Can I sell a car that’s currently in a repair shop?

Yes. LightSpeedBid buys vehicles currently located at repair shops, including mechanic garages, dealerships, specialty shops, tire shops, muffler shops, and transmission repair facilities. Sellers often search for sell car stuck at mechanic, repair shop wants too much, car broken at shop, or junk car at garage, and LightSpeedBid is built to solve these situations quickly.

Cars end up at repair shops for many reasons:

  • Expensive engine or transmission repairs
  • Failed inspection
  • Electrical failure beyond repair
  • Timing chain or belt failure
  • Hybrid battery failure
  • Overheating or coolant leaks
  • Brake and suspension failure
  • Flood or fire damage discovered during repair
  • Owner deciding repair is not worth it

When a repair becomes too expensive or the shop recommends scrapping the car, LightSpeedBid provides an instant alternative. Buyers will pick up the vehicle directly from the shop, pay you instantly, and tow it at no cost.

If the vehicle is in the repair bay, the shop often rolls it out for the tow operator or allows access directly. If the car has missing parts because repairs were started and abandoned, LightSpeedBid still buys it. Mechanics frequently remove engines, transmissions, heads, radiators, wiring harnesses, or other components before the owner decides to sell.

If the shop is charging storage fees, some buyers may cover them and deduct from the offer. In other cases, the seller settles the fees before release. LightSpeedBid can work with both scenarios.

The car does not need to run. Tow operators can load non-running vehicles, cars with missing wheels, or cars that are fully dismantled. Repairs do not need to be reversed or completed. The vehicle is purchased exactly as it sits.

LightSpeedBid is the fastest, most efficient solution for anyone needing to sell a vehicle stuck at a repair shop, especially when the repair is too expensive or unfixable.
