Olds sits about 100 kilometres up the QEII from our Calgary yard, and it is the anchor of our Mountain View County route. A dead car in an Olds driveway or a worn-out truck on a farm off Highway 27 gets picked up free on a flatbed, and you are paid cash up to $10,000 when it is loaded.
We are usually in Olds at least once a week. Call 403-991-7717 between 9am and 9pm, describe the vehicle, and we will give you a price and a pickup day on the same call.
Junk car removal in Olds 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.
Olds is far enough from Calgary that people want to know how the logistics work, so here they are.
Our driver takes Deerfoot Trail to the Queen Elizabeth II Highway and stays on it past Airdrie, Carstairs and Didsbury to the Highway 27 interchange, then heads west into Olds. Outside of holiday weekends that is about 75 minutes. We plan the day so the Olds stop is not rushed, because a good number of the vehicles here are on acreages or farm yards where the approach needs a look before we back in. In town, the older residential streets have back lanes and the newer areas have front driveways; both work for the flatbed. We do ask that the vehicle not be buried behind a fence line or a snowbank when we arrive, as the winch needs a clear pull.
Olds is also where the run splits: from the Highway 27 interchange the truck can go west to Sundre or north to Bowden and Innisfail. If you know a neighbour or a relative in one of those directions with a vehicle to move, tell us when you book and we can plan the whole day around it.
With roughly 9,000 people, Olds College and a large agricultural service sector around it, Olds gives us two kinds of vehicles. The first is the farm truck: a half-ton or three-quarter-ton that has done its years on gravel, a grain truck with a tired engine, or a service truck from one of the shops along the highway. Those are heavy and we pay accordingly. The second is the student or commuter car: a Mazda 3 that blew a head gasket, a Jeep with a rusted-out unibody, a hatchback that was cheap when it was bought and cheaper now. We take both. The offer depends on weight, whether the engine and transmission are intact, and what parts we can recover, not on how it looks.
One thing that comes up in Olds more than most towns is the vehicle that belongs to a student who has moved on, left with a landlord or a relative. We can buy that vehicle, but the registered owner has to sign or give written permission; a text message with a photo of their ID has worked before. Call and we will explain what is enough.
Alberta leaves scrap vehicle sales to the buyer and seller; there is no provincial program or form. What you need is proof of ownership, normally the registration certificate, and photo ID. Our driver fills in a bill of sale listing the vehicle, VIN, price and date, and both parties sign. Keep your copy somewhere safe. Take the licence plate off before we load, because in Alberta the plate stays with you and can be transferred to another vehicle. To formally cancel the registration, Olds Registries at 6-5219 50 Avenue handles it over the counter, or use whichever Alberta registry agent is convenient.
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 Around Olds we collect from the town itself and from the farms and acreages between the QEII and Highway 22, including Bowden to the north, Sundre to the west along Highway 27, and Didsbury and Carstairs to the south. Torrington and Trochu can be added when we have a load heading that way.
Most weeks we make at least one trip up the QEII that stops in Olds. When you call we tell you the next scheduled day; if you need it sooner we will try, but a set day is the normal arrangement.
Yes. A grain truck is mostly steel and steel is what we are buying. Tell us the make, the approximate year, whether it has a box on it and whether the tires hold air. We may bring a heavier tow unit for it.
The registered owner needs to sign the bill of sale, or you need something in writing from them giving you permission to sell. Bring the ownership document either way and we will sort it out.
No. Farm yards and acreages in Mountain View County are the majority of our pickups here. Give us the range road and township road or a pin and we will find it.
Cash, handed to you when the vehicle is on the deck. That is how we have always done it and it means you are not waiting on anything after the truck leaves.
Olds Registries on 50 Avenue is the registry agent in town. Take your plate and the bill of sale and ask them to cancel or transfer the registration.
