To get cash for your car in Calgary, you should not need a week of phone tag. Describe the vehicle and its problems, and you get a cash offer on the call. If it works for you, a flatbed tow truck leaves our south-east Calgary yard, often the same day.
The pickup is free and you are paid before the truck leaves, so it is cash in hand at the curb. We pay up to $10,000, depending on the vehicle. Phone 403-991-7717 any day from 9am to 9pm.
Three short steps make selling your car simple. Call or send the form and get a price. Choose a pickup time. The driver checks the car against your description, you sign the bill of sale, and you are paid before the tow truck pulls away.
If you are looking for cash for cars and one of these applies, here is how each is handled. Most are easier to sort than they look, so it stays easy to sell your car in Calgary.
To price a scrap vehicle in Calgary we need the year, make and model, rough kilometres, whether it starts, and what is missing or damaged. Be upfront about a missing catalytic converter or engine, because the driver looks there first. At the curb we match the dash VIN to your ownership document and your photo ID to the registered owner. The bill of sale lists the VIN, price and both names; you get a copy. Unscrew your plate first, since in Alberta it stays with you. See how scrap yards calculate their offers, or visit our main page on scrap car removal in Calgary.
No keys is the easy one. The winch drags the car onto the deck, so it never has to start or roll. A lost registration means a short errand: the registered owner can get a duplicate registration certificate at an Alberta registry agent. You can sell old cars without current registration if you hold that document. If the car is registered to a parent, partner or friend, that person signs or gives you written authority to sell. Alberta’s Authorization for Vehicle Services form lets someone else cancel or transfer a registration for the owner. Worried about a loan? A registry agent can run a Personal Property Registry lien search on the VIN. Want to sell a salvage car your insurer wrote off but left with you? Same paperwork.
Clearing out a relative’s garage is hard enough. Alberta’s estates guidance says to contact a local registry office about a deceased person’s vehicle, and the province lists a probated will and letters of administration as proof-of-ownership documents. Once the estate’s representative has that, we buy the car like any other. Payment happens at the vehicle, before it is towed: cash, or a company cheque if you prefer. No towing charge comes off at the curb. Still deciding whether to fix it? See junk car removal in Calgary, or weigh up scrapping versus a private sale.
We buy junk cars and running ones alike. Whether your car still runs or has sat through three Calgary winters on flat tires, the number depends on the year, make and model, the condition of the car, and which major parts are still on it. A used car that starts and drives is often worth more than a non-running car of the same age. For scrap vehicles, weight matters most, and current scrap metal prices move week to week. So each call gets a fresh offer for your car, not a figure from a price list. To learn what your car is worth, call with honest details and you get a fair cash offer you can accept or turn down.
We offer free towing on every vehicle we buy. Each quote has free towing included, so nothing is deducted for the tow. The driver can tow your junk car from a driveway, lane or shop lot. A car that won’t roll is winched on, and we tow the vehicle for free. Got an unwanted car taking up space in the garage, or a car sitting in your driveway since last winter? Book the tow for a time that suits you. Same-day pickup, and with it same-day cash, is often possible when you call early. We collect non-running vehicles across Calgary, and outside Calgary in the towns listed below.
A private listing suits a used car in good shape. For a junk vehicle it is slow: buyers want test drives and a car that passes inspection, and few car buyers in Calgary will arrange their own tow. Selling it for cash to a car removal service skips those steps. Calgary sellers make one call, hear one price and book one visit, and we pay cash on the spot once the paperwork matches. A private sale may bring more for a car that runs well. A cash for cars service is quicker when you simply want to sell a car that doesn’t, turn the vehicle into cash and be rid of a junk vehicle this week.

Our cash for scrap cars service also goes past city limits, to Okotoks, High River, Strathmore, Chestermere, Airdrie and Cochrane.
Yes. Getting cash for a junk car does not depend on current plates. An expired registration does not block a sale, provided you have the document naming you as owner and photo ID. If that paper is gone too, the registered owner can get a duplicate registration certificate at an Alberta registry agent before we book.
We can still take it. The winch pulls the car onto the flatbed, so a missing key never stops the tow. Mention it on the call, since a locked steering wheel changes how the driver lines up the truck. We still need proof you own the car and photo ID.
Alberta’s guidance on estates says to contact a local registry office about a deceased person’s vehicle. The province accepts a probated will or letters of administration as proof of ownership, so the person named in those documents usually signs. Then call us to book.
It is a good idea. The plate stays with you, so you can move it to your next vehicle, return it, or cancel the registration at a registry agent. Bring ID and the plate. If you are eligible, Alberta mails a refund, less a cancellation fee.
Yes, if he has your ownership document, a signed note from you authorizing the sale and his own photo ID. Afterwards, Alberta’s Authorization for Vehicle Services form lets him cancel the registration at a registry agent for you. Tell us when you call so we know who to expect.
That is how it is meant to work. The quote is built on your description, so the driver confirms it is the right car, the engine and transmission are there, and nothing major was left out. If something big differs, you hear why before signing. The cash payment then happens at the curb: the driver will pay you cash, or a company cheque if you prefer, before the tow.
