About Speedy's Cash For Cars
Speedy's Cash For Cars is a nationwide car-buying service that pays cash for vehicles in any condition — running, used, damaged, wrecked, or junk — with free towing and payment on the spot.
Our story
Speedy's Cash For Cars exists to make selling a car the easiest part of anyone's week. Most people who need to sell a junk, damaged, or unwanted vehicle get bounced between lowball buyers, no-show tow trucks, and offers that shrink at pickup. We built Speedy's to be the opposite: one honest quote, free towing, and cash in hand when we take the keys.
We buy cars in every condition, in cities and towns across the country, and we back our offers with real market data rather than guesswork. Every quote reflects what vehicles like yours are actually selling for right now — which is why our offers hold from the first phone call to the pickup.

He built the company around a simple standard — pay people fairly, quote them honestly, and never waste their time — and leads its data-driven approach to pricing, publishing Speedy's first-party offer data publicly so sellers can see exactly what cars like theirs are worth.
