Proof of Ownership

Our Pennsylvania title-signing guide covers the notarization process.

Pittsburgh FAQs
Do you buy rust-damaged cars in Pittsburgh?
Yes. Rust is one of the most common conditions we see on Pittsburgh-area vehicles — winter road salt takes a serious toll on frames and body panels over time. Enter your vehicle’s condition honestly in the valuation tool, including the extent of rust damage, and you’ll receive an offer that reflects its actual state.
Do you buy cars that failed Pennsylvania’s emissions inspection in Pittsburgh?
Yes. Allegheny County is one of the Pennsylvania counties that require annual emissions testing. If your vehicle failed inspection and repair costs aren’t worth it, we can still value and purchase it. A failed inspection doesn’t disqualify a sale.
Can I sell a car with a blown engine in Pittsburgh?
Yes. Enter your vehicle’s condition in the online tool — engine issue and all — and you’ll get an offer reflecting its actual state. If it qualifies, we come to you anywhere in the Pittsburgh metro. No repairs needed.
Will you buy a car with a bad transmission in Pittsburgh?
Yes. Transmission failure is accounted for in our valuation. Enter your vehicle’s details online and the system returns a market-based offer for your car in its current condition.
Do you buy totaled or salvage-title cars in Pittsburgh?
Yes. A salvage title is still a title, and Pennsylvania lets you transfer a Certificate of Salvage to a buyer as-is — so you don’t need to repair, inspect, or reconstruct the vehicle before selling it to us. (Reconstruction and an enhanced safety inspection only come into play if someone wants to put it back on the road.) Whether your title is salvage or reconstructed, enter your details online for an offer.
What do I need to prove ownership at pickup?
To complete the sale, you’ll need to prove ownership of your vehicle — in most cases that means your signed vehicle title. Lost it? Apply for a replacement through PennDOT before scheduling.
See our Pennsylvania title-signing FAQ for guidance on notarization.
Is pickup really free in Pittsburgh?
Yes. There’s no charge to pick up or tow your car. Payment is by check once we take ownership of the vehicle.
