Tell us about your car. The year, make, model, and what kind of shape it’s in.
Our car buyers will crunch the numbers and shoot you an offer that’ll make you smile. No pressure, just a fair price.
We’ll come to you, handle the paperwork, and hand you the cash. It’s fast, it's simple, and we'll even tow it away for free.
Let's be honest, selling a car is a hassle. You either set up ads on a website like Craigslist and meet strangers in the comfort of your own home (making it very uncomfortable) or you drive out to meet the stranger at a mutually decided location. You spend your valuable time with ZERO guarantee that they will buy your vehicle.
Maybe you visit a car dealer. As you explain the details of your vehicle to the car salesman, he finds every possible way to get the lowest price possible. Amidst the negotiation, he goes to see his manager. Upwards to thirty minutes later, the car salesman finally comes back with a counteroffer that is way below what you wanted...
Get your car appraised and watch as the friendly representatives from SellMax (a licensed car retailer) drives away with your newly sold vehicle. That's right. SellMax will write you a check, and more often than not —on the same day your car is appraised. All this done in the comfort of your own home.
Did you want to lay in bed all day under the warmth of your soft covers instead of selling your car? Now you can do both!
Do you live in Temecula? Now — in your own neighborhood, we buy cars allowing you to sell your car without the stress of shopping around. Still not convinced. Don't worry, I wouldn't be either. It's and companies really need to take it to the next level. Why should you sell your car to SellMax?
Here’s why:
Founded in 1990, SellMax is a company who understands one very important thing that the car industry has forgotten —premium customer service for every car seller is the number one priority.
Why have other industries adapted to this mantra but the car industry has remained stagnant? We don't know.
That's why our founders, Tom and Tony, have started a "cash for cars" company because they believe there is a better way. Why should someone toil away with hours with no guarantee that their efforts will prove fruitful? Why should you have to argue with a salesman over the price of your car? Why should you feel like an enemy instead of a friend?
By solving these issues, SellMax has expanded all over the United States becoming a national buying retailer for "all cars."
This service is now offered in Temecula, California. We can buy your car for a premium price. Are you wondering how? Let me explain.
With some basics, for example:
We will be able to give you a premium price for your vehicle. Is your car junk or damaged? Don't worry, you can still sell your car!
Remember, SellMax has a "buy all cars" policy. We can reach a great price for your damaged vehicle and take it off our hands. No more dealing with repair bills and wasted space!
Once our systems have received the information, our industry proven software will calculate the premium price for your vehicle. Afterwards, you can schedule an appointment, even on the same day! Doesn't matter if it's at home or at work —we'll be there!
Our representatives will meet you at the location agreed upon. Mountains of paperwork, too many hours spent, constantly questioned about the validity of your answers — not with SellMax! With a little a paperwork and a quick check of your vehicle, our experts will be ready to take the vehicle off of your hands! No negotiating. No questions. No strangers. Only straightforward and friendly people coming to make an exchange. Don't worry, there are no obligations. At any time before the transaction, you can change your mind. We know that selling a car is a large decision. We just want to help you do it right!
Arguably the best part! You get your money and you get it fast! Afterwards, no matter what condition your car is in, we will tow it away with absolutely NO HIDDEN FEES. That's right. We aren't here to make a little extra cash. Sell Max believes in premium customer service. Let us help you get the cash you want, for the vehicle you no longer need. Quick and easy!

I'm Sean Pour, co-founder of SellMax. Based on our recent data in Temecula, CA as of October, pricing is trending down. We are seeing softer offers as parts demand cools and inventory has built up across the region. Even with that backdrop, activity remains steady and sellers are still finding straightforward paths to move cars quickly.
The Honda Civic and Honda Accord are the most common cars we are buying right now. Citywide, the typical offer is about $609. Compact cars usually land between $431 and $619, while trucks and SUVs often range from $824 to $1,731, so it is common to see trucks clear the thousand mark when overall condition supports it.
Why people are selling is clear in the numbers. Engine problems lead at 40 percent, followed by failed inspection at 25 percent and transmission failure at 19 percent. Collision or body damage accounts for 9 percent, and missing catalytic converter issues make up 7 percent. Pickups happen fast. The median pickup time is 1 hours 31 minutes, and 92 percent of vehicles are picked up within 24 hours, which helps sellers move on without delay even while prices lean lower. You can count on us to keep an eye on changing prices.
To sell your car in California, make sure you have your government issued ID and the vehicle title handy. If the title is playing hide-and-seek and your car is paid off, do not worry too much. We can still help you out with the reg227 form, as long as it was titled in California.
It is pretty straightforward, really. Just gather your ID and title, and if needed, we will guide you through the rest. Selling your ride can be a breeze when you have the right paperwork in hand.
Recycling your car means giving it to a licensed buyer who knows how to breathe new life into old rides. In Temecula, we prioritize parts and scrap metal while making sure to stick to California's environmental guidelines. Every car gets the care it deserves. This year alone, we’ve recycled over 789 tons of metal, safely drained more than 3,183 gallons of fluids, and recovered around 3,921 usable parts from vehicles in Temecula. It’s all about minimizing waste and letting those parts shine again.
The team was prompt and friendly during my car sale. Although the offer for my 2013 Chevy Impala was lower than I hoped due to some issues, the pickup went smoothly and the entire process was hassle-free.
