Do you buy cars without keys in Calgary?

Yes. We buy cars with lost or broken keys as they are. Tell us the year, make and model and whether the car is locked, and we'll give you an offer.

Do I still need the registration if the keys are lost?

Yes. We need to see that the car is yours, so have the registration in your name and your driver's licence. A lost registration can be replaced at a registry agent.

The car is locked and stuck in park. Can you still take it?

Usually, yes. Tell us where it's parked and whether the steering turns, and we'll plan the loading before booking the pickup.

Will no keys lower the price?

It can, a little, because the next owner has to replace the key. For older or scrap cars it often doesn't change the offer. We'll tell you before pickup.

Is towing free for a car without keys?

Yes. The tow is included when you accept our offer, keys or no keys.

We Buy Cars With No Keys Across Calgary

Keys go missing all the time. They get lost in a move, stay with an ex, or never come with a car that sat in a garage for years. Most private buyers won't touch a car they can't start or test drive, and replacing a modern key or fob can cost more than an older car is worth. i-Tow buys cars without keys in Calgary and nearby towns and quotes them as they are.

What we do need is proof that the car is yours. Have the registration in your name and your driver's licence ready. If the registration is lost as well, see how to sell a car with lost registration first.

How we move a car without keys

Without a key, a car may be stuck in park, the steering may be locked or the doors may not open. None of that stops a sale, but it changes how the car is loaded. When you call, tell us:

Whether the car is locked or unlocked
If it's in park, in gear or in neutral
Whether the steering wheel turns
Where it's parked: driveway, garage, back alley or underground parking
Whether the tires hold air

With that, we send a truck that can load the car safely. Please don't force the locks or cut wires to try to move it yourself. Want to know what a tow involves? Read our guide to towing in Calgary.

Will missing keys lower my offer?

Sometimes a little. A buyer who plans to drive or resell the car has to replace and program a new key. For an older or end-of-life car, the missing key often makes little or no difference. We'll tell you before pickup if it affects the price.

No keys and the car doesn't run?

That's common too. See selling a non-running car, or scrap car removal Calgary if the car is at the end of its life.
