We're about an hour south of you on the QEII. If a vehicle got parked for the winter and never started again, we'll give you an honest number, tow it free, and pay you before it leaves the yard.
Farm country runs on seasons, and so do farm vehicles. Around Didsbury, many trucks work flat out from seeding through harvest and then get parked when snow comes. Most start again in April. Some don't — and those are the ones we hear about.
Batteries drain and freeze, fuel degrades and gums lines, brakes seize, tires flat-spot, and seals dry out. Mice move into the air box, heater housing and wiring almost immediately. A truck that was tired but running in October can be a non-runner by April.
On many farms a vehicle becomes the yard truck, then the parts truck. At each step it moves further from the house and gets less attention until it's simply part of the scenery behind the bins.
If it didn't make it through winter, get a number now and book pickup for when the yard firms up. The decision is made and the truck is gone before seeding keeps everyone too busy.
Didsbury has many long-owned cars that simply stopped being needed — a licence not renewed, a move to a smaller home, or a spouse's car nobody drives. These are usually complete, often garage-kept, and less rusty than the regional average, which works in your favour.
Often the person selling isn't the person who drove the car, and paperwork may need sorting. We'll walk you through it without rushing.

| Parts truck, partly stripped | $200 – $600 |
| Several vehicles, one yard | Per-vehicle offer improves |
Weight sets the floor. Completeness and salvageable parts push it up; rodent damage and missing components pull it down. The catalytic converter is priced separately and on a heavier truck can be a large share of the offer.

Sometimes a vehicle that won't start after winter just needs a battery. Before you sell, it's worth trying a new battery and fresh fuel — if it runs cleanly, it may be worth more as a working farm truck than to us.
If it still won't run, or it runs with a knock, slipping transmission or burning-coolant smell, the problem is bigger. Get our number, compare it with the shop's estimate, and decide from there.
