If a vehicle in Didsbury has reached the point where the next repair costs more than the car, Calgary Auto Salvage will buy it for $200 to $10,000 and send a tow truck up from Calgary at no charge. In town, on an acreage, or in a Mountain View County farmyard, the terms are the same.
Phone 403-614-2357. We ask about the year, make, model, kilometres and what is wrong, then quote you a cash price on the spot. Say yes and we book a pickup window. The driver comes north from 4035 14th Street SE on the QEII, takes the Highway 582 exit and heads west into Didsbury, about 90 kilometres and roughly 70 minutes. The driver pays cash, completes the bill of sale with you and loads the vehicle.
Didsbury’s brick main street dates to the early 1900s, but a big part of the town now commutes to Calgary or Red Deer on Highway 2. Those commuter cars hit 300,000 kilometres fast, and when they quit we pay for the parts that remain.
Didsbury sits between Carstairs and Olds on the QEII, and we run all three together. Expect a pickup within a couple of days of your call, sometimes faster if the truck is already north.
After the sale, take the bill of sale and your registration to Didsbury Registries at 2004 20th Street. They cancel the registration on the spot so you can stop paying insurance. The plate stays with you.
Vehicles on Mountain View County land off Highway 582 or Highway 2A are inside our free towing area. Snow, mud and long lanes are routine. Just tell us where it sits and how to get to it.
Didsbury has a little over 5,000 residents, a hospital, a busy agricultural service sector and a Rosebud River valley full of acreages. The mix of vehicles is broad. From town we see commuter sedans and crossovers, minivans that have carried a family for fifteen years, and the occasional half-ton that has been demoted to hauling garbage to the transfer station. From the county we see the real farm trucks, the grain haulers and the retired one-tons with a bale deck.
Price follows what the vehicle still contains. A running commuter car with a failed emissions system or a $4,000 timing chain quote is often worth more than $1,000 to us because the engine and transmission are still sellable. A farm pickup with a dead engine but a straight frame and box carries steel weight plus parts value. A small hatchback with a seized motor and rust in the rockers is closer to the $200 floor. We will tell you which category yours is in on the phone.
Didsbury sits on Highway 2A as well as the QEII, so the driver can come up either way and reach acreages on both sides of town without backtracking. We pick up at homes, businesses, the hospital lot, storage yards and rural addresses. If you are selling for a relative or clearing an estate, we can deal with whoever holds the ownership paperwork and signs the bill of sale.
Calgary Auto Salvage is a salvage yard in southeast Calgary that buys whole vehicles for recycling. Vehicles from Didsbury are towed to our site at 4035 14th Street SE, inventoried, drained of fluids, stripped of usable components and then crushed for steel. We do not act as a middleman for another yard. That is why our range is $200 to $10,000 and why towing from Didsbury costs you nothing.
Settling an estate in Didsbury often means a car that has sat in the garage for a year or more. The executor or a family member holding the ownership paperwork can sell it. Call and we will explain what documents to bring.
You do not need current registration to sell a vehicle in Alberta, only proof of ownership. If the paper is lost, Didsbury Registries can print a replacement before we arrive.
Retired farm one-tons with a bale deck or flatbed still weigh a lot and still have valuable running gear. We buy them with the deck on, and we will price the whole unit rather than just the cab and chassis.

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.

About 90 kilometres by the QEII, or a bit more by Highway 2A. The distance does not change the offer. We quote a single cash figure that includes the tow, and that figure is what you receive when the driver arrives.
Yes. We collect from hospital parking, shop lots, storage yards and apartment lots as long as the owner of the vehicle is there to sign or has arranged for the paperwork to be left with someone. Tell us if the lot has restricted hours so we can schedule inside them.
Didsbury Registries at 2004 20th Street. Show them the bill of sale from our driver together with your registration certificate. Cancelling registration takes a few minutes. Your licence plate is yours to keep, so remove it from the vehicle before we load it.
Yes. A running engine and a clean body make a minivan a good salvage buy even with a failed transmission. Vans like that typically land between $400 and $1,200 depending on the model and year. Describe the vehicle and we will tell you.
We do. Mountain View County acreages and farms around Didsbury, Westcott and Bergen are inside our free pickup area. Give us the land location or the range road and township road, and tell us if the vehicle is in a field or a shed so the driver brings the right equipment.
Yes. A missing or cut converter lowers the price because it is one of the higher-value parts, but the vehicle is still worth buying. Tell us up front so the quote reflects it rather than being adjusted when the driver arrives.
