What a smooth process

What a smooth process. They gave me a respectable offer that I was happy with. The paperwork process was fast and easy. My car was picked up quickly by a professional and every detail went as promised. Thank you for making the sale process stress free. Will sell more cars to them for sure.

They are Trash

They are Trash. The reviews on their website are Trash. I had a vehicle that Carmax offered me $9500 for and Givemethevin.com offered me $200. Don’t waste your time.

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your offer and appreciate you sharing your experience. Vehicle values can vary widely depending on many factors — including condition, mileage, market demand, and history — and our offers are based on current wholesale market data. We never want anyone to feel like their time was wasted, and we’re always open to reviewing any valuation concerns.

We also understand how frustrating it can be when expectations and offers don’t align. If you’re open to it, we’d love another chance to take a closer look at your vehicle details. Please reach out to us at reviews@givemethevin.com so we can try to make this right.

Thank you for considering us — even if we fell short this time.

Submitted vehicle info for an offer then ghosted

Submitted vehicle info for an offer. They responded with a fair offer. The agent who had been fairly prompt with replies and such, suddenly wouldn’t respond to any messages. I don’t know any legit business which suddenly ghosts potential clients. I ended up submitting the vehicle info to Carvana and within 2 hours I had a check in hand.

Thank you for your feedback — and we’re truly sorry for the lack of follow-through you experienced. That’s not the standard we strive for. Once we make an offer, we aim to provide clear and consistent communication throughout the process, and it sounds like we missed the mark.

We’re glad you were able to sell your vehicle quickly elsewhere, but we’d still appreciate the opportunity to review what happened on our end. If you’re willing, please email us at reviews@givemethevin.com so we can investigate and improve.

We appreciate you giving us a shot, and we hope to earn your trust back in the future.

They back out of deals

I was working with Ryan from Give Me the VIN. We negotiated a price on my car, Ryan confirmed and accepted the deal on my car. I sent Ryan all of the requested documents and told me his manager would get the paperwork started. He told me where to take the car & the title and I could pickup a check. Ryan then changed the delivery location and wanted me to pay for a condition report of the car. I told him I didn't want to pay for a condition report so he backed out of the deal. I had already provided Ryan with 10 pictures of the car and the car has no damage to it. Ryan waisted a lot of my time. I feel it's extremely bad business to make a deal with a customer then back out of the deal.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it was to have the deal change after you’d submitted everything. While we try to honor every offer, sometimes additional info or requirements — like a condition report — can affect final steps.

We appreciate your time and effort, and we’re reviewing this internally to improve communication going forward. If you’d like to reconnect, we’d be happy to take another look. Please feel free to reach out to us at reviews@givemethevin.com.

Thank you again for considering us.

Company Owner Is Unprofessional

Received an offer from givemethevin.com and an identical offer from another company. I asked givemethevin when they could get my car and never heard back from them. I accepted the other offer and told givemethevin. I got an email from the company owner who accused me of being dishonest. I explained to him that he had me confused with another customer and that I had done exactly what I should have done. I never heard back from the owner nor did I get an apology for calling me dishonest. I will never do business with this company.

That’s not the experience we aim to deliver, and we’re addressing this internally to prevent it from happening again. We appreciate you giving us a shot, even if we fell short, and wish you the best moving forward.

BEWARE!

BEWARE!! Absolutely ridiculous offer. They advertise they give a better price than other places, but they offered a price junk yards would offer. I realize I'm bias because I like my car, but when Carmax and a dealer offered $1500 to buy it, but show me the vin offered a only $500, I couldn't help but laugh. I would not use this service without checking with other places because you'll definitely make more money. This place seems to prey on the desperate. BEWARE!!

Thanks for your feedback — we understand how frustrating it can be to receive an offer that doesn’t match your expectations. Our pricing is based on real-time wholesale market data, and in some cases, that can differ from retail or dealer offers.

