Olds is halfway between Calgary and Red Deer, and neither city’s yards are keen to make the trip. We are. Calgary Auto Salvage buys dead and damaged vehicles in Olds for $200 to $10,000 in cash and covers the towing. Student cars, farm trucks, college-town commuters, all welcome.
Start with a call to 403-614-2357. Have the year, make, model and a plain description of the problem ready. We quote on the phone, and the number holds as long as the vehicle matches. The driver leaves our yard at 4035 14th Street SE, takes Deerfoot Trail to the QEII and exits at Highway 27 for Olds, roughly 100 kilometres and a bit over an hour. Payment is cash on the spot, with a bill of sale for your records.
Every spring a batch of student vehicles in Olds reach the end of the line just as their owners leave for the summer. If yours will not make the drive home, we will buy it before you go and tow it from the residence lot or your rental.
We do not stop at scrap weight. A Silverado with a good 5.3 and a rusted-through box, or an Escape with a sound transmission and a smashed front clip, is priced on what those components are worth to our parts customers.
Your bill of sale plus your registration is all Olds Registries at 6-5219 50th Avenue needs to cancel the registration. Insurance can be stopped straight after. The plate stays in your hands.
Inside Olds or out on a Mountain View County farm near Bowden, Torrington or Eagle Hill, the towing is included. Fields, shelterbelts and long gravel lanes are normal for us.
Olds has a little over 9,000 people, a working agricultural college and a main street that still serves the surrounding farms. The vehicles we collect here reflect that. We get a lot of half-ton and three-quarter-ton pickups that have done real work: grain-hauling, calving-season runs, trailer towing on Highway 27. We also get the commuter cars of people who drive to Red Deer or Calgary, and the older sedans that students bring to town and cannot afford to fix.
Work trucks pay well because the heavy parts survive. Frames, axles, transfer cases, boxes and cabs all find buyers at our yard. Student cars pay according to what is under the hood. A Mazda 3 with a good engine and a bad clutch is a different price from one with a spun bearing, so be specific when you call and we will be specific back.
Olds pickups are normally grouped with Didsbury and Carstairs stops, which are on the way, and sometimes with Sundre runs heading west on Highway 27. That keeps the free towing sustainable at this distance. In most weeks we can have a truck in Olds within two days of your call, and if we are already scheduled up the QEII, sometimes the same day.
Calgary Auto Salvage buys vehicles for salvage and recycling only. We do not sell vehicles and we do not sell parts to the public over the counter; what we recover goes to trade buyers and the steel is recycled. Everything is handled at our own yard in southeast Calgary, from draining fluids to baling the shell. Because we control that whole chain, we can pay Olds sellers $200 to $10,000 without needing to resell the vehicle to someone else first.
Duramax, Power Stroke and Cummins trucks are the most valuable things we haul out of Olds. Even with a failed injection system or a cracked head, the drivetrain and cab carry serious value. Do not scrap one by weight.
Lost the keys? Not a problem, we winch. Cannot find the ownership document? Any Alberta registry agent can print a replacement for you, and you can then sell. Call and we will explain what you need.
Settling a farm estate near Olds often means several vehicles that have not moved in years. We will come out, look at the lot, price each one and clear them in one trip, with one bill of sale per unit.

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

Yes, and this is a common request. Call a week or two before you leave, and we will schedule the pickup for a day you are still in town so you can sign the bill of sale and take the cash. We can tow from the college lots or from a rental address in town.
It is. Olds is about 100 kilometres from our yard, straight up the QEII to the Highway 27 exit. We build the drive into our routing and do not charge you for it. The offer you hear on the phone is the cash you receive.
We pick up in Mountain View County year-round. Our trucks carry winches, chains and shovels for exactly this situation. If the lane has not been plowed, tell us so the driver can plan for it, and if it is genuinely impassable we will book for the first thaw.
Olds Registries at 6-5219 50th Avenue. Bring the bill of sale our driver gives you and your registration certificate. Cancelling the registration takes a few minutes and lets you stop your insurance the same day. Your licence plate belongs to you and does not go with the vehicle.
Yes. Plenty of vehicles arrive in Olds from BC or Saskatchewan with students and new hires, and some fail the Alberta inspection on rust or frame issues. We buy them with the out-of-province ownership document. A car that cannot be registered here is still full of usable parts.
That is fine, within reason. Pull your winter tires, stereo or aftermarket wheels before we arrive. Just tell us on the phone what will be missing, because removing major components like the engine, transmission or catalytic converter changes the price.
