About Scrap My Car Calgary — Buying Cars the Honest Way Since 1998

In 1998, selling an old car in Calgary meant classified ads, weeks of waiting, and haggling with strangers in your driveway. We believed there was a simpler way: one phone call, a fair offer, free towing, and payment on the spot. That idea hasn't changed in over two and a half decades — we've just gotten faster at delivering it.

Since then, we've bought thousands of vehicles across Alberta, weathered every market swing in scrap metal prices, and picked up cars in January cold snaps when nothing on four wheels would start. Through it all, one principle has held: the number we quote is the cash you receive. No towing fees clawed back, no last-minute renegotiation at your curb, no games.

We're not a national dispatch line quoting your car from another province. When you call (403) 990-6802, you reach the same local team that shows up with the tow truck. That matters in a place like Alberta: we know that a 4x4 truck holds its value here, that hail season produces write-offs by the hundreds, and that a car that won't start at -30 still needs to be gone today, not next week.

Being Calgary-based since 1998 also means our reputation lives where we work. Our customers are our neighbours, and repeat business and referrals — parents, then their kids, then their kids' first junk cars — are how we've grown for more than 25 years.
