Scrapping a car in Strathmore, start to finish

Here is what a Strathmore pickup looks like, from the highway to the handshake.

Getting to you along Highway 1

Our truck leaves 4102 16a St SE, picks up Stoney Trail and heads east on the Trans-Canada past Chestermere and Langdon. Traffic on that stretch is steady but rarely stops, so 45 minutes is a fair estimate most of the day. Coming into town we turn off at the Wheatland Trail lights or Highway 817 depending on which end of Strathmore you are on. The flatbed is a full-size deck, so it needs a driveway or a street with room to back in. Rural yards in Wheatland County are no problem as long as the approach is graded and not soft from rain. Tell us on the phone if the car is behind a gate, on grass, or missing wheels so we bring the right gear the first time.

One Strathmore-specific point: the Strathmore Stampede in early August and the Heritage Days crowds fill the streets near the rodeo grounds, so if your car is anywhere close to the grounds that weekend we will book around it. The rest of the year the town is easy to move a big truck through.

The vehicles we haul out of Strathmore

Strathmore is home to around 14,000 people, and it has grown as a bedroom community for people working in Calgary while keeping its farm-service roots. That mix shows up in what we buy. From the newer subdivisions we get commuter cars that have hit a repair bill bigger than their value: a Hyundai Elantra with a seized engine, a Chevrolet Equinox with a failed timing chain, a minivan the family outgrew. From the county roads we collect grain trucks, older F-250s and the odd farm truck that has been parked in the treeline for a decade. Weight matters to our price, so a heavy diesel pickup will always be worth more than a small hatchback, but every vehicle is worth something to us.

Because Strathmore sits on the Western Irrigation District canal system, a fair number of farm vehicles here have spent years parked next to ditches and pivots. That means mud, rust and mice, none of which bother us. It also means the occasional irrigation pump truck or water truck, which we are happy to buy.

Signing over the car and stopping the registration

There is no government scrap program in Alberta to walk you through this, so the paperwork is a private sale between you and us. Have the registration or any proof of ownership ready along with your ID. Our driver writes up a bill of sale showing the VIN, the price paid and the date, and you keep the copy. Remove the licence plate before we winch the car on; in Alberta the plate is yours to transfer or return, not something that goes with the vehicle. If you want the registration cancelled, Gold Key Registry at 233 3 Avenue in Strathmore can do it in a few minutes, or any other Alberta registry agent if you are passing one first.

OUR LOCATIONS

Our Strathmore route covers the whole town plus the acreages and farms in Wheatland County around it. We regularly load cars in Langdon, Carseland, Lyalta, Cheadle, Standard and Rockyford on the same trip, and can reach Gleichen or Hussar with a day’s notice.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Strathmore too far from Calgary for a free tow?

No. Fifty kilometres on the Trans-Canada is well inside our normal range and there is no towing charge. The price we quote on the phone is the amount you receive. We treat Strathmore the same as a Calgary suburb for scheduling purposes.

The car is on a farm outside Strathmore with no street address. How do you find it?

Give us the range road and township road or drop a pin from your phone. Our drivers cover Wheatland County often enough to know the grid. A land location works too if that is what you have.

Can you take a grain truck or a one-ton, not just a car?

Yes, and we usually pay more for them because of the weight. Describe the truck, the engine and whether it rolls when we phone, and we will tell you if we need to bring a heavier unit.

What do I do at Gold Key Registry after you take the car?

Take the bill of sale and your plate to Gold Key Registry on 3 Avenue and ask them to cancel the registration or move the plate to another vehicle. It stops any further fees on the car you no longer have.

Do you buy cars in Strathmore that were flooded or fire-damaged?

We do. A burned or water-damaged vehicle still has scrap weight and often a converter and wheels that are fine. Send photos and we will price it honestly rather than guessing.

Will you come out on a weekend in Strathmore?

Yes, our hours are 9am to 9pm seven days. Saturday is a common day for Strathmore pickups because that is when people are home to hand over the keys.
