First be aware that many of the top listings for junk car buyers will be “partners” with Peddle. One such is Cash Auto Salvage who will refer you to work with their “partner”, Peddle. After my experience with these vendors, I decided to look up reviews to see if this was a thing: low balling purchase prices and blaming it on the catalytic converter. Looking on Trust Pilot this morning, I see ALOT of reviews on Peddle that mention that the tow truck driver looked over their car, said it's not the original catalytic converter and then low balled them – from $100 - $500 from the original offer. Just go to Peddle’s page on Trust Pilot and search “converter” and you will see ELEVEN PAGES of reviews that mention their offers being lowered or cut in half due to this VERY SAME “ISSUE”, even on some of their 4 & 5 star reviews. It was our EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE. Dealing with Peddle’s referred pick up “partner” Green Towing ((832) 881-9313 2910 Holmes Rd Houston, TX 77051) was…interesting. First they were super pressuring to set a pick up time and date. Once we tried to finalize, they instantly broke all contact. We got 2 hang up calls from their number the day before pick up but no message was left. Return call attempts to confirm our day and time gave us a full mailbox. Texts to the number they had texted us from received no answer. It was only when we reached out to Peddle to let them know we hadn’t heard from the tow company that Green suddenly was all customer servicey in confirming the appointment. They also showed up at the time quoted. Our driver tried to get us to sell at $435 on a $930 quote as the “catalytic converter wasn’t the original one” and that “even OEM catalytic converters were only worth about $5 so the buy price had to be dramatically lowered”. When I told him in that case he can leave and we will accept the offer from a different vendor, he suddenly wanted to wait to call his boss to see what he said (so he “wouldn’t have to leave and then come back”). The owner also tried to low ball us while offering slightly more - $500 something then like $600ish as his max. They told me Peddle wasn’t the buyer, they were and that it was not up to Peddle what price they paid. I told them no deal until I finally got them to $700. Part of me was just ready to get the car gone (as we had already purchased a replacement vehicle, it was taking up our reserved parking space and we had a pressing appointment that day). Still, looking on Trust Pilot and seeing that this “oops, catalytic converter” is a common scenario with these "buyers"/tow truck drivers with Peddle, has given me pause. ELEVEN PAGES and counting is a LOT of reviews with Peddle partner drivers cutting the quote as much as by half and blaming it on the catalytic converter either being after market or missing – even if it isn’t. I can’t help but wonder if this a coincidence or an orchestrated, systemic practice within Peddle and amongst its “partners”. Give a good offer that far beats most of the competition, arrive, instantly “inspect” the vehicle, blame the catalytic converter for being after market or missing then lowball the offer. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a class action in their future. At the very least, it warrants a filing with my state’s, the tow truck driver’s, Peddle’s and any other involved business’s State Attorney General’s office, a BBB filing and reviews on Rip Off Report, TrustPilot, Yelp, etc. in order to warn others and increase documentation of this practice for future litigation/regulatory actions related to it. It has left a very bad taste in my mouth. I hope the $230 was worth it to them. Note: I've sold to other vendors in the past and had no issues with getting the exact price quoted - no fuss, haggling or issues. Therefore, I would not use this vendor in the future or recommend. The only reason they get 2 stars is that they showed and towed on a flat bed as needed and paid cash.

Super easy to do on my phone. Took less than 10 minutes. Even better, Peddle was by far the most money offered so it was a no brainer. I was given a 4hr window and the driver showed up early in that window. The whole process was easy.

Getting the offer and accepting it was easy and quick. The pick up of the car was great as well. The tow truck driver was super fast and had the check ready to go. The only bit of advice I would give to the company is that my pick up appointment was changed without my consent and I had taken time off to get this pick up done. So I had to take even more time off when they changed the date. So if you offer a pick up appointment and it's accepted it would be great to keep that. Everything else was great!

SUPER easy process. PAID EXACTLY what was promised! LOVE this!

They came and went over the process and cut the check for the amount they valued the car. We forgot something in the car that was important and they were very communicative about when the driver will pick it up, we left a big for the driver to put the items in and they didn’t forget about it. It was a 10/10 experience! Thank you so much for yalls time and helping us out when we were forgetful!

Great transaction, fast and easy. Pickup company was great, flatbed operator was top notch!

Online offer of $455. Then the person of Indian descent spoke with me over the phone and the offer was $210 when none of the particulars had changed. They lost my business

Did the online quote for my vehicle. When I went to complete and accept the offer it kept giving me an error So it forces you to call. When you call you get some indian guy name Pablo who through it again and gave us a quote way lower than the online quote! and tried saying because it wasn't the premium level, um but that's not whats asked online! Shady business DO NOT RECOMMEND doing business with them. Stick to your local junk removal

had a car stolen and bought by this company without the title and without the (verified consent) of the owner to the car. they don’t have the proper requirements for the sellers to verify the owner to the car matches and also knows about the consent. i reported it to police to get my car back.

Sold my car for way more than I thought I would. quick process and the tow man came on time with my exact quote amount in hand. Definitely using again.

They gave me a great price on my vehicle. The entire process was quick. The technician who retrieved my truck was very friendly and maintained contact with me prior to pick-up. Absolutely hassle-free!

We used Car Auto Salvage to have our mini van picked up. The process was very simple and easy to follow. We had an appointment set up within minutes to get the van picked up by a local salvage company in the next couple days.

I was just looking around and they Gave the best offer. Very surprised of the amount 😁

Easy. Easiest ever!

I was able to set everything up online (live conversation is available) which was best for my schedule. Time frames were convenient. Communication from Sam (driver) was great. Information to get my car ready was relevant and helpful.

Arrangements for the pickup of my vehicle were done easily online, scheduled for the next day and completed well within the timeframe setup. Oh, and the payoff was made on-the-spot!

Worked through their partner Peddle to get an instant offer for the vehicle. Had the vehicle towed with a check in hand in less that 24 hours. Easy, stress-free experience and the tow driver was also very friendly when picking up the car. I would absolutely recommend this to others based on my experience.

Quick and easy service on my momma

Easy peasy no hassle. Would definitely recommend!!!

In Houston, TX, the Green Towing Company handled the sale. They offered $500.00 sight unseen for a great running 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis. The wrecker driver came and took pics of the under carriage then called the office who tried to to talk me into $300.00 due to a non-factory catalytic converter. I called them out on bull, that the car had never failed an inspection, that it was the original. I closed the door on the driver who told me to wait, and offered 400. I said 475, and they bought it. What a scam.
