What Counts as a Junk Car
A junk car is any vehicle you no longer want and no longer use. The car does not have to be wrecked to qualify. We regularly buy vehicles that fit one or more of these situations:
- Rusted bodies and rotted frames that are not worth repairing
- High-mileage cars that have reached the end of their useful life
- Vehicles that have been sitting unused for months or years
- Cars that failed a recent inspection and would cost more to fix than they are worth
- Old second vehicles or work cars taking up driveway, garage, or yard space
We buy junk cars whether they start or not. A car that will not turn over is still worth an offer, because its weight, parts, and recyclable materials hold value even when the vehicle does not drive. We also buy non-running cars that have a specific mechanical fault stopping them from moving.
Junk vs Scrap vs Salvage
These three words get used interchangeably, but they describe different vehicles, and the difference affects how an offer is built.
A junk car is an unwanted or old vehicle that may still run but has little resale value.
A scrap car is at the end of its life and is valued mainly for its metal and parts; you can read more on our scrap car removal page.
A salvage vehicle has a branded status or damage history and is often repairable rather than dead.
You do not need to classify your car correctly before you call. We buy junk, scrap, salvage, and write-off vehicles, and we tell you which category fits when we quote. Junk car removal is one part of our wider cash for cars service across the Edmonton area.
Free Towing and Same-Day Pickup
From a garage
Tucked in a garage or carport? We load it from where it sits.
Driveway or street
We pick up from your driveway or curbside - no need to move it.
Parking lot
Dead in a lot at work or home? We come to the vehicle.
Out on an acreage
Rural property or back forty - our tow reaches the surrounding counties.
Free towing applies to every vehicle we buy. There is no distance charge, and no amount is taken off your offer to cover the tow. When the vehicle matches the details you gave us, the quote you accept is the amount you are paid at pickup. We point out anything that would change the offer before we go ahead. We bring the truck, load the car, and remove it at no cost to you, even when it cannot be driven onto the trailer.
Same-day pickup is available in most cases, depending on where you are and how the day's schedule fills. We confirm the pickup window by phone so you are not left waiting around. Free pickup runs throughout the Edmonton metro and the surrounding towns; see our service areas for the communities we cover. Because plates stay with the owner in Alberta, you keep yours when the car leaves.
How It Works and Paperwork Handled
Selling a junk car to us follows three simple steps, and you are paid at pickup rather than later.
Get a free quote by phone or through the online form. Have your vehicle's year, make, model, and condition ready, along with the VIN if you can find it.
We book a free pickup, often same-day, at a time that suits you.
We complete a signed bill of sale on site, take the keys, and pay you by cash or e-transfer before the car is loaded.
Every sale is fully documented. We sign an Alberta bill of sale with you, you remove your licence plates beforehand, and we explain the Notice of Disposition so that liability for the vehicle leaves you on the sale date. Sam, who runs the business, oversees how every quote and pickup is handled, so the process stays accountable from the first call to the moment you are paid.
