Frequently Asked Questions

We show up, complete about five minutes of paperwork, give you money and take the car away. Yes, that really is the whole process. Yes, it really is that simple.

We buy all complete vehicles. The vehicle must have an engine and transmission.

We give cash on the spot for cars, trucks, commercial vehicles and vans that are running or not.

Any condition will do.

We don’t buy scrap cars; we buy cars that have value beyond scrap metal. We also do not purchase vehicles with liens or vehicles that have pawned titles.

Tecnologia creates and maintains powerful, quiet, and secure IT systems by actively engaging and advising our clients in regularly scheduled Strategic Business Reviews with a vCIO.

Most Tecnologia locations limit new client onboardings to two per month. This approach allows us to institute comprehensive, data-driven quality controls – on the front end – which create increasing operating leverage for our clients throughout the lifetime of the relationship.

We know sometimes people buy new batteries, radios and speakers for their car so we allow those items to be removed if you can do it yourself before we arrive to pickup the vehicle. (Sorry, we don’t remove parts.) The more parts you take off, the less we can pay. If you are missing major parts of your car like an engine, transmission or wheels and tires, we won’t buy the car at all.

This alignment allows clients to enjoy business optimizing technology that doesn’t require constant, reactive, emergency intervention – so they have more time to focus on growing their business.

We give users direct access to support, which eliminates bottlenecks and allows us to collect data and insights to identify training gaps and recommend system improvements.

Our Service Level Agreement prioritizes client matters and response times by P1, P2, P3, and P4. A significant server or cloud application outage is a P1.

Assisting with a password reset is a P4. Good news: we can set you up with a self-serve password solution, so you don’t have to open a ticket.

The outcome is similar to the concept of compound interest. When you invest in the process over time, both quality of service and responsiveness accrue. Failure to invest (or starting late) makes it impossible to catch up.

Of course! We come to the location of where your car is whether it’s your home, a mechanic shop, your job, a shopping mall, the side of the highway or a towing yard. In the case of the towing yard, we have to put part of the purchase price towards the towing and storage fees and you get the rest.

We do not buy cars without titles but you may be able to sell it to another junk car company. By law auto recyclers can only buy a vehicle older than 11 years without a title.

You have to get your first “original” title after a car purchase from your county tag office.

First make sure you have or know where your vehicle’s ownership documents are. After you have your documents in order give us a call, text or email with the description of your vehicle. A description is the year, model, mileage and what’s wrong with the car, if anything.

After you give us the description the next step is the negotiations. Don’t be shy–it wouldn’t hurt to let us know how much you want for the car. I’m sure we can make a deal. After that, we set up an appointment to pick up the car. Our schedule is pretty flexible, and we even buy on weekends and holidays.

And, of course, you receive CASH IN HAND.

We do as we advertise–We definitely pay cash for junk cars and trucks. As a matter of fact, if anybody tells you they are paying by check, just hang up right away. You shouldn’t let someone get away with your car and title while you’re stuck with a piece of paper that may or may not be useful.

No, our junk process is free. We take care of towing the car away and give you cash at that time. There is no cost to you at all. We get the car. You get the cash.

We’re based in Atlanta, and we pick up vehicles in the metro Atlanta area. We cover everything within a 30 mile radius of downtown Atlanta. This includes pretty much every city around 285.

Before junking your car, it’s a good idea to find out exactly what’s wrong with it, so you can get an accurate quote. You can have a mechanic shop run a diagnostic on it, which usually costs around $90 plus a towing fee if it’s not running. If you don’t want to spend that kind of money on a junk car, you might want to try asking a friend who knows something about cars or just Google it. If you need more help, just call a junk car company. If the company is experienced enough and you can accurately communicate your car’s symptoms, they can tell you what’s wrong with your car over the phone.

Junking your car is a lot easier than selling it. When you’re trying to sell your car to an ordinary buyer, the potential customer most likely has a few choices of cars in mind and is only going to buy one. With a junk car company, we want to buy every car that’s offered to us. It’s just a matter of price. Junk car companies may also be the only ones who will buy your non-running car or truck.

Make sure your title is signed in the right place. On the back of a Georgia title, there is a place where the seller signs and a place where the buyer signs. If the buyer line is already signed, then you cannot use that title to buy the car. What you would need to do in that situation is let the person who signed on the buyer side go and get a new title in their name. Most of the time, they are not going to want to do that because they would have to pay the taxes in order to get a new title in their name and that could cost around $150 or more depending on the value of the vehicle. In that case the person who’s name is printed on the front of the title (if you can find them) can either sign an affidavit of correction and get it notarized so that you can replace the other person as the buyer. On the other hand, the seller can just go down to the State Tax Commissioners office and pay an $18 fee to get a new title so you can sign on the buyer side instead of the previous buyer. I always prefer the latter option.

If a car has never been in a serious accident, never had the odometer rolled back and was never bought back by the manufacturer because of a manufacturer’s defect, it’s said to have a clean title. That title is free of any title branding that stipulates a special status for the vehicle and warns potential buyers of a possible problem or issue with the car. A clean title is also a title that is easily transferable from one party to the next which means:

1. The title is free of liens.
2. The title is free of mistakes on the signature and address lines.
3. The title is not branded as “salvage.” A salvage vehicle is a vehicle that has been in an accident and said accident is deemed a total loss by the insurance company because it doesn’t make economical sense to have it repaired.
4. The title is not branded as “rebuilt.” Rebuilt means that after the vehicle was marked as salvage, the vehicle was repaired in accordance with your state’s law and is safe to be put back on the road.

A salvage title is a title that identifies vehicles that have sustained major damages or have been deemed a total loss. Salvaged vehicles can be rebuilt and inspected to be re-registered.

If your car or truck is in an accident and the cost of repairing the vehicle is a deemed too high compared to the value of the vehicle, your car insurance company will decide not to pay to have it repaired and declare it a total loss.

Your insurance company will then take possession of the car or truck. In some cases, the non-running vehicle gets sold to a repair facility and the vehicle is fixed or rebuilt. The new title that gets issued on the vehicle is called a salvage title. It has the words salvage located in a prominent position on the front of the title
