(2.816) Google reviewsDespite its small size, Des Moines is an economic powerhouse of the Midwest. Named the “Best Place for Business” and the “Wealthiest City in America,” by Forbes & NBC respectively, Des Moines is a perfect place to start building your career—and your fortune.
But if you’ve got a junk car that can’t reliably make the commute to work, then your career could end up stuck in neutral. Get rid of that old clunker and put quick cash in your pocket with CarBrain, the nation’s leading buyer of less-than-perfect cars. We pay more than local scrap yards by connecting you to a nationwide network of approved junk car buyers who want your vehicle. With our online pricing tool, you will get a guaranteed, no-hassle offer in 90 seconds or less, with FREE towing and removal from your home or office.
Over the last seven years, the experts at CarBrain have made over a million offers on damaged, junk and salvage cars just like yours. In that time, we’ve earned some of the highest ratings in the industry, thanks in large part to our haggle-free, hassle-free buying system that puts you in the driver’s seat.
The answer is almost always “yes.” We buy junk cars of virtually all makes and models, including trucks, vans and SUV’s regardless of condition or age. Your car can have a blown motor, bad transmission or serious electrical issues, and we’ll still make an offer for its fair market value. Your car doesn’t even have to start or run, because we’ll come to you with FREE towing and removal.
Selling your car in the state of Iowa is a snap. All you will need are the keys and a copy of the title. For titles issued before January 1st 2005, you’ll need to fill out the information on the back. If you can’t find your title, you can file an Application for Replacement of Iowa Certificate of Title (Form 411033) to get a replacement sent to you. And don’t forget to pull off your license plates and remove any personal items from the vehicle.
No two junk cars are created equal, so they can be difficult to appraise. That’s why local scrap yards make such low offers, because they’re just not equipped to determine how much your car is worth. The experts at CarBrain, on the other hand, have been in the business for decades and know how to value your car based on not just the make, model, mileage and condition, but also including key upgrades and optional extras that cost you good money—like leather interiors and sunroofs. That way you’re not throwing away value when you sell your car.
Turn your old junk car into quick cash. With CarBrain, it’s really that simple. You don’t have to waste time and money trekking to local junk yards, or even pick up the phone. Just answer a few simple questions about your vehicle, get your guaranteed offer, then we can send a tow truck and get you paid in just 24-48 hours.
It's simple and it takes less than 90 seconds... click the button below to get started and find out how much your car is worth!

What should you know before selling to a junkyard or private buyers in Des Moines, Iowa?
|
If you want to junk your car for top dollar because it doesn't turn on, you have options. Specialized car buyers in Des Moines can responsibly recycle the components in your car and extract metals like steel, aluminum and platinum. The value of your vehicle's parts depends on its size, where the car is currently located and local market rates for metals.
Market rates can change day to day based on national and even international trends. The easiest way to find out what you can receive for your car in Des Moines is to get a quote from CarBrain!
Typically, you need the title in order to get cash for your vehicle to our company. We can help you get another certified copy of your title if you lost your title. While most states require a title to be able to complete the transfer of a vehicle, some states like California will have different ways of validating ownership.
Check with your state's DMV page to ensure that you have all the required documentation to sell a vehicle. You can also check title requirements in Iowa here: Iowa title resource page.

CarBrain has car buyers in Des Moines, IA to help us buy and remove vehicles. We will send a tow truck driver to you for free — there are no charges for towing. To transfer the car, all you need to do is hand over the car keys and the verified copy of your title.
If you will not be available to transfer the car, any adult 18 years of age or older can transfer the car on your behalf. Let CarBrain know ahead of time, and we will mail the payment to you rather than sending it with our driver.
You can even leave your car's keys and the title in the car for the tow truck driver. However, keep in mind that CarBrain cannot be held liable for unlocked, unsupervised vehicles before our drivers arrive to pick them up. You must decide whether it is safe to do so yourself.
