Okotoks pickups: the route, the vehicles, the paperwork

What an Okotoks job looks like from our end, so there are no surprises.

How we get to you and what the tow truck needs

Our trucks leave 4102 16a St SE in Calgary, run south on Deerfoot Trail, then follow Highway 2 and Highway 2A into Okotoks. Plan on roughly 40 minutes. Okotoks has a lot of hillside streets and steep driveways, particularly in Crystal Ridge, Sheep River Ridge and Westridge, so if your car is parked nose-down on a slope let us know and we will position the flatbed differently or bring the wheel-lift. Rural properties along Highway 7 toward Diamond Valley and Highway 549 are no problem, but a long gravel driveway in spring mud can stop a loaded truck, so drag the car to firm ground first. We do not need keys or a battery.

What ends up on our truck in Okotoks

Okotoks is a town of about 30,000 and a large share of its working households commute north each day, so the typical scrap here is a commuter car that finally quit: Mazda3s, Corollas and Elantras with 250,000 kilometres on the clock and a repair bill higher than the car is worth. The second big category is the extra vehicle on a Foothills County acreage, an old GMC Sierra, a Jeep that was the kids’ first vehicle, a farm truck retired years ago and slowly sinking into the yard. Because the town is close to the mountains we also see plenty of Subaru Outbacks and Foresters with head-gasket failures, and every one of them has parts with buyers.

Paperwork, Ardiel Agencies and your plate

Selling a scrap car in Alberta is a private sale. We are not a dealership and do not need to be; what matters is that you hold the ownership document and we give you a bill of sale showing the VIN, the date and the price. That paper protects you if anything happens with the car afterward. Remove your plate before we load it; in Alberta the plate belongs to you and transfers to your next vehicle. Take the bill of sale to a registry agent to cancel or transfer the registration. In Okotoks that is Ardiel Agencies, the authorized Alberta Registries agent on McRae Street downtown. Expired registration does not stop the sale.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you charge extra to come out to an acreage near Okotoks?

No. Rural addresses in Foothills County within about 15 kilometres of Okotoks are quoted the same way as an in-town pickup. Give us the range road or nearest highway junction when you call. We only flag a soft or flooded driveway.

The car has sat in the yard for years and the registration lapsed. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Lapsed registration is normal for a scrap car. What we need is the registration certificate or another ownership document with your name and the VIN on it. If it is lost, a registry agent can print a replacement first.

Can you take a Subaru with a blown head gasket?

Yes, and they are worth more than you might think. Subarus are common around Okotoks and the engines, all-wheel-drive components and body panels sell as used parts. Tell us the year and trim and we winch it on without starting it.

Will you buy a car I inherited from a parent in Okotoks?

Yes. Estate vehicles are a regular pickup for us. You need something showing you can sell it, typically the will or grant of probate naming you as executor, plus the old registration. We write the bill of sale to the estate.

Do you pick up in Okotoks on weekends?

Yes, seven days a week between 9am and 9pm. Saturday mornings are our busiest time for Okotoks and Foothills County jobs because that is when people are home. For a weekend slot, book a day or two ahead and we hold it.

What if the car is on the street and the town has tagged it?

Call us right away. Okotoks bylaw officers tag unregistered or abandoned vehicles on public roads and eventually have them towed at the owner’s cost. If you hold the ownership we can usually get there first and pay you for it.
