TCB The Car Buyer (thecarbuyer.com) has created a Coronavirus Car Relief Program to assist vehicle owners who have been affected or financially burdened with unnecessary auto debt.
The program was created to provide a quicker and safer approach to selling your vehicle online. In response to COVID’s effect on the auto industry, TCB is now offering to list your vehicle for FREE to SoCal’s Largest Dealer Network and will be Donating a portion of proceeds to Coronavirus Victims.
Here’s Why You Should Let Us Sell Your Car
We will help you get bids on your car from guaranteed buyers today.
Rather than listing your car for sale privately, we will be listing your vehicle to the largest Dealer Network in Southern California. This will bring your vehicle much more exposure and will get you bids from buyers who must meet demand needs. Don’t waste time listing your vehicle on various sites and arranging for in-person inspections with unqualified buyers. We are confident that listing your car with TCB will be the only platform you need to sell your vehicle.
The listing process is absolutely free and will not require you to leave the safety of your own home – at least until your vehicle is sold.
If you want to sell your car quickly, this is the option for you.
Here’s What We’re Doing To Help
In order to protect and assist those who have been affected by the Coronavirus, our company has pledged to donate a portion of proceeds from sales generated by this program. We hope to assist individuals who have been seriously affected by the Coronavirus Pandemic in the following sectors: hospice and healthcare workers, entertainment working individuals, restaurant workers, financial advisors, government workers, and service-oriented workers (uber, lyft, hotels).
Here’s What To Do If You’ve Been Contacted
TCB has a reserved list of donation organizations that we wish to donate these proceeds. If you are a part of any specific one of these organizations and have been contacted by a TCB representative, we respectfully wish to list your name as a part of extending our program. We would specifically like to work together to generate a number of sales to help provide economic compensation in response to the damage created by this Pandemic.
If you have not been contacted by a TCB representative, but still wish to enlist your organization, we kindly ask to email your information to [email protected]. We cannot wait to hear from you!
Below you will learn more about how everything works. If you haven’t done so already, you may fill out TCB’s sell car online form now.

Your first step is to submit your vehicle’s details on TCB’s sell car online page, or contact a TCB Car Expert by calling (310) 692-8080.
Submit Your Vehicle Details
Once you submit your contact information, a TCB Car Expert will contact you to discuss the next steps of the process. The next formal step of the process is to complete our vehicle condition disclosure form. This will disclose any knowledge you have on the condition of your vehicle and will be used to accurately list your vehicle for sale, in order to get you the most money for your car.
We’ll review your vehicle history report using Carfax and similar tools, all for the purpose of delivering you the most accurate price you will receive for your vehicle.
Send Us Photos
We will need accurate and up-to-date photos of the vehicle, proof of identification and ownership of your vehicle. Please send these photos to [email protected]
Required pictures of the vehicle:
- Front & Rear
- Both Sides
- Hood & Trunk
- Engine
- Odometer
- All Seats
- Any damage, scratches, dings, or dents
Required Proof of Identification:
- Driver’s License, Real ID, or Passport of the vehicle’s Registered Owner’s
- Vehicle Title or Payoff information
Once we receive this, we are one step closer to listing your vehicle for sale!
You Choose Your Vehicle’s Selling Price
Once you submit your contact details, vehicle condition questionnaire and photos of your vehicle, your just about ready to have TCB The Car Buyer list your vehicle for sale.
The next thing we require is the desired sales price of your vehicle. A TCB Car Expert will advise you on a target price of sale that is based on consumer demand and the market’s pricing index; however, your vehicle’s selling price is ultimately decided by you, the vehicle owner.
*It is important to understand that TCB will not sell your vehicle without your written consent on a price that you agree on.

