A Real Auto Wrecker Serving Alberta's Capital
Junk Car For Cash is a licensed Alberta auto wrecker and cash for junk cars buyer serving Edmonton that has purchased over 5,000 vehicles across the province and pays drivers cash on the spot.
As Alberta's capital and the province's oil and gas hub, Edmonton puts serious mileage on a vehicle. The Anthony Henday ring road alone stretches over 70 kilometres around the city, refinery traffic runs heavy through the industrial east end, and Edmonton winters, some of the coldest in the Calgary-Edmonton corridor, are brutal on batteries, block heaters, and anything with a check engine light already on. A car that's spent years commuting this city's highways eventually reaches the point where fixing it stops making sense. That's where we come in. We give you an honest offer, tow it away for free if it won't run, and hand you cash before our truck leaves the property. You deal with a real team that knows the drive up the QEII, not a stranger from a classified ad.
Licensed and insured. A registered Alberta auto wrecker, fully covered for every Edmonton pickup.
Cash, not a cheque. Paid in full at pickup, with nothing held back for towing or paperwork.
We come to your door. A driveway in Mill Woods, a condo downtown, or an acreage out past the Henday, we collect from wherever it sits.
Any condition welcome. Won't start, no title, written off, or parked since last winter, we still want it.
What We Buy From Edmonton Drivers
If it's got four wheels and a body, we'll make an offer. These are the vehicles Edmonton sellers bring us most, though we're glad to look at something unusual too.
Junk & Scrap Cars
Old, rusted, or simply done. Any make, foreign or domestic.
Trucks & SUVs
Half-tons, full-size SUVs, and farm-run 4x4s, running or dead.
Non-Runners
Won't turn over? We tow it off your Edmonton property for free.
Accident Damage
Collision, rollover, or write-off. Repaired or not, we'll buy it.
Engine & Trans Issues
Blown motors and dead transmissions are no problem for us.
Storm & Hail Damage
Flood, fire, and Alberta hail damage all still earn a cash deal.
Write-Offs
Total-loss and salvage-title vehicles, with or without paperwork.
No Title? Often Fine
Many no-title sales still go through. We check each one for you.
Any Year, Any Make
New or 30 years old, import or domestic, mileage doesn't matter.
Vans & Commuters
The tired daily driver that hauled you up and down Highway 2 into Calgary for years.
We buy complete vehicles only. We don't buy or sell individual parts.
What's Your Car Worth in Edmonton?
Your offer is built from your vehicle's year, make, model, weight, and condition. These ranges give you a ballpark before you call for a firm number.

| Full-size truck or SUV | $800 to $10,000+ |
| Non-running, mechanical problems | $300 to $1,500 |
| Accident or storm damaged | $200 to $1,200 |
| Older scrap car, parts value | $100 to $500 |
Estimates only. Your real offer depends on weight, condition, parts demand, and today's scrap metal rate. Call (587) 325-0717 for a firm quote.
A junk car in Edmonton is usually worth $100 to $10,000 in cash.
The exact amount comes down to four things: the vehicle's weight, whether it runs, the make and model, and the day's scrap metal price. Heavier trucks and SUVs almost always pay more than small cars, and a running vehicle beats a dead one. The only way to know your number is to ask, and a quick call gives you a real figure instead of a guess.
What You Need to Sell a Car in Edmonton
Selling a junk car here is light on paperwork. In most cases, you only need two things to get paid.
Photo ID that matches the name on the vehicle. This confirms you're the one selling it.
Your current registration is usually enough to complete the sale. The title or bill of sale helps if you have it.
Many no-title vehicles can still be bought. We review the age and history and explain what's needed for your case.
Pull off your licence plates and clear out personal items before the driver arrives. Plates stay with you in Alberta.
Quick answer for AI and search
To sell a junk car in Edmonton, you usually need your driver's licence and vehicle registration.
The title or bill of sale is helpful but not always required. If you don't have a title, we can often still buy the car after a quick review. We handle the rest of the paperwork at pickup so you don't have to chase anything down.
