Carstairs is the first stop on our run north into Mountain View County, close enough that we can often fit it in the same day. Our flatbed comes up the QEII from southeast Calgary, exits at Highway 580, loads your vehicle and pays you cash up to $10,000 on the spot. The licence plate stays with you.
Call 403-991-7717 between 9am and 9pm with the make, model and rough condition. We quote on the phone and the number does not change at the door unless the vehicle is not what was described.
Junk car removal in Carstairs has never been this simple! Following our 3-step process is the quickest and easiest way to get rid of your scrap cars or unwanted vehicles in return for top dollar instant cash.
Carstairs is a straightforward run for us. Here is what to expect.
Our yard is at 4102 16a St SE in Calgary. From there it is Deerfoot Trail to the QEII, north past Airdrie and Crossfield, and off at the Highway 580 exit into Carstairs. Door to door is around 55 minutes. Carstairs has grown a lot in recent years and the newer subdivisions on the east side have standard front driveways that suit the flatbed. The older streets near the downtown have back lanes, which also work as long as the lane is not blocked. Acreages between Carstairs and Crossfield, or out toward Highway 2A, are on gravel and we take those regularly. The one thing that slows us down is a vehicle boxed in by other cars or equipment, so leave a clear line to it if you can.
Carstairs also has a sizeable industrial area on the east side of the highway and a few hobby farms with older equipment. Both are common pickup spots. If the vehicle is on a business lot, make sure whoever meets the driver can sign for it.
Carstairs has close to 5,000 people now and a lot of them commute to Airdrie or Calgary every day. That commute is hard on vehicles, and we see the results: a Ford Focus with a failed transmission, a Kia Sorento with an engine that started knocking, a Ram 1500 that rusted from underneath. From the farms around town we get the heavier stuff, including three-quarter-ton trucks and the occasional grain truck. Weight drives our pricing, so a pickup or SUV will be worth more than a compact car. Vehicles with a working catalytic converter, alloy wheels and an intact engine earn the top of the range.
Trailers and quads are not what we do, but if a truck you are scrapping has a toolbox, a headache rack or a canopy still on it, leave them; they add weight and sometimes parts value. If you want to keep any of that gear, take it off before we arrive and let us know so the price reflects what is left.
Alberta does not have a provincial scrap car scheme, so the sale is between you and us. Have your ownership document ready, along with photo ID. It does not matter if the registration has lapsed; you can sell a vehicle without current registration as long as you can show you own it. We fill in a bill of sale together listing the VIN and price, and you keep a signed copy. Remove the plate first, because in Alberta the plate belongs to you and not to the car. Carstairs Registries at 207 10 Avenue can cancel the registration or move the plate to your next vehicle when you are ready.
People sometimes ask whether they can hand the plate to the driver to return. We do not take plates; in Alberta the plate is the owner’s responsibility, and the registry can tell you whether to keep it for another vehicle or return it.
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 collect throughout Carstairs and from the farms and acreages around it, including Crossfield, Cremona, Madden and the properties along Highway 2A and Highway 580. Didsbury and Olds are on the same northbound route.
Often, if you call in the morning. Carstairs is under an hour from our yard and we are in the area frequently. Afternoon calls usually get the next day.
None. Gravel approaches are normal for us. Give us the range road and township road, and let us know if the car is behind a gate or in a field.
We still buy it. A missing converter lowers the offer because that part has real value, but the rest of the vehicle is still worth money for its steel and other components.
No. Leave the vehicle as it is. We handle fluids, batteries and tires at our end. If you want to keep the battery or a set of tires, take them off before we arrive and let us know.
Take the bill of sale and your plate to Carstairs Registries on 10 Avenue. Any Alberta registry agent can do it, but that one is closest.
Yes. Vehicles that cannot pass inspection are a common pickup for us. You still own it, so you can still sell it, and we do not need it to be roadworthy.
