A dead car in Okotoks does not have to sit through another winter. Calgary Auto Salvage sends a tow truck down Highway 2 and 2A to pick up junk cars anywhere in Okotoks and the surrounding Foothills County acreages. You get $200 to $10,000 in cash, a bill of sale, and no towing fee.
Phone 403-614-2357 and describe the car. We quote on the call. Once you agree, the driver leaves our yard at 4035 14th St SE, takes Deerfoot Trail south to Highway 2, then either Highway 2A past the Big Rock turnoff or Highway 7 into town, about 45 kilometres and 40 minutes in normal traffic. He confirms the vehicle matches the description, pays cash, writes the bill of sale and loads it. You remove the licence plate before he leaves.
Okotoks pickups regularly take us out to gravel roads off Highway 549 and 2A. A tractor-pulled car, a dead farm truck or a rolled quad on a trailer – we bring a flatbed that can handle a driveway with no pavement.
Cars parked near the Sheep River or stored outside all year rust from the frame up. Even a rusted-out body still carries engine, transmission and catalytic converter value. We quote on the mechanical parts, not the paint.
Most people in Okotoks commute to Calgary. We run pickups until 9pm every day, so you can meet the driver at your Cimarron or Drake Landing address after you get home rather than taking time off.
After the sale, take the bill of sale to Ardiel Agencies at 11 McRae Street, the Alberta registry agent in Okotoks, to cancel registration. Keep your plate. That is the entire process on your side.
Okotoks sits on the Sheep River about 38 kilometres south of downtown Calgary, with a population of just over 30,000 at the last census. It grew as a bedroom community, which shows in the vehicles we collect there: a lot of three-row SUVs, minivans and crew-cab pickups that did the Highway 2 commute for a decade and then quit. There are also plenty of older farm trucks and second vehicles on the acreages between Okotoks, Aldersyde and De Winton.
The drive from our yard is straightforward. In summer the trip takes 40 minutes. In winter, Highway 2 south of Calgary can get icy fast, and the driver sometimes uses Highway 2A through De Winton instead. We plan around it. A pickup booked in the morning is normally done that day regardless of season. If you are out near the Big Rock erratic on Highway 7 or on the far side of the river in Westmount, the distance barely changes.
What we buy from Okotoks: complete cars and trucks with a bill of sale, vehicles missing registration but with ownership proof, insurance write-offs after settlement, and non-running vehicles sitting since a failed inspection. Cars with front-end collision damage from the deer along Highway 2A are common and still carry full parts value in the back half.
Calgary Auto Salvage runs a licensed salvage and recycling yard in southeast Calgary. A car collected from Okotoks is checked in, the fluids are drained into sealed tanks and the battery and tires come off within a day. Reusable parts – especially from the pickups and SUVs that Okotoks families drive – are shelved and sold to garages across the south of the province. Everything left over goes through the crusher and is shipped as recycled steel. Because we handle each step ourselves, Okotoks sellers get paid on what the car is worth to a recycler, not a flat scrap number.
If your insurer paid out on a hail or collision claim and let you keep the car, we will buy it. Salvage-titled vehicles are our specialty. Bring the settlement paperwork and the registration and we quote on the spot.
Cleaning out an acreage south of Okotoks with a dead truck, an old car and a snowmobile? We price each unit and send a truck big enough to take them in one trip, which keeps the drive worth it for both sides.
The quote is the price unless the car is not as described. We do not deduct for towing, fuel for the Highway 2 run, or a missing catalytic converter you already told us about.

No. Okotoks is well within our free pickup range. We are on Highway 2 south several times a week for Okotoks, High River and Foothills County calls. The quote you get on the phone already accounts for the drive, and no towing charge is added when the driver arrives.
Yes. Rural addresses off Highway 549, 2A and 7 are normal for us. Give the driver a clear route in and tell us if the vehicle is stuck in mud, snow or a field. We bring a winch and cable long enough to pull a car out from a fair distance.
In Alberta you can sell a vehicle without current registration provided you have the ownership document showing it is yours. Bring that and photo ID. Our driver writes a bill of sale for you. Afterwards, Ardiel Agencies on McRae Street can confirm the registration is cancelled.
Yes. Shops in the industrial park north of town along Highway 2A regularly call us to clear customer cars that were abandoned after a repair quote. We can deal directly with the shop on the paperwork as long as they hold a valid mechanic’s lien or the owner’s authorization.
It depends on the model and whether the engine and transmission are intact. Three-quarter and one-ton trucks, especially diesels, often land well above the minimum $200 because the parts move quickly. Send photos and the VIN and we will give a firm number.
You can, but you gain nothing. Pickup is free and the price is the same. If you would rather drop it at 4035 14th St SE for your own reasons, call first so we have the paperwork ready, and remember to take your licence plate off before you leave it.
