Chestermere is the shortest trip we make outside Calgary. Our salvage yard is 20 minutes west along 17 Avenue SE, so a junk car in Rainbow Falls, Westmere or Kinniburgh can be gone within hours of your call. Calgary Auto Salvage pays $200 to $10,000 cash, with no towing fee.
Call 403-614-2357 with the vehicle details and we quote on the spot. The driver leaves our yard at 4035 14th St SE, takes Glenmore Trail east, picks up Stoney Trail or 17 Avenue SE and follows Chestermere Boulevard into the city. It is roughly 25 kilometres and 20 to 25 minutes. He confirms the car, pays cash, writes the bill of sale and loads it. Take your licence plate off first.
Chestermere is so close to the yard that we can often fit it in between Calgary pickups. Call in the morning and the car is usually gone before lunch, or booked for an evening slot up to 9pm.
Chestermere Lake means boats, and boats mean trailers and tow vehicles. We buy dead tow trucks and SUVs, and we will price a rusted-out boat trailer or a seized jet ski trailer as well.
Once you have the bill of sale, Chestermere Lake Registry in town can cancel the registration and you can drop insurance the same day. Your plate stays with you.
Chestermere’s housing is mostly newer, and so are its cars. A four-year-old SUV written off in a Highway 1 collision or a summer hailstorm carries high parts value, which is where our offers climb toward $10,000.
Chestermere became a city in 2015 and had 22,163 residents at the 2021 census. It grew up around a reservoir the Canadian Pacific Railway built in the 1880s, still operated by the Western Irrigation District, and it remains a lake town of newer suburbs with a lot of two-vehicle households. We see modern family SUVs, crossovers and half-ton trucks from Chestermere far more than beaters. That is good news for sellers: late-model wrecks are worth the most to a salvage yard.
Being 20 minutes out on 17 Avenue SE changes how we work Chestermere. There is no route planning or batching. The driver can go out for a single vehicle, come back, and go again. The Trans-Canada Highway on the north side of the city sees a steady stream of collisions, and insurance write-offs from those are a big share of what we collect. Hail is the other one; the storm tracks that cross northeast Calgary most summers carry straight on over Chestermere, and some of those write-offs are still sitting in driveways.
Every quarter of the city is covered: Westmere, Rainbow Falls and The Cove on the west side, Kinniburgh across the lake, and the older lakeside streets along the east shore. The Rocky View County acreages between Chestermere and Langdon are inside the free pickup zone too.
Calgary Auto Salvage operates its own recycling yard in southeast Calgary, and Chestermere is close enough that a vehicle picked up in the morning is being dismantled by afternoon. Late-model Chestermere vehicles yield the parts our garage customers ask for most – airbags modules, sensors, headlight assemblies, transmissions and clean doors. Those are removed, tested and shelved. Fluids are drained into sealed tanks and sent to licensed processors, and the remaining body goes through the crusher for steel recycling. Short drive plus high parts yield is why Chestermere sellers tend to see offers at the upper end of our range.
If your insurer settled and let you keep the vehicle, bring the settlement letter and the registration. We buy salvage-branded vehicles every week and can quote from photos before the driver leaves the yard.
Chestermere’s newer neighbourhoods have narrow crescents and short driveways. Our flatbed is used to it. If the car is boxed in, tell us and we will send the driver with dollies and a longer winch cable.
Vehicles that sat in a flooded garage or got water over the sills during a lake-level event are usually written off. We buy those. The engine and mechanical parts are often fine once dried out, so do not assume it is worth only scrap.

Almost always. Chestermere is our closest out-of-city stop, about 20 to 25 minutes from the yard along 17 Avenue SE. If you call before mid-afternoon we can usually pick up the same day, and we run until 9pm every day of the week including weekends.
Yes. Trans-Canada collisions are a regular source of Chestermere vehicles for us. Once the insurer has settled and released the vehicle to you, call us with the registration and settlement letter. Late-model collision write-offs are usually our highest-value purchases, because the undamaged half of the car is full of parts that are still in demand.
We will. Trailers are priced separately, mostly on the axle, frame and tires. If it is a registered trailer bring its registration; if it is a homemade unit with no paperwork, tell us and we will explain what is needed. The driver can load a trailer behind the flatbed on the same trip.
Chestermere Lake Registry is the local Alberta registry agent. Bring the bill of sale our driver gives you and the registration certificate. Cancelling the registration lets you cancel the insurance. Your licence plate is yours to keep or transfer to another vehicle.
Call us with the shop’s name and address. We can collect directly from the shop, pay you, and settle any storage fee with the shop out of the sale price if you ask us to. You need to authorise the release in writing, which most shops handle with a signed form.
Yes. Langdon, Conrich and the Rocky View County acreages along Highway 1 and Glenmore Trail east are inside the same free pickup area as Chestermere. Give the driver a gate number or legal land description and a contact who will be there when he arrives.
