Yes, and it’s one of the most common reasons people call us. Texas dropped the annual safety inspection for non-commercial vehicles at the start of 2025, but El Paso County is one of the counties where a passing emissions test is still required before you can renew your registration. If the repair bill is more than the car is worth, get a quote instead.

Yes – if you’re in Sunland Park, Santa Teresa, Chaparral, or anywhere else just across the state line, we can still buy your car. The paperwork just follows New Mexico’s rules rather than Texas’s, since that’s where the vehicle is legally titled. Let us know that your title is from New Mexico when you request your quote, and we’ll walk you through exactly what’s needed. Check out our New Mexico coverage guide for the state-specific details on titles and paperwork.

Junking a vehicle in El Paso, Texas, requires authorization from all owners. If a Rights of Survivorship Ownership Agreement applies, both you and your co-owner must approve. Examine your title first and call our experts for help if needed.

Junking your car means it’s bought as scrap, usually at a cheap rate, but it’s a quick process. On the other hand, salvaging involves selling usable parts for a potentially higher payout. If your car is used but has valuable parts, salvaging might be the way to go. At Wheels Away, we help you navigate these options. We connect you with specialist markets that buy used cars for repairs and spares. This means you can get the best value for your vehicle without the stress of negotiating or towing. Get in touch with us today to turn that old car into cash in your pocket!

Your car will be collected by our certified professionals who specialize in spares and repairs. We ensure safe and efficient removal, even from tight spaces. Have the title signed over with the odometer reading filled in from the car, and once you accept our offer, we arrange collection at your convenience. You get paid on collection, making the process seamless and straightforward. Sit back, relax, and let us take care of everything while you earn cash for your old car.

Yes – we regularly buy cars straight out of impound and tow yards. You’ll need to settle any outstanding storage fees with the yard directly before we can collect it, since these charges are owed to the yard, not to us. Once that’s sorted, just give us the yard’s address and any access details (like hours or ID requirements), and we’ll arrange collection directly with them – no need for you to be there in person.

Not at all! Even if your vehicle can’t be driven, we can still find a buyer who values its parts or is willing to repair it. You don’t have to settle for scrap metal prices – get paid what your car is really worth. Let us handle the paperwork and towing, making selling your car for repairs a simple process. Parts like the catalytic converter, engine and transmission are what push an offer up, so tell us if any are missing and we’ll factor it in.

We can still buy your car if the catalytic converter has been stolen or swapped for an aftermarket part. Factory converters contain valuable metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which is why they’re a common target for theft, especially here in El Paso. Since these metals make up a large chunk of a vehicle’s scrap value, a missing or aftermarket converter will usually lower your offer compared to a car with the original part intact. Tell us when you request your quote, and we’ll factor it into a fair price based on your car’s actual condition.

Payment for your vehicle is typically made upon collection, through electronic transfer. If you’d rather have cash or a check, please notify us during confirmation. Rest assured, we’ll strive to arrange your payment promptly after collection.

Yes. We know a move date doesn’t wait, so we’ll help get your car picked up before you ship out. Get your quote as soon as you have a moving date, as scheduling ahead gives us the best shot at matching your timeline. (We can’t always guarantee same-day pickup, but we’ll always aim for the fastest slot available!) Have your title, a valid ID, and your vehicle’s basic details ready when you request your quote – the less back-and-forth needed, the faster we can lock in a pickup time that works before you leave.
