IMPORTANT: Always sell your junk vehicle to a licensed salvage deeler!!
Always sale your junk vehicle to a licensed salvage dealer!! Only a licensed salvage automobile dealer can turn the title into the state and has the proper paperwork to report that the vehicle is no longer in your possession anymore.
When a licensed salvage auto buyer purchases you junk vehicle they will then fill out a register and turn your title into the state of Texas. The state of Texas the marks your title as sold for salvage. /this protects you against any liabilities that may come up from your vehicle.
A Texas Licensed Salvage dealer has to remove all registration, stickers and plates, then destroy them. This is for your protection.
Let me give you a scenario. You call up a company out of your local paper or off of a sign, this bandit junk buyer comes out and buys your junk car. The bandit junk buyer then repairs a few things on your vehicle and sales it to the guy down the street, then that guy sales it to another guy, never transferring the title.
Well you have a car running around in your name that you are responsible for. Let’s say the last guy that bought the car is a bad character and goes out drinking and driving. He hits a family in your old vehicle and hurts someone or even flees the scene. Well that vehicle is in your name you are held liable for it.
By using a State licensed Auto Dealer you protect yourself against this. If you are in doubt ask the buyer to show you his license. If he doesn’t have, which you have to carry it on you, you can call Texas Department of Transportation, (TXDOT) to verify that they are valid.
Even if you do not sell us your vehicle please make sure you sell it to a Texas Licensed Salvage Dealer. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call us at

Teaser Quotes and Junk Car buyer scams. BEWARE!!
A Teaser quote is when you call a buyer and they knowingly offer you more then what they will pay for your junk car. This is a very bad and deceptive practice. We at Houston Junk Car Do Not practice this.
The reason the other junk car buyers in Houston do this is to get out to the car. Once they are at the location of your vehicle they feel like they can find a fault in your vehicle or tell you that it isn’t as you described to them over the phone and go down on the price.
This is a horrible practice. I wish the companies that do this would stop. But we all know that there are bad in all industries.
We will never do this to you. We ask you a few questions about your vehicle then give you an estimate about how much we are willing to pay for your vehicle. Simple as that. If there is a possibility that we may change the price we will tell you at the time of your call.

This is a copy of a post from the site I was talking about above. Junk car Buyer
I wanted to get a junk car out of my yard
I submitted my info to a couple of the free junk car sites, but nobody wanted it. I was getting threatened by the homeowners association. The got the city of Houston involved. I was looking at illegal parking fines plus fines from the home owner assoc.
I did a search for junk car blogs hoping that I would find some good information to help me. I found a junk car blog it was full of useful information. I was an educated seller after reading the blog.
I called the company up and explained my problem and that I was willing to give the junk car away, I just wanted it gone. The woman that answered informed me that they would pay me for the car and throw in free towing. I was ecstatic.
The next day they showed up on time and picked up the car. They had me fill out a few pieces of paper and give a copy of my drivers license. That was it. Was as simple as that.
If you are looking for a junk car buyer then these are your people. I will copy some of there post here later.
