From flag stop to freight hub.
Conrich began as a flag stop on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. Back then, passengers had to wave a train down to board it. Today a CN line still runs through, and the area is a major freight hub. CN's Calgary Logistics Park sits here, just east of the city on McKnight Boulevard.
That mix of rail yards, trucking firms and older acreages means a lot of vehicles. Some still earn their keep. Others are done. Our cash for cars Conrich service buys the ones that are done. You get one firm quote, free towing and payment at pickup.

From Flag Stop to Freight Hub
The railway reached Conrich in 1913. The name blends the surnames of two land developers, Connacher and Richardson. For decades, it was a quiet farm stop with a grain elevator and a post office.
That changed when CN built its 680-acre Calgary Logistics Park here. The intermodal terminal opened in early 2013. Shipping containers move between trains and trucks there. Warehouses and yards have grown up around it, mostly north and west of the old hamlet.
For Rocky View County, Conrich is a growth area. Farmland is slowly giving way to industrial lots and new homes. The county is still planning how the area will change over the coming years.
Work Trucks, Yard Vehicles and Acreage Cars
Busy industrial areas use vehicles hard. A pickup that runs between yards all day racks up idle hours fast. Service vans get loaded heavy and driven in all weather. When they're retired, they often sit at the back of a lot, waiting for someone to deal with them.
The acreages are a different story. Many lots around the hamlet are two to four acres, and some date back to the 1960s. On land like that, it's easy to keep an old car "for later." Later often never comes.
Both kinds of vehicles have value. We buy them from businesses and families alike. The process is the same whether you're a yard manager or a homeowner.
Your Pre-Pickup Checklist
Tick off each item before the tow truck arrives.
I can tell you the year, make, model and roughly how many kilometres it has.
I've found the registration, or I know who the registered owner is.
The registered owner will be there with photo ID to sign.
I've removed personal items, garage openers and toll or parking passes.
I'll take the licence plate off, or I'll have a screwdriver ready.
I've cleared a path if the vehicle is behind equipment or in a fenced yard.
For a company vehicle, the person signing has authority to sell it.

Our Services in Conrich
Junk car removal
An acreage car that hasn't moved in years can be sunk in grass or blocked in by a trailer. A yard truck might be wedged between containers. We plan for both. Tell us where the vehicle sits and what's around it. We'll send a truck that can winch it out cleanly, without you having to rearrange the whole lot.
Scrap car removal
Conrich has wetlands and a high water table in places. A leaking vehicle can do real harm to land like that. When we scrap a vehicle, the oil, coolant and battery are dealt with first. Then the steel and other metals go to recycling. Your yard gets cleaner, and the ground stays safer.
Cash for junk cars
A vehicle doesn't need to run to be worth something. We pay for junk cars based on weight, parts and the catalytic converter. Seized engines and failed transmissions are fine. Want to know more before you call? Read about how our cash for junk cars offers are put together and what moves the price.
Cash for trucks
Trucks are everywhere around a logistics park. Half-tons, three-quarter-tons and one-tons all do the daily grind of yards and job sites. When one becomes more trouble than it's worth, we'll buy it. High hours, worn interiors and body damage are all fine. See our cash for trucks page for details.
Cash for hail-damaged cars
Storms that hit northeast Calgary can also roll over Conrich. Rows of vehicles parked in open yards have no cover. If hail has left yours dented and the repair isn't worth it, we'll buy it as it is. That goes for one family car or several fleet vehicles hit by the same storm.
Free towing
Our towing is free across Conrich, from industrial yards to quiet acreage lanes. The cost never comes off your quote. If you're clearing several vehicles from one site, we can plan the pickups together. That saves you time and keeps your lot running smoothly while we work. Just tell us which gate to use and who will meet the driver.
