Towing car to junk yard.

[Ek9Max]

IS there a group that tows your junkers away for free? Good will or something?

[AllGoNoShow]

Call uhh, SHIT, Kidney Foundation!! there we go. They will tow for free and you get a tax reciept

[Ek9Max]

oh yea? that is good to know! thanks.

[Supa Dexta]

But watch out! they came and got my buddies car while he was at work, and they took the car with his $200 tool set in the trunk.. never to be seen again...

What car is it you're trying to get rid of? You should post it up for sale for $50 or even for free, you never know who might need/want it.

i have a 92 civic shell would they take that aswell?

I am pretty sure the people the kidney foundation gives it to need it also

*pokes ride.us* be nice

futurecivic call them and ask, you never know, they might just take it because I believe they just use the scrap metal money they get from crushing it so they might do it, only way to find out is call and ask.

[futurecivic]

cool thanks

Chinook towing usually picks them up. I always use a guy named Darren. He runs em over to Bucks for the coin.

although a tax receipt isnt really that great of an incentive. it it were me i'd rather sell it for $50 than get a $50 tax receipt, cause you can only claim 17% of the receipt.

When I had my old Prelude, I called some guy he came and took it for free!

which is why they tell you to clean it out before the pick up date

I think its Metro Towing that does free pick up and tow away as well. I've used them a few times.

I have heard the only thing with the kidney foundation is it must have all four wheels, and i think it has to have an engine.

While we're on the towing subject though... who would i get to tow a car from edmonton to calgary? like on a flatbed

You may want to see if you can rent a car carrier from u-haul and get a friend with a truck to take it for you. Last time I used a flat bed, it was like $50 to load, and around $2.50 a km. So you'd be looking at like $800.

Last time I used a flat-bed he charged me $50 for across town, so you should be looking at a couple hundred from Edmonton to Calgary but yeah you're better off renting a car dolley and getting a friend with a truck if you have the time to go up there and drive back.

Well.... it looks like I got f'd! But yeah, if you can avoid a tow from Edmonton to Calgary, you'd be better off.

Holy crap thats a lot of money, thanks for the UHaul idea though, I may just have to do that, sounds like the best scenario right now.
