Black Diamond and Turner Valley joined to become the Town of Diamond Valley on 1 January 2023, but most people still use the old names, and so do we on this page. Wherever you are in the valley, Calgary Auto Salvage pays $200 to $10,000 cash for a junk vehicle and tows it away free.
Call 403-614-2357 with the details: what it is, how many kilometres, and why it is not going anywhere. We quote on the phone and the quote is firm as long as the vehicle matches the description. Our driver leaves 4035 14th Street SE, takes Highway 2 south to Highway 7 at Okotoks, then west through the foothills into Black Diamond, about 60 kilometres and under an hour. Cash, a bill of sale and a handshake, then the car is gone.
Turner Valley was Alberta’s first major oil field, and the old gas plant still stands beside the Sheep River. There are a lot of long-serving trucks in this valley. We buy them running or not, and we price the heavy ones on what their drivetrain and frame are worth.
Highway 22 brings people in for the scenery and the ranches. It also means acreages up steep gravel lanes and sheds behind treed lots. We winch and load from all of it, and the towing is built into your price.
The town’s Alberta registry agent is Diamond Valley Registries & Licensing at 105-118 Main Street. Take your bill of sale and registration there after the pickup to cancel the registration and stop your insurance.
Black Diamond is a short run past Okotoks on Highway 7, so we often combine the two. That means a pickup within a day or two in most weeks, and evening slots up to 9pm.
Diamond Valley has around 5,300 people split between the two old townsites, which sit at the junction of Highway 22 and Highway 7 with the Sheep River running through. It is a mix of long-time oil and ranching families, people who moved out from Calgary for the foothills, and weekend traffic heading to Kananaskis. The vehicles follow the same pattern: lifted trucks that have been up too many forestry trunk roads, Subarus and Outbacks that have done 300,000 kilometres of commuting, and old service pickups from the patch.
We buy all of it, and we price on parts and steel rather than weight alone. Trucks pay best because frames, axles, transfer cases and cabs hold their value. All-wheel-drive wagons and crossovers with a good engine and a failed transmission also do well. Even a hatchback with a seized motor has a catalytic converter, wheels, a battery and body panels worth something.
Because the amalgamation is still recent, some vehicle registrations in the valley show Black Diamond or Turner Valley as the address while others say Diamond Valley. None of that matters for the sale. What we need is the ownership document and your ID. The registry office will handle the cancellation regardless of which name is on your paperwork.
Calgary Auto Salvage is a working auto salvage yard in southeast Calgary. We buy vehicles for dismantling and recycling, process them at our own site, and do not resell them or broker them to other yards. That direct approach is what allows us to send a tow truck to Diamond Valley for free and still pay $200 to $10,000 for the vehicle. We have collected from Black Diamond and Turner Valley for years and know the roads, the driveways and the winter conditions in the valley.
Registration or ownership documents that say Black Diamond or Turner Valley are still valid. Alberta lets you sell a vehicle with expired registration if you can show ownership, so bring what you have and we will sort out the bill of sale.
Rolled on the gravel of Highway 546? Clipped a deer on Highway 22 at dusk? Collision-damaged vehicles from the foothills roads are a regular part of what we buy. The engine and drivetrain usually survive, and that is where the value is.
Acreages between Black Diamond, Millarville and Longview often have two or three vehicles waiting. We will price the lot, bring a deck truck that carries them all, and give you a separate bill of sale per unit.

Was pleased to have my car sold the same day I called. Super convenient and polite staff.

Great experience, I’d definitely recommend to anyone looking to sell their scrap car.

I had a broken down Hummer H3, Calgary Auto Salvage was quick to remove the car and pay me top dollar.

Either works. The two towns amalgamated into the Town of Diamond Valley on 1 January 2023, but everyone still says Black Diamond and Turner Valley and our drivers know both. Just give us the street address or the range road and we will find you.
Yes. Turner Valley is a few minutes further west on Highway 7 and is part of the same town now. Pickups there are on the same free towing terms and the same price range. We also cover Millarville, Longview and the rural addresses in Foothills County around the valley.
Diamond Valley Registries & Licensing at 105-118 Main Street is the Alberta registry agent in town. Hand them the bill of sale from our driver along with your registration certificate. After it is cancelled, call your insurer to end the policy. You keep the plate.
Usually, yes. Our trucks run with chains and a long winch cable for exactly this kind of lane. If it has iced over badly we may ask to wait for a thaw or a plow, but that is rare. Tell us about the driveway when you book and the driver will come prepared.
It depends on the parts. A quality lift kit, aftermarket wheels and a winch bumper can add value, or you can pull them before we come and sell them separately. Just tell us what will be on the truck when we arrive so the quote is accurate.
About twenty to thirty minutes on site. The driver checks the vehicle against what was described, counts out the cash, fills in the bill of sale with you, and loads the vehicle. If it needs winching from a difficult spot it can run longer, but you do not need to stay for the loading.