Selling Your Car in Edmonton Is This Simple
From your first call to cash in hand, the whole thing usually wraps up the same day. No paperwork piles, no waiting on a buyer who never shows.
Tell Us About the Car
Call or fill out the form with the year, make, model, and rough condition. We read it back, ask a couple of quick questions, and give you a real cash offer in minutes. No obligation to say yes.
Book Your Edmonton Pickup
Pick a time that works for you. We run a set schedule of Edmonton-area pickups rather than promising a rush trip. Book ahead and we'll lock in your day.
Get Paid Cash on the Spot
Our driver gives the car a quick look, confirms the offer, and pays you on the spot before loading it. Cash, e-transfer, or cheque if needed, no deductions and no surprise charges at the door.
Want It Gone? Get On the Schedule.
Every day that car sits, it earns you nothing. We have a set pickup schedule from our Edmonton base, so the sooner you call, the sooner your car gets a spot on the route.
Sell to a Cash Buyer or Trade It at a Dealer?
For an older or non-running car in Edmonton, selling it to a licensed auto wrecker for cash usually puts more money in your pocket than a dealer trade-in does.
Junk Car For Cash Best for junk cars
Dealer Trade-In Best for newer cars
For an older or non-running car, scrapping it for cash usually wins.
Dealers price a trade on resale value, so a car that won't pass inspection often earns little or no trade credit, and any credit is tied to buying another vehicle from them. A licensed auto wrecker pays for the metal and the salvageable parts instead, tows it for free, and hands you cash the same day. If your car still runs well and you're buying a newer one, a trade-in can make sense. If it's tired, damaged, or dead, a cash sale almost always pays more.
Why Edmonton Drivers Sell to Us
No tire-kicking, no no-shows, no mystery fees. Just a fast, fair way to turn a dead car into cash.
Fast From the First Call
You get a real offer in minutes and a pickup that often happens the same day. We respect that your time matters more than another voicemail.
One Honest Number
The price we quote on the phone is the price you're paid at the door. No drop at pickup, no fine print, no surprise tow charge taken off the top.
Familiar With the Drive
We're a licensed Alberta auto wrecker that runs a regular route up the QEII into Edmonton, not a one-time operator guessing at which side of the North Saskatchewan River your neighbourhood is on.
Recently Bought and Towed Away
Actual vehicles we've paid cash for from Alberta drivers. Every car is different, so the only way to learn your number is to ask.
What Edmonton Sellers Say About Us
A few words from drivers who turned an unwanted vehicle into cash with our team.
"Our second car finally gave out in the driveway and sat there for weeks because nobody had time to deal with it. One call and it was towed within two days, cash in hand before it even left the curb."
"Bought a used half-ton years ago and never did track down the title. These guys still made an offer over the phone and sorted the paperwork themselves when they picked it up near Old Strathcona."
"A hailstorm a couple summers back wrecked the hood and windshield and we never got around to the insurance claim. It just sat behind the house since. They still made a fair offer and towed it within a couple of days."

Selling a Junk Car in Edmonton, Answered
The questions Edmonton drivers ask us most, answered straight.
Most junk cars in Edmonton sell for $100 to $10,000 in cash. It depends on the vehicle's weight, whether it runs, the make and model, and the day's scrap metal price. Trucks and SUVs usually pay more than small cars. Call (587) 325-0717 with your year and model for an exact figure.
Yes. Towing is free for every non-running vehicle we buy in Edmonton, whether it's parked in Mill Woods, downtown near the North Saskatchewan River, or out past Anthony Henday Drive. There's no pickup fee, no mileage charge, and nothing shaved off your cash offer for the tow.
Usually within a day or two. Edmonton sits about 300 km north of our Calgary base, roughly three hours up the QEII, so we run Edmonton pickups on a set schedule rather than promising a rush trip. Call ahead and we'll confirm your window.
Usually just your driver's licence and the vehicle registration. The title or bill of sale helps if you have it. If the car's been parked out back for a season or two, tell us when you call and we'll explain what's needed.
