They're heavy.
More weight means more steel, and steel is sold by weight.

In Calgary, a truck isn't a luxury.
It hauls your tools to the job site and tows the trailer to the mountains. It gets you through a February snowstorm. That's also why trucks here work so hard, and why they wear out in ways cars don't.
When your truck has done its job, our cash for trucks Calgary service buys it as it is. Half-tons, heavy-duty diesels, work trucks with service bodies, and fleet units are all welcome. We give you a firm offer, tow it for free, and pay you before it leaves.

Why Trucks Are Worth More Than You Think
Trucks hold value in ways that surprise people. Even a rough truck can bring a better offer than a car in nicer shape.
Their parts are in demand.
Alberta has a lot of trucks on the road. Engines, transmissions, axles, tailgates and box panels for popular models are always needed.
They're built to be rebuilt.
A truck with a bad engine can often be put back on the road by someone who knows trucks.
That's why we look at the whole truck, not just its weight, before we make an offer.
Where Calgary Trucks Wear Out Fastest
Calgary trucks live a harder life than most. Knowing where the wear comes from helps you judge your own truck.
Job sites and gravel roads.
Construction sites, lease roads and gravel range roads shake loose suspension parts and chip glass.
Towing to the mountains.
Pulling a trailer up the long grades on Highway 1 toward Canmore and Banff is hard on transmissions and brakes.
Winter idling.
Trucks left running to stay warm add engine hours without adding kilometres.
Salt and slush.
Chinook melts turn road salt into brine that soaks into frames and boxes.
Short trips.
Quick runs around the city never let a diesel get hot enough to clean its own exhaust filter.
A truck that has done all of this may look fine but still need a lot of work.

Common Truck Problems We Buy As-Is
You don't need to fix your truck before you sell it. We regularly buy trucks with these issues:
Diesel emissions trouble.
Clogged particulate filters, DEF warnings and EGR faults can be costly to fix again and again.
Frame and box rust.
Years of Calgary road salt eat away at frames, boxes and rocker panels.
Transmission failure.
Towing heavy loads wears out transmissions, especially on older trucks.
Worn-out suspension.
Ball joints, bushings and steering parts take a beating on gravel and potholes.
Blown engines.
High kilometres and hard work catch up with every engine eventually.
Hail and collision damage.
Dents, cracked glass and bent panels are fine.
If the repair bill is bigger than the truck's value, selling it as it is usually makes more sense.
Selling a Company or Fleet Truck
Many trucks in Calgary belong to a business, not a person. Selling a company truck takes a few extra steps.
Check who owns it.
If the truck is registered to your company, the bill of sale should be in the company's name.
Have someone with signing authority sign.
The person signing must have the right to sell company assets.
Clear any lien.
If the truck was financed, contact the lender to pay it out before the sale.
Talk to your accountant.
Selling a business vehicle can affect your taxes, including GST and capital cost allowance.
Group your units.
Retiring more than one truck? We can quote them together and collect them in one visit.
Before Your Truck Leaves: A Checklist
Trucks carry far more than cars do. Before pickup, go through yours carefully.
Remove decals and logos.
You don't want your company name on a truck you no longer own.
Pull GPS and tracking units.
Cancel the subscription for that truck.
Cancel fuel cards.
Take them out of the truck and cancel them.
Decide on your equipment.
Toolboxes, headache racks, hitches and fuel tanks may be worth moving to your next truck. Tell us what stays.
Clear out the cab.
Check under the seats, behind them, and in the console.
Take your plate.
In Alberta, the licence plate belongs to you.
Quick Check: What Helps Your Truck's Offer
Tick each one that's true. The more ticks, the stronger your offer is likely to be.
It still starts and drives, even roughly.
It's a popular model you still see all over Calgary.
The engine, transmission and wheels are all still on it.
The frame is solid, even if the box is rusty.
It has 4x4, a tow package or a useful service body.
You have the registration and photo ID ready.
Fewer ticks doesn't mean no offer. It just means the value comes more from weight and parts. Either way, cash for trucks Calgary buyers should give you a firm number before they show up.
Why Not Trade It In?
A dealer will take your truck as a trade-in. But dealers want trucks they can sell on their lot. An older, high-kilometre or damaged truck often gets a low trade-in number. Get our offer first, then compare. If the dealer's number is better, take it. If ours is better, you'll know.
Trucks From the City, the Acreage and the Job Site
Our cash for trucks Calgary team picks up from driveways, job sites, shops and industrial yards all over the city. We also collect trucks from acreages and rural properties in places like Bearspaw and from industrial areas like Balzac.
Every pickup includes free towing, even for heavy-duty trucks that won't start. If your truck is completely done, our scrap car removal process makes sure it's recycled properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy trucks with very high kilometres?
Yes. A truck with 400,000 km still has value in its weight and parts.
Will you take a diesel truck with emissions problems?
Yes. We buy diesel trucks with DPF, DEF and EGR problems as they are. You don't need to fix anything first.
Can you pick up a truck that won't start?
Yes. Tell us the truck's size and where it's parked, and we'll plan the right tow.
Do you buy trucks with equipment still on them?
Yes. Service bodies, racks and toolboxes can stay on, and some add value. Just tell us what's included.
Do you buy lifted or modified trucks?
Yes. Lift kits, bigger tires and aftermarket bumpers are fine. Tell us what has been changed. Some upgrades add value, and others don't, so an honest list helps us price it fairly.
Do you also buy SUVs and full-size vans?
Yes. Large SUVs and work vans are priced much like trucks. Their weight and parts give them solid value, even when they don't run.
Can I sell my truck if it still has a loan?
Yes, but the lender must be paid out first. Contact your lender to arrange the payout before the sale.
