Sell or trade your car in Clovis, CA
Sell your car for cash or trade it in at RALS Auto Sales. We buy used cars, trucks and SUVs across Fresno, Clovis and the Central Valley — clean or salvage title — and give you a fair, no-obligation offer fast. Tell us about your vehicle below and we'll get back to you with an offer.
Fair cash offer
We buy used cars, trucks and SUVs outright for cash — or put the value toward a car on our lot as a trade-in.
Clean, salvage or not running
We buy clean and salvage-title vehicles alike, and cars that do not run at all — including ones most Fresno & Clovis dealers turn away.
Quick, no-obligation offer
Send us your car's details and we get back to you fast with an offer. No purchase required, no pressure.
Simple paperwork
Bring your title, registration and ID. We handle the rest and pay you on the spot once the deal is done.
Selling something that will not start? We still buy cars that do not run, and putting them right afterward is routine work for our own repair shop.

Selling FAQ
- How do I sell my car in Clovis or Fresno?
- Fill out the form on this page with your vehicle's year, make, model, mileage and condition. We review it and get back to you with a fair cash offer or trade-in value — no obligation. If you accept, bring the car and paperwork to our Clovis lot and we pay you on the spot.
- Do you buy salvage-title cars?
- Yes. We buy both clean and salvage-title used cars, trucks and SUVs in the Clovis & Fresno area — including vehicles many other dealers will not take.
- What paperwork do I need to sell or trade my car?
- Bring your vehicle title, current registration and a valid photo ID. If you still owe on the car, bring your lien holder information as well. We handle the rest of the transfer.
- What if the car will not drive to your lot?
- That is normal, not a problem. We buy non-running cars, cars with engine or transmission trouble, and cars other buyers turn away — we run a full repair shop, so a car that needs work is still worth something to us. If it will not move under its own power, our sister company Shako Towing can bring it in.
- Why not use one of those online instant-offer sites?
- Because the number on the screen is not usually the number you get. Those quotes are generated sight-unseen and get revised down when the truck arrives, and many of those sites are not buyers at all — they sell your details on to whoever pays for them. We look at the car ourselves, we pay what we quote, and your phone number stays with us.
- Cash sale or trade-in — which is better for me?
- If you are buying your next car from us, a trade-in is usually simpler: the value comes straight off the price and there is one set of paperwork. If you are not buying from us, take the cash. We will tell you which is better for you rather than which is better for us.
Cash sale or trade-in?
Two different deals, and which one suits you depends on whether you are buying your next car from us. A trade-in puts the value of your old car straight against the price of the new one, with one set of paperwork and one visit. A cash sale is cleaner if you are not buying from us at all — we buy the car outright and you walk away paid.
We will tell you which of the two puts you ahead. If that is the cash sale, we will say so, even when the trade would suit us better.
Trading in and wondering what the difference actually buys? See what your budget replaces it with before you decide.
What you need to bring is the title in your name and your ID. If you cannot put your hands on the title, call us before you do anything else — it is usually solvable, and it is the one thing that genuinely holds a sale up.
And if we look at it and think you are better off keeping it, we will say so. Sometimes what sounds terminal is a starter or a sensor, and you are better off with the car than with our cheque.
Not sure whether to fix it or sell it?
Bring it in and we will tell you what the repair would cost. If it is not worth fixing, we will make you an offer on it the same day. We are a repair shop and a dealer in one building, so you get a straight answer either way — and if it will not move under its own power, Shako Towing, our sister company at the same address, can bring it in — call them on (559) 270-5796.
