Simple Process
How Our Cash for Cars Service Works
Tell Us About Your Vehicle
Start with the year, make, model, mileage, general condition, whether it starts and drives, and your location. Mention major mechanical issues, collision damage, or missing parts so the offer starts closer to reality.
Receive Your Vehicle Offer
We assess what the vehicle may be worth based on its condition, type, age, usable components, resale potential, and current market factors. You can review the offer without committing.
Choose a Pickup Time
We arrange vehicle pickup from your location within our service area. If the vehicle does not start, that is fine. Free towing is available for vehicles we purchase within the areas we serve.
Complete the Sale and Get Paid
When we arrive, we confirm the vehicle matches the information provided, complete the paperwork, arrange payment, and take the vehicle away. One vehicle problem off your list.
Vehicle Types
What Kind of Vehicles Can You Sell?
You do not need a perfect vehicle to ask for an offer.
We consider:
Running cars — for owners who want a direct sale without listing, meetings, or repeated negotiations
Cars that no longer run — including dead batteries, failed engines, transmission problems, and long-parked vehicles
Older and high-mileage vehicles — that may still carry parts, resale, metal, or complete-vehicle value
Collision or hail-damaged cars — when repair costs no longer make financial sense
Scrap and end-of-life vehicles — with recoverable value in their parts, components, weight, and completeness
Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans — across the common passenger vehicles people want to sell quickly
Vehicle Value
How Much Is My Car Worth?
There is not one honest answer that applies to every vehicle. Two cars of the same year can be worth very different amounts depending on how they have been used, maintained, damaged, or repaired.
Year, make, and model matter. Overall condition matters. Mileage matters. Completeness matters. Current market conditions matter. The simplest solution is to get an offer based on your car today.
Private Sale vs Direct Offer
Private Sale or Cash for Cars: Which Makes More Sense?
A private sale may make sense if you have a desirable car in excellent condition and you are comfortable spending time marketing it. But convenience becomes much more important when the vehicle has problems.
The real question is not only whether you could possibly get more somewhere else. It is also how much time, effort, and additional money getting that extra amount will require.
You do not want strangers coming to your home.
The vehicle cannot be test-driven or needs help getting moved.
You need the parking space back and do not want the process to drag on.
Repairs would cost more than you want to spend before selling.
You are tired of answering marketplace messages and negotiating repeatedly.

Repairs and Sitting Vehicles
You Don't Need to Repair the Car Before Calling
If your goal is to sell the vehicle rather than continue driving it, ask what it is worth before paying for repairs. A repair bill does not necessarily increase the sale value by the same amount.
Sometimes repairing the vehicle makes sense. Sometimes selling it as-is is the smarter option. Getting a quote first gives you another number to compare against the repair estimate.
And if the car has been sitting for months, that is more common than you might think. Tell us where it is, why it was parked, and what you know about its condition. We will start from there.
The repair was too expensive or a replacement vehicle was already purchased.
A family member stopped driving or the vehicle failed and dealing with it got postponed.
You do not need to solve the battery, tires, brakes, and original fault before contacting us.
Getting a quote first helps you compare the value of selling as-is against spending more money.

Alberta Paperwork
Selling a Vehicle in Alberta| Keep the Paperwork Simple
A vehicle sale should leave both sides with a clear record of what changed hands. We help make sure the sale is properly documented so you are not left wondering what happens after pickup.
Before the vehicle leaves, have your ownership information and identification available and remove personal belongings from the car. It is also a good idea to check the glove compartment, centre console, trunk, under the seats, door pockets, garage-door opener, parking passes, toll devices, sunglasses, and personal documents.
Do not forget your licence plate before the vehicle leaves. If your ownership situation is unusual, such as an inherited vehicle or missing paperwork, contact us first and explain the situation.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Cash for Cars
What does cash for cars mean?
Cash for cars is a direct vehicle-buying service where you receive an offer without advertising the vehicle privately. If you accept, pickup and payment are arranged directly.
Do you only buy scrap vehicles?
No. We consider running vehicles, older cars, non-runners, high-mileage vehicles, accident-damaged cars, trucks, SUVs, and vehicles that have reached the end of their useful life.
Can I sell a car that doesn't start?
Yes. A vehicle does not need to start or drive before you ask for an offer. Tell us what is wrong and where it is located so pickup can be planned properly.
Is towing included?
For vehicles we purchase within our service area, towing is included.
How do you determine my car's value?
The offer can depend on the year, make, model, mileage, condition, completeness, resale potential, usable components, and current market factors.
Should I repair my car before selling it?
Not necessarily. Get an offer first and compare it with the cost of repairing the vehicle. That makes it easier to decide whether spending more money on the car is worthwhile.
Do you buy vehicles outside Calgary?
Yes. We serve Calgary as well as a number of surrounding and Alberta communities. Availability depends on your exact location, so contact us with your city or town.
What information do I need for a quote?
Usually the year, make, model, mileage, condition, whether the car runs, and your location are enough to start.
Do I need to clean my car before pickup?
A full detail is not necessary. Just remove your personal belongings and anything you want to keep.
How quickly can the vehicle be picked up?
Same-day pickup may be available in Calgary. Pickup outside Calgary depends on location, availability, and scheduling.
Ready To Start?
Ready to Find Out What Your Car Is Worth?
Maybe the car still runs. Maybe it has not started since last winter. Maybe you have been telling yourself you will list it next weekend for the last three months. Whatever brought you here, you do not have to decide anything before knowing your options.
Tell us about the vehicle. We'll give you an offer. Then you can decide whether selling it makes sense.
