Before you decide
Car Won't Start? You Can Still Sell It
Three things Calgary owners ask before selling.
Towing is included
A car that cannot drive still needs to move. When you accept our offer, the tow from your Calgary address is part of the deal.
Only need a tow?An offer for the real condition
Tell us what you know about the fault. An honest description means the amount you are offered is the amount that stands at pickup.
What affects valueWe Buy Cars That Don't Run, Anywhere in Calgary
A car that will not start is one of the hardest vehicles to sell privately. Buyers want a test drive, dealers discount it heavily, and you still have to pay to move it. i-Tow buys non-running vehicles across Calgary and nearby towns, quotes them as they are, and includes the tow when you accept the offer.
You do not need a diagnosis. Tell us the year, make and model, what happened when it stopped working and whether a mechanic has looked at it. If you have a repair estimate, mention it; it helps you compare repairing against selling.
Common problems we buy
- Blown, seized or knocking engine
- Failed or slipping transmission
- Head gasket, overheating or coolant problems
- Electrical faults, no crank or no start
- Cars that have sat through a Calgary winter and will not turn over
- Water or flood damage – see our water-damaged car guide
Repair it or sell it?
If the repair bill is close to or more than what the car will be worth afterwards, selling it as-is usually makes more sense. Ask for a free i-Tow offer first, then decide. There is no obligation to accept.
What to tell us for an accurate offer
- Year, make, model and approximate kilometres
- What is wrong, or what happened when it stopped
- Whether you have the keys and whether it rolls and steers
- Any missing parts, such as wheels, battery or catalytic converter
- Where it is parked: driveway, garage, underground parking or shop lot
How pickup works for a car that won't move
Because the car cannot drive onto a truck, we plan the loading for that vehicle and location. Let us know about tight driveways, locked gates or a parkade so the right equipment is sent. Payment and paperwork are confirmed with you before the car leaves.
Non-Running Car Pickup Across Calgary and Area
We buy non-running cars in NE Calgary, NW Calgary, SE Calgary, SW Calgary, Airdrie, Chestermere, Cochrane, Okotoks and other nearby communities. For end-of-life vehicles see scrap car removal Calgary, or go back to cash for cars Calgary.
Answers before booking
Sell a Non-Running Car in Calgary – FAQs
Can I sell a car with a blown engine in Calgary?
Yes. We buy cars with blown or seized engines as they are. Give us the year, make, model and what happened, and we will make an offer that includes the tow when you accept.
Do I need the keys to sell a non-running car?
Keys help, but tell us if they are lost. Let us know whether the car rolls and steers so we can plan the loading. Missing keys may affect the offer, so mention it up front.
The car does not roll. Can you still take it?
Often, yes. Describe where it is parked and whether the wheels are locked or missing, and we will confirm how it can be loaded before booking the pickup.
Do I pay for towing a non-running car?
No, not when we buy it. Towing is included in an accepted i-Tow offer. A tow for a car you are keeping is quoted separately.
How quickly can a non-running car be picked up?
Call 825-712-6191 to book a time. We schedule pickups 7 days a week during opening hours, Mon–Sat: 7AM–9PM | Sun: 8AM–6PM.
