My car is parked on the street. Is that a problem?

In most cases across California, yes, a title is required to prove ownership. However, depending on the age of the vehicle and local regulations in Santa Barbara County, alternative paperwork (like a registration and ID) may be accepted. Our system will let you know instantly based on your inputs.

Will you buy my car if it has missing parts?

Yes, we buy vehicles even if they are missing major components like the engine, transmission, or wheels. Just be sure to accurately describe the condition when requesting your quote so we can give you a precise offer.