Once your vehicle has reached its floor price or you have decided to accept an active bid on your vehicle, you will be required to bring your vehicle to our location within 48 hours. Our location address is 4609 W. Century Blvd, Suite 200, Inglewood, CA 90304. If you prefer to have a TCB Car Expert pickup your vehicle, we can do that too.
It is our businesses guarantee to reflect a 100% transparent process, keeping you actively updated on the bidding activity that your vehicle receives. We kindly ask that you reciprocate a cordial means of communication throughout the entire process, in order to ensure an efficient and professional sale of your vehicle.
Complete All Paperwork
Skip the lines at the DMV and make selling your car hassle-free!
All paperwork for the sale of your vehicle will be completed by a DMV Licensed TCB Car Expert in-house. We will handle the vehicle/vessel transfer of possession, bill of sale, odometer disclosure statement, release of liability, and vehicle payoff paperwork with your lienholder.
Hand Over Your Vehicle and Keys
Once paperwork is completed and contracts are signed, congratulations! Collect any remaining items from your vehicle, hand over the keys, and we will hand you what you came for: the very best cash offer for your car.
You will be pleased that you have chosen TCB, the easiest place to sell your car!
Have The Title? We’ll Pay You Directly
Get ready to complete paperwork and get paid in 30 minutes or less! The clock is ticking!
So long as the registered owner of the vehicle is present during the sales process, we will write out a business or hand you a cashier’s check at our location.
Have A Payoff / Lien? We’ll Take Over Your Car Loan
If you still owe money on your vehicle, not to worry, at TCB we are ready to take over your car loan. Please call your financial institution or lienholder on your vehicle and request a 10 day payoff – to be paid off by a third party Dealer.
After you let us know who the lienholder is, we will work closely with you and the lienholder to release you from full financial responsibility from your vehicle. We’ll handle all payoff information, DMV paperwork, authorization of payoff, and work with your lender to obtain the title. We will pay off the remaining balance of the loan and the remaining value of your vehicle. If there is a remaining balance on the amount owed on your vehicle (loan value – vehicle selling price) the vehicle’s registered owner will be required in writing a check for this difference.
Walk Away With A Business Check or Cashier’s Check
All steps are complete, it’s time to pay you.
We have a very quick turnaround for our entire process. You can expect to receive an update of information regarding the sale, book your inspection appointment, complete your paperwork and receive your business check or cashier’s check all within 48 hours.
Terms & Conditions

Read more about our 100% transparent terms and conditions. We’re dedicated to getting you more for your vehicle with a safer transaction process.
A Safer & Transparent Transaction
TCB The Car Buyer works with Paypal Payment Processing to authorize a $300 preauthorization charge without capturing payment. This is a means to hold the right to purchase your vehicle. Funds will not be released to TCB The Car Buyer until the vehicle sells. If the vehicle does not sell, Paypal will release the preauthroization balance immediately (read more from Paypal).
*$0 Listing Fee, or ‘Free Listing’ means that there is no charge to list your vehicle for sale. TCB The Car Buyer does however request a Pre-Authorization payment to reserve the sale of your vehicle. This is managed by Paypal and is not considered a Charge for listing as the amount is not withdrawn from your account until the vehicle is sold. TCB does not guarantee a sale, as this depends on the pricing, condition, and demand of your vehicle. If the vehicle does not sell and you wish to take down your vehicle’s listing, you will be refunded the full amount of $300 as Paypal will return this balance immediately.

What To Do When Your Vehicle Sells?
Once your vehicle is sold on our network you will be 100% responsible for communicating with TCB The Car Buyer and arranging for vehicle pickup or drop off within 48 hours. Once the vehicle is sold, we own the right to your vehicle and will need to take possession of your car so we can get you paid. You will be required to bring your vehicle within 48 hours to our location at 4609 W. Century Blvd, Suite 200, Inglewood, CA 90304.
We provide everything you need, including the listing of your vehicle, the management of your vehicle for sale, the pickup or drop off of your vehicle, the DMV paperwork, lienholder payoff, and more.
Do You Offer Buying a Vehicle Outright?
Yes of course!
If you’d prefer to get an outright cash purchase offer on your vehicle, you may do so by completing the form on TCB’s sell car Los Angeles page.
Please keep in mind that this program is an extension of our efforts to help in any way we can to those being affected by the Pandemic. We wanted to give our customers more for their vehicles than what we are normally able to offer when we buy the vehicle outright.
Do You Accept Vehicle Trade-Ins?
Yes we do!
We have helped so many people downsize their current vehicle and get into a new one. There are so many great deals going on for new cars and we specialize in partnering with just about every Dealer Manufacturer throughout Southern California aside from Tesla. If you wanted to trade in your car for a new car, TCB does that too. Just fill out TCB’s trade car page here.
We are confident that this is a great option, especially during this time of hardship as saving on unnecessary bills and paying too high of a car payment does indeed seem necessary at this time.
