Can You Sell a Junk Car Without a Title in California?
📝 Do You Legally Need a Title to Sell a Junk Car in California?
Technically, yes — California DMV prefers sellers to have a title.
But if you’re not selling for full value, and you’re disposing of a non-working vehicle (like junk or scrap), there are legal workarounds.
🚗 What If You Don’t Have the Title?
At Valley Cat Towing, we help you:
Verify ownership (via registration or ID)
Complete a bill of sale or release of liability
In some cases, file a duplicate title (Form REG 227)
We’ve done this hundreds of times for Valley residents. We walk you through it step by step.
✅ What You Can Do Without a Title:
Schedule free junk car removal
Transfer non-operational vehicles for scrap
Avoid fines for abandoned or unregistered vehicles
📍 We serve the entire San Fernando Valley and can often remove your junk car same day.
