Stony Plain is an old Alberta town that kept its character. The murals along Main Street tell that history deliberately, and the original townsite still has the layout to match — modest lots, detached garages, and rear lanes that were laid out long before anyone was designing for a flatbed tow truck.
Around it sits Parkland County: farmland, acreages, and the lake country running west toward Wabamun, Seba Beach, Duffield and Entwistle. Three very different environments, three very different kinds of vehicle sitting in them.
We collect from all of it, in any condition, tow free, and pay before the vehicle is loaded.

In the original core, houses have detached garages opening onto narrow rear lanes with power poles, fences and very little manoeuvring room. Vehicles get parked in those garages and stay there. Some have been there long enough that the current owner inherited them with the house. These are frequently in better condition than their age suggests, because indoor storage protects a vehicle from the road brine and weather that destroys everything parked outside in this climate.
Working trucks, older grain and farm units, and the general accumulation that happens on any rural property with room to store things. Often sitting in a treeline or behind a shop, often for years, sometimes already partly stripped for parts. Distance and difficulty don't reduce your offer.
The stretch west of Stony Plain toward Wabamun Lake and Seba Beach is full of seasonal properties, and seasonal properties accumulate a specific type of vehicle — the older truck kept "for the lake," the second vehicle left at the cabin, the unit that was going to haul the boat and then stopped running two summers ago. Nobody drives it back to town. It just sits.
Worth being specific about, because it's the main practical obstacle in the old part of town.
Rear lanes in the original Stony Plain townsite are narrow. In winter they're narrower still — windrows from clearing reduce usable width, and a lane that a flatbed can work in during July can be impassable in January.
What helps:
None of this costs extra. Winching, awkward positioning and difficult access are all included in free towing.
In town: the original core and Old Town, Westgate, High Park, Forest Green, Willow Park, Southcreek, Graybriar, Lakeside, Genesis on the Lakes, Fairways, and the industrial areas along Highway 779 and South Park Drive.
In Parkland County: acreages and farms along the Range Roads and Township Roads, out through Carvel, Duffield, Tomahawk, Wabamun, Seba Beach and Entwistle.
Access we handle routinely: detached garages and rear lanes, farm yards, shop and equipment yards, treelines and shelterbelts, back fields, and vehicles that have settled into soft ground. Tell us how far the vehicle sits from a usable approach and what the ground is like — that determines which truck goes out.
If you have three or four vehicles to clear from a yard, say so on the first call. They get scheduled together, which is more efficient for us and reflected in what we can offer.
A half-ton carries roughly double the recoverable metal of a compact car, and heavy-duty units close to triple. Add strong Alberta parts demand for trucks and the gap widens further. See cash for trucks and SUVs.
If parts have already come off over the years, describe what's missing when you call. It reduces the number, but the vehicle still has value and the quote will be accurate the first time.
A vehicle left in a field leaks its full fluid load into the ground over a few seasons — engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, fuel, plus battery acid. Contamination on a property becomes the landowner's problem, which is expensive in a way that dwarfs anything the vehicle is worth. Every unit we collect is depolluted before anything else happens. See scrap car removal for the full sequence.
County Range Roads are hard on suspension, bushings, wheel bearings and air filtration in a way paved commuting isn't.
Brake lines, fuel lines, rocker panels and frame rails corrode from underneath. A vehicle can become uneconomical to repair on corrosion alone while the engine still runs perfectly.
Boats out to Wabamun, campers heading west on Highway 16, trailers and equipment on farm properties — sustained heat in a transmission is the most common single failure that ends a mid-life truck here.
A vehicle parked for several seasons develops flat-spotted tires, a dead battery, seized brakes and degraded fuel. None of that prevents us from buying it, and none of it requires you to fix anything first. More at cash for non-running cars.
Storm cells track across this part of the province most summers. A hail write-off is usually mechanically sound and hard to sell privately once branded — exactly the vehicle we want. See cash for hail damaged cars.
The base of every quote, and why trucks lead.
Often the highest-value single component, because of the platinum, palladium and rhodium inside. Check underneath for a cleanly sawn section of exhaust before you call, particularly on higher-clearance vehicles parked outdoors.
Drivetrain condition, panels, glass, wheels, interior, and any mounted equipment on a work truck.
Honestly assessed, honestly reflected.
Pricing mechanics on cash for scrap cars; parts valuation on cash for junk cars.
Registration or other proof of ownership, photo ID, plates removed before we load, personal belongings cleared out. Company or farm-registered vehicles need documentation showing signing authority.
We provide the bill of sale on site — keep your copy. Cancel insurance after the sale, not before.

We also serve neighbouring Spruce Grove, Devon and the full service area.
Yes. County properties, farm yards and lake-area pickups are all routine, and distance doesn't reduce your offer.
Yes. Tell us when you book so the right truck is assigned, clear a path inside, and we'll winch it out.
Yes. Multiple-unit pickups are scheduled together — mention it on the first call.
Yes. Describe the ground conditions and how far it sits from a usable approach.
Yes, and they're often worth more than expected because of weight and strong Alberta parts demand.
No. It doesn't need to start, roll or have keys.
Yes, with no distance charge and nothing deducted from your payout.
Call (780) 202-2274 with the vehicle details, where it's parked, and anything awkward about the access. Firm number in minutes, free towing across town and Parkland County, cash before it goes on the deck.
