A seized engine, a blown head gasket or a dead transmission can turn a car into a lawn ornament overnight.

Is Your Car Junk? Five Clear Signs
Not every old car is junk. But most people know the moment their car crosses the line. Here are the signs we hear about most often.
The repair costs more than the car is worth.
When the shop quote is bigger than the car's value, the decision is made for you.
It failed an inspection.
Rust, worn brakes or frame damage can keep a car off the road for good.
It hasn't moved in a season.
Flat tires, a dead battery and a nest of mice under the hood are common after a Calgary winter.
You simply don't need it.
A second car you never drive is still costing you insurance and space.
If two or more of these sound familiar, it's time to make a call.
Where We Pick Up Junk Cars in Calgary
Junk cars end up in all kinds of places. We go where your car is, not just where it's easy.
Driveways and garages
The most common pickup. If the car has flat tires or won't roll, tell us. We'll plan for it.
Back alleys
Many Calgary homes have lane access, and that's where old cars often end up. Alleys can be narrow, icy or rutted, so let us know about tight corners, fences or overhead wires.
Condo and apartment parkades
Underground parkades have low ceilings and tight turns. A regular flatbed often can't fit. We'll ask about the clearance and the stall location before we book the pickup. It also helps to let your property manager know when we're coming.
Acreages and shops
Cars parked behind a shop or out in a field are welcome. Just tell us about gates, soft ground and how close a truck can get.

Why You Shouldn't Just Leave It
It's easy to put off. But a junk car keeps costing you in ways that add up.
Bylaw trouble.
Calgary doesn't allow unregistered or uninsured vehicles on city streets or in lanes. Even a registered car left in one street spot for more than three days can be treated as abandoned.
Insurance and registration.
Many people keep paying for a car they never drive. Those dollars are gone for good.
Leaks and stains.
Old cars drip oil, coolant and brake fluid. In Calgary, storm drains lead to the Bow and Elbow rivers. What leaks from your car can end up there.
Lost value.
A junk car is worth the most today. Every winter adds rust and drops its value.
Lost space.
That stall, garage bay or patch of driveway could be used for something better.
What to Have Ready
The pickup takes about 15 minutes when you're prepared. Have these ready before we arrive.
Photo ID that matches the name on the registration
Your vehicle registration, or other proof that you own the car
The keys, if you still have them
Your licence plate, removed. In Alberta, the plate stays with you.
Then empty the glove box, trunk and door pockets. People often forget garage door remotes, parking passes and sunglasses.
What Happens to Your Car After Pickup
We don't just haul your car away and forget about it. Cars with good parts may be stripped for reuse. Fluids, batteries and tires are removed and handled safely. The metal is then recycled into new steel. Read more about our scrap car removal process.
One call, one number
Junk Car Removal vs. Selling Privately
Selling a junk car on Marketplace sounds simple. In practice, it rarely is. You field lowball offers and no-shows. Buyers want to see it run. Then you still have to arrange a tow if they buy it. With our service, you make one call, get one number, and the car is gone the same week. If you want to know what your car is worth, see how we price cash for junk cars.
How to Choose a Junk Car Removal Service
Not every company that tows junk cars treats you the same way. Before you book junk car removal Calgary drivers can trust, ask these four questions.
Is the tow really free?
Some companies quote a price, then take a "hook fee" off at the curb.
Is the offer firm?
A price that drops when the truck arrives isn't a real offer.
Do you handle the paperwork?
You should get a signed bill of sale every time.
Where does the car go?
A good service recycles the car properly instead of dumping it.
If a company can't give clear answers, keep looking.
