Don't Drive It? Sell It!
From Shore Acres to Pinellas Point, we buy wrecked, totaled and non-running cars across St. Pete, with free pickup and payment at pickup.
No account, no fee, no obligation.
St. Petersburg is a peninsula on a peninsula, so nearly every car here lives a couple of miles from the coast and eventually shows it underneath. I-275 and US-19 carry the collisions, and US-19 in particular is one of the most crash-prone roads in the region.
We buy across Downtown St. Pete, Old Northeast, Shore Acres, Snell Isle, Kenwood, Crescent Lake, Childs Park and Pinellas Point, and we know the roads your adjuster is going to ask about: I-275, I-175, I-375, US-19 (34th Street), Gandy Boulevard and the Pinellas Bayway.
Collision damage from I-275 and US-19. Salt corrosion underneath. Totaled cars the owner kept, denied or underpaid claims, and cars that have not started in months.
None of that disqualifies a car. Collision damage, a salvage title, a denied claim, no keys, not running, sitting since last season. We buy all of it, and the pickup is free either way.
Florida handles two of these differently from most states, and the order matters.
Take it off before pickup, then transfer it to another vehicle or surrender it at the Pinellas County tax collector. Do not cancel the insurance first, because Florida can suspend your driver license if a plate is still active when the coverage lapses.
Most Florida titles have no paper document to sign. You either request a paper title or both parties complete the transfer in person at a tax collector office, and any lien has to be cleared first. Tell us when you call and we will tell you the quickest route.
Form HSMV 82050. It is what ends your liability for the vehicle, and skipping it is how a toll bill or a citation finds you months after the car is gone.
If your insurer totaled the car and you kept it, it is on a Florida salvage certificate of title, and we buy those constantly. The total loss rules explain what the brand means.
We are not attorneys and we are not FLHSMV. For anything unusual we will point you at the right form rather than guess. The full Florida title guide is here.
Pickup is free everywhere we buy. Driveways, apartment and condo garages, storage facilities, body shops and tow yards are all routine.
Car at a tow yard running up storage? Say so when you call. That usually changes how fast we should move.
Yes. Pickup is free anywhere in St. Petersburg and across Pinellas County, including Downtown St. Pete, Old Northeast, Shore Acres, Snell Isle and Kenwood. Driveways, apartment and condo lots, body shops, storage lots and tow yards are all routine, and the car does not need to run. Most pickups happen within 24 to 48 hours of accepting the offer.
In Florida the plate stays with you, not the car. Take it off before pickup, then either transfer it to another vehicle or surrender it at the Pinellas County tax collector's office. Do not cancel your insurance until the plate is surrendered or transferred, because Florida can suspend your driver license if a plate is still active when coverage lapses. Then file a Notice of Sale (form HSMV 82050) within 30 days.
Yes, routinely. A salvage certificate of title is a fact about the paperwork, not a reason for a low offer, and we buy owner-retained total losses in St. Petersburg every week. We also buy vehicles on a certificate of destruction. Bring the title, or tell us where it stands, and we will price the car on what it is: year, make, model, trim, mileage and where the damage sits.
Florida Wrecked Cars is a TrackWala site. These are Google reviews of TrackWala, the company that buys the vehicles and pays you, quoted exactly as they were written. We have not edited a word, and there is no rating markup on this page.
These guys were so easy to deal with. They made me an offer, I accepted the offer, and they called me with pick up time. Then they showed up right on time with my check for the agreed on amount. Thank you so much Trackwala.
I had got a quote from a different company that Court horse me into signing the title and the wrong spot before they give me a price once I signed it they give me a price that was real low so I moved on to a different company and when they came to pick the vehicle up since I signed it there it blocked them from selling the car to me so I reach out to this company and he was able to coach me in the right spot to get the title fixed and my girlfriend entered in the wrong mileage which made the car worth more and he quoted the higher price and still honored the higher price even though the mileage was incorrect he's a good man good company I recommend them highly
I have had the best experience with trackwala Sam has been so awesome in preparing everything that was needed he was right on with everything and quick to respond and everything was just a really great experience I would recommend them to anybody
Trackwala was easy to work with and overall I had a good experience with them. I would recommend using this company when selling your junker car.
Two commitments, and one question we want you to ask every buyer you call, including us.
Show us a written quote from a junkyard or scrap yard on the same vehicle and we will beat it. Not match it. Beat it.
That is arithmetic rather than a stunt. A yard prices your car by what it weighs and which parts it can pull. We price it by what it is: year, make, model, trim, mileage and where the damage sits. On anything late-model those two numbers are not close.
Your offer is issued in writing before a truck is dispatched. It does not change when the driver arrives, it is not revised once the car is on the deck, and nothing is discovered on pickup day that costs you a few hundred.
The only thing that can move the number is finding the vehicle is materially different from how you described it. Describe it honestly and the number you accepted is the number you are handed.
Ask every buyer this before you accept
“Will this price change when the driver gets here?”
Ask us. Then ask everyone else you call, and listen closely to the answer. A buyer who will not commit to the number on the phone has told you what happens next. The most common complaint we hear from sellers is not that an offer was low. It is that the offer was lowered in the driveway, after the car was already loaded and saying no had become difficult.
The one exception, said up front. On a very old, high-mileage shell, scrap weight may genuinely be close to what the vehicle is worth, and there may be little room to beat. If that is your car, we will tell you on the phone rather than waste your afternoon. We would rather lose the sale than talk you into a bad one.
Free pickup everywhere, and the offer is the same number wherever the car is parked.
