About us
One family. Since 1960.
66 years and three generations later, the name over the door has not changed and neither have most of the towns. That matters more than it sounds. Nobody here is working to a target set in another state, and the person who signs your check lives about twenty minutes away.

Tell us about your car.
Plate or VIN, or just the year, make and model if you do not have either to hand.
-
We look at it properly.
Bring it to any of our stores, or send photos from your driveway. Either way a person inspects it, not an algorithm.
-
You get paid.
Title transfer, lien release, bank payoff. All of it is ours to sort out. You leave with a check.
The Reineke difference.
An estimate is a starting position and it assumes an inspection that has not happened yet. An offer is a commitment. Ours is the number you sign.

What people say afterwards.
Reviews of the Reineke dealerships, left by customers across our stores on Google.
What people ask us most.
No. Not now, not ever. We buy vehicles to stock our pre-owned lot, and that is the only reason. Plenty of people sell us a car and drive away in something they bought somewhere else.
We contact your lender, get the payoff figure, settle the loan, and write you a check for whatever equity is left. If you owe more than the car is worth, we will walk you through the options plainly instead of pretending the problem is not there.
Tell us. A missing title is an ordinary problem with an ordinary fix, and we deal with it most weeks.
Live auction data, what the vehicle is actually selling for around here, and a physical inspection. Local demand moves the number more than most people expect.
As soon as possible. Once the offer is accepted and the paperwork is signed, we do not hold the payment back. Where there is still a loan on the vehicle we settle that with your lender first, and the balance comes to you.
No purchase necessary
Find out what yours is worth.
Start with the plate. We will come back to you with a real number, and what you do with it after that is entirely your call.
