My son totaled my Lexus 450H SUV (not his fault). I contacted a couple of auto recycling companies that I found in San Diego who were not very helpful and quoted me prices for parts that were considerably below what I found online. Very fortunately, I came across CarBrain! They responded very quickly with an offer much higher than the other companies I contacted in San Diego. They contacted their contracted partner in San Diego immediately and arranged to send a flat bed (my vehicle was all wheel drive) to pick up my car that had languished in my driveway for far too long, expeditiously. Everyone that I spoke to at Car Brain or CoPart was extremely knowledgeable, responsive and very pleasant. I wholeheartedly and without reservation, recommend CarBrain to anyone that is in need of recycling their auto or other vehicle. read more

CarBrain - My poor Lexus!!! - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Miami Lakes, Florida

Prompt service and they make the whole process very fast and easy. Would definitely recommend

I was very skeptical at first because I've never done something like this before. The car was old and had seen better days. Gave them a try, went into a completely blind. After everything was arranged over the phone and via a couple of texts the date was set for pick up . They were so efficient so professional! When the tow truck arrived, it was a 10 minute process at best. I had a check in my hand and the car was loaded up and gone. Definitely recommend. read more

The experience of selling my truck was a easy process. I requested a higher price. I was told to send more pictures to make this happen. I do not feel that a higher price was ever going to be offered, as my submission was easy Brushed off what a no. I was not assured that the higher price was ever considered. I also think the co.pany shod give a referral fee. When asked this as my friend also wanted to use carrying, i was told no. The tow driver was exceptional with his time and service. read more

Very professional thru and thru. Thanks. Stuck for two years with my non-working car, found carbrain and my car is off in a giffy.

Christmas Eve 2024, my (at the time) 20 year old daughter got into a crash that bashed in the driver's side of her 2010 Prius. She was freaked out, but fine. We called the police, made a report, and managed to limp the car back to her apartment. She replaced a tire that was damaged during the crash, but it continued to run while waited for the police report so she could try to file a claim with the other driver's insurance. Things did not go as we had assumed they would, and by the time she got the report and was able to contact the insurance company they'd already decided it was not their fault, and closed the claim. That car was a work horse, and, despite the frame being bent, the driver's door bashed in so hard it wouldn't open, and a missing driver's side window, she continued to drive it until about a week and a half ago when she discovered that it was leaking oil so bad that even after she put 10 quarts in it, the dipstick was still dry. Uggggh. Now what? Ever feel like Facebook is stalking you, and knows what you need before you do? No? Huh. Me neither. JK. Sometimes I think they live inside my head, but that's a whole other discussion we won't get into here. Queue the Facebook ads for a company that buys cars that aren't in the best condition. Kind of like those "We Buy Ugly Houses" people, but for cars. Ironically, the ads I saw weren't for Car Brain, but for one of their competitors. I did a little research via Google and decided to let that company give me a quote on the car. I answered a few questions, and got a quote back that was about what I'd expected. Then, when I got the email from the company confirming my quote, I realized I'd made the classic Google mistake of clicking on an ad instead the website I had originally been looking for. The quote wasn't from the company whose ads I'd seen on Facebook, it was actually from Car Brain! To be clear, up until this point I'd never heard of Car Brain before. Though, tbh, I'd never heard of the other company either before seeing their (ad nauseam) Facebook ads. Annoyed with myself I went back to the good 'ol internet, found the company I'd been looking for in the first place, made sure I actually went to their website this time, answered most of the same questions I'd answered for Car Brain, and got a quote. Considering the limited value of the car and thus the relatively small amount of the quote from Car Brain, this quote was considerably less. Over $100 less than the offer from Car Brain. Thus began the process of actually selling the car. I had been missing some details when I completed the initial questionnaire, so I went back and filled those in. I corresponded with the rep from Car Brain that worked with me through the process pretty frequently, since I was kinda needy. We mostly communicated via text, which was nice because it was convenient, but his phone # was listed on all of his communications, and I absolutely felt as though I could have called him at any time. He was very responsive, and his directions were easy to follow. The process was delayed a couple of days, but that was on me because when I went to get the title out of our safe on Saturday morning, Murphy's Law struck, the batteries that controlled the lock died, and my husband and I were locked out of it for most of the day. I didn't send the pictures of the title until late Saturday afternoon, and since generally people don't work on weekends (totally fair), it was Monday before they looked at and were able to verify the info I'd provided. Anyhoo, once we were back on track on Monday things moved quickly. They set us up with a tow company who were also incredibly pleasant and easy to deal with, and I met their driver early Tuesday afternoon. He gave a me a check, and I bid adieu to the 2010 Toyota Prius that served first my dad, then my sister, and then my daughter over the course of 15 years. It turned out those additional details I filled in helped get us a better offer, because in the end we wound up selling it for $1,075, which, given it's age and condition, I felt was a pretty fair deal. Could I have gotten more through a private sale? Maybe. Did I want to hassle with that? Absolutely not. Overall I would say Car Brain was fast, responsive, easy to deal with, and fair. I hope I never again find myself in the position of having to try and sell a car that is not in good shape (and that's being generous), but if I do, I know who I'll reach out to first. read more

