The wait time is the difference between the time that you call and accept your top dollar offer and the time that the tow truck operator is scheduled to come and tow your junk car. That could be the same day but is usually within 24 hours or so. The tow operator will hitch up your vehicle and give you your guaranteed payment in exchange for the properly signed documents which are your title and registration. The signed copy effectively transfers ownership of the vehicle to us. You should avoid any junk car buyer that does not pay you up front then you might want to be leery and find another place to sell your vehicle.

We would love to pay everyone in cash but that is not possible. What determines whether you get paid in cash or a check are a few factors. How much are you being paid and the location of your vehicle pick up are considered as well as the tow truck operators ability to safely and securely transport large amounts of cash. Even if you get a check it is as good as cash because you can cash or deposit it within your account as soon as you receive it.
