What paperwork do I need to sell my car to Peddle?

Peddle can usually work with many types of titles, including clear titles, salvage titles, junk titles, and in some cases, vehicles with no title at all.

Because requirements vary by state and sometimes by buyer, it’s best to confirm what applies in your area. Some states also require titles to be signed or notarized before pickup. Do not fill in the “buyer” section on your title ahead of time, since errors could make the document invalid. Our pickup partner will walk you through the correct steps when they arrive. For details, see our state-by-state Title Guide. Please note, Peddle is not able to make offers on abandoned vehicles. For those, you will need to review local regulations or contact local authorities.

Preparing your car for winter.

2 min read

As they say in Game of Thrones: Winter is coming! And while you and your car won’t have to face charging knights, monsters and sword battles (we hope!) surviving those cold months can still be pretty brutal.

If you want to keep your car running smooth during winter, and drive safely too, you should think about some seasonal upgrades.

Let’s take a look at some top tips for winter prep.

mount winter tires

If you live somewhere that gets super icy during winter, this is the one of the most important upgrades you can do to improve your safety on the road. Winter tires are softer, with deeper tread, and are designed to optimize grip in cold conditions by maximizing the contact between the rubber and the road.

inspect all belts, hoses, and plugs

A drop in temperature can have an outsized impact on certain components in your engine. In freezing conditions, the rubber on the belts and hoses can degrade—check these regularly for cracks and bulges and replace them if you notice any deterioration.

Spark plug performance can also become an issue in low temperatures (this is related to the battery) so check these for defects too.

check your battery

Cold weather increases resistance in electric circuits and makes your battery less efficient as a result. If you’re having trouble starting your vehicle then it could be because the battery isn’t pushing enough energy to your spark plugs. This is the reason why you need to check your spark plugs as the better condition they are in the less energy they require to fire up.
