FAQ About Our Cash for Cars Service in Oakland

What do I need to sell my car in Oakland?

To sell your junk car in Oakland, California, you need a valid title, current registration, government-issued ID, and all vehicle keys. Lost titles can be replaced by submitting form REG 227 to the California DMV with the required fee. Without a title, some buyers may accept registration and a REG 138 release of liability form, though this limits options and may lower the offered price.

Most vehicles in Oakland are picked up within 24 to 48 hours. Many transactions happen within hours of accepting your offer.

Who buys my junk car?

We work with licensed buyers, auto salvage and junkyards, and nationwide auctions to get you the best price for your junk car.

How much money will I get for my car in Oakland?

Offers in Oakland typically range from $300 to $1,500, depending on the vehicle. Factors include condition, age, title status, and current scrap metal prices. Get a free instant quote to see what your car is worth.
