How Much Can I Receive for My Scrap Car in Austin, Texas?

The value of your scrap vehicle depends on its size and where it's currently located. Skilled car appraisers can properly recycle the scrap pieces and metals inside your vehicle, like steel, aluminum and platinum, to melt down and reuse them for other products. How much you get for your car depends on nearby market demands in Austin and the current going rate of different metals.

The easiest and most convenient way to learn what your scrap car is currently worth is to receive an estimate from CarBrain.com.

CarBrain can pay for your scrap car in any condition. When you simply write down the details of your salvage car, we will give you a cash estimate — you'll be done in 90 seconds with a few clicks of your mouse. Next item on the list is scheduling towing for your vehicle and grabbing your payment.

That's it. You're done.

There's A Lien On My Car's Title. Can I Still Sell It?

CarBrain.com will only purchase vehicles with liens on them if our quote is equal to or greater than the value of the lien. Unfortunately, if your car has negative equity, we won't be purchasing it, as it wouldn't make sense for us to do so.

If your car was declared a total loss, you may be able to get a check from your insurance company, retain it, and then get a second check from CarBrain. This would allow you to maximize the value received from the sale of the car.

Who Is Going To Haul Away My Car When I Sell It?

CarBrain.com will haul away any vehicle we buy for free thanks to the help of our tow truck drivers in Austin, TX. You do not need to find a tow truck company to pick up your car. We will come to you in one to two business days with a check in hand for the exact amount that you agreed to.

Keep in mind that our service providers cannot tow cars left in a spot inaccessible to tow trucks or on the side of the road.

Will You Buy A Car Declared A Total Loss By My Insurance Company?

Our company has no problem buying uninsured vehicles or vehicles declared a total loss. Insurance coverage does not affect our estimates. If you have insurance and your insurer declared your car a total loss, you can ask to retain the salvage title.

By doing this, your insurance company will send you both a check for your car's pre-accident value — minus the deductible and their expected profit from selling your totaled car — and its title. Then, you can connect back with CarBrain and get a second check for your car!
