From your first phone call to cash in your pocket, it's just three steps — no detours, no surprise charges.

Two questions. Tells you exactly where you stand.
Do you have the title in your name?
Is there still a loan or lien on the car?
This includes title loans, and any bank or lender listed as lienholder.
Clean title, no lien. Have the title, a photo ID, and the keys ready at pickup — our driver brings the rest of the paperwork.
Get my cash offerA missing title usually isn't a dealbreaker. Bring a photo ID and the vehicle registration if you have it. We handle no-title sales regularly — just tell us your situation when you call.
Get my cash offerA car with an active lien or title loan can't be sold until the lender releases it. Pay off the balance, get the lien release from your lender, and the title becomes yours to sell. Once that's done, give us a call — we'll buy it.
Look at the front of your title — if a bank or lender is printed in the lienholder section, there's a lien on the car. If you financed it and haven't paid it off, assume there is one. Still unsure? Call us and we'll work through it with you.
Call 800-219-4551Without the title in hand, the quickest way to know is to contact the lender you financed through, or request a title record from your state's motor vehicle office. If you never financed the car, there's almost certainly no lien. Call us and we'll help you sort it out.
Call 800-219-4551Selling a car in Santa Margarita means signing the title over the right way. Title rules are set at the state level, so here's exactly what California asks of you — and remember, when you sell to us, our driver brings the paperwork and walks you through every step at pickup.
In California, sign the front of the title on line 1A as the registered owner; a second registered owner signs on line 1B. Then complete the odometer and sale-price lines.
No — notarization is not required.
Keep your plates — they stay with you and can transfer to your next car.
No problem — file an Application for Duplicate Title (REG 227) with the CA DMV.
No title in hand? We regularly buy cars without titles in California — have your ID and registration handy.
Good to know: California requires a smog certification on most sales, though many older and non-running cars are exempt.

The price we quote is the price you get. As long as your car matches what you described, nothing changes at pickup.
Tell us a time that works for you, anywhere in Santa Margarita or San Luis Obispo County. We come to you — you don't drive anywhere.
Selling a car in California takes a few forms, and our driver brings what's needed and walks you through it. Don't have the title? That's usually workable — just tell us up front. The one thing we can't buy is a car with an active lien or title loan on it.
The tow costs you nothing — it isn't folded into the offer or taken out afterward. You're paid on the spot at pickup, before the car ever leaves your driveway.
Every car we buy may be resold at auction, used for parts, or recycled at a licensed California yard. Nothing gets dumped or left behind.
Every car we look at in Santa Margarita falls into one of a few buckets below — and every one of them gets a real cash offer.
Starts, drives, and still has life left in it. These usually get our strongest offers since less work is needed before resale.
Rusted through, stripped, or simply too far gone to drive again. We still buy these and pay based on weight and scrap value.
Carries a salvage title or was written off by insurance after an accident. We buy these with or without paperwork in hand.
Blown engine, seized motor, slipping gears, or stuck in park — mechanical failures like these don't change whether we'll buy it, just the number.
Lost it or never had it? Missing paperwork slows things down a little, but it rarely stops a sale. The one exception: we can't buy a car that still has an active lien or title loan on it.
Cash for my junk was fast and easy.
Loved the quick service and tow removal on my time.

Santa Margarita, whose name means "St. Margaret" in Spanish, is an unincorporated community nestled in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains in San Luis Obispo County. The town's roots run deep into California history, named after the Italian Saint Margaret of Cortona, a 13th-century saint. The Santa Margarita Valley had long served as a meeting place for the northern Chumash and southern Salinan peoples around 6500 BCE, with its year-round running streams and abundant acorns supporting the region's first inhabitants. In 1776, the de Anza Expedition passed through the area, and around 1775, Father Junipero Serra established the Santa Margarita de Cortona Asistencia as a sub-mission to serve the broader Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa.
The modern town of Santa Margarita was founded in 1889 when the Southern Pacific Railroad reached the area from Templeton on April 20. This arrival sparked remarkable growth, as Santa Margarita became a crucial hub while the railroad was being constructed down the Cuesta Grade. The town boasted hotels, restaurants, taverns, blacksmiths, and other businesses serving freight handlers and travelers. This prosperity continued through the 1920s when the El Camino Real, which became the town's main street, drew visitors traveling through California. However, the completion of the railroad to San Luis Obispo in 1894 and later the bypass of Highway 101 in 1956 quieted the town considerably. Today, Santa Margarita is home to approximately 1,291 residents and has become a quiet artist and family community.
