I'm Todd, founder of Junk Car Medics. I've been helping people sell junk cars for cash in Bakersfield 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 36 vehicles for an average price of $505. 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!

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 196 tons of metal, safely drained more than 2,354 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 1,939 usable parts from Bakersfield vehicles this year.
