We Buy Junk Cars in Any Condition
Can I get cash for a junk car in Edmonton if it doesn’t run?
Yes. We pay for vehicles in any condition, including cars that won’t start, have no keys, or were written off by insurance. The price depends on the car’s weight, the current scrap steel price, and parts that still have value, such as the catalytic converter. Towing is free.
Cars That Won't Start or Move
Dead batteries, seized engines, and cracked blocks after a deep freeze are the most common calls we get. Flat tires and lost keys are fine too. Tell us if the car rolls and if the tires hold air. That tells us which truck to send.
Cars With Expired Registration or Failed Inspection
An expired registration does not stop the sale. You still need to show the car is yours. We also buy vehicles that failed an out of province inspection or a salvage inspection and are not worth fixing.
Rusted, Hail Damaged, or Written Off Cars
Road salt on the Henday and Whitemud eats through frames, brake lines, and rocker panels. Hail can total an older car in one storm. We buy all of these, including cars your insurer wrote off. If you kept the car after a payout, see the salvage section below.
Running Cars You No Longer Need
A second car you stopped driving, a vehicle with very high mileage, or a car that costs more to insure than it is worth all qualify. If your car runs well and looks good, a private sale may pay more. We will tell you that on the phone.
How We Calculate Your Cash Offer
If the car doesn't run, or repairs cost more than it's worth, selling to a buyer who tows for free is usually fastest: one phone quote, free pickup, and payment on the spot. A private sale can bring more money, but only for a car that runs and looks presentable, and finding a buyer takes longer.
Tell Us About Your Car (Photos Help)
Share the year, make, model, and condition. Tell us if it starts, if you have the keys, and where it sits. Mention anything that adds value, like newer tires or a working transmission.
Get a Fixed Cash Offer by Phone
We price your car on its real condition and today's scrap value. You get one number. There is no pressure to accept.
Book Your Free Junk Auto Removal
Pick a time that works for you. Same day pickup is available when our schedule allows. Our driver comes to your home, workplace, or wherever the car is parked.
Get Paid When the Car Is Loaded
The driver checks the car against the description you gave, you both sign the bill of sale, and you get paid. The car leaves with us, and your plates stay with you.
Cash for Junk Cars in Edmonton: What Is Yours Worth?
How much will a junkyard pay for a junk car in Edmonton?
It depends on the car. Offers are based on its weight, the current scrap steel price, and any parts that can be resold, like the catalytic converter, alloy wheels, or a working engine. A heavy pickup or SUV usually earns more than a small car.
What Affects Your Offer
We look at five things:
- Weight. Scrap steel is paid by the tonne, so a heavier vehicle is worth more.
- Scrap steel price. Steel prices change often, and our offers change with them.
- Catalytic converter. The platinum, palladium, and rhodium inside make it one of the most valuable parts on the car.
- Working parts. An engine, transmission, or alloy wheels that can be resold add to the price.
- Missing parts. If the engine or converter is gone, the offer drops, so mention it when you call.
Why Online Estimates Differ From Real Offers
An online calculator guesses from the year and model. It cannot see rust, missing parts, or flood damage. That is why some buyers quote high on the phone, then lower the price once they see the car in your driveway. Anyone looking for cash for junk cars deserves one honest number, so we ask the right questions and price the real car before we come. The number we give you is the number we pay.
Why Edmontonians Choose Us
The Price We Quote Is the Price We Pay
If the car matches what you told us, the offer does not change when the truck arrives. No last minute deductions, no second round of haggling.
Free Towing, No Deductions at Pickup
Towing costs you nothing anywhere in our service area. We never take towing fees out of your payment. If a buyer tries to, treat it as a warning sign.
Junk Auto Removal From Parkades, Alleys, and Snowbanks
Tight spaces are the hardest part of Edmonton car removal. We pick up from back alleys in older neighbourhoods, condo lots, underground parkades, and driveways buried after a snowstorm. Tell us the parkade clearance and where the car sits, and we plan the right truck.
From Call to Cash
What to Have Ready Before Pickup
What paperwork do I need to sell my car in Edmonton?
You need your registration certificate as proof of ownership, valid photo ID, and a signed bill of sale listing the buyer, seller, price, date, and VIN. We prepare the bill of sale at pickup. Remove your plates before the car leaves, because they stay with you. Clear any lien before the sale
Photo ID and Proof of Ownership
Have your driver's licence and registration certificate ready. The name on the registration should match your ID. In Edmonton a bill of sale can be handwritten and does not need a notary, and it becomes legally binding once both parties sign.
Missing Registration or Ownership Papers
Lost paperwork is common. Any Edmonton registry agent can issue a duplicate registration certificate to the registered owner, so bring your photo ID. Call us first and we will explain what you need before booking pickup.
Remove Your Plates and Personal Items
Your plates stay with you. Move them to another vehicle or return them to a registry agent. Cancelling the registration may get you a refund for unused time, minus a $10 plus GST fee. Check the glovebox, trunk, and under the seats before pickup.
Cancel Your Insurance After the Sale
Call your insurer the same day the car leaves. Your copy of the bill of sale proves the car is no longer yours, so keep it with your records. If you are buying another car, ask them to move the policy to it instead of cancelling
