Easy to miss. Easy for us to reach.
Cheadle has always been easy to miss. In its early years, poor highway signs made the hamlet hard to find. It was often left off maps. Today it sits just south of the Trans-Canada Highway, with Highway 24 running through it. Fewer than 100 people lived here at the last census.
Easy to miss doesn't mean hard to reach, though. Our cash for cars Cheadle service is a short run east from our yard in southeast Calgary. We give you a firm offer, tow for free, and pay you before the vehicle leaves.

A Hamlet Named for an Explorer
The Canadian Pacific Railway named Cheadle after Walter Butler Cheadle. He was an explorer who wrote about a trek across the West in the 1860s. Crews laid the track from Strathmore to Cheadle in a single day. Grain was once hauled in from Carseland, and two grain elevators stood here.
The railway built the hamlet. Then cars and newer rail lines passed it by. In a way, that story still fits. Most people now see Cheadle only from Highway 1, on the way to somewhere else.
Highway Kilometres Add Up Fast
Living beside the Trans-Canada means a lot of driving. Cheadle is about 35 km east of Calgary. Many people here commute into the city or east to Strathmore. Add trips for groceries, school and errands, and the odometer climbs fast.
Highway driving wears a vehicle in its own way. Rock chips crack windshields. Spray from semis coats everything in grime. Cold starts on winter mornings strain batteries, belts and starters. After enough years, the repair bills start to outrun the car's value.
Fix It or Sell It?
A decision guide. Work through these questions in order. Stop when one gives you a clear answer.
Is the frame or body rusted through?
If yes, it may not be safe to keep driving.
Will the fix only buy you one more winter?
If yes, sell now, while it still has value.
Do you already have a second vehicle?
If yes, the old one may just be costing you insurance and space.
Will a modest repair make it safe and reliable?
If yes, fixing it could be worth it.
If most of your answers point to selling, give us a call. If they point to fixing, that's fine too. At least you'll know where you stand before you spend money on parts.

Our Services in Cheadle
Junk car removal
A car that quit on the commute can end up stuck in your driveway. Moving it yourself isn't easy. We'll take it from there. Tell us if it rolls, steers and has air in the tires. Then we send the right truck for the job. Read more about our junk car removal service.
Scrap car removal
Some cars are too far gone to fix or resell. We scrap them the right way. The fluids are drained and the battery comes out first. Then the steel goes off for recycling. It's a clean exit for a vehicle that has given all it can. We collect from hamlet lots and nearby farms alike.
Cash for junk cars
A car that won't run still has worth. Its weight, its catalytic converter and its usable parts all count. We size up the full vehicle and quote one firm price. If it matches the description you gave us, there's no surprise at the door. The number you heard is the number you get.
Cash for trucks
Trucks around Cheadle often do double duty. They haul for the farm, then carry someone to a job in the city. When the kilometres pile up and the repairs follow, we'll make an offer. Gas or diesel, two-wheel or four-wheel drive, we're interested, even with a bad engine.
Cash for hail-damaged cars
Summer hail can sweep across the flat land east of Calgary. A car parked in an open yard has no place to hide. If dents and cracked glass have made the repair too costly, we'll buy the car as it is. You don't need to fix a thing before you call.
Free towing
Our tow is free from Cheadle and the farms around it. See how our free towing works. The cost never comes off your offer. That's true for a paved driveway in the hamlet. It's also true at the end of a long gravel lane with a gate to open.
