Gilbert grew from farm town to one of the largest municipalities in the state without widening much of anything, so the collisions here happen on surface streets like Val Vista, Higley and Greenfield as often as on the Santan.
Free pickup in Gilbert, about fifteen minutes from our Mesa yard. Paid in full before the truck leaves.

Why Gilbert
What we see in Gilbert
Family vehicles dominate here, which means SUVs and three-row crossovers. Those are heavy, expensive to repair, and reach an insurer total-loss line faster than owners expect. They are also worth considerably more than a junkyard will tell you.
We buy across Agritopia, Morrison Ranch, Val Vista Lakes, Seville, Power Ranch, the Heritage District and Cooley Station, and we know the roads your
claim adjuster is going to ask about: the Loop 202 Santan, the US-60 and Val Vista Drive.
What the gap actually looks like
A scrap-weight quote prices your car as metal. We price it as a vehicle, using year, make, model,
trim, mileage and where the damage sits. On a 2016 Hyundai Sonata the scrap quote was $475 and we paid
$1,350. On a 2020 Toyota Highlander XLE that the owner had been told was finished, we paid $12,500.

On the ground
The cars we actually collect in Gilbert
Most Gilbert calls involve family vehicles hit at surface-street intersections rather than on the freeway, and the ones on Val Vista, Higley and Greenfield tend to be side impacts. Three-row SUVs take that badly and expensively, and they reach a total loss faster than owners expect.
None of that disqualifies a car. Hail, flood, sun damage, denied claims, no keys,
not running, sitting for a year. We buy all of it, and the pickup is free either way.
How it runs
Three steps, and the number does not move
1
Tell us about the car
Year, make, model, trim, rough mileage, what the damage is, whether it runs, your title situation,
and where in Gilbert it is sitting. Photos speed this up more than anything else.
2
Offer in writing, before dispatch
Nothing is dispatched until you accept it, and once you accept, that is what you are paid. We do
not renegotiate in your driveway.
3
Free pickup, paid on the spot
Usually within 24 to 48 hours. Free even if the car does not run, has no keys or has not moved in
a year. Paid in full before it is loaded.
Arizona paperwork
The MVD side, handled with you
Arizona does this differently from California, and two of the differences catch people out.
Your plates come off the car
In Arizona the plates belong to you, not the vehicle. Take them off before pickup. You then have
30 days to move them onto another car or surrender them for a refund of the unused fees.
Your title signature has to be notarized
Arizona requires the seller's signature on the back of the title to be notarized. Do not sign it
in advance at the kitchen table. Tell us when you call and we will sort out the notary as part of the
pickup rather than sending you to find one.
File the Sold Notice within 10 days
The Sold Notice is what ends your liability for the vehicle. File it with the MVD online within 10
calendar days of the sale. It is free and takes a couple of minutes, and it is what stops a towing
bill or a citation finding its way back to you months later.
Salvage and lien situations are routine
If your insurer totaled the car and you kept it, it now carries an Arizona salvage title, and we
buy those regularly. If there is still a loan, bring the lender's payoff information or the lien
release and we will structure the purchase around it.
We are not attorneys and we are not the MVD. If your situation is unusual we
will point you to the specific form rather than guess. The full FAQ goes into more detail.
Where we pick up
Anywhere in Gilbert
Pickup is free everywhere we buy. Driveways, apartment and condo lots, storage
facilities, body shops and tow yards are all routine.
