Free CARFAX on every vehicle. Written disclosure on every sale.
About Tru
Why we do it this way
Alberta's used car market has a reputation problem, and it's not undeserved. Consumer advocates have publicly called the province's rules "porous," and Calgary has seen dealers charged with hiding vehicle damage from buyers.
We built Tru Auto Sales to be the boring opposite of that. Every vehicle is mechanically inspected before it's listed, every vehicle comes with a free CARFAX report, and every sale comes with written disclosure — because that's what an AMVIC licence actually obliges us to do.

What an AMVIC licence gets you
Protection a private seller can't offer
Written Disclosure
As an AMVIC-licensed dealer we must give you a Mechanical Fitness Assessment and disclose the vehicle's history in writing. Private sellers and curbsiders owe you neither.
All-In Pricing
Alberta law requires licensed dealers to advertise all-in pricing. The number you see is the number on the paperwork — it can't quietly grow between the ad and the desk.
CARFAX & Inspection
Accident history, service records and past registrations handed to you up front. Every vehicle is also mechanically inspected before we list it — the report shows the past, the inspection shows the present.
We're licensed under AMVIC — the Alberta Motor Vehicle Industry Council — and you can verify that yourself at amvic.org before you ever speak to us. AMVIC investigates complaints against licensed dealers, and licensed dealers pay into a compensation fund. That accountability is the entire reason to buy from a dealer instead of a stranger with a parking lot.
How we pick what we sell
We stock around 48 vehicles at a time. That's deliberate — a smaller lot we actually know beats a huge one nobody can vouch for.
If something has a story in its history, we'd rather tell you on day one than have you find out at resale. Vehicles we don't trust, we don't list. You can see everything currently on the lot on our live inventory page, which updates as cars arrive and sell.
Financing without the theatre
Plenty of Calgary dealers advertise guaranteed approval. We don't, because nobody can honestly guarantee a lender's decision.
What we can tell you is how it actually works: we submit your application to a network of lenders, several of whom specifically work with credit rebuilding, newcomers to Canada, and first-time buyers with no Canadian credit history at all. Applying is free and doesn't affect your credit score. Read the details on our car financing page.
Common questions
Frequently asked
What does AMVIC licensed mean?
AMVIC is Alberta's automotive regulator. Licensed dealers must provide a Mechanical Fitness Assessment, disclose vehicle history in writing, and advertise all-in pricing. AMVIC can investigate complaints against us — which is the point.
How can I check a dealer is legitimate in Alberta?
Look up their licence on amvic.org, insist on a written Mechanical Fitness Assessment, and ask for the CARFAX before you discuss price. A seller who won't provide those is telling you something.
How many vehicles do you keep in stock?
Around 48 at any time, currently ranging from $10,999 to $60,999. We intentionally keep the lot small enough that we know every vehicle on it.
Do I have to buy from you to get an appraisal?
No. We'll value your trade whether or not you buy anything from us.
