Firm offer Free Red Deer tow Paid at pickup
A central Alberta city that runs on wheels.
Red Deer sits halfway between Calgary and Edmonton, right on the QEII. With about 100,000 people, it's Alberta's third-largest city. The Red Deer River winds through town, and Waskasoo Park follows it with more than 80 km of trails. That's why locals call it Park City.
It's also a city that runs on wheels. Trades, health care, retail and the energy sector keep people driving every day. Trucks head out to job sites. Commuters run up and down the QEII. Students come and go from Red Deer Polytechnic. Our cash for cars Red Deer service helps when a vehicle has reached the end of the road. We give you a firm offer, tow it for free and pay you before it leaves.

Trucks That Work for a Living
Oil and gas is one of Red Deer's key industries. Plenty of service and trades crews work out of the area. Their trucks don't live easy lives.
A typical work truck around here faces:
Gravel lease roads that chip glass and beat up the suspension.
Long idle hours on cold job sites, which add engine wear without adding kilometres.
Heavy loads and trailers that strain transmissions, brakes and hitches.
Deep cold that's hard on batteries, starters and seals.
Highway kilometres between Red Deer, rural sites and other towns.
After enough years, a work truck can need a new transmission, a rebuilt front end and new brakes at once. That's when selling beats fixing. We buy them in any condition, whether it's yours or a small company's.

Students, Newcomers and Moving Day
Red Deer Polytechnic draws students from across central Alberta and beyond. Many bring a car with them. When the program ends, they often move on for work. Others come to Red Deer for a job, then get transferred. Moving an old car isn't always worth it. Think of the gas, the time and the risk of a highway breakdown.
If you're leaving town, plan ahead. A car left behind can turn into tickets, towing fees or a hassle with a landlord.

Our Services in Red Deer
Junk car removal
Cars die in Red Deer driveways every winter. A cold snap kills the battery, then the starter, then the will to fix it. We'll tow it away as it sits. It doesn't need to start, roll or have air in the tires. Just tell us whether it's in a garage, on the street or in a parking lot.
Scrap car removal
Some vehicles are only good for their metal. When yours reaches that point, we handle the recycling the right way. Fluids are drained, then the battery and tires come off. The metal is recycled. Nothing is left to leak toward storm drains or the river. Learn more about our scrap car removal steps.
Cash for junk cars
A car with a seized engine or a dead transmission still has value. Weight, reusable parts and the catalytic converter all go into our price. You get a firm number before we book. If the car matches what you told us, that number holds when we arrive.
Cash for trucks
Half-tons, three-quarter-tons and one-tons are everywhere in central Alberta. When yours is worn out from job sites, trailers or farm work, we'll buy it. We also take trucks from small fleets. Big kilometres, rust and four-by-four problems won't stop a sale. See our page on selling a used or damaged truck for more detail.
Cash for hail-damaged cars
Summer storms in central Alberta can drop hail fast. A car parked outside at work or at home can take a beating in minutes. If the repair costs more than the car is worth, sell it as is. We'll give you a firm offer, dents and cracks included.
Free towing
We tow for free from anywhere in Red Deer, even though our base is in southeast Calgary. That includes homes, apartment lots, shop yards and business parks. The cost of the trip never comes off your offer. Let us know about gates, fobs or loading docks before we arrive.
