The Cochrane Angle
Mountain roads are hard on vehicles.
Towing and hauling wear
Boats, quads, sled decks, and horse trailers eat transmissions, differentials, and brakes faster than city driving ever will.
Road salt and freeze-thaw
Chinooks swing Cochrane temperatures hard, and that cycle plus de-icer quietly rots frames and brake lines underneath.
Wildlife and highway collisions
Deer and elk on Highway 1A and 22 write off a lot of vehicles here, and we buy the salvage if you kept it.
Deep-cold no-starts
Cracked block, dead battery, and gelled diesel files are common after a hard cold snap. We take them exactly as they sit.
Every Community In Cochrane
We pick up where the vehicle is.
No driving required, which matters when the vehicle does not run. We also handle industrial yards, rural properties, and gravel access.
