  4. Cash before tow. Cash, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App — in your hand before we hook up. Free tow. Full paperwork handled.

Cars we buy — every condition, every story

  • Junk & salvage cars. Won't start, won't shift, hit by a truck, hit by a tree, flooded, frozen.
  • Cars without title. Lost it. Never got it. Inherited it. We handle the paperwork at the BMV.
  • Insurance writeoffs. Totaled, stolen-recovered, hail-damaged — the insurance check + our offer = more than you thought.
  • Running cars you just want gone. Old daily, sitting six years, second car you never drive, kid's first car after the kid moved out.
  • Fleet, dealer, and donation overflow. Lot cleanouts and volume welcome — call (216) 355-6164 for an account.

How much will you pay for my car?

Three numbers go into every quote: scrap weight at this week's steel price, parts demand for your specific year/make/model, and title & condition. We tell you the math out loud. Most quotes land between $200 and $1,800 — running cars and clean-title pickups land higher, deep-junk land lower. Real numbers, fair, every time.

Why Cleveland sellers pick RDB's over CarMax, trade-in, or Craigslist

  • vs. CarMax / dealer trade-in: They pass on rough cars. We pay a fair number specifically because we strip and recycle. No appraisal appointment, no "we'll have to lower it."
  • vs. Craigslist: No tire-kickers, no scammers, no "is it still available" texts at 2am. One call, cash before the tow, gone.
  • vs. donating: Most charity programs net you less than $200 and a tax form. We hand you real cash today.
  • vs. parting it out: Hundreds of hours, eBay fees, garage piled with car parts. Skip it — we pay you for what you have, today.

Frequently asked questions

Who buys cars for cash near me in Cleveland?

RDB's Towing & Auto. We've been buying Cleveland cars for cash before the tow since 1990 — running or not, title or no title, any make and model. Call (216) 355-6164 and the shop picks up.

How much will you pay for my car?

A real number, calculated three ways: scrap weight at this week's steel price, parts demand for your year/make/model, and title status. We tell you the math on the phone. The quote you hear is the cash we hand you.

How fast can you pay me for my car?

Same day, in most cases. Call before 4 p.m. and the truck rolls the same afternoon. Cash, Zelle, Venmo, or Cash App — before we hook up. Phone quote in 60 seconds: (216) 355-6164.

Will you buy a car that won't run?

Yes — that's the bulk of what we do. Won't start, won't shift, won't move at all. Blown engine, blown transmission, smashed body, flood damage, frozen solid — we tow it and pay you.

Can I sell my car without a title?

In most Ohio cases, yes. If the car is in your name on the BMV record and you have ID, we can process a duplicate or a junk certificate the same day, at no charge.

Is this better than CarMax or trading in?

For junk and rough cars, almost always. Dealers and CarMax pass on cars they can't easily resell; we pay a fair number specifically because we strip and recycle. For clean, drivable cars we'll quote anyway — and we beat trade-in offers more often than not.

Do you charge for the tow?

Never. Free same-day tow across Cleveland and Northeast Ohio — driveway, garage, street, body shop, impound lot, apartment complex.

Is it safe to sell my car this way?

Yes. We're a licensed Ohio motor-vehicle dismantler, family-owned in Parma since 1990. Real plates on real trucks. We sign the title, hand you a junk certificate, and give you cash before we tow. No mailed checks, no holdbacks.
