Local factors

Specific to the Lower Mainland

  • Diesel bylaw: older tiers are harder to run inside Metro Vancouver.
  • Not in Abbotsford or Chilliwack: the bylaw stops at Metro's edge.
  • Access: a rig behind a building or on soft ground takes more planning.
  • Distance: Hope and beyond is outside our area.

Three ways to sell

Private sale: most money, most time. Dealer or auction: simpler, takes a cut. Us: fast, no fees, any condition. How it works.

Questions

Common questions

Can you give me a price over the phone?

We can give a rough idea once we know the type, make, model and condition. A firm number usually needs a few photos.

Does a dead rig still have value?

Yes. Steel, the head, the compressor and tooling all count, even when it doesn't run.

Do you charge for the haul?

No. Transport is built into the offer.
