Sell a Wrecked Car in Miami — Cash for Accident-Damaged Cars & Free Removal

Wrecked, crashed or totaled car in Kendall or Miami-Dade? We buy accident-damaged cars and remove them for free with our wheel-lift tow truck and dollies. Call (305) 310-6148, 24/7.

A crash changes the math on a car fast. Once the repair estimate comes back higher than the car is worth, a lot of Miami drivers end up with a wrecked vehicle parked in the driveway, sitting at a body shop, or waiting in a storage lot while they figure out what to do. ¿Carro chocado? Te lo compramos. At E.T. Towing, we buy wrecked and accident-damaged cars throughout Kendall and Miami-Dade, and because we run our own tow truck, the pickup is part of the deal.

Wrecked, crashed or "not worth fixing" — we still make an offer

You don't need a running, presentable car to sell it to us. We regularly look at vehicles with:

  • Heavy front-end or rear-end collision damage
  • Deployed airbags
  • Bent wheels, broken suspension or wheels that won't turn
  • Frame or unibody damage
  • Cars that don't start or can't be driven after the accident
  • Older cars where any repair simply isn't worth it anymore

If the damage came from water rather than a collision, see our guide to selling a flood-damaged car in Miami.

A few quick checks before you sell

  • Make sure the car is still yours to sell. If your insurance company has already paid out the car as a total loss, ownership may have moved to the insurer. Confirm with your adjuster before you sell. If you kept the car after the claim, you can sell it.
  • Find the title. A title in your name makes everything faster. If it's lost or not in your name, call us anyway and read our guide on selling a junk car without a title.
  • Know where the car is. Home, work, a body shop or a tow yard all work. If the car is at a storage yard, ask the yard what it needs to release the vehicle, since storage fees can keep adding up.
  • Clear it out. Remove personal items, your toll transponder (SunPass) and your license plate. In Florida, the plate stays with you, not the car.

How we tow a wrecked car — wheel-lift towing with dollies

Crash damage often means a car can't roll on its own: a locked wheel, a bent axle, a crushed fender rubbing the tire, or an AWD/4x4 drivetrain that shouldn't be dragged. Our wheel-lift tow truck lifts one end of the car, and we place dollies under the other wheels, so the whole vehicle is off the ground and nothing is dragged. That lets us safely move damaged, non-rolling, AWD, 4x4 and low cars from tight driveways, parking lots and shop lots across Miami-Dade.

Still on the side of the road after a crash? See our accident towing guide and call us first.

How our offer works

Every wrecked car is different, so we don't quote off a generic price list. Your offer depends on the year, make and model, the damage, which parts are still good, and whether you have the title. Tell us about the car (photos by WhatsApp help a lot) and we'll give you a straightforward offer. If the car matches what you described, that's what we pay at pickup. Curious how value is figured?

FAQ

Do you buy cars that were totaled by insurance?

Yes, as long as you still own the car. If the insurer paid the claim and took ownership, the car belongs to them. If you kept it, we can make you an offer.

Can you pick up a wrecked car that doesn't roll?

Yes. We use a wheel-lift tow truck with dollies, so cars with locked or damaged wheels, AWD and 4x4 vehicles can be moved without dragging.

Can you pick up from a body shop or tow yard?

Yes. Let us know where the car is, and check with the shop or yard about anything they need before releasing it.

Do I need to be there at pickup?

Usually the owner (or someone authorized) should be there to sign the paperwork and hand over the keys and title. Call us and we'll go over your situation.
