Price Lock: no surprise re-pricing
The most common complaint in this industry is simple: the online quote was one number, but the tow truck showed up with a lower one. Here is why that should not happen when you get your offer through us.
The offer you accept is the price you get
We send you straight to our partner Peddle, whose offer is take-it-or-leave-it: the amount you agree to is the amount you should be paid - in full, at pickup, before the car is loaded. It can only change if the car turns out to be materially different from what you described. No vague "market adjustments," no surprise tow fees, no haggling in your driveway.
The honest fine print
We want to be straight with you: we are not the buyer. We do not drive the truck or carry the payment - Peddle does, and we may earn a commission if you sell. What we can tell you is that Peddle gives a written offer up front, includes free towing that is not deducted, and pays at pickup. The only fair reasons an offer should change are things you control by describing your car accurately:
- The car does not run when you said it runs and drives.
- The catalytic converter is gone when you said it was present.
- Major parts (engine, transmission, wheels) have been removed.
- Title or ownership does not match what was described.
Describe the car honestly - on the home page or with our value calculator - and there is nothing for a buyer to re-price.
How to protect yourself
- Get the offer in writing (text or email) before pickup.
- Confirm free towing is included and not deducted.
- Insist on payment at pickup, before the car is loaded.
- Know the warning signs in our guide to avoiding junk car scams.
Frequently asked questions
Only if the car is materially different from what you described - for example, you said it runs but it does not, the catalytic converter is missing when you said it was present, or major parts have been stripped. If the car matches your description, the price should not move.
