  • Why should I choose DriveBye instead of selling my car myself?
    Selling your car on your own means dealing with strangers, endless messages, haggling, and safety risks—not to mention the time it takes. With DriveBye, we do all the heavy lifting. Our 25 years of automotive expertise ensure your car looks great, sells fast, and gets top dollar, often 10-20% more than a dealer offer. Plus, we keep you safe by managing buyers and test drives. Save your weekends for family, not car sales—reach out to get started!
  • How is DriveBye different from trading in my car at a dealership?
    Dealerships often lowball you to maximize their profit, offering far less than your car’s worth. DriveBye gets you 10-20% more by marketing your car to private buyers while handling all the work. We prep your car to shine, negotiate smart, and manage the sale, so you get a better deal without the dealership hassle. Curious about your car’s value? Drop us a note!
  • How much does DriveBye charge for its service?
    Our fees depend on your car and the services needed, but we’re upfront about costs after assessing your vehicle. Unlike dealers who cut into your payout, our goal is to maximize your profit—often netting you thousands more. We’ll walk you through everything when you contact us, so there are no surprises. Let’s talk about your car today!
  • How long does it take to sell my car with DriveBye?
    Every car is different, but we typically sell faster than if you did it yourself because we know the market and prep your car to attract serious buyers. Most cars sell within a couple of weeks, sometimes sooner. We’ll give you a timeline after reviewing your vehicle. Ready to get moving? Fill out our contact form!
