We Pay Cash for Junk Cars in Spring Valley

No, a smog certificate isn’t required when you’re selling a vehicle to a licensed junk car buyer like Family Car Buyers. Emissions inspections are only necessary for vehicles being registered to drive again in Clark County. Since we are purchasing the vehicle for salvage or parts, you can sell your junk car in Spring Valley without smog.

No separate “junk slip” is required. However, Nevada law mandates a proper title transfer when selling a vehicle. To sell or dispose of your car, you must sign over the Certificate of Title to the buyer, fill out the odometer section if the car is from 2011 or newer, and complete the Release of Liability (Form VP‑186) to notify the DMV of the sale. We take care of all this documentation so you’re not on the hook afterward.

Generally, no. Nevada law requires a valid title for the sale of any vehicle. If the title is lost, you’ll need to obtain a duplicate by submitting Form VP‑012 and paying a fee. The only exceptions are when selling directly to a DMV‑licensed dismantler or auction—but we can assist you in getting a salvage or bonded title to ensure a smooth, legal sale.

We buy virtually any vehicle—cars, trucks, vans, or SUVs—that have seen better days. Whether your Toyota Corolla is worn out, a Ford F‑250 is no longer running, or a luxury Mercedes needs major repairs, we can pay fair cash for junk cars in Spring Valley and arrange free pickup.

The process usually takes just a few days. We’ll provide a free, no-pressure quote right away. Once you accept, we can often schedule free junk car removal at a convenient time for you, complete the paperwork, and pay you immediately upon pickup.

Payment is prompt and flexible. You can choose check, bank transfer, or digital means like Venmo—whatever suits you best. We finalize payment on the spot once your car is hauled away and the documents are in order!

Absolutely. We offer free junk car removal throughout Spring Valley, from neighborhoods near Flamingo Ranch to commercial lots off Tropicana Avenue. No towing fees, no hassles—just schedule a time and we’ll handle everything.

Our offer is based on several factors: make, model, year, mileage, mechanical condition, and parts or scrap value in the Spring Valley market. We explain our calculations so you know exactly why we offer what we do.

Family Car Buyers delivers consistently high payouts because our quotes reflect current market values, not generic flat rates. We beat scrapyards and dealerships by offering fair, transparent pricing tailored to your vehicle’s real worth.

To legally junk a car in Nevada, you must first have the Nevada Certificate of Title. If it’s lost or damaged, apply for a duplicate using Form VP‑012, which requires notarization and payment to the DMV. For vehicles from 2011 or newer, complete the odometer disclosure section on the title before signing it over, as state law mandates this even for non-running cars.

Once you have the proper title and any required disclosures, accept our cash offer and sign the title over as the seller. Then, submit a Release of Liability (Form VP‑186) to the DMV within 30 days to absolve yourself of future responsibility. Be sure to remove your license plates—these can either be transferred to another vehicle you own or surrendered to the DMV to avoid future registration or fees.

If your car has been declared a total loss or meets salvage criteria, Nevada requires a Salvage Title (Form VP‑213) to be issued before ownership can legally change hands. Vehicles with salvage titles can only be sold to licensed entities unless they’re rebuilt, inspected, and issued a rebuilt title. Family Car Buyers handles all these technical steps, ensuring your sale is compliant, easy, and profitable!
