We Pay Cash for Cars in Bakersfield, CA

CASH IN YOUR VEHICLE TODAY!

If you have a vehicle that you need to sell, don’t waste your time going to other companies that offer cash for cars in Bakersfield or other dealerships that promise to buy your cars. These places only serve one purpose and that is to give you as little cash as they can for your vehicle.

Yikes! That does not sound like a good deal, does it? Yeah, we didn’t think so either. We have had customers come into our office and tell us that they only received a small amount for their other vehicle and how were we able to offer them so much? We want to let you in on a little secret – we don’t try to make a profit off of you. Yep, that is it right there. We want YOU to be paid fairly for your vehicle and we will not give you the run around about how steel is priced too low or how vehicles don’t sell for much. Nope. Not us.

At SellMax, we are an honest company that is dedicated to being there for you and offering you the HIGHEST price for your vehicle. We only want one thing and that is for YOU to walk away with a smile on your face. Who knew you could get so much cash for your vehicle!

Okay, okay, we know you probably do not believe us right now, but you can test us out to see if we are just blowing smoke under your feet. We will give you a FREE quote for your vehicle and the best part? If you don’t like it, refuse it. But, we know you won’t because we are confident that we offer the most cash for cars in Bakersfield.

We Come to You FREE of Charge

One of the awesome things about SellMax is that we are able to come out to your location and pick up your vehicle FREE of charge. Yes, you read that right. F-R-E-E. FREE.

We will never charge you a dime to come get your vehicle and you can keep all of that cash for yourself. Many other companies expect you to take the vehicle to them, but not us. We never want you to be inconvenienced and we will come out to your home or any other location that you want us to.

Our Car Selling Process is Simplified for Ease

Ever try to sell your vehicle to another company or dealership and they want you to jump through a ton of hoops to do it? After you receive your quote, you have already wasted several hours and your vehicle has been driven by everyone in the shop. Oh, and let’s not forget that wimpy quote they just gave you citing that is all they can possibly offer for your vehicle.

Ha! SellMax just has to laugh at these places because they are a joke. We are the only HONEST and FAIR cash for cars company in all of Bakersfield. We won’t yank you around and we sure as heck won’t try to rip you off either.

Our Process Step by Step

1. The first step in the process requires you to go to our website and tell us about your vehicle. We will need the vehicle’s location, condition, year, make, and model. That’s it.

2. We will then provide you with an instant cash offer on your screen. Now, we do recommend that you brace yourself because you will be blown away at how AWESOME the cash offer truly is.

3. If you are happy with the cash offer, which we are certain you will be, you can then schedule a time and place to meet with one of our car consultants. Upon arrival, they will take a quick look at your vehicle and have you sign some paperwork.

4. Once everything is signed, we will then hand you the cash you are owed and take your vehicle from the location.

Working with SellMax is as easy as it gets and we are proud to be able to provide you with a no hidden or surprise fees policy.

Sean’s Expert Take on the Bakersfield Market

Sean Pour has spent nearly 20 years in the cash for junk cars business. As co-founder, he’s built pricing algorithms and helped thousands of people sell junk cars in Bakersfield.

I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Bakersfield, CA as of October, the market looks stable. Offers are essentially flat compared with last month with no big shifts in parts demand or scrap inputs, and the citywide average payout is about $585.

We are seeing a steady mix of everyday crossovers and compact hatches. Honda CR V and Kia Soul show up often, and pricing reflects condition and trim. Compact cars usually land between $360 and $502, while trucks and SUVs often exceed $800 and can reach $1,544 when the drivetrain and body are in decent shape. That lines up with what sellers expect right now, with no sharp moves in either direction.

As for why folks are selling, 30% cite engine problems, 22% collision or body damage, 22% a missing catalytic converter, 20% a failed inspection, and 6% transmission failure. Tow times are short, with a median pickup of 2 hours 33 minutes, and 90% of vehicles are collected within 24 hours, so most deals wrap up quickly after an offer is accepted. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.

Cash For Cars Frequently Asked Questions

Do you buy junk cars near me?

Yes, we do buy near you! We serve Bakersfield and nearby areas including Oildale, Shafter, Arvin, Lamont, Wasco, Tehachapi, Delano, Boron, Kernville, Mojave, and many more.

What paperwork do I need to sell my car?

Ready to part ways with your car? You'll need a couple of key pieces of paperwork to get started. First up is your government-issued ID, just to confirm you’re the one behind the wheel.

Next, make sure you have the title for the vehicle. If you find yourself without the title but your car has been paid off and was titled in California, don’t worry just yet. We can still help you out with the reg227 form. Simple as that.

How are junk cars recycled in Bakersfield?

When you recycle your car, you’re entrusting it to a licensed buyer who knows just how to breathe new life into those old wheels. Here in Bakersfield, we prioritize what’s important: parts and scrap metal. Plus, we adhere to California’s environmental rules, ensuring every car gets the treatment it deserves. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 824 tons of metal, safely drained more than 6,078 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 4,838 usable parts from vehicles. It’s all about reducing waste and giving those parts a chance to shine again.

Our customers love us!

The team was very helpful with my first experience of junking a car. I forgot to complete the transfer process, but they quickly provided the necessary DMV information when I reached out. Their friendly and efficient service made everything much easier for me.
