How fast can I get paid for my drill in San Diego?

It depends on the machine and its paperwork rather than on us. A unit with a clean title and clear photos has nothing to resolve before collection. What lengthens a sale is almost always a lien to clear, a title in a prior owner's name, or an unsettled estate — so if one of those applies, say so at the start and it can be worked in parallel.

Do I need to transport my drill?

No — we handle all transportation at our expense. We'll arrange pickup from your location in San Diego or anywhere in the SoCal area. Running or not, the transport is matched to the machine — a seized machine is winched or trailered rather than driven.

Do you buy non-running drill rigs?

Yes, we buy drill rigs in any condition — running, non-running, damaged, or incomplete. Our offers are based on fair market value adjusted for condition.

What documents do I need?

You'll need proof of ownership (title or registration) and a valid ID. For commercial equipment, a bill of sale is sufficient. If you have maintenance records, they can help increase your offer.
