Non-Running cars we buy in Dickinson
Cars that don't start are our specialty. Free towing is always included — you never need to get the car running to sell it to us.

Our free form refers Dickinson sellers to an online offer for non-running vehicles. If accepted, the buyer arranges towing from an accessible location in Galveston County.
What counts as a non-running car?
Won't start, dead battery, seized engine, blown head gasket, transmission failure, electrical issues — if it can't be driven onto a flatbed, we still want to buy it.
Most cars we purchase don't run. Our offers already assume the worst, so non-running condition usually won't drop your price further.
Free towing — always
Every non-running pickup includes a free flatbed tow. You don't need to push, jump-start, or move the car at all. The driver will winch it from your driveway, yard, or street.
How much is a non-running car worth?
Even non-runners have real value — the catalytic converter, engine block, transmission, body panels, and scrap metal all generate offer dollars.

Selling a junk car in Texas: title & DMV rules
Texas requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Dickinson driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Texas uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond — typically 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value — and the Texas DMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Texas is VTR-130-U + Bonded Title (VTR-130-SOF).
- License plates
- Remove your plates — Texas plates stay with the seller and can be transferred.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- File the Vehicle Transfer Notification (VTR-346) with TxDMV within 30 days — it releases you from liability.
- What Texas salvage buyers must do
- Texas requires a bonded title (Form VTR-130-SOF) when a regular title is unavailable. Licensed metal recyclers can accept vehicles 10+ model years old with photo ID and a Bill of Sale under Tex. Transp. Code §501.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as TX requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current TX payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in Texas.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Texas DMV.
