Read the reviews here and decided to call Cash For Cars. Spoke with Tony and he was pleasant & even was already ready to help out w/a registration issue i had with another car! My car was 20 years old and the price Tony gave was generous! It took less than an hour after the initial call, Tony came by, we did the paper work, he handed me the cash and that's all it was to it. Real good people and extremely pleasant and easy to work with. I highly recommend calling Tony for this!

My 14 year old car finally gave in and I didn't want to put any more $ into her. I called cash for cars and spoke to Tony he happened to be in my area and said he could be at my house in approximately 10 minutes. He arrived with a mask on, looked at my car, made me an offer that I accepted. He was so patient and kind and respectful of social distancing. We sat in my front yard he explained the paperwork, which was minimal.

I signed and he left. Hours later a tow truck came and removed the car. It couldn't have been easier. I was so apprehensive. But thanks to the reviews about Tony I am pleased to say I made the right choice.

Tony was a pleasure to work with! I reached out to several car buyers in the area and some responded but never followed up or were just difficult to communicate with. Tony was lovely - professional, prompt, and punctual. I had some paperwork issues and he was knowledgeable and helpful with what I needed to do. The whole transaction took maybe 10 minutes? Highly recommend anyone in the SD area looking to sell a car for cash!

Tony at Cash for Cars San Diego was terrific and I left a satisfied customer. After deciding to sell my car and checking out the A+ Better Business Bureau San Diego rating, I found Cash for Cars San Diego (619) 464-1717. (Be sure not to get a different website/phone number for similarly named businesses). Within an hour from inquiry to sale, Tony handled my transaction with professionalism, courtesy, honesty, and fairness. I would happily do business with Tony again.

Nope. I have an ancient Dodge Caravan (still runs), but my mechanic informed me that its reached a point of diminishing returns in terms of keeping it on the road. So I called Cash For Cars, explained my situation, told them where I live (easily accessible) and was told I would receive a callback in an hour or so, but I never got the call. Never, ever use any vendor who promises a call back and then doesn't. Also, if you peruse the other yelp reviews you'll find several other folks that experienced the same thing.
