Cash for wrecked and totaled cars in Texas, paid on the spot
Rear-ended on I-35? Hailed on in Fort Worth? Flooded in Houston? We buy wrecked, totaled and damaged vehicles across all of Texas. Real offers, free pickup, and cash in your hand before the truck leaves your driveway.
Three steps, and the number does not move between them
1
Tell us about your car
Year, make, model, mileage, and what happened to it. Photos help us give you our strongest number the first time.
2
Get a real cash offer
Our offers are built on actual purchase data from thousands of damaged vehicles, not a lowball designed to be negotiated up. The number you see is the number you are paid.
3
Free pickup, cash on the spot
We schedule pickup anywhere in Texas at no charge. You sign the title, no notary needed in Texas, and you are paid in cash before the truck leaves. Most sellers are done within 24 to 48 hours.
What pickup looks like
Keys one way, cash the other, at the same moment
No waiting period, no mailed check, no fees deducted at the door. The amount you were quoted is the amount that changes hands, and it happens before the vehicle is loaded and gone.
The person who arrives works for the company that quoted you. You are not handing your car to a contracted tow driver who has never spoken to you.
Texas leads the nation in hail claims. Hail-totaled late models are one of our most common purchases. Cosmetic damage means your car is worth far more in cash than any scrap quote.
Flood and water damage
Houston, Harris County and Gulf Coast flood vehicles, including insurance-branded flood titles.
Totaled cars
Declared a total loss by insurance, including owner-retained vehicles you kept after your settlement.
Collision and frame damage
Front-end hits, rear-enders, rollovers, and the repair estimate nobody wants to see.
Tornado, wind and debris
From the Panhandle to North Texas, storm-damaged vehicles in every condition.
Fire damage
Engine fires, electrical fires, partial burns.
Mechanical failures
Blown engines, dead transmissions, cooked air conditioning, cars that will not start.
Salvage and rebuilt titles
A clean title is not required. We pay cash for branded-title vehicles every week.
Not sure which one yours is?
Call and describe it.
Whatever happened to it, we have bought one like it. Tell us honestly what is wrong and the offer accounts for it.
By make
Sell a wrecked Toyota, Ford or Hyundai in Texas
Toyota
Tacomas, Tundras, Camrys and RAV4s hold serious value even totaled. Toyota drivetrains are in demand nationwide, and our offers reflect it.
Ford
F-150s, Explorers and Flexes with collision or hail damage are worth far more than scrap weight. Texas is F-Series country, and we pay accordingly.
Hyundai
Santa Fes, Tucsons, Elantras and Sonatas. Wrecked, flooded or stolen-recovered, we buy them in every condition.
Why Texas sellers choose us
We are the actual buyer, and we bring the cash
We buy the vehicle ourselves with our own money, which is why our offers hold up at pickup. The business that quoted you is the business that arrives with the cash.
No pickup fees, no towing charges, no deductions at the door.
What that changes
Four things the big national sites do differently
We specialize in damage. We price vehicles on what your specific car is actually worth in today's market.
We know Texas. No notary needed on your title, plates stay with you, and the TxDMV Vehicle Transfer Notification protects you.
Statewide free pickup. Anywhere in Texas, at no charge, including vehicles that do not run.
One company throughout. Not an estimate brokered out to whichever yard bids for it, and not a finder's fee taken out of your cash at the door.
Our two promises
We will beat a junkyard quote, and the number will not move
Two commitments, and one question we want you to ask every buyer you call,
including us.
1
Bring us the junkyard’s number and we will beat it
Show us a written quote from a junkyard or scrap yard on the same vehicle and we will
beat it. Not match it. Beat it.
That is not a stunt, it is arithmetic. A yard prices your car by what it weighs. We
price it by what it is: year, make, model, trim, mileage, and where the damage sits. On
anything late-model those two numbers are not close. A 2016 Sonata was quoted $475 as
scrap. We paid $1,350.
