Where to sell a junk car in Houston

2 min read

H-Town might be at the heart of a gas guzzling state but it’s working hard to go green. There are a whole bunch of initiatives to incentivize Houstonites to upgrade their old car for an electric vehicle. The Texas EV rebate program offers a $2,500 rebate to anyone who buys an electric car (and that’s on top of the $7,500 federal tax credit electric car owners can claim).

And the city is not just modernizing, it’s growing too. There’s a whole influx of new citizens working in the energy, tech and medical sectors.

It means more people than ever are looking at their old car and thinking, as Houston’s homegrown hometown queen Beyonce put it: “I could have another you in a minute…”

If you’re one of those people, and are thinking about cashing in your old car for something newer (or greener) then there’s obviously a ton of scrap yards you could visit in the city. But is that really the easiest way to sell a junk car in Houston?

ummm…can we tell you about Peddle?

Peddle was started as a new way to sell second-hand cars—whether they’re still driving, or set for the salvage yard. With us, there’s no need to deal with the hassle of driving around to meet different buyers. We’ve created a system where you can do the whole thing online and we’ll send something to come and pick it up (for free!).

So far, people seem to be into it. We’ve got some ace reviews (see for yourself) and they keep on coming.

Our HQ is in Texas (we’re based down in Austin), so we have a soft spot for the folks in Houston. We actually buy cars all over the US, from Chicago to San Francisco.

so how can I sell my junk car in Houston?

Swing on over to Peddle.com and let us know some basic deets about your car. You’ll probably know these off the top of your head: year, make, model…

And even if it’s destined for the scrap yard, we’ll give you an offer. Then we’ll send a pickup to collect your car and hand you a check. The whole thing should be done and dusted in a day or two.

So if you’re fed up driving your gas guzzler and want to level up to something electric (or even just a bit more efficient) Peddle is in Houston to help you make the city (and your wallet) a little greener.

Super easy to work with! Got way more value for my car than anyone else would offer. The online process was simple to use. The person picking up the car was professional and straightforward. Pleased with my experience! Definitely recommend.

I've used them twice to get rid of cars either not running or not in good shape. Fair offer, you know just what you're getting. And you don't have to worry about a bunch of spam calls or waiting on competing offers like you do other places. The company partner contacted me same day and were very quick to schedule.

What a great experience! Very easy. Sad to see my car dead on the side of the road, but Peddle made everything smooth: I did the online quote, they sent a truck out the next day, and I was paid immediately. Thank you, Peddle!

Was very skeptical at first. But after using Peddle I can't believe what an amazing experience. They went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. I now sing the praises of this website to everyone I know. Thanks again for such an incredible process from start to finish. You have certainly raise the bar.

Selling my old junk car couldn't have been easier than what this was. A couple of clicks on the keyboard one or two phone calls between transport and was done!!! Happy with the price I got, trade in prices were much lower than what I got from peddle. If there is a need to use this service again I will gladly do it!!

Peddle made the process to sell my 2007 Honda Fit super easy. Received a quote within minutes of submitting my information and their price was significantly higher than others. Their local pick-up partner was also responsive and worked with me on what could have been a logistical nightmare. Highly Recommend.

Awesome experience! I was apprehensive at first because everything seemed too simple. I answered a few questions, received a quote and scheduled pick up. Communication is excellent. The pick-up driver was very professional and knowledgeable. I got $685 for my 2004 Lexus ES

This has been the easiest way to take care of my car after the engine broke. They were fast, smooth, convenient and professional. Everything from scheduling to pick up to the offer and payment was a breeze. Will definitely recommend

My mother's 2003 Nissan Xterra had a broken timing belt and was too old to consider such a costly repair. We just needed to get rid of it. Peddle was hassle-free, very responsive, and gave us same-day service with a great offer!

This was such a quick and easy service to use! I cleaned my things out of the vehicle and it was ready to be picked up. I went online last night, it was towed this afternoon. My tow driver Will, is awesome!! Thank you so much, I definitely thought this was going to be a hassle and it couldn't have been more simple!

Peddle gave me the best offer of the four companies I contacted. The tow people (a really nice couple!) showed up as scheduled, handed over the check and towed away my terminal old Camry. I really nice experience and I would recommend Peddle wholeheartedly.

Very easy and fast process. Peddle offered me significantly more than other companies. In less than 24-hrs from clicking the "Accept Offer" button, my 2015 Toyota Highlander was picked up and check in hand. Could not have gone any better. Highly recommend!
