Unlike local Austin junkyards that will typically offer per-pound scrap prices for damaged cars, our advanced pricing system takes key factors into consideration. Our system accounts for any optional extras, premium features or aftermarket additions that could help you get a price offer for your vehicle. If you’re not 100% satisfied with your quote, you can just contact a CarBrain representative to talk about getting more.
CarBrain is dedicated to making the process of getting cash for cars as fast, simple and easy as possible for you. No need to haggle at junkyards or make listings to find a private buyer. CarBrain plugs you into a statewide network of junk car buyers to find the one that wants your car the most, so we can get you a fair price for your car, truck or SUV. This makes selling an old car a breeze for you. Once you’ve locked in your offer, we’ll be there in 24-48 hours to pick up your old damaged car for FREE and put payment in your hand.
Austin is the only city in the world that still operates a system of “Moonlight Towers,” 165-foot tall structures that have been used to light the city at night for over a century. One of these towers was featured in the hit film Dazed & Confused.
Here at CarBrain, our FREE towing service extends all over the Austin area and nearby towns including Bastrop, Cedar Park, Driftwood, Florence, Elgin, Georgetown and Lago Vista. Even if you’re in a small town or neighborhood on the edge of Austin, we’ll come to your home or office to pick up that old clunker and put payment in your hand in 48 hours or less.

What should you know before selling to a junkyard or private buyers 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.
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.
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.
trading in a wrecked vehicle with CarBrain is easy and simple. Just show up, hand over the keys, get your check, and the driver will do the rest!
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.
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!
