Cars with Engine or Transmission Issues

Engine and transmission problems are some of the most expensive repairs a vehicle can need. If your car has a knocking or seized engine, is overheating, slipping gears, won’t shift, is leaking fluid or won’t start at all, the repair can cost more than the car is worth. Instead of paying for it, you can sell the car to ScrapCar.ca as it is.

We buy cars, trucks, SUVs and vans with engine, transmission and other mechanical issues, whether the vehicle still drives or not. You don’t need to fix anything before selling.

Signs it may be time to sell

• Engine knocking, smoking, overheating or not starting
• Slipping, grinding or delayed shifting
• A warning light, or the car going into limp mode
• A burning smell or fluid leaking under the car
• A repair quote that’s higher than the car’s value

How selling a car with mechanical issues works

1. Tell us about it. Call or text (403) 522-9739, or fill out our quote form with the year, make, model and what’s wrong.
2. Get a cash offer based on the vehicle’s condition.
3. Book pickup. Towing is free in Calgary and surrounding areas, so the car doesn’t need to be drivable.
4. Get paid on the spot once the paperwork is signed.

Have your photo ID and the vehicle’s registration ready, and remove your plates and personal items before pickup.
