Simple & Secure
How CarSkipper Works
Whether you're buying or selling, our Skippers guide you through every step of the transaction — safely and transparently.
Browse & Request
Search verified listings in your area. When you find a car you love, submit an appointment request — no money needed yet.
Secure Your Spot
Pay a small refundable deposit to lock in the appointment. This reserves the car for 7 days — exclusively for you.
Meet Your Skipper
A trained Skipper meets both you and the seller. They verify IDs, inspect the vehicle, and facilitate the exchange safely.
Drive Away
Once payment clears and documents are signed, your Skipper hands you the keys. Title transfer handled by CarSkipper Ops.
List Your Car
Create a listing in minutes. Add photos, set your price, and define your availability — it's free to list.
Buyer Puts Down a Deposit
When a buyer is serious, they put down a deposit that locks in the appointment. No tire-kickers — only committed buyers.
Skipper Handles Everything
Your Skipper meets both parties, verifies identities, collects payment, and oversees the vehicle inspection.
Get Paid Securely
Once CarSkipper confirms the title transfer, funds are released directly to your account. Safe, fast, guaranteed.

Real Stories
What Our Customers Say
Thousands of Texans have bought and sold through CarSkipper. Here's what they're saying.
I was nervous about selling my truck privately — I'd heard too many horror stories. CarSkipper's Skipper handled everything. I got my asking price and never felt unsafe for a second.
Found a great Lexus RX350 through CarSkipper. The deposit locked it in so no one else could snatch it. Meeting was professional, quick, and I drove home same day. 10/10 would use again.
As a first-time car buyer, I was intimidated. My Skipper walked me through everything — the inspection, the paperwork, even explained how the title transfer works. Felt totally protected.
