Red Deer scrap car removal from a Calgary crew that makes the trip

We will be honest: Red Deer is about 150 kilometres up the QEII from our Calgary yard, so it is not a run we make for a single Honda Fit with no engine. We do make it for full-size trucks, SUVs, newer wrecks and multi-vehicle pickups, and we batch Red Deer jobs.

If you have something worth the drive, scrap car removal in Red Deer is free. Call 403-991-7717.

Red Deer pickups: distance, vehicles and paperwork

A 300-kilometre round trip changes how we schedule, so here is how it actually works.

The QEII run and how we schedule it

From southeast Calgary the route is Deerfoot Trail north onto the Queen Elizabeth II Highway, past Airdrie, Crossfield, Innisfail and Penhold, then off at Gasoline Alley or the 32 Street exit depending on where you are. Allow an hour and three-quarters each way. Because of the distance we do not send a truck for one small car; instead we book Red Deer pickups in groups of two or more on the same day, typically two or three times a week. When you call we give you the next scheduled Red Deer date and a morning or afternoon window. The flatbed loads from driveways, back alleys, Edgar Industrial Park and farm properties in Red Deer County.

What is worth a 300-kilometre round trip

Red Deer is Alberta’s third-largest city at around 100,000 people, with a heavy oilfield-services and agricultural base, which is exactly why it is worth the drive for us. The vehicles we most often collect here are three-quarter-ton and one-ton service trucks with dead diesels, crew-cab F-350s and Ram 2500s retired from a lease fleet, and larger SUVs like Tahoes and Expeditions. Those weigh three tonnes and carry parts with strong resale, so the offer covers the fuel and then some. We also take newer accident-damaged vehicles the insurer let the owner keep, and the multi-vehicle cleanouts that come with selling an acreage near Blackfalds or Sylvan Lake and moving to town.

Bill of sale, plates and Red Deer Registries

When the truck arrives, have your ownership document ready: the Alberta registration certificate, even an expired one, or the out-of-province title if the vehicle came from Saskatchewan or BC. We complete a bill of sale with the VIN, your name, our company name and the amount paid, and you keep the copy. Take the licence plate off before loading. Alberta plates belong to the registered owner and go with you to the next vehicle. Once the car is gone, visit any Alberta registry agent to cancel the registration; Red Deer Registries is one of several in the city and handles plate cancellations at the counter. Company sellers should bring a letter on letterhead.

OUR LOCATIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you really drive up from Calgary to Red Deer?

Yes. We schedule Red Deer runs two or three times a week and group the pickups so the trip pays for itself. It is a 300-kilometre round trip on the QEII, which is why we are selective about what we collect there.

Is there a minimum value for a Red Deer pickup?

In practice, yes. We need the vehicle to be worth the fuel and the driver’s day, which usually means a full-size truck, a large SUV, a newer damaged vehicle or two or more vehicles at one address. Otherwise we suggest a local buyer.

Can you collect several vehicles from one property in Red Deer County?

That is our favourite kind of Red Deer job. Acreage cleanouts with three or four dead vehicles, a couple of trucks and an old motorhome are exactly what makes the drive worthwhile. We send two trucks and price the lot together.

How long will I wait for a Red Deer pickup date?

Usually two to four days, sometimes sooner if a run is already booked. We give you the actual date when you call and a morning or afternoon window. On the day, the driver phones from Innisfail, about 25 minutes out.

My oilfield service truck has sat since the last downturn. Is it worth anything?

Almost certainly, and more than a passenger car. Three-quarter-ton and one-ton diesels are heavy and their engines, transmissions and axles have buyers even when they do not run. Tell us the year, engine (Power Stroke, Duramax, Cummins) and frame condition.

Can you cancel my registration at Red Deer Registries for me?

No, that has to be done by the registered owner. Take the bill of sale we give you and your plate to Red Deer Registries or any other Alberta registry agent and they will cancel it in a few minutes at the counter.
