Any Types of Car Titles Accepted

You can sell your used car in Oakland, CA:

  • without title

  • salvage title
  • non-repairable title

Let us handle the paperwork and pickup, so you can enjoy a quick and easy process!

In California, around 800,000 vehicles receive a junk or non-repairable Vehicle Certificate or a Salvage Title each year. This number reflects the reality for many car owners who find themselves with vehicles that just aren’t worth repairing. If you have an unwanted car, you’re not alone. Many residents face this issue, and there are options available to you. You might wonder if it's possible to sell a car in California without a title. The short answer is no. A valid title is generally required to transfer ownership. If you’re missing the title, you must apply for a replacement before you can complete the sale. Getting a replacement title in California isn't overly complicated, but it does require some steps. You will need to fill out the appropriate forms and submit them to the DMV. Once your request is processed, a new title will be issued. For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the California DMV website. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at JunkCarsUs by calling (510) 633-8018. We're here to help you navigate these processes.
