ABOUT US
Your Trusted Car Dealer in California Since 2013
Since 2013, Auto Trading Services has been a trusted name in vehicle purchasing across Southern California. As a leading California auto dealer, we make the selling process simple, transparent, and fast. With over 20,000 vehicles purchased and counting, we’ve built a reputation for honesty, efficiency, and personalized service.
Our Story
Auto Trading Services began with a simple idea: car owners deserve a better way to sell. Founded by Waqas, a seasoned professional with experience in California’s auto industry since 2008, we set out to build a more honest and hassle-free alternative to traditional dealerships and classified ads.
Starting with our first office in La Palma, CA, we grew quickly by putting people before profit. As a customer-focused California car dealer, we’ve helped thousands of car sellers across Southern California get fair offers, quick payments, and peace of mind.
Our Mission
We are here to simplify the car-selling process while ensuring every customer gets a fair and transparent deal.
Transparency
No hidden fees. No lowballing. Just data-backed offers based on real-time market value.
Convenience
Whether you want to drop off your vehicle or prefer home pickup, we make it work for you.
Integrity
We never push or pressure. If our offer isn’t right for you, we respect your choice.
Meet Our Founder
With over 17 years of experience in California’s used car market, Waqas founded Auto Trading Services to help vehicle owners avoid the pitfalls of traditional car selling. His vision was simple: combine fair pricing, personal service, and modern efficiency to deliver an experience customers actually enjoy.
He remains actively involved in day-to-day operations, ensuring each client receives the attention, honesty, and respect they deserve.

Licensed. Transparent. Trusted.
At Auto Trading Services, we believe selling your vehicle shouldn’t feel like a negotiation. It should feel like a smart decision. That’s why thousands of Southern Californians trust us to turn their used cars into cash.
Our doors are open six days a week, ensuring we’re available when our customers need us, except for select holidays. We believe that selling a used vehicle should be quick, safe, and straightforward.
In the traditional auto trade, licensed car dealers often undervalue customer trade-ins. At Auto Trading Services, we take a different approach. Your vehicle is appraised based on the current market value, ensuring a fair and transparent process. Unlike franchised car dealers, our lower overhead costs allow us to auction our inventory directly at dealer-only auto auctions. This efficient business model means more money in your pocket, as we don’t bear the high costs typical of other dealers.
HASSLE-FREE SELLING OF VEHICLES
We’re committed to beating or matching any written dealer offer.
