Family-Owned Since 2004
1HR Cash for Cars is a family-owned vehicle-buying company headquartered in Chula Vista, California. Since 2004, we have been purchasing used, junk, damaged, and non-running vehicles for cash across Southern California and Arizona — providing free towing, same-day payment, and handling all DMV paperwork.
1HR Cash for Cars was founded in 2004 with a single mission: make selling a car as fast, simple, and fair as possible. Over 28 years, we have grown from a local San Diego operation into one of the most recognized cash-for-cars buyers across Southern California and Arizona.
We are not a middleman or an aggregator. We are the actual buyer. When you call us, you speak directly with our team. When we make an offer, we show up. When we show up, we pay — cash or check, on the spot.
Our customers include everyday vehicle owners, families clearing out a driveway, people who inherited an unwanted car, and sellers whose vehicle has stopped running. We buy vehicles that nobody else wants: no title, no keys, no engine, flood damage, frame damage, high mileage — we have seen it all.
We buy cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans of any make, model, or year — in any condition.
Most transactions are completed the same day you call.
We make an instant cash offer based on your vehicle's year, make, model, and condition. No obligation.
We come to you — home, work, anywhere. Free towing and pickup is included with every transaction.
When we arrive, we hand you cash or a check on the spot. The pickup typically takes under 30 minutes.
We handle the DMV notification and all transfer paperwork so you're never liable for the vehicle again.
