Back alleys
Older neighbourhoods like Westmount, Highlands, Alberta Avenue and Bonnie Doon, where a tow truck has to back in carefully.

Citywide car buying
Across Edmonton. At your door.
Edmonton is a big city to sell a dead car in. It covers hundreds of neighbourhoods, and when a vehicle will not run, the hard part is finding a buyer who will come to your side of town without trimming the offer to cover the drive.
We are based just north of the city in St. Albert, and our trucks cross Edmonton every day. From a Castle Downs driveway to a Mill Woods cul-de-sac, the tow is free and you are paid before loading.
Call or text (780) 699-7175 for a firm offer.

A familiar problem
The Edmonton winter problem
Long stretches near minus 30 kill batteries and starters, crack radiators and freeze coolant in neglected systems. Diesel gels without the right fuel or additives. A cracked engine block on an older vehicle is usually the end of it.
Freeze-thaw cycles also produce potholes that bend rims and wreck suspensions every spring. Road salt eats through brake lines and frames. If your car has been sitting since a cold snap, you are far from alone.
Winter can end a car’s road life. It does not erase its value.
Move it before it costs more
Abandoned and derelict vehicles
The City of Edmonton can treat a vehicle left on a public street for more than a few consecutive days as abandoned and have it towed, leaving impound fees on a car you did not want.
On private property, a wrecked or dismantled vehicle visible to neighbours can be reported and lead to an order to remove it. Selling before either happens saves money and hassle. For exact rules, check with the City of Edmonton at 311.
Make space. Avoid the notice.
We can remove a vehicle from a driveway, alley, shop lot or other accessible location.
A firm number, explained
How your offer is calculated
Distance within Edmonton does not lower your price. A difficult pickup does not either, provided we know about it in advance.
Parts value
Engines, transmissions, alternators, catalytic converters, wheels and panels from common models.
Metal value
Vehicle weight and current scrap steel and aluminium prices.
Condition
Whether it runs, whether it is complete, and rust, hail, fire or flood damage.
Mileage and model year
Lower kilometres and newer models generally mean more usable parts.
