How It Works

Here’s how you get your money, and we get your car as quickly as possible.

  1. Bring your vehicle to us with or without an appointment and meet with one of our staff members who can then help you through the process.

  2. Undergo appraisal. Our experts examine your vehicle while you watch or browse through our inventory of new and used models. Feel free to ask our appraisers questions. We want you to thoroughly understand how we determine the value of your car.

  3. Receive your offer and decide whether to accept it or reject it. You can also think about it for around seven days, although ask for the specific time period from our expert. When you give us the go-ahead, we’ll complete the buy and give you a check or should you choose, you can use it as a trade-in value that you can apply to your next purchase from us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Selling Your Vehicle to Galpin Motors

A: Galpin Motors is a family-owned business serving the Los Angeles community since 1946. We’re not a call center or a national chain — we’re your neighbors. With nearly 80 years of trusted service, we’ve built our reputation on transparency, integrity, and treating customers like family.
A: Not at all. We’ll buy your vehicle outright — no purchase necessary. Whether upgrading, simplifying, or just selling, there’s no pressure and no obligation.
A: As the #1 volume dealer for many brands, Galpin knows what your vehicle is truly worth. Our experienced appraisers use real-time market data, historical trends, and our deep product knowledge to ensure you get a competitive, accurate offer.
A: Absolutely. You can start with a free, no-hassle online appraisal in minutes. If you prefer to visit us, you can schedule an in-person appraisal at any Galpin location.
A: In most cases, just 15–30 minutes. We’ll inspect your vehicle, analyze current market conditions, and provide a straightforward, honest offer — often the same day. More exotic or rare vehicles may take longer to complete the inspection and give you a firm offer on the vehicle.
A: That’s not a problem. Galpin can work directly with your lender to pay off your remaining loan. If your vehicle is worth more than what you owe, we’ll pay you the difference.
A: We buy almost everything — cars, trucks, SUVs, and more. Whether it’s a newer model, an older, more niche vehicle, or even something high-end and rare, our team is ready to evaluate and make an offer.
A: Please bring your vehicle, a valid ID, the title or loan payoff info, and any keys/remotes. If you’re not sure what you need, just give us a call — we’re happy to help.
A: There’s no catch and no hidden fees. Our appraisals are 100% free, with no obligation. If you accept our offer, we’ll handle the paperwork and issue payment on the spot.
A: Because we sell more cars than just about anyone — and we need inventory. We prefer to buy from local drivers because we trust the vehicles and love supporting our community. When you sell to Galpin, you’re keeping that value right here in L.A.
