Following our 3-step process is the quickest and easiest way to get rid of your scrap cars or unwanted vehicles.
Chestermere is the shortest run we make outside Calgary. Our yard at 4525 6a St NE is 20 kilometres away: east on 16 Avenue, which becomes the Trans-Canada Highway, then south to Chestermere Boulevard. The 17 Avenue SE route works just as well. Either way it is about 22 minutes, so cash for junk cars in Chestermere is often the fastest pickup we do all day.
The city has grown to more than 22,000 people around Chestermere Lake, and its western boundary is only 1.6 kilometres from Calgary’s eastern limit. Most of the cars we buy there are commuter vehicles from Rainbow Falls, Kinniburgh, Westmere and the older lakeside streets: minivans that hauled kids to the lake for a decade, and sedans that got hailed out on the Trans-Canada. Call 403-390-0585 for a cash for cars Chestermere quote.
Because Chestermere is so close, we treat it like a Calgary neighbourhood for scheduling. A call in the morning almost always gets a truck by the afternoon, and evening calls are picked up the next morning. Our drivers come off the Trans-Canada or 17 Avenue SE and are usually at your driveway within half an hour of leaving the yard. If you need the car gone before a move, a landlord inspection or a lake-season party, tell us the deadline and we will work to it. Street parking near the lake gets tight in July, so an early call helps.
Two things kill cars in Chestermere. The first is hail: the storms that track along the Trans-Canada east of Calgary have written off whole parking lots of otherwise good vehicles. The second is the lake itself; boats trailered in and out of Chestermere Lake all summer and irrigation water from the Western Irrigation District canals mean more moisture and more rust on frames and rocker panels. Hail-damaged cars with sound mechanicals pay well because every part under the dented panels still sells. Rusted frames pay by weight, and we tell you which category yours falls into on the phone.
Our driver pays cash and gives you a signed bill of sale at pickup. Keep the plate, because Alberta plates belong to the owner, not the car. Take the plate and the bill of sale to Chestermere Lake Registry Services on Marina Drive to cancel the registration; that is all it takes to end your responsibility for the vehicle. There is no provincial scrap program in Alberta and no other form to fill out. If your registration expired long ago, the old certificate or your original bill of sale still proves ownership.
Chestermere has more boat-tow vehicles per street than almost anywhere else near Calgary. Tahoes, Expeditions and Sequoias with worn transmissions from years of pulling to the launch are a regular purchase for us, and their drivetrains and axles resell well. Minivans from the school-run years and pickups from the acreages off Range Road 282 fill out the rest of what we tow. Larger vehicles reach higher in our $100 to $10,000 range simply because they weigh more and carry more parts. If the hitch and tow package are still on the truck, mention it; those sell too.
About 22 minutes from our yard on 6A Street NE, taking 16 Avenue to the Trans-Canada and then Chestermere Boulevard. Morning calls are usually picked up the same afternoon. We work 24 hours, so evening and weekend calls are booked for the next available truck.
Yes, and often more than you expect. Hail ruins panels and glass but leaves the engine, transmission, suspension and electronics intact. Those parts resell. If your insurer wrote it off and you kept it, or you had no comprehensive coverage, call us with the details.
Yes. Our flatbeds carry a winch and can reach a vehicle sitting on gravel or grass near the lake. Let us know if the tires are flat or the car is boxed in by a boat trailer so the driver brings the right gear.
We buy vehicles primarily, but we will take a trailer along with a car or truck if it has a registration or bill of sale in your name. Trailer-only pickups depend on size and condition. Ask when you call and we will tell you straight.
Chestermere Lake Registry Services at 402-100 Marina Drive. Take your plate and the bill of sale from our driver. Cancelling is quick, and it lets you cancel or move the insurance without paying for a vehicle you no longer have.
Yes. Langdon is a short drive down Highway 797 from Chestermere and fits the same run. The price does not change for the extra few kilometres. Give us the address and whether the vehicle is in a driveway, a shop or a field.
