A sedan with a blown head gasket in a Montrose driveway, a Silverado with a bent frame from a Highway 23 collision, or something that has not started since the last big flood: Calgary Auto Salvage buys it for $200 to $10,000 and picks it up in High River at no charge.
Dial 403-614-2357 and tell us the year, make, model, mileage and what is wrong. We give you a cash price right then. If you accept, we pick a time that suits you. The tow truck leaves 4035 14th Street SE, takes Deerfoot south onto Highway 2 and exits at Highway 23 or 12th Avenue into High River, about 55 kilometres and 45 minutes. The driver pays you, writes a bill of sale, and loads the vehicle.
High River knows water damage better than any town in Alberta. If you still own a vehicle that went through the 2013 flood, or one that took on water in a spring melt since, we buy it. The drivetrain, frame and body still have value, and we will quote it honestly.
High River is on the run we make to Okotoks and Nanton, so the truck is often nearby already. Same-day is common on weekdays, and we book evenings and weekends up to 9pm.
High River’s Alberta registry agent is Rangeland Agencies 78 at 102-611 5th Street SE. Take the bill of sale and your registration there to cancel the registration. Your plate is yours to keep.
Sunshine Lake, Hampton Hills, Emerson Lake, downtown, or the acreages out toward Cayley, Blackie and Aldersyde, the towing is free and the price is the same.
With more than 14,000 people, High River is the seat of Foothills County and home to the Cargill beef plant, the largest employer in the area. That gives the town a broad mix of vehicles: plant workers’ commuter cars, ranch pickups from the surrounding county, and the family SUVs of people who moved down from Calgary for cheaper housing. All of them wear out, and when they do, the nearest salvage yards are back up Highway 2 in Calgary.
We price every High River vehicle on what our yard can recover, not on scrap tonnage alone. A ten-year-old Sierra with a dead transmission but a clean cab and box is worth several times its weight in steel. A Corolla that runs but needs more brake, suspension and exhaust work than it is worth is often a $500 to $1,500 vehicle for us. A rolled Jeep with a working engine is somewhere in between. Give us the details and we will give you a real number.
Flood-related vehicles still turn up in High River more than a decade after 2013, usually when a property changes hands. We buy them as-is with the ownership document. We also collect insurance write-offs where the owner kept the salvage, hail-damaged vehicles from the summer storms that track through the Foothills, and the plain old high-mileage cars that finally quit on the Highway 2 commute.
Calgary Auto Salvage owns and operates the yard at 4035 14th Street SE in Calgary. We are the final destination for the vehicles we buy: they are drained, dismantled and recycled on our site, not flipped to another buyer. Because we recover the value ourselves, our offers to High River sellers run from $200 to $10,000 depending on the vehicle, and we can afford to send the tow truck down Highway 2 at no cost to you.
If your insurer paid out on a High River collision or hail claim and you retained the vehicle, we will buy the salvage. The settlement letter or your ownership document is enough paperwork to sell.
Alberta allows you to sell a vehicle with lapsed registration as long as you can show ownership. Cars that have sat in High River garages since the flood usually fall into this category. That is fine with us.
Foothills County properties often have a collection of retired vehicles. We bring a deck truck, price each unit, and haul them all in one trip. Each vehicle gets its own bill of sale.

Yes. Flood vehicles are still part of what we collect from High River. We need to know whether the water reached the engine and interior, because that affects the price, but it does not stop the sale. Bring the ownership document and we handle the rest.
Often the same day on weekdays. High River is 45 minutes down Highway 2 and sits on the route we run to Okotoks and Nanton. Call in the morning and we can frequently collect by late afternoon. Evening and weekend slots are available until 9pm.
Rangeland Agencies 78 at 102-611 5th Street SE is the Alberta registry agent in High River. Bring the bill of sale our driver leaves with you plus your registration certificate. Once cancelled, you can end your insurance policy and keep your licence plate.
Yes, if you kept the vehicle after the insurance settlement. Frame damage does not matter to a salvage yard. We are interested in the engine, transmission, axles and any panels that survived. Have the ownership document or settlement paperwork ready when you call.
Not usually. Most lots and underground parkades in town have enough clearance for our flatbed, and where they do not we use a wheel-lift truck instead. Tell us where it is parked and whether the parking spot is tight, and we will send the right vehicle.
Our top of range is $10,000, and it is reserved for late-model trucks and SUVs with a lot of usable parts, such as a recent diesel pickup with body damage but a sound drivetrain. Most High River vehicles fall between $300 and $2,000. We will tell you where yours sits after a short call.
