Peddle

Question 1

Can I junk my car in New York with Peddle?

Accepted Answer

If you’re looking to junk your car in New York, Peddle makes it straightforward — get an offer in minutes, schedule a free pickup anywhere in the state, and get a check in hand the same day your car is picked up. No towing fees, no hidden costs.

Question 2

How does Peddle determine the value of my junk car in New York?

Accepted Answer

We look at your car’s year, make, model, mileage, and condition. The more accurate you are about what’s wrong with it, the more likely your offer holds at pickup. It takes a few minutes to get your offer—no sign-up required.

Question 3

My car doesn't run. Can you still pick it up?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. That’s one of the most common reasons people come to us. Our pickup partner brings the right equipment to move a non-running vehicle. Just let us know the situation when you schedule pickup so we can come prepared.

Question 4

What documents do I need to sell a junk car in New York?

Accepted Answer

You’ll need your New York State Certificate of Title, signed over to the buyer. For vehicles under 10 years old, the odometer disclosure section on the title must be completed. If your title is lost, apply for a duplicate through the NY DMV (form MV-902) before we can complete the sale. Visit our help center for more information.

Question 5

Do I need to remove my license plates before selling in New York?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In New York, plates belong to the owner, not the car. Remove them before or at the time of pickup. You can transfer them to your next vehicle or surrender them at a DMV office. Visit our help center for more information.

Question 6

Do I need to notify the NY DMV after selling my junk car?

Accepted Answer

Yes. File a Notice of Sale (form MV-78B) with the NY DMV after the sale. It removes your name from the vehicle’s record and protects you from any liability after pickup.

Question 7

Is junk car pickup really free in New York?

Accepted Answer

Yes, always. We never charge for pickup, anywhere in New York, regardless of the car’s condition. The offer you accept is what you get—no fees taken out at the end.

Question 8

Can the offer amount change? Can I change my mind?

Accepted Answer

Your offer is valid for seven days. If the car’s condition matches what you described, the price holds. If there are differences found at pickup, we’ll talk through it. And if you change your mind before then—no problem, no fees.

Question 9

When will my car be picked up? Do I need to be there?

Accepted Answer

Once you accept your offer, you’ll schedule a pickup time that works for you. Yes, you or someone you authorize needs to be present at pickup to hand over the title, receive the check, and sign off. Our pickup partner will do a quick condition check and you’ll be done.

Question 10

When do I get paid and how?

Accepted Answer

You get a check handed to you at the time of pickup—on the spot, right when your car is picked up. We don’t mail it later, we don’t do wire transfers. Check in hand, same day as pickup.

Question 11

Do you pick up junk cars all over New York?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, Buffalo, Albany, Rochester, Syracuse, and everywhere in between. If it’s in New York and it’s yours, we’ll come get it.

Question 12

What happens to my junk car after pickup?

Accepted Answer

Depends on what it’s got left. Cars that can be repaired get resold. Cars that can’t get parted out or crushed for scrap. Either way, your car gets the most useful second life available to it—and it’s off your property.
