FAQs

How long does the entire selling process take?

The process can take less than 24 hours.

Once you submit your enquiry with details and images, we are swift:

  • We will respond to your submission quickly.

  • We will arrange to inspect the car.

  • We will make you a transparent, straight-away offer. We aim to make the entire transaction as fast and efficient as possible for you.

Does my car need to have a current WOF (Warrant of Fitness) or Registration?

No, your car does not need to be currently registered or have a valid WOF for us to buy it.

We understand that lapsed documentation is often part of the reason a car is hard to sell. We conduct a full inspection before every sale and take the car's condition, including its WOF and registration status, into consideration when formulating our fair cash offer.

How soon will I be paid for my car?

You will be paid immediately.

Full payment is confirmed and transferred to you at the time of collection. We ensure payment is secure and processed immediately so you can have peace of mind.

My car was recently in an accident or has damage. Can I still sell it to you?

Yes, please talk to us!

Accident-damaged vehicles can be extremely difficult to sell privately. Tell us the details of the damage, and we may still be able to buy it off you, offering a hassle-free solution to a stressful situation.

Are there any hidden terms or conditions I need to worry about?

Absolutely not. We pride ourselves on being fully transparent.

The price we agree upon is the price you receive. Once the sale is complete, you will be paid in full, and Auto Shift handles all the remaining paperwork and logistics. There are no surprise fees or deductions.
