The whole process was very easy. I answered a few quick questions, received a quote for my car, and was sent detailed instructions on how to transfer my title and prepare my car. I then received a call from their partner to set a pick-up date. They came on time, gave me a check in the amount promised, and towed my car away. This couldn't have been easier and I'm so grateful for Junk Car Medics.
