Pick and Pull Cash for Cars in Edmonton
Self-serve pick and pull yards are a popular place to sell an old car in Edmonton. They buy your car, park it in the yard, and let do-it-yourselfers pull parts off it. It works, but it's not always the best deal for the seller. Before you sell to a yard, get our offer too. We pay for parts value and scrap value, and we come to you.

How Pick and Pull Yards Price Your Car
Most self-serve yards pay mainly on weight and a few key factors: whether the engine and transmission are there, whether the catalytic converter is attached, and the car's model year. That's a fair system for the yard, since its business is selling parts at low, fixed prices. It tends to pay sellers less for cars that are newer or in better shape, because those cars have parts worth more than a fixed price list allows for.
How Our Offer Is Different
We price the specific car.
A 2013 Escape with a bad transmission has an engine, body panels and electronics that are worth real money. We count them.
We consider repair and resale.
If the car can be fixed and sold, it's worth more than parts alone.
Pickup is included.
Many yards will pick up too, but some charge for it or reduce the offer. Ours costs nothing.
No yard visit.
You don't need to drive anywhere or wait in line at a scale.
When a Pick and Pull Yard Might Pay More
We'd rather be straight with you. If your car is very old, very light, stripped of most parts and nothing on it has resale value, the offers will be close. Weight is weight. In that case, pick whoever is more convenient. For anything newer than about 15 years old, a common model with good parts, or a vehicle that runs, it's worth comparing.
What to Ask Any Buyer
Whether you sell to us, a yard or anyone else, ask these before you agree:
Our answers: yes, included, e-transfer before loading, yes, and none.
- Is the quoted price guaranteed if the car matches my description?
- Is towing included, or is it deducted from the price?
- How will I be paid, and when?
- Will I get a bill of sale with the VIN and price on it?
- Are there any environmental or disposal fees?
Parts Value + Scrap Value, Explained
Every car has two kinds of value at the end of its life. Scrap value is what the metal is worth by weight at current prices. Parts value is what usable pieces can be sold for: engine, transmission, alternator, starter, doors, bumpers, lights, mirrors, seats, wheels, the radio and the catalytic converter. For a lot of cars, parts value is higher than scrap value. That's the gap our offers are built to capture for you.
FAQs
Can I pull some parts before I sell?+
You can, but tell us which ones. Often the part is worth more left on the car as part of our offer.
Do you buy cars that a yard rejected?+
Often, yes. Missing paperwork is the usual reason a yard says no. Call us and we'll see what can be done.
Do you sell parts to the public?+
