"The whole process was very easy. I answered a few quick questions, received a quote for my car, and was sent detailed instructions on how to transfer my title and prepare my car. I then received a call from their partner to set a pick-up date. They came on time, gave me a check in the amount promised, and towed my car away. This couldn't have been easier and I'm so grateful for Junk Car Medics."
Todd's Expert Take
I'm Todd, founder of Junk Car Medics. I've been helping people sell junk cars for cash in Santa Ana for over 10 years. I've learned that most sellers want two things — top dollar and fast service. We deliver on both. Our offers are fair, guaranteed, and we'll often match or beat written offers from competitors to earn your business.
Last month alone, we bought more than 33 for an average price of $653. Now is a great time to sell. We're actively paying cash for cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. And there's no car I want to buy more than yours, and I'll prove it with our offer!

Common Questions
Do you buy junk cars in my area?
Yes. Our junk car service buys clunkers across the area, including Tustin, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Orange, Anaheim, Westminster, and Huntington Beach. No matter where you are located we will make you a fair offer and come to you to remove your vehicle at no charge.
What paperwork do I need to sell my junk car?
To sell your junk car in Santa Ana, California, you need a valid title, current registration, government-issued photo ID, and all vehicle keys. Lost titles can be replaced at the California DMV or online by submitting form REG 227 and paying the fee, which takes 15-30 days. Some buyers may accept registration and a release of liability form (REG 138) without a title, but this could lower your offer.
How are junk cars recycled and disposed of?
When you junk cars for cash, you are selling an old, damaged, or non-running vehicle to a licensed buyer, such as an auto salvage yard, junk car buyer, or car recycling facility. The buyer pays for the value of the parts and scrap metal, dismantles it, and recycles or reuses the components responsibly. We work with licensed salvage and car disposal facilities that follow California environmental regulations. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 180 tons of metal, safely drained more than 2,163 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 1,783 usable parts from Santa Ana vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