2
The price we quote is the price you are paid
Your offer is issued in writing before a truck is dispatched. It does not change when
the driver arrives, it does not get revised once the car is on the deck, and there is no
discovery of a problem on pickup day that costs you a few hundred.
The only thing that can move the number is discovering the vehicle is materially
different from how you described it. Describe it honestly and the number you accepted is
the number you are handed.
Ask every buyer this before you accept
“Will this price change when the driver gets here?”
Ask us. Then ask everyone else you call, and listen closely to the answer. A buyer who
will not commit to the number on the phone has told you what happens next. The most common
complaint we hear from sellers is not that an offer was low. It is that the offer was
lowered in the driveway, after the car was already loaded and saying no had become
difficult.
The one exception, said up front. On a very old, high-mileage shell,
scrap weight may genuinely be close to what the vehicle is worth, and there may be little
room to beat. If that is your car, we will tell you on the phone rather than waste your
afternoon. We would rather lose the sale than talk you into a bad one.
Texas paperwork
Texas title and paperwork, handled
Selling a damaged car in Texas is simpler than most people think, and we walk you through every step.
No notary required
Texas titles only need your signature as the seller. Our driver handles the paperwork with you at pickup.
Keep your plates
In Texas, license plates stay with the seller. Remove them before pickup.
File your Vehicle Transfer Notification
Submitting the TxDMV transfer notification within 30 days protects you from tolls and tickets after the sale. We will remind you at pickup.
Lost your title?
A certified copy from TxDMV, form VTR-34, usually takes just a few days, and we will hold your offer while you get it.

Reviews
What sellers say
Texas Wrecked Cars is a TrackWala affiliate. These are Google reviews of
TrackWala, the company that buys the vehicles, quoted exactly as they were written.
★★★★★
These guys were so easy to deal with. They made me an offer, I accepted the offer, and they called me with pick up time. Then they showed up right on time with my check for the agreed on amount. Thank you so much Trackwala.
I had got a quote from a different company that Court horse me into signing the title and the wrong spot before they give me a price once I signed it they give me a price that was real low so I moved on to a different company and when they came to pick the vehicle up since I signed it there it blocked them from selling the car to me so I reach out to this company and he was able to coach me in the right spot to get the title fixed and my girlfriend entered in the wrong mileage which made the car worth more and he quoted the higher price and still honored the higher price even though the mileage was incorrect he's a good man good company I recommend them highly
I have had the best experience with trackwala Sam has been so awesome in preparing everything that was needed he was right on with everything and quick to respond and everything was just a really great experience I would recommend them to anybody
Yes. Whether insurance declared it a total loss or you kept the vehicle after your settlement, known as owner-retained, you can sell it. We buy totaled vehicles across Texas every week, including cars with salvage titles.
How much is a hail-damaged car worth in Texas?
Usually far more cash than scrap value. Hail damage is cosmetic. The drivetrain, interior and electronics are untouched, so a late-model hail-totaled truck or SUV can be worth thousands more than a junk buyer will offer. Our offers are built on real purchase data for hail vehicles specifically.
Do I need a notary to sell my car in Texas?
No. Texas titles do not require notarization, just your signature as the seller. Our driver handles the paperwork with you at pickup.
Do you charge for towing or pickup?
Never. Pickup is free anywhere in Texas, and nothing is deducted from your offer at the door.
How fast do I get paid, and do you pay cash?
Cash on the spot, at pickup. Most sellers complete the entire process within 24 to 48 hours of accepting their offer.
What if I can't find my title?
You can order a certified copy from TxDMV using form VTR-34. It typically arrives within a few business days. Let us know and we will keep your offer active while you wait.
Do you buy cars that do not run?
Yes. Blown engines, dead transmissions, flood-damaged, burned, or cars that simply will not start. Running condition does not matter, and pickup is still free.
Where we buy
Cash for wrecked cars in every major Texas city
Pickup is free everywhere we buy, and the offer is the same number wherever the car is parked.
