Brooks is a city built on irrigation, agriculture and hard work.
Brooks sits about 185 km southeast of Calgary, right on the Trans-Canada Highway. It's a city built on irrigation, agriculture and hard work. A large beef-processing plant is the biggest employer. Farms, feedlots and oil and gas service companies keep the rest of the region moving.
It's also one of the most diverse small cities in Alberta. Families have come from all over the world to live and work here. Whatever brought you to Brooks, you may now have a vehicle you no longer need. Our cash for cars Brooks service makes selling it simple. We make a firm offer, tow at no charge, and pay before we leave your property.

Shift Work, Long Drives and Hard-Working Vehicles
Life in Brooks runs on shifts and long distances. Plant workers start early or finish late. Farm and oilfield workers drive gravel roads across the County of Newell. Trips to Calgary or Medicine Hat mean long stretches on the Trans-Canada.
All of that is hard on a vehicle:
Gravel roads chip windshields and wear out tires and suspension.
Wind and dust wear down paint, filters and seals.
Winter cold drains batteries and makes old engines hard to start.
Summer storms can bring hail across the open prairie.
When a vehicle needs a repair that costs more than it's worth, it's time to look at selling.
Selling Your Car When You're New to Canada
Many people in Brooks are newcomers. If you're selling a car for the first time in Alberta, here's what you need to know:
The registered owner sells the car.
The person named on the registration needs to sign.
Bring photo ID.
It should match the name on the registration.
Use a bill of sale.
We fill it out with you, and you keep a copy.
Keep your licence plate.
In Alberta, the plate belongs to you, not the car.
Cancel the registration and insurance.
Visit a registry agent, then call your insurer.
If anything is unclear, ask us when you call. We'll walk you through it, step by step.

Our Services in Brooks
Junk car removal
A car that won't start is no problem. Maybe it died in a cold snap or after a long shift. We'll tow it from your driveway, apartment lot or back lane. Let us know where it sits and if the wheels turn. That's all we need to plan the tow. See our junk car removal service.
Scrap car removal
When a vehicle has nothing left to give, we make sure it's recycled the right way. We drain every fluid, pull the battery and tires, and send the steel to be recycled. It's cleaner for the land around Brooks and the irrigation water that farms rely on.
Cash for junk cars
A car with a bad engine or failed transmission still has value. We look at its weight, its parts and its catalytic converter. Then we give you one firm price. If the car matches your description, that number won't change.
Cash for trucks
Farm trucks, oilfield pickups and work vans are common around Brooks. They work hard on gravel and in all weather. When yours is worn out, we'll buy it, rust and all. Read more on our cash for trucks page.
Cash for hail-damaged cars
Storms roll across the open prairie fast. If hail has dented your car and the repair isn't worth the deductible, we'll buy it as it is. Most hail-damaged cars still run, and that helps your offer.
Free towing
The tow is free from anywhere in Brooks and the surrounding County of Newell. It never comes out of your offer, even though Brooks is a long drive from our base.

Moving Away From Brooks?
People move in and out of Brooks often. Some take a new job in another city. Others move closer to family. If you're leaving, don't wait until the last week to deal with the car.
Decide early whether the car is coming with you.
Driving an old car across the country is risky and costly.
Remember the inspection.
If you're moving to another province, the car will likely need an inspection there before it can be registered.
Sell before you go.
Book your pickup a few days before moving day, not on the day itself.
Finish the paperwork.
Cancel the registration and insurance so nothing follows you after you leave.
Why Not Just Sell It Online?
You can. But in a smaller city, selling an old or damaged car online can take weeks. Buyers ask for test drives, make low offers, or don't show up at all. And if the car doesn't run, most won't even look. With us, you get one firm number and a pickup that fits your schedule.
