If you've got a car sitting in your driveway that you don't want anymore, the hardest part is over — you've already decided to let it go. Joe's Cash For Cars makes everything after that as simple as it gets. You call, we make you an offer, you say yes, we show up and pay you on the spot. That's it.
We buy cars for cash all over Austin and the surrounding Mower County area — running or not, any make, any model, free towing, scheduled pickup.
A lot of people assume their old car isn't worth much — especially if it doesn't run, has body damage, or has been sitting for a while. But we buy cars in every kind of condition, and we almost always pay more than people expect. Give us a call at 619-762-2001 and find out exactly what your car is worth.
There's no shortage of people who claim they'll buy your car — but a lot of them will lowball you, ghost you after the inspection, or show up with a completely different number than what they quoted. We don't operate that way.
We service every part of Austin, including:
Three steps from your first call to getting paid. No runaround, no hidden fees.
Tell us your car's year, make, model, and condition. We give you a real offer in under two minutes — no callbacks, no pressure.
Accept the offer and pick a time that works for you — often the same day or next. We come right to you in Austin — home, work, wherever. You don't move an inch.
Our driver brings all the paperwork, handles the tow, and pays you before they leave. Under 30 minutes, start to finish.
Some car-buying services quote you high to get you interested, then the driver shows up and suddenly there's a problem with the catalytic converter or the transmission mounts and the offer drops by $300. We've heard this story from Austin customers dozens of times. Our quote is based on an honest assessment, and that's the number we show up with — period.
Once you accept your offer, we'll set up a pickup time that works for you — often the same day or next day, especially if you're anywhere in Austin or the surrounding Mower County area. We run routes here regularly, so scheduling is rarely an issue. Give us a call and we'll lock in a time.
Transferring a car in Minnesota involves more forms than most people expect — especially if the title isn't straightforward or there's an outstanding loan. Our drivers carry everything, know the process cold, and make sure it's all done correctly so you're not on the hook for anything down the road.
After we buy your vehicle in Austin, it's either resold, parted out, or recycled through licensed facilities that meet all Minnesota environmental regulations. We never abandon vehicles or dump them — every car we buy is handled responsibly.

Austin is a city in Mower County, Minnesota, and serves as the county seat. According to the 2020 census, the city had a population of 26,174. Named after Austin R. Nichols, the area's first European settler who built a log cabin in 1853, Austin originally developed along the Cedar River and now includes two artificial lakes, East Side Lake and Mill Pond. The city is part of the Rochester–Austin combined statistical area.
Austin's identity is closely tied to the meat processing industry. Hormel Foods Corporation, which George A. Hormel founded as a small butcher shop in 1891, is the city's largest employer and has grown into a Fortune 500 company. The city is widely known as "SPAM Town USA" because Hormel's corporate headquarters and the factory that produces most of North America's SPAM tinned meat are located there. The Spam Museum, which relocated to Main Street in 2016, attracts visitors interested in this iconic product.
Beyond meat processing, Austin is home to significant institutions serving broader communities. The Hormel Institute operates as a leading cancer research facility with support from the University of Minnesota and the Mayo Clinic. Educational opportunities expanded with the opening of Austin Junior College in 1940, which became part of the State College and University System in 1964 and is now known as Riverland Community College. The city continues to invest in its future through initiatives like Vision 2020, a grassroots community development movement chartered in 2011 to implement major initiatives in economic development, health and wellness, education, and tourism.
