The shortest route to sold
If you've got a car you want gone and would rather not spend a month managing strangers, this is the shortest route from “I should sell that” to money in your account. Tell us what it is, get a number, and we'll come to you.
The honest answer
If your vehicle is three years old, low kilometres, undamaged, has its service history in a folder, and is one of the models everyone in Alberta wants—a recent half-ton, Tacoma or RAV4—you will do better selling it privately. Genuinely.
That's not modesty. It's arithmetic.
We have to resell it, so a spread must exist somewhere. Where we become the better deal is when friction enters: high kilometres, cosmetic damage, a mechanical issue on the way, an unpopular model, out-of-province history—or simply your time being worth more than the difference.
Running vehicles lead the range
Depending on the vehicle, offers run from around $800 up to $15,000.
Trucks and SUVs hold value far better in Alberta than sedans. Central Alberta buys trucks, and the local market sets the number.
QEII commuting means many Red Deer vehicles carry more kilometres than their age suggests. A five-year-old car with 220,000 km prices like an older one.
Rockers, wheel wells, brake and fuel lines, and the frame. Five months of road salt makes rust the biggest local value killer.
Tires, brakes, a windshield or an upcoming timing belt are costs the next owner must absorb, so they factor into the offer.
Hail dimples, a cracked bumper or mismatched panel matter less to us than to a private buyer—often making us the better option for a dented but healthy car.
About twenty minutes
Most of the time is paperwork. There is no mechanic's inspection and no theatrical list of manufactured faults designed to soften you up for a lower number.
Home, work, the repair shop, or your parents' driveway in Normandeau.
A straightforward look to make sure the vehicle is what we discussed.
Both sides sign, and you leave with your own copy.
Cash or e-transfer, then we load it or drive it away.
Less than people expect
Bring photo ID matching the registered owner and proof of ownership. We write the bill of sale on site—you do not prepare one.
Have your ID, registration and vehicle details ready.
Take your plate off. In Alberta it belongs to you, not the car.
Cancel or transfer registration at a registry and call your insurer about any prepaid-policy refund.
Still financed? Mention the outstanding loan when you call. Lien payouts are routine; they simply need to be arranged rather than discovered on pickup day.
More than money
Usually it is not because they dislike taking photos. They need the sale finished.
The move is eleven days away and the second vehicle cannot come.
The family is clearing a parent’s property from another city.
Three weeks, two serious enquiries, and both went quiet.
The new vehicle is home and now two policies are running.
A divorce, job change, or condo move leaves one stall and two cars.
In all of those, the difference between our offer and a perfect private sale is worth less than being finished by Thursday.
Everything we'll buy
If it does not start, that is a different service—see junk car removal—but you are in the right place either way and the same phone number reaches us.

Straight answers
Call if your situation has paperwork, financing or timing complications. Most are easier to solve than they sound.
(403) 427-0732Running vehicles generally fall between $800 and $15,000. Year, make, model, kilometres, rust and mechanical condition decide where. One phone call gets you a real figure.
It is our best number rather than an opening position, so there is not much room in it. What we will not do is quote high to get into your driveway and then talk it down—that is the practice this process exists to avoid.
Offer within a few hours. Pickup is usually same day or next. Start to finish, most sales close inside twenty-four hours.
No. We buy as-is. If it already failed an inspection, that is fine—tell us, and it simply factors into the number.
Yes, with the lien handled as part of the sale. Tell us upfront so we can arrange it properly.
Common, and usually workable. Estate sales and vehicles owned by someone who can no longer drive come up often. You will need documentation showing you can sell it—call and we will tell you exactly what.
Either. Both happen before the vehicle leaves.
