front, and you take the bid you want.

You choose when you list. ASAP gives buyers 1 hour, and By tomorrow closes bids at 10 AM the next day, where your car is. ASAP is there until 2 PM, and an ASAP car listed before 8 AM takes bids until 10 AM, so buyers are up to see it. A clock on your board counts down, you can take a bid at any time, and your bids still stand for a day after bidding closes.

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

No, but the more you add, the more accurate your bids. 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 bid 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.

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

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

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

You can say no. The bid you took is the price. Tell us on your board and we will step in.

It may not have met our bar, which is a rating of 4.0 stars or better, 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.

Buyers who bid 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.
