Scrap Car Removal Calgary

Most scrap cars in Calgary bring $100 to $3,500 cash. Small cars and sedans usually get $100 to $600, SUVs and minivans get $350 to $2,000, and pickup trucks get $500 to $3,500. Late-model write-offs with valuable parts can reach $10,000. Call (587) 355-1464 for your exact price.

We look at five things: the vehicle's weight, its make and model, whether the engine, transmission, and catalytic converter are still in it, the condition of the parts that still work, and current scrap metal prices. Heavier and more complete vehicles get higher offers. Your address doesn't change the price.

No. If your car matches what you told us on the phone or in the form, you get the exact amount we quoted. The driver only checks that the details line up, like the year, the model, and whether the engine is still in it.

No. Towing, paperwork, and pickup are all free. We don't charge distance fees, winching fees, or weekend fees, and nothing comes off your quote.

You get paid in cash on the spot. Our driver pays you before your car is towed away, so you never wait on a check in the mail.

For a car that doesn't run, selling to us is usually faster and often works out better once you count the cost of a tow. Many scrap yards pay mainly by weight and expect you to bring the car in. We come to you, tow for free, and factor the parts into your price, not just the metal.

Yes. Free flatbed towing comes with every scrap car pickup in Calgary, in all four quadrants. It's also free in nearby areas like Airdrie, Chestermere, Cochrane, and Okotoks, and on acreages in Rocky View County.

Yes. Call before noon and we can usually pick up your car the same day. If you call later, we'll book you for the next morning or any time that suits you. We run 7 days a week, from 6 AM to 11 PM, holidays included.

Yes. An adult needs to be there with government-issued photo ID that matches the registration, to sign the bill of sale and take payment. If the registered owner can't be there, call before booking so we can confirm which documents we need.

Yes. Our flatbed trucks winch vehicles onto the deck, so the car doesn't need to start, steer, or roll. Missing keys won't stop the pickup. Just mention it when you call so we send the right equipment.

Yes, all year long. Our trucks are set up for Calgary winters, and snowbanks, cold snaps, and tires frozen to the ground are all part of the job. There's no extra charge for winter pickups.

You need your Alberta vehicle registration certificate and a government-issued photo ID with the same name on it. We bring a bill of sale and fill it out with you at pickup. Take your license plates off first, since in Alberta the plates stay with you.

Often, yes. Alberta uses a vehicle registration certificate as proof of ownership, not a title. If yours is lost, or the car came from an estate or a family member, call us before booking. We buy cars without registration case by case and will tell you exactly what proof we need.

Remove them before pickup. In Alberta, plates belong to the registered owner, not the vehicle. You can keep them for your next car. After the sale, cancel the registration at an Alberta registry agent, where you may get a refund for the time left on it, and call your insurer to cancel coverage.

Yes. We buy junk cars, scrap cars, and running used cars in any condition. A car that still runs usually gets a higher offer, because the engine and drivetrain still have value. If your car is worth more than scrap, we'll price it that way.

Yes. We pay cash for accident-damaged cars, hail and flood damage, and salvage vehicles. For a write-off, you need to keep the car: your insurer subtracts the salvage value from your settlement, and then you can sell it to us. We quote it on its remaining parts and metal, not on what it was worth before the damage.

Yes. We buy pickups, SUVs, crossovers, minivans, cargo vans, and work trucks in any condition. Trucks and vans often pay more than cars because they're heavier and their parts are in demand. We also buy fleet vehicles from Calgary businesses.

We buy complete vehicles only, so we don't buy loose parts. A car that's missing its engine, transmission, or catalytic converter still gets an offer, just a lower one. Tell us what's missing when you call and we'll price it accurately.

Your car goes to an Alberta vehicle recycler. The recycler drains fluids like oil, coolant, and fuel under provincial environmental rules, pulls usable parts, and shreds and recycles the steel body. We don't buy or sell parts ourselves.

We serve all of Calgary, in every quadrant, plus 30+ Alberta cities. That includes Airdrie, Chestermere, Cochrane, Okotoks, Strathmore, High River, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Banff, and Canmore. If your town isn't listed, call us anyway.

Yes. Scrap Auto Removal is a Licensed and Insured scrap car removal company based in Calgary that has been buying vehicles since 2019. Every sale comes with a signed bill of sale, so you have a record that the vehicle is no longer yours.
