Scrapping a car in High River

High River has its own quirks, from the river to the Cargill shift change. Here is how we handle them.

Down Highway 2 and into town

The run is Deerfoot Trail to Highway 2, south past Okotoks, then off at Highway 543 or 12 Avenue SE depending on where you are. High River’s street layout was rebuilt in places after the 2013 flood, and a few of the newer neighbourhoods on the north and east sides have narrower streets than the old town near the Highwood River. The flatbed manages either, but a car parked in a tight cul-de-sac with vehicles on both sides may need a neighbour to move first. We can also collect from the industrial area along Highway 2A and from acreages out toward Aldersyde and Cayley. Tell us when you call if the vehicle is in a garage, on a lawn or on a lift.

Shift changes at the Cargill plant on Highway 2A can back up traffic on 12 Avenue SE and the highway ramps, so we try to avoid arriving in High River during those windows. If you work at the plant and need a pickup around your shift, tell us and we will time it.

Flood cars, work trucks and the daily commuters

High River has around 14,000 people and a big employer in the Cargill plant, plus a lot of people who drive to Calgary. That gives us a mix: hard-driven commuter cars like Honda Accords and Toyota RAV4s that have passed 300,000 kilometres, trucks from the shops and ranches around town, and every so often a vehicle that was written off in a flood or a hailstorm and never left the property. Water damage does not stop us. A flood car still has its steel, its wheels and often its converter, and we price it on those. Trucks and SUVs are worth the most because they weigh the most.

There is also a steady stream of vehicles from Foothills County acreages between High River and Okotoks: an old F-150 that plowed the lane until the frame gave out, a Suburban that was the kids’ school car, a farm-yard van full of parts. These are exactly what we want. Bring the paperwork and we bring the truck.

Paperwork, plates and the registry on 5 Street SE

There is no provincial scrap-car scheme in Alberta, so we handle the sale with a bill of sale that our driver fills in with you. It records the VIN, the price and both names, and you keep a signed copy. You need to show ownership, ideally the registration certificate, and photo ID; current registration is not required. Before we load, remove the licence plate. Alberta plates belong to the person, so you can put it on your next vehicle or return it. The registry agent in High River is Rangeland Agencies 78 at 102-611 5 Street SE, where you can cancel the old registration in a few minutes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will you take a car that was in the 2013 flood and never fixed?

Yes. If you still have the vehicle and the ownership document, we will buy it. Flood cars are priced on weight and salvageable parts, not on whether the interior survived.

How soon can you get to High River?

Usually the same day or the next. We are in the Okotoks and High River area most days, so a morning call often gets an afternoon pickup.

Can you pick up from the industrial area on Highway 2A?

Yes. Shop lots and yards are easy for the flatbed. If the vehicle belongs to a business, whoever signs the bill of sale needs authority to sell it.

What is the registry called in High River?

Rangeland Agencies 78, at 102-611 5 Street SE. That is where you cancel the registration or transfer your plate after we take the car. Any other Alberta registry agent works as well if you are in Okotoks or Calgary first.

Does a hail-damaged truck get less money?

Not much. Dents do not change the weight or the mechanical parts. A hailed truck with a good engine is still a good truck to us.

Do you charge extra if the car is in a garage?

No. As long as the door opens and the flatbed can back up to it, we winch it out at no charge. Let us know in advance so the driver brings skates if the tires are flat.
