How Selling Your Car to Us Works

The cash for cars process with us is built around three steps: get a free quote, book a free pickup, and get paid when we collect the vehicle. Same Day Cash For Cars buys cars across the Edmonton area, running or not, and completes the Alberta paperwork at pickup. Here is how it works, step by step.

Step by step

Three steps from quote to cash

01

Get a Free Quote

Get a free quote by phone or through our online form. Tell us the vehicle's VIN, year, make, model, and condition, including whether it runs. We use those details to build your offer. Your offer reflects the car's weight, condition, and any salvageable parts. See what your car is worth for how an offer comes together.

02

Free Pickup, Often Same-Day

Accept the offer and we schedule a free pickup, often same-day. Pickup costs you nothing, because free towing applies to every vehicle we buy, even a car that does not start or drive. We come to you across our service areas in the Edmonton area, so there is no shop visit and no need to move the car yourself.

03

Bill of Sale, Plates Off, Paid at Pickup

You are paid at pickup, in cash or by e-transfer, the moment we collect the vehicle. At the same visit we complete the Alberta bill of sale and you remove your licence plates. There is no waiting for a cheque to clear. The signed bill of sale records the sale and protects both the seller and the buyer.

Before pickup

What to Have Ready

Have a few things ready so pickup goes quickly:

  • The vehicle's VIN
  • Your registration if you have it
  • The details of the car's condition

In Alberta, the registration certificate proves registration, not ownership. The signed bill of sale is what documents the ownership transfer. Missing paperwork does not always stop a sale, and we explain what Alberta needs for your specific situation.

After the sale

What Happens After Pickup

A few things matter for you after the sale. Your licence plates stay with you, not the car, so cancel or transfer them at any Alberta registry agent, then file a Notice of Disposition to release your liability from the sale date. Cancel or transfer your insurance once the car is gone, since you no longer own the vehicle. The vehicle is then sent through responsible recycling channels, where hazardous components such as the battery and fluids are handled properly rather than dumped.

Every sale runs the same documented way, which is why selling to us is straightforward: a signed bill of sale, your plates removed, the Notice of Disposition explained, and your car responsibly recycled. Sam stands behind every quote and every pickup.
