Who Is SellMax Though? A Cash For Cars Service In Chula Vista! That's who!

We told you why you should sell us your car, but we didn’t tell you WHO we are just yet. SellMax was founded in 1990 by Tom and Tony. Both of them saw a need in the community and that was to be able to sell a vehicle without the hassle and the rip offs. Very quickly we knew that the Chula Vista, CA area would need our services, so we decided to pursue the market there.

Unfortunately, customer service and fair prices were just not part of the car selling game before SellMax and it was just the name of the game. Once SellMax came around, Tom and Tony put an effective model into place and that was the cash for cars model. This model also came with a buy all vehicles policy, which means that SellMax will purchase any vehicle that you want us to.

From the moment that SellMax opened, business started to boom, and Tom and Tony found themselves opening locations all over the US. SellMax continues to provide fair prices for vehicles and is happy to serve the Chula Vista area as well.

Sean’s Expert Take on the Chula Vista 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 Chula Vista.

    I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Chula Vista, CA as of October, local offers have edged down compared with last month as demand for used parts softens while resale inventory stays high. We are still seeing steady volume on practical sedans, with Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Malibu showing up often. The overall tone is cautious on pricing, but activity remains healthy and buyers remain selective about condition and title history.

    Typical offers citywide are coming in near $592. Compact cars usually land between $402 and $574, while trucks and SUVs often run $853 to $1,156 when condition supports it. That spread reflects what we are quoting across trim levels and miles. If you are moving a Fusion or Malibu with average wear, pricing tends to cluster around the middle of that compact to midsize sedan band.

    Pickup remains efficient. The median time from call to tow is about 1 hour 59 minutes, and 90 percent of vehicles are picked up within 24 hours, so turnaround stays quick. As for why people are selling right now, collision or body damage accounts for 30 percent, missing catalytic converter 25 percent, engine problems 24 percent, transmission failure 15 percent, and failed inspection 6 percent. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.

What paperwork do I need to sell my car?

To sell your car in California, you'll need a government-issued ID and the vehicle's title. Pretty straightforward, right? If you can't find the title but your vehicle's paid off and was titled in California, don't worry just yet. There's a chance we can still help you out with a reg227 form.

So, gather that ID and title, and let's see what we can do together. Selling your car can be that simple.

How are junk cars recycled in Chula Vista?

When you decide to recycle your car, you're handing it over to a licensed buyer who understands the art of giving those old vehicles a fresh start. Here in Chula Vista, we pay close attention to the details-think parts and scrap metal-while following California's environmental guidelines so that every car is treated responsibly. This year, we’ve successfully recycled over 411 tons of metal, safely drained more than 4,435 gallons of fluids, and retrieved around 4,229 reusable parts from vehicles. It’s a win-win, reducing waste and ensuring those parts can keep on giving.

Our customers love us!

The team was efficient and straightforward during my car sale. Although the offer for my 2013 Chevy Impala was lower than I hoped, their friendliness and timely pickup made the process smooth and easy. Overall, I appreciated the convenience of working with them.
