Free same-day towing across Santa Barbara

Once you accept your offer we come to you anywhere in Santa Barbara, often the same day, and there's never a towing charge. The number we quote is the number you're paid.

Santa Barbara's beauty is hard on cars: constant coastal salt air off the Pacific rusts undercarriages and seizes brake components, and the tight streets from the Mesa to the Riviera make an unwanted vehicle a parking headache. When yours has reached the end, we buy cars in any condition across Santa Barbara and along the 101, and towing is on us.

Running or not, sun-faded, or salt-worn after years by the coast — it doesn't matter. Give us the year, make, model, and condition and you'll get a fair, no-pressure cash offer, paid when we pick it up, whether you're downtown, in Goleta, or up toward Montecito. For cash for cars in Santa Barbara, we keep it simple.
