Calgary's Own Cash for Cars Buyer - Not a Chain, Not a Middleman
We started YYC Cash For Cars because selling a car in Calgary was harder than it needed to be. Dealers would not touch older vehicles, private buyers wasted your time, and the few junk car services around lowballed everyone. So we fixed it.
We give you a real number based on your actual vehicle - the year, make, condition, and current Alberta scrap market - and we stick to it. No surprise deductions when our driver shows up. No cheques that clear a week later. You get what we quoted, in cash or by Interac e-Transfer, before we move your car off your property.
We are AMVIC-compliant, fully insured, and we handle the Alberta Registry title transfer ourselves. If you need junk car removal or scrap car removal in Calgary, the process is built to protect your time and your paperwork. You are protected from parking tickets, fines, or any liability tied to that vehicle the moment we take possession.

What We Actually Pay for Cars in Calgary
Everyone says "top dollar." Your offer depends on the year and make, the condition of the body and drivetrain, what parts are still usable, and what Alberta's scrap metal market is doing that week. A 2009 Toyota Camry with a seized engine is worth something different than a running 2017 Ford F-150 - and we price them honestly. Here is a general range so you know what to expect before you call:
These are real ranges, not inflated numbers meant to get you to call. The only way to get your exact number is to tell us about the vehicle - takes three minutes on the phone.

Cash for Junk Cars Calgary
If your car has been sitting in the driveway for two winters, won't start, has a transmission that gave up somewhere on Deerfoot Trail, or is simply costing you more in repairs than it will ever be worth — we want it.
We buy junk cars from every neighbourhood in Calgary. NW, NE, SE, SW, Downtown, the surrounding communities — it does not matter where you are or what shape the vehicle is in. Toyota, Honda, Ford, Dodge, Chevy, Hyundai, BMW, Subaru — we take all of them. Give us the year, the make, and a rough description of the condition, and we'll give you a number.

Your scrap car is worth real money even when it no longer runs. Steel, aluminum, copper, and the platinum-group metals inside the catalytic converter all carry market value. We know what those materials are worth, and we pay you accordingly.
We pick up the vehicle for free from any address in Calgary, drain all fluids in compliance with Alberta Environment guidelines, and recycle through ARMA-registered facilities. The Alberta Registry disposal paperwork is handled by us. You get paid, the car gets recycled responsibly, and nothing comes back to you.

If your insurer has declared your vehicle a total loss — from a collision, a hailstorm, a flood event near the Bow River, or anything else — we will buy it before you sign it over to the insurance company.
We regularly purchase write-offs with deployed airbags, bent frames, and serious structural damage. Call us first and find out what you could get.

Calgary's energy industry puts a lot of trucks and vans into service. When those vehicles reach the end of their working life, we buy them — pickup trucks, service vans, heavy-duty work trucks, and multi-vehicle lots.
If you're a contractor, a trades company, or a business with fleet vehicles to move, call us directly for fleet pricing.

Why Calgary Car Sellers Pick YYC Cash
AMVIC-compliant service, real Alberta scrap market pricing, payment before removal, Calgary-specific damage knowledge, and paperwork handled for you.
AMVIC-Compliant — The Only Calgary Scrap Buyer That Says It Plainly
AMVIC, the Alberta Motor Vehicle Industry Council, regulates automotive dealers and buyers in this province. We operate in full compliance. That means you are protected legally when you sell to us — not handing your keys and title to someone with no accountability. Ask for our AMVIC registration number when our driver arrives.
We Price Against Real Alberta Scrap Metal Rates
Our offers are built on what Alberta's steel, aluminum, copper, and catalytic converter metals are worth right now — not what they were worth six months ago. When commodity prices go up in Alberta's industrial market, your offer goes up with them.
Cash or Interac e-Transfer — Paid Before We Move the Vehicle
You choose how you want to be paid. Most Calgary sellers prefer Interac e-Transfer for larger amounts — it is instant, traceable, and safe. Others want cash in hand. Either way, payment happens before our driver touches your car. Not after. Not later. Before.
We Know Calgary's Damage Patterns
Chinook cycles crack suspension components and destroy undercarriage. June and July hailstorms total thousands of SE and SW Calgary vehicles every year. Spring flooding near the Bow and Elbow rivers damages cars in Inglewood, Seton, and surrounding areas. We price Calgary-specific damage fairly because we see it every week — you will not be penalized for conditions that are common here.
Title Transfer and Paperwork — Done by Us
Once you sign the vehicle over, we register the title transfer through Alberta Registry immediately. Any future fines, tickets, or liabilities tied to that vehicle are no longer your problem from the moment we take it.
