Business identity
Junk My Car YYC operates in Alberta and serves Calgary and the surrounding region.
About Junk My Car YYC
Calgary car buyers focused on end-of-life vehicles and straightforward payouts.
We buy vehicles that have reached the end of their life, remove them from anywhere in Calgary, and make sure they are recycled properly. No showroom, no consignment, and no number that mysteriously drops when the tow truck arrives.
Junk My Car YYC has operated in Calgary since 1998. We work all four quadrants and the surrounding towns, from Beltline parkades and Bowness back alleys to Foothills County shelterbelts and Bow Valley condo lots.
How We Price A Vehicle
Openly, because opacity is how this industry earned its reputation.
Weight of recoverable steelIt does most of the work, which is why a rusted 3/4-ton can beat a clean compact.
Scrap steel marketIt moves week to week with global demand, which is why fixed price lists are misleading.
Catalytic converterUsually the most valuable single component, and it varies hugely by vehicle.
Non-ferrous contentAlloy wheels, aluminum radiators, and copper wiring add real money.
CompletenessA whole vehicle beats a shell, which is why we ask what is missing up front.
Our commitment
- The phone quote is what you are paid unless the vehicle is materially different from described.
- If we ever revise an offer we explain exactly why.
- You can decline at no cost.
- We would rather ask three more questions up front than have an awkward driveway conversation later.
Licensed And Accountable
Buying and disposing of end-of-life vehicles in Alberta is regulated.
We work inside those rules and only want real licences, real memberships, and real business identifiers shown here.
Operating rules
Operating in compliance with Alberta's Scrap Metal Dealers and Recyclers Identification Act and its regulation.
Calgary requirements
Subject to the City of Calgary's transaction-recording requirements for scrap metal dealers.
Environmental handling
Fluids and hazardous materials handled under Alberta's Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act at certified facilities.
Insurance
Insurance details are available on request as part of a live quote or scheduled pickup.
Licences and memberships
Specific licence and membership details are provided directly when relevant to the transaction.
Where Your Vehicle Goes
Certified Alberta facilities, in four stages.
A single end-of-life vehicle holds several litres of hazardous fluid. In a city whose drainage runs to the Bow and Elbow, and where municipal bylaws prohibit exposed storage of engine oil, brake fluid and antifreeze, that is the real argument for using a licensed buyer rather than whoever quotes highest.
Where We Work
Calgary first, then the surrounding towns and clearout jobs.
We focus on Calgary first and also take on surrounding-town and clearout work where the file makes sense.
Calgary
All four quadrants, NW, NE, SW, and SE, including downtown parkades, inner-city back alleys, and acreages inside and outside the ring road.
Surrounding towns
Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, Okotoks, High River, Strathmore, Olds, Didsbury, Diamond Valley, Canmore, Banff, Drumheller, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, and Brooks.
Clearouts
Fleet, farm, and multi-vehicle clearouts for contractors, dealerships, body shops, property managers, and farm yards with several derelicts to move at once.
What We Won't Do
The rules we keep because they matter to the seller.
These are the behaviours that separate a serious buyer from a driveway bait-and-switch operator.
✓
Quote high to win the job and cut it on arrival. If a number changes, we explain why and you can walk.
✓
Charge you for towing. Within our service area, pickup is included.
✓
Buy a vehicle you do not own. If it is not registered to you, no legitimate buyer can.
✓
Skip the paperwork. You get a signed bill of sale every time.
✓
Tell you to scrap a car that should be sold privately instead. If it runs, drives, and would pass inspection, we will say so.
Get In Touch
Phone or text is still the fastest way to get a real number.
