Sundre scrap car pickup - yes, we really drive out from Calgary

Sundre is the furthest west we go on a regular basis. It is roughly 130 kilometres from our southeast Calgary yard, up the QEII to Olds and then west along Highway 27 to where it meets the Cowboy Trail. We make that trip because the trucks and work vehicles coming out of Sundre are worth the drive.

We book Sundre pickups for a set day rather than a same-day promise, and the tow is free no matter what. If you have a dead pickup, a retired service truck or a car that will not pass another winter, phone 403-991-7717 between 9am and 9pm and we will get you on the schedule.

TESTIMONIALS

Honest answers for Sundre before you call

A long-distance pickup has a few wrinkles, so here is what we tell everyone in the Sundre area.

How we schedule the 130-kilometre run

Because Sundre is close to two hours each way, we group pickups so the truck is not driving out for a single small car. Most weeks we have a run through Mountain View County that takes in Olds, Didsbury and Carstairs, and Sundre gets folded into that. When you phone, we give you a date and a morning or afternoon window rather than a two-hour slot. If your vehicle is out toward Bergen, James River Bridge or up the Coal Camp Road, mention it so the driver can plan the loop. Winter road conditions on Highway 27 and Highway 22 can push a booking back a day; we will always call rather than leave you waiting.

If you are on the far side of the Red Deer River or up toward the Ya Ha Tinda road, be honest with us about the last stretch. A flatbed is long and low, and a washboard forestry road with a hairpin is not something we can promise to get down. In that case we sometimes ask if the vehicle can be dragged to the nearest good road first.

Work trucks, bush rigs and what they are worth

Sundre is a town of about 2,700 people with a lot of oil and gas service work and forestry around it, so the vehicles we see here are heavier than in the city. A three-quarter-ton service truck with a blown motor, a crew cab that rolled on a lease road, a welding rig with a cracked frame; these carry real weight and parts value. That is why our Sundre offers are often higher than what a person expects for a scrap vehicle. We also take the ordinary cars, quads on a trailer are not our thing, but a family SUV that died on the way to Calgary is a routine load. Diesel engines, aluminum wheels and intact catalytic converters all push the price up.

We also get called for older motorhomes and camper vans around Sundre because of the campground traffic. Those are a different job; if you have one, phone and describe it and we will tell you straight whether we can take it and what it is worth.

Paperwork with Sundre Registries down the street

You do not need current registration to sell us a vehicle, only proof that it is yours. Bring the registration certificate or ownership document and your ID when the driver arrives. We complete a bill of sale together and both of us keep a copy; that is your record that the truck changed hands on that day. Pull the plate off first, since Alberta plates belong to the registered owner and can go onto your next vehicle. Sundre Registries at 406 Main Avenue W can cancel the registration when you are next in town, and it takes only a few minutes at the counter.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you actually come all the way to Sundre or send a local tow?

It is our own flatbed and our own driver from Calgary. We do not subcontract Sundre to another company, so the person who quoted you is the company that pays you.

Is there a minimum value for a Sundre pickup?

We do not publish a hard minimum, but for a long trip we may ask to combine your vehicle with others in the area. If you have two vehicles to move, or a neighbour does, tell us and we can usually book sooner.

My truck is on a lease road west of Sundre. Can you get it?

Usually, if a flatbed can physically reach it and the ground is firm. Send us the location and a couple of photos. Muddy spring access is the main thing that delays a bush pickup.

How long does a Sundre booking take to come around?

Typically within the week. We run through Mountain View County regularly, and Sundre is added to that route. In a busy stretch it can be a few days longer; we tell you the date when you call.

Can I sell a vehicle registered to a company or a farm?

Yes, as long as the person signing has authority to sell it. Bring the ownership document and ID and we note the company name on the bill of sale.

Will you pay cash on the spot even this far from Calgary?

Yes. The driver hands over the money when the vehicle is loaded, the same as we do in the city. No cheques mailed later, no waiting for a transfer.
