The PCAP Promise

We believe buying or selling a used car shouldn't be a gamble. Our mission is to use a radically transparent approach to give sellers a higher return and buyers total peace of mind. We're an open book, and this is exactly how we work.

Step 1: The Initial Appraisal & Certification Prep

When you consign your vehicle to us, we begin with a comprehensive appraisal to determine its true market value. We'll show you the clear price differences between a low trade-in offer, a wholesale auction, and what you can earn from a retail sale.

From there, we identify any obvious repairs needed to make your car a top-tier candidate for our certification. We'll examine everything from mechanical problems to tire tread and cosmetic damage.

Step 2: The Open Auto Certified Inspection

This is where our radical transparency comes into play. We will take your vehicle to a certified mechanic to perform our rigorous "Open Auto Certified" inspection. We then create a detailed video, showing you and potential buyers every aspect of the car-including any flaws-so everyone knows exactly what they're getting. This leaves no room for dishonesty and eliminates any chance of the "typical dealer experience."

Important: If a vehicle is deemed unsafe or has issues that could be a problem for a buyer, we will recommend fixing the issue. If you do not wish to fix it, your vehicle and your upfront fee will be returned to you.

Step 3: Professional Reconditioning & Marketing

Once certified, your car receives a full professional reconditioning treatment to ensure it stands out.

• Professional Detailing: Your vehicle will be professionally detailed by our trusted partners (such as J and B Express Detailing, CB Detailing, and others).
• High-Resolution Photography: We will take professional photos to showcase your vehicle in its best light.
• Expert Marketing: We professionally market your vehicle on leading automotive platforms and to our network of buyers.

Step 4: The Sale & Closing the Deal

We handle all inquiries, vet potential buyers, and present you with all offers and terms. We will counter or accept on your behalf based on our agreed-upon minimum price, ensuring you get the best possible return.

To make the deal as easy as possible, we also offer:

• Transparent Financing: We can facilitate auto loans from our network of lenders, with a clear and honest 0.8% interest markup on deals.
• Warranties & Protection: We offer extended warranties and other protection products, allowing the buyer to drive away with confidence.
• All Paperwork: We take care of all the legal and DMV paperwork, making the process seamless.

Where We Make Our Money (Total Transparency)

To build a sustainable business and provide this level of service, we have to be profitable. We are an open book about how we make our money.

• Upfront Fee: The non-refundable flat fee of $980 covers the cost of our professional services: appraisal, detailing, inspection, photos, marketing, and sales facilitation.
• Profit on Services: We make a standard profit on key add-on services, such as facilitating loans, selling extended warranties, and installing high-end ceramic coatings. Because we have discounted rates for labor and parts, we can perform any needed repairs at a competitive price and still be profitable.
• Buyer Fee: A fee of $300 is paid by the buyer at the time of the sale, which goes toward covering our administrative costs and ensuring a secure, professional transaction.

We've laid it all out there. With PCAP Motors, you know exactly what you're getting and what you're paying for.

Our Story

October 2024, Jack helped his great detailing client, Mr. Cathie, sell his car. From this transaction, an idea and business were born. There was a serious way for a young car detailer to help people get more value for their money.

Although detailing can get you a better return on a trade-in, PCAP knows it is never the fair amount. So Jack set out to form what is known today as PCAP Motors. The "PCAP" stands for Ploszay Capital, which is a future project. Jack felt it was catchy and went with it.

PCAP then set out to help people sell their cars for retail.