CarBrain - Using Carbrain - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Miami Lakes, Florida

Selling my old junker to CarBrain was a quick, easy, and efficient transaction. I got a very reasonable offer online in a few moments. I was contacted immediately by staff via e-mail and text. I arranged to have the car picked up the following morning. The tow driver came, on time, and within 15 minutes, I had cash in hand. Though the engine ran, my 2003 Volvo S60 was unsafe to drive and had been sitting in my apartment complex parking for several years. I had put off doing anything about it for too long, knowing I couldn't afford to get it in drivable condition, and thinking I'd have to pay someone to haul it away. I would have sold it to CarBrain years ago if I'd known how painless and profitable it would be. Thanks Josue et al. read more

CarBrain is a well-organized car buying service. Carlos and his team were cordial and easy to work with. The offer was fair and logistics were smooth from start to finish. I would highly recommend them. read more

My teenage son decided to drift his car into a guardrail a few months back totaling it. We did not make an insurance claim but needed the car gone. I spent a solid month checking out local companies, getting online scrap quotes, etc. I came across CarBrain and reached out to them. Elmer responded quickly and gave me a better quote than all the others so I went with CarBrain. From start to finish it was a quick and easy process and the car was towed out within 24 hours of arranging for it. Ya can't beat that! Elmer, the person who scheduled the tow, and the tow driver were all professional and friendly and helpful. Just signed over the title, gave them the keys, and they handed me a check. Perfect! I would recommend CarBrain to others. Thanks CarBrain! read more

great service fast and prompt. I would use them again definitely. They came Did all the paper work and towed car away.

CarBrain were very nice and professional. The downside was that it was a beautiful car and it was running great but at any moment it could have died and I just couldn't live with that anymore. I feel like I was losing a friend that I've had for over 20 years and I'm still miserable about the whole thing; that's why I can only give three stars. However, the company was very good and deserving of five stars but you asked me about my experience and it was terrible. My first time without a car in over 30 years and I feel so lost. read more

I was pretty skeptical the whole time and did a lot of research trying to figure out whether it was a scam or not, but carbrain is legit. I had an electrical problem with my car and would have costed more to fix then the overall value. Carbrain offered 2100$. Carbrain basically purchases for auctions. The set up pickup with the tow truck and Kevin G responded to all my questions professionally, even after his duties could have been finished. read more

Great company and fast $$$$. Would definitely use again. Best price and very professional.

LIARS & THEIVES is the nicest things I can say about this so-called company. Filled out the forms correctly, accepted a low offer of $425.00 for a 1995 Volvo 940, new tires, many new parts, only 223K miles, absolutely not rust, in great shape. The cowardly sent Alpha Towing over to pay for and pick up the car, who promptly offered me $225.00 for the car because the cat wasn't the original. Wouldn't pee on them if they were on fire. Horrible con job from a bunch of low life liars. read more

Everything went smoothly. Carlos Garcia is very professional! I don't hesitate to recommend CarBrain. read more

Fair pricing, did it very fast, the check cleared lol and they picked up my car that didn't work anymore! Will definitely do business with them again! read more

we didn't know what to do with our van that wasn't working and had high mileage. I found carbon online. they offered a good price, waited for us to find our documents, and responded promptly when we were ready! Overall was a great experience! read more

Relatively easy and they do negotiate prices. They are fast and ready. In all, very good experience.

I love the contactless process of selling my car. No face to face contact. Diego was awesome guiding me through the process. I took pictures of my vehicle, got a quote, scanned over my signed title and the next day my car was picked up by a tow truck driver who handed me my check. read more

This company was easy to work with the chemical. We picked up my car and gave me a check right there super easy process highly recommend.

