CarBrain Reviews

Yes! CarBrain is a reliable and trustworthy company with over a decade of experience buying less-than-perfect cars. With thousands of positive reviews online and an A rating with the Better Business Bureau, we’re confident in the quality of our service.

At CarBrain, we work with a well-curated network of junk car buyers across the nation to ensure that we provide attentive and prompt service for all our clients. Our excellent customer service and intelligent price engine make our service stand head and shoulders above the competitors. We are the marketplace for less-than-perfect cars.

CarBrain has been buying damaged cars for 13 years. Originally founded as “DamagedCars.com” in 2007, we rebranded under the name “CarBrain” in 2017 after developing our custom-built, intelligent price engine for pricing cars fast.

Our team is managed by the founders of CAS Auto, which was established in 1985 as “College Auto Sales.” We operate out of sunny Miami Lakes, Florida.

Nothing! There are no fees whatsoever for using CarBrain. We provide FREE towing and FREE title transfer with all our offers.

When you get a guaranteed quote from CarBrain, you will receive that exact amount in full when we pick up your vehicle. There’s no hidden fees of any kind. You get paid — not us.

In most cases, CarBrain requires a title to purchase a vehicle. However, there are some exceptions — for instance, if you are selling a car to us from California, we can purchase the vehicle with the registration documents only.

If you have lost a title, our Associate Buyers can walk you through the process of obtaining a duplicate title in your state. Learn more about title requirements here.

No. In order to complete the sale of vehicles, we require buyers to sign and transfer over a certified title of the vehicle documenting the sale of the car. When we receive the vehicle, we will complete the title transfer and send you a Bill of Sale documenting that we have purchased the car. You will not be liable for the vehicle after selling your car to us.

CarBrain will buy any car with body damage or mechanical problems. Here are some examples of cars we’ve purchased in the past:

• Cars with engine issues

• Collision-damaged vehicles

• Cars that are no longer running

• Cars that have engine problems

• Junk cars that are undrivable

• Toyota Tacomas with a bad engine

• BMW’s with damage from a tree

• Trucks that don’t start anymore

In short, over our time in this industry, we’ve made offers on practically any vehicle under the sun. While we may not have seen it all yet, it’s not much longer until we have.

There are instances, however, where we will not purchase your vehicle. These include:

• Cars With No Title (Depending On Location)

• Cars With No Engine Or Transmission

• Used Cars With No Damage

• Cars With Negative Equity

• Cars In Areas With No Buyers

• Outside the Continental USA

If our offer exceeds the value of the existing lien, CarBrain can buy your car. However, if the lien held on the vehicle is higher than the offer we give you, we cannot purchase the car.

CarBrain does not work with your insurance to purchase your vehicle. However, in most states, you do have the option to buy back or retain your car with a salvage title after your insurance has declared it a total loss. If this is so, you can get a check from your insurance company, keep the totaled car, and then sell it to CarBrain. In this way, you can get two checks for your total loss vehicle.

CarBrain promises to pick up your vehicle within 24-48 business hours of accepting your offer. We ensure prompt pickup, and payment is given on the spot when our driver arrives to pick up your car.

Although we cannot guarantee same-day pickups, let your Associate Buyer know if your vehicle is accumulating fees in its current location. We can attempt to prioritize your vehicle pickup to reduce the fees you accumulate. Keep in mind that CarBrain will not cover any fees that you are charged by a third party.