That said, we always encourage customers to compare offers, and we’re glad you explored your options. Our goal is never to “prey” on anyone — just to provide a fast, honest offer based on current values. If you’d like us to take another look, we’d be happy to do so. Either way, we appreciate you considering us.

We’re sorry to hear you feel this way. To clarify, our “$100 offer guarantee” requires a valid, written CarMax offer that we can verify and match against the exact same vehicle and condition.

We take claims like this seriously and would be happy to review your case in full. Please email the offers and vehicle info to reviews@givemethevin.com so we can investigate and make it right if there’s been a mistake.

A Slimy Deceptive Company

They seemed professional when I first contacted them and gave me an offer that beat my carmax offer so I wanted to go with them. However when they sent someone to do the last inspection, pick up the car and write the check. Things went south. They told me that they couldn't take the car for what they offered because it had more damage than what I reported which was a complete lie. They said that the bumper was falling off and wouldn't even match or beat the offer that carmax gave although it says they will beat carmax's offer on their website . I don't know if it was because we were older women and thought they could get away with it or if their business model just plays good cop bad cop. I ended up not selling to them because they wouldn't even match carmax's offer. I'm also supposed to get $100 for trying them according to their website but I know they won't do it as they also said they wouldn't even beat carmax's offer. I don't understand why they would think someone would go with a significantly lower offer or if the mobile inspector just didn't want to do his job that day. Reading other reviews, it seems like they do this for the $250 they charge you if you don't go with their offer. SELLER BEWARE. PROTECT YOURSELF FROM GIVEMETHEVIN. DO NOT CALL OR TRY TO SELL YOUR CAR TO THEM UNTIL YOU HAVE AN UNEXPIRED CARMAX QUOTE IN HAND SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU CAN REALLY GET BEFORE THEY TRY TO GET SLIMY WITH YOU.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry your experience didn’t go as expected. We pride ourselves on transparency and professionalism, and it’s disappointing to hear that you felt misled.

Our process includes a final physical inspection to verify the condition of the vehicle matches what was submitted. If there’s a discrepancy, it can affect the final offer — but we never aim to play games or take advantage of anyone. We also take accusations of bias or unfair treatment very seriously and will be reviewing this internally.

We’ve helped hundreds of thousands of customers nationwide and regret that we didn’t meet your expectations this time. Your feedback helps us improve, and we appreciate you considering us.

Greedy, Slow to Respond, and Shady.

I've worked with givemethevin in the past and used to have positive experiences. However, in recent times, they have declined significantly in service. They don't respond to emails or text messages, and it seems like they purposely delay their response so that your vehicle value will diminish. In my most recent case, they let the rival offer expire in order to avoid paying out their $100 "promise." Don't waste your time with them; just use a dealership or an alternate service to get your business done.

GMTV lied about the $250.00 “ONLY” applying to dishonesty of the seller.

In the FAQs you will find this: Q: “Why is there a $250 breakup/unwind acceptance on a purchase order to buy my car?
“A: This ONLY applies when a seller has not been honest. We take you at your word when providing information about your vehicle, and once we strike our deal, we incur many expenses in keeping our end of it. We believe people generally keep their agreements, and know you would understand that we experience losses in the event you suddenly change your mind after accepting our deal.”

This is NOT truthful. I was honest with them with all aspects of the process. Unfortunately, the day before my appointment we experienced a death in our immediate family that flipped everything on its head. I texted them and shared this information and canceled the appointment more than 24hrs before it was scheduled. Almost immediately I was sent the following response from them:

No worries. There is a $250 fee to break the agreement. You can remit payment to:
Givemethevin.com
8721 Airport Freeway
North Richland Hills, TX 76180

No concern or even regret to learn of the situation. Their focus was solely on getting the $250.00. I think this says a lot about the people you are dealing with. I was always honest with them from the start. I certainly will not return to them to sell my vehicle once we get through unfortunate loss in our family. Nor will I recommend them to anyone. Just sell it yourself…you will come out ahead.

