Austin Junk Car Buyers

Well I’ll be! I didn’t know junk car places take motorcycles as well! My ex husband left his old motorcycle in my garage. It had been there for years. Now that we have two cars again, I need the space in my garage. He told me to sell it… AND I SURE DID! I searched for someone that takes motorcycles and Austin Junk Car Buyers came up! I called them, they were there in a matter of hours with my check! Great service!

A friend who had previously sold a not running junk car for $ 500 to Austin Junk Car Buyers, suggested I call them to get rid of my 90’s Chevy cargo van when I told him the other offer I had was only $ 280.
When I called I was told they would give me $ 340 (which beat the other offer I had and who was going to pick up the van the same day) and so made plans to meet them to pick it up and I called off the other company canceling their pick up. Over the phone they asked about the condition and I told them it was running with good tires and that the only thing I knew that was wrong was that the engine had a knock in it.
When they arrived, the guy asked if I knew of anything wrong with it, which I said the only thing I knew about was the knock in the engine. He told me because of that, the engine was bad and that they wouldn’t take it. He started it up anyway and looked at the engine while it was running. After he told me he couldn’t take it, I expressed the fact that I was stressed and just wanted it gone since I just called off the other company. He then offered me $ 100 to take it, which I didn’t agree to since I had the another company offering me more than that, so he just left.
I felt like they wasted my time and shouldn’t have told me a price over the phone knowing about the knock and then show up and try to offer me $ 100 when they knew I had a better offer from another company.
It was easy to call and talk to them and they showed up on time, but now I have to call back the company who originally offered me more and set up another time to have them come get it… which is a huge waste of time and frustrating.
I will admit I am not good at negotiations and didn’t have a guy to help me out with this, so in the end I feel like I got hustled?!? Maybe that is how this works with these kinds of cars, but I wish they would have told me that the knock in the engine was a deal breaker on the phone so I could have gone with the other company and be done with this already.
It looks like they have a lot of other great reviews, and I don’t usually ever write negative reviews, but this deal could have been avoided and has caused me enough frustration and time that I felt compelled to write to suggest getting a set price over the phone or clarifying if that is a done deal, or if they might look at the car and change their minds on the spot.

I called Austin Junk Car Buyers to come get an older model Chevy Blazer that I had stored in my garage. Everything was super easy over the phone and they came and picked up the car the next day. The amount of cash they gave me was reasonable too. I probably could have gotten more selling it myself, but not much more. The convenience of this service is worth the money I may have missed out on by selling it myself, but I didn’t have to take the time to post, update, and meet with potential buyers. So worth it to have the convenience and the space back.
