A quick note on the name: Black Diamond and Turner Valley joined together on 1 January 2023 to become the Town of Diamond Valley. People still say Black Diamond, so this page keeps the name, but we cover both halves of the town and the foothills around them.
We are about 55 kilometres from Black Diamond, out Highway 22X and down the Cowboy Trail, or via Okotoks and Highway 7. The tow is free, we pay cash up to $10,000 when the vehicle is on the truck, and you hold on to your plate. Call 403-991-7717 from 9am to 9pm.

Diamond Valley is hilly, small and close to the mountains. That changes a few things about how we work here.
From our yard we either take Highway 22X west to the Cowboy Trail and turn south, or run Highway 2 to Okotoks and come west on Highway 7. Both land us in Black Diamond in about an hour. The town straddles the Sheep River, and some properties on the river side sit on steep or narrow driveways. A flatbed can handle a slope if there is room to line up straight; what it cannot do is turn a tight corner on gravel with a dead car on the winch. If your vehicle is down a sloped drive, on a cul-de-sac, or behind the house on an acreage toward Millarville, say so on the phone and we will plan the approach. Snow and spring runoff both change what is reachable.
In practice the Okotoks route is our default because we are usually there already, and Highway 7 between Okotoks and Black Diamond is a straightforward drive with a flatbed. The Highway 22X route is prettier but adds a few minutes of two-lane road through the foothills.
Black Diamond was a coal and oil town, and Turner Valley had Canada’s first major oil field; today the combined town is about 5,300 people, many of whom drive to Okotoks or Calgary for work. What we buy reflects that: older Subaru Outbacks and Ford Escapes that have done too many kilometres on Highway 22, half-ton trucks from acreages, and the occasional retired ranch vehicle from the foothills. Trucks and SUVs bring more money than small cars because of weight. If the vehicle still has its catalytic converter, its wheels and an intact engine, the price goes up again. Hail and deer strikes are the two most common reasons a car here ends up with us before its time.
We also see a surprising number of vehicles from the old Turner Valley oil days: work trucks, a few service vans and the odd vintage car that someone meant to restore and never did. A project car that has become a driveway ornament is still a sale to us, and we would rather you get money for it than let it sink into the lawn for another decade.
To sell us a vehicle you need to show it is yours. The registration certificate is best, even if it expired years ago; Alberta does not require current registration for a private sale of a scrap vehicle. Our driver completes a bill of sale with you on site, recording the VIN, the amount paid and both names, and leaves you a copy. Remove the licence plate before loading, since Alberta plates go with the owner rather than the car. Diamond Valley Registries & Licensing at 105-118 Main Street is the local registry agent and can cancel the registration or transfer the plate. Since the amalgamation, the registry serves both the Black Diamond and Turner Valley sides of town.
We pay cash for cars and trucks of all shapes and sizes. We recycle rusty, damaged vehicles in any condition:
Cars 
Sedans 
SUVs 
Pickup Trucks 
Minivans 
Write-offs 
Broken Vehicles 
Vehicles with Flat Tires 
Rusty Vehicles 
Vehicles with Accident Damage 
Unfinished Vehicle Projects We pick up across Diamond Valley, meaning both Black Diamond and Turner Valley, and from the foothills acreages around Millarville, Priddis, Longview and along Highway 22 and Highway 7 toward Okotoks.
Officially it is the Town of Diamond Valley since 2023. For our purposes it makes no difference; give us the street address or a pin and we will find you.
Usually yes, if the flatbed can line up straight with the vehicle and the surface is not ice. Send a photo of the driveway and we will tell you honestly before we book.
Generally yes. An SUV or truck weighs more and has parts in demand, so it earns a higher offer than a small sedan in the same condition.
Diamond Valley Registries & Licensing on Main Street is right in town. Bring your plate and the bill of sale we give you.
Yes, provided you kept the vehicle and the ownership document. Insurance settlements do not stop you selling what is left, and front-end damage barely changes a scrap offer.
Often within a day or two. We are in the Okotoks and High River area regularly and Black Diamond is a short leg west from there. Call before noon for the best chance of a same-day slot.