First, we want to express our sincere condolences for your loss. We understand how difficult and unexpected life events can be, and we’re truly sorry that our response didn’t reflect more empathy during such a challenging time.

Regarding the $250 unwind fee — it’s intended to protect against losses incurred after a formal signed agreement has been made, such as transportation scheduling, paperwork processing, and title coordination. While our FAQ states it applies to situations involving dishonesty, we also apply it when a seller cancels after accepting a signed deal, as operational costs are still incurred. That said, we understand how this can feel unfair when personal emergencies arise.

We’re reviewing how we communicate these policies to ensure clarity and compassion are balanced.

Again, our deepest sympathies to you and your family during this time.

Not an ethical organization--AVOID Them.

I submitted my information on a 2020 Toyota Tundra. The responded with a price range that started above $30,000.00. I indicated that I wanted to sell my vehicle and would like an offer. They issued an offer for $27,000.00 for the truck ($2,000.00 below CarMax offer).
I let them know that their offer was far below the values of the truck and I was looking for a more serious offer.
They never responded with information or another offer.
They continue to ask if the vehicle is for sale but hey do not follow through on what their site promises.
I strongly recommend that you do not use this company.

Apologies for the delayed reply, and thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry the offer you received didn’t reflect what you expected based on our initial range. Our firm offers are based on real-time wholesale market data and the specific condition and details of each vehicle.

It’s also clear our communication didn’t meet the standard we aim for, and we apologize for that. We never intend to leave customers hanging — and we’re actively working to improve response times and follow-through.

If you’re still open to it, we’d be happy to revisit your offer and make things right. Please feel free to reach out to us at reviews@givemethevin.com. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve.

Extremely let down by GetMeTheVin

Extremely let down by GetMeTheVin. I was looking to sell my sports car and was quoted a good price. However, after submitting all the required documents and waiting for over a month, they suddenly backed out of the deal, citing issues with their inventory management. This not only cost me time but also a better deal that I had foregone expecting a smooth transaction with them. Their customer service was unhelpful and indifferent to my situation.

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how disappointing it must have been to feel let down after everything was submitted. That’s not the type of experience we aim to deliver.

While rare, operational or inventory-related issues can occasionally affect our ability to follow through on a purchase — but we should have communicated that more clearly and much sooner. We also regret that our customer service team didn’t provide the support you needed during this process.

We’re actively reviewing what happened in your case so we can improve. If you’re open to discussing further, please contact us at reviews@givemethevin.com. We appreciate your feedback and the chance to make things right.

Awesome experience with GMTV

After lots of researching and receiving offers from many car buying websites, we went with GMTV here in Tampa FL. Their offer was solid, the highest one, and then when I countered, they met me in the middle! I drove the car to their Clearwater location, Eric came outside, checked out the car and handed me a check. I deposited the check and it cleared the next business day.

To give you an idea of the difference in pricing for this vehicle, Vroom offered $1100. A local car dealership offered $1800 and GMTV’s final offer was $3250.

My daughter in law sold her car to them 2 days later in Charlotte NC and again, after sorting through lots of other offers, GMTV was the highest offer and the easiest experience.

You can’t go wrong with GMTV. Do your research though, offers are based on lots of different factors. Educate yourself and you’ll get the best offer 🙂

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a smooth experience with us in Tampa — and that Eric and the team took great care of you. We work hard to make sure our offers are competitive and our process is hassle-free, so it’s great to hear we delivered on both fronts.

We also appreciate the shoutout to our Charlotte team and are glad we could help your daughter-in-law as well. You’re absolutely right — doing your research makes a big difference, and we’re grateful you chose GMTV in the end.

Thanks again for trusting us — and for spreading the word!

False advertising

False advertising! They promise to beat carmax’s offer or give you $100. They lowballed me on their initial offer. So I asked for the $100. They replied asking for a copy of the offer from Carmax, which I provided. Three times. They then decided to completely stop responding. I will be filing a complaint with my state’s AG for their false advertising.
Don’t waste your time with these scumbags.