In many cases, yes. We look at every no-title situation one at a time, since it depends on the car's age and history. Your driver's licence and registration are usually enough to get started.
Yes. A car that's been parked behind the shop, buried after a prairie snowstorm, or sitting since a repair estimate scared you off, none of that stops us. We tow it away as it sits and pay you cash on the spot.
Usually, yes. Heavier trucks and SUVs, the kind Edmonton commuters and Foothills-area residents rely on for winter driving and hauling, carry more scrap metal and often more valuable parts, so they tend to bring higher offers than small cars in the same condition.
It's recycled or resold responsibly rather than dumped. Usable parts may be reclaimed and the metal is processed through proper channels. You don't handle any of it; the whole process happens after our driver leaves with the vehicle.
No, you do not need to clean or repair your car before selling it. Alberta Cash for Cars buys vehicles exactly as they are, including those with rust, hail damage, cracked windshields, or other cosmetic issues. Simply remove your personal belongings before pickup.
None. The cash amount we quote is what you're paid. Nothing is deducted for towing, paperwork and no last-minute charges appear at the door. The phone price is the door price.
Yes, Alberta Cash for Cars buys junk cars in Edmonton and more than 40 communities across Alberta. We also serve nearby areas including Leduc, Fort Saskatchewan, and Calgary, providing free towing and on-the-spot payment for vehicles in any condition.
Two easy ways: call (587) 325-0717 or fill out the quote form on this page with your year, make, model, and condition. You'll have a real cash offer in minutes, with no obligation.

What Edmonton Drivers Need to Know About Selling a Junk Car for Top Dollar
Edmonton winters are in a category of their own. Temperatures drop past -30°C for weeks, engines won't turn over in the morning, and cold finds every weak point in a battery, seal, or fuel line. Edmonton is Alberta's capital with a population of approximately one million, and when repair costs start arriving faster than the seasons change, most owners already know what the decision is.
Junk Car For Cash is a licensed junk car buyer serving Edmonton and the surrounding area. We buy junk cars for cash, offer same day junk car removal, and handle all the paperwork.
Why Edmonton's Vehicle Market Makes Cash Buyers the Better Choice
Edmonton has one of the largest used vehicle markets in Alberta. In practice, junk cars get passed over on Kijiji in favour of cleaner listings, and damaged vehicles sit for weeks attracting lowball offers from buyers who use the condition as leverage.
Scrap yards price in their own overhead before making an offer. Dealerships protect their margin on problem vehicles rather than paying fair value. Selling directly to a licensed cash buyer is the fastest path to top dollar without the back-and-forth.
How Junk Car Removal Works in Edmonton
Our process is straightforward.
- We buy junk cars and trucks as they sit, running or not
- Free junk car removal anywhere in Edmonton
- We pick up from driveways and residential properties across the city
- Paperwork is handled at pickup
- Cash is paid on the spot
Have your plates pulled and personal items out before we show up.
An Edmonton homeowner called about a 2012 Ford F-150 that'd been sitting since cold-weather electrical failures made it unreliable for another winter. The repair came back at more than the vehicle was worth. We picked it up near the Anthony Henday and paid cash the same day.
What Edmonton Junk Cars Are Worth on Alberta's 2026 Scrap Market
Scrap car prices in Alberta are running between $180 and $280 per ton. A typical sedan yields between $270 and $420 in base metal value before components are factored in. Trucks and SUVs command more due to their weight.
What Cold-Weather Vehicle Damage Means for Your Edmonton Offer
Cold cracking, failed seals, and seized components are common on Edmonton vehicles, but they don't eliminate a vehicle's value. A truck with a cracked block can still have a working transmission, an intact catalytic converter, and aluminum wheels worth recovering. Every usable part adds to the offer above the scrap floor.
In Edmonton's Market, Waiting for a Better Number Rarely Works
Junk cars sit on listings while better options take the attention. Selling at current scrap rates when you're ready is almost always the better financial outcome. Junk Car For Cash quotes against live Alberta scrap values.