So!! Service is above the and beyond any ordinary tow service, the driver was awesome, given where the vehicle was parked I know AAA would have deliberated come and gone at least 3 times until they'd complete the job!! Car Brain not only paid top dollar for my car but honestly service was great, they know what to do and do it well! Thank you Car Brain for being thorough with awesomeness! I recommend you to those looking to give up their vehicle read more

The website of CarBrain itself was great, was able to sell my car fairly quickly. And the company they worked with to pick up my car was decent, only issue was that my car got picked up 2 hours later than my appointment was, but luckily I wasn't busy with anything so I was able to wait. All in all it was quick and easy to sell my car thanks to this company. read more

the transaction was quick, accurate and satisfactory. Katie was excellent to work with if you are selling a vehicle I recommend exploring CarBrain as an option read more

Super duper easy. Fast response. The entire process was relative "brainless" meaning even my 3 yr old child could do it. Get an instant price offer. If you not happy with the offer, you name your price and almost haggle free, you get a better offer. I would recommend to anyone who needs CarBrain services read more

Olvin Mejia was super helpful and knowledgeable. Honestly, I was skeptical about the whole process but he made me feel better about it. He was willing to answer any questions that I had. He patiently explained it all to me. From beginning to end, there was always great communication with all parties involved. read more

CarBrain was easy to work with and offered me more than a competitor- peddle. I got 515 for a 99 Toyota Cam that had an Engine issue from them. I might have gotten more from a local newspaper advertising they buy cars but this was pretty efficient and some I called locally offered less so I gave up on that. My only problem was the local junk yard they worked with gave a large window for the pickup and the driver would call from his personal cell phone to confirm a half hour before me was to come. I get too many junk calls if I don't have the number in advance. Good thing I'm retired and usually home but it took a few days to successfully get that done and get my check. read more

On a recent Saturday, I brought our 2008 Honda CRV to our local mechanic to check on the power steering and a sound we've been hearing whenever we accelerate. After dropping off the vehicle, two hours later I got a call from my mechanic asking if I wanted to hear the good news or bad news. I said bad news and he proceeded to tell me that my transmission had seen its last days and that our vehicle was stuck on the side of the road. It was going to cost us at least $3000 to replace the transmission. After more than 311,000 miles, I had to decide what we were going to do with our CRV. I was stressed to the hilt, but thank God I found CarBrain. Not sure if CarBrain is a national company, but there is a San Diego branch. Sifting through Google with the search how to get rid of nonoperational vehicles, many companies pop up and it was kind of overwhelming. I had contemplated donating our vehicle, but I knew our vehicle still had value for its parts. I highly recommend that you check out companies that will give you an online estimate of how much they'll pay you for your non-op vehicle. I tried one company and they quoted me a respectable amount. CarBrain beat this company's quote by hundreds of dollars. The customer service provided by Raymundo and every single person I dealt with at CarBrain was professional and made me feel like a valued customer. CarBrain's online interface is user friendly. I quickly provided pertinent information and answered simple questions about our Honda CRV. After submitting everything within minutes, CarBrain came back with an offer to my liking. You'll need to call them to arrange for pickup, directions to provide them with your title, and then decide how you want to get paid. CarBrain does not do same day pickup, so they say between 24-48 hours. They will utilize a tow truck to pick up your vehicle where it's located. The transaction was quick and seamless. They mailed my check within two days. Our family really loved our Honda CRV and it really was good for us for 14 years and more than 311,000 miles. Its parts will be used to help fix other Honda vehicles. Similar to when body organs are donated to save humans, I really our CRV's parts will save Hondas. Thanks CarBrain for minimizing my stress and allowing us to make some money from our CRV. read more

Straightforward and easy. My car dies unexpectedly and the price to repair was more than the car is worth. So, reached out to carbrain. I plugged in my car information and they offered a more than fair buy-now price. One can also try got hugger bids if wanted. They came the next day with check in hand and took the car. Easy and friendly process! read more

CarBrain - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Miami Lakes, Florida

This process was too easy! On Wednesday, I used the CarBrain website to enter my car details and get a dollar value for my car. CarBrain's offer was at least $115 more than estimates I had gotten from other places. Within 2 hours, a CarBrain representative phoned me to set up an appointment. I scheduled that Saturday, although next-day appts were available. On Saturday morning, the tow truck driver called with an ETA of 20 minutes. After he arrived, I showed him my license and signed over my salvage title. He, then, handed me a check for the agreed-upon amount. Ten minutes later, the disabled car that had been sitting in my driveway for 3 years was gone! I highly recommend CarBrain. read more

Very interesting. My son's modified dodge challenger blew a piston ring. I was between repairing it for 10k or buying him a new car and selling it. Against the fence I tried Car Brain and we were going back and fourth with the $ #'s and settled on a reasonable #. So, I bought my son his new car, and got this car out of the garage within a quick 3 days. They gave me a check that cleared in 5 hours and it all just went extremely well and smooth. I will be missing big red though...Thanks Car brain!! read more
