CLIENT STORIES
Martin
Mount Prospect, IL
I originally tried to sell my fathers 2010 Toyota Camry by myself, but the highest offer I got was $3,500 and I had to deal with some interesting shoppers and lots of no-shows.
DRIVEBYE detailed the interior, which was almost like mission impossible, took the dents out, painted the rear bumper and had the O2 sensor replaced. The car turned out like a gem and they were able to sell it for $7,000 within 3 weeks.
I am genuinely blown away.
Mary
Des Plaines, IL
I wasn't comfortable meeting with strangers being a single mom, so I reached out to DRIVEBYE for help.
​
They screened all the calls for my 2007 Chevy Impala, handled the paperwork and got me paid. I didn't have to talk to a single person.
​
The best part was that I got $2,500 more than I expected for my car.
​
To say that I am happy is an understatement. Thank you DRIVEBYE!
Oliver
Buffalo Grove, IL
I listed my 2015 Honda Odyssey online by myself without any luck. All people kept asking was "Is this available?" and never replied back. I was also pretty discouraged with all the low-ball offers. It was a waste of time.
​
I called DRIVEBYE and they cleaned my car, took professional photos and videos and had my car online in 3 days.
​
It took 3 weeks to sell, but not only did they sell my car, they got me $4,300 more than my highest offer.

OUR STORY
DRIVEBYE wasn’t planned—it was born from a simple act of helping a friend. Our founder, with over 25 years of automotive expertise, has always had a passion for making car-related challenges easier for people. One day, a close friend in Schaumburg was dreading the process of selling their car—dealing with lowball dealer offers, sketchy strangers, and confusing paperwork. Our founder stepped in, handling everything from start to finish, and got them a great deal without the stress.
​
Word spread fast. That friend told another in Palatine, who told another in Hoffman Estates. Soon, neighbors and colleagues were asking for the same help. “You should turn this into a business!” they said. And so, DriveBye was created—a service designed for busy suburbanites like you, who want to sell their car for top dollar without the headache.
We take care of every detail, from cleaning and listing to negotiating and paperwork, so you can focus on what matters most. What started as a favor has grown into a trusted, local solution, helping northwest Chicago residents sell their cars safely, easily, and for more.
