Neighbourhoods and roads we cover
Aldergrove is a small town with a big rural edge. Here's how the pickups tend to look in each part of it.
Aldergrove town centre
Around Fraser Highway and 272 Street, where the old mall site is being rebuilt. Street parking is tight there, so tell us if the car is in a lot or a back lane.
Parkside and Alder Drive
The streets around Parkside Centennial Elementary, mostly houses with driveways and carports. Quick loading, as long as the car isn't boxed in.
Otter and North Otter
Acreages and hobby farms where cars and trucks sit behind sheds for years. Long driveways are normal here.
Glen Valley and Salmon River
Farm roads toward the Fraser at the north end of the Township. Expect soft fields in the rainy season.
County Line and the border
Down 264 Street, which is Highway 13, toward the Lynden crossing. Bigger properties and longer lanes.
Gloucester industrial area
Shops and yards near 264 Street and Highway 1, where old work trucks and fleet vehicles end up.
Aldergrove east
The Abbotsford side of town around Swensson Avenue, with V4X postal codes. Same pickup, different city hall.
Bradner and Mount Lehman
Rural Abbotsford just east of town. Quiet roads, big lots and plenty of retired farm trucks.
Tell us how to get to it
A quick description saves a second trip. These are the details that matter most:
- How far the car is from the road
- Paved, gravel, grass or mud underneath
- Gate width and whether it locks
- Low wires, branches or a carport roof
- Whether it rolls, steers and has all its wheels
- Other vehicles or junk blocking it in

A few things about the area that change how a pickup goes.
01Fraser Highway and 264 Street
Aldergrove sits where Fraser Highway crosses Highway 13, which runs up 264 Street from the US border to Highway 1. Most routes in and out of town use one or the other.
A car anywhere near either road is quick to reach. One tucked deep into a subdivision or down a long farm lane just takes a little longer to plan.
02Town centre construction
The old Aldergrove mall site at Fraser Highway and 272 Street is being rebuilt as a new town centre, and zoning along Fraser Highway now allows buildings up to five storeys.
If the car is near the work, expect closed lanes and busy side streets. A driveway, lot or back lane is much easier for loading than the curb on Fraser Highway.
03Farms, acreages and old work trucks
East Langley Township is full of small farms and acreages, and that's where retired trucks and project cars tend to collect. The Township's zoning bylaw caps most rural properties at three commercial vehicles, so clearing out old work trucks can also take care of a bylaw complaint.
If you've got several to go, tell us about them all at once.
04The Abbotsford side of town
Aldergrove straddles the border between Langley Township and Abbotsford. The east end of town, around Swensson Avenue, has Abbotsford addresses and V4X postal codes, while the Township side uses V4W.
For a pickup, it makes no difference. We go to both, along with Bradner and Mount Lehman further east.
05Wet season on rural lots
Snow doesn't come often here, but rain does. From late fall through spring, fields and gravel pads get soft, and a loaded flatbed is heavy.
If the car is out on grass, we may ask you to wait for a dry day, or to pull it closer to the lane with a tractor or a truck if you have one. It saves everyone a stuck tow truck.
06Near the border
Properties along 264 Street close to 0 Avenue sit right by the Aldergrove and Lynden crossing, which has been there in one form or another since 1889. The lots are big down there and the driveways long.
Give us the access details and a rough idea of where the car sits on the property, and we'll take it from there.
07Further out
Aldergrove is home base, but we regularly go to Langley City, Murrayville, Fort Langley and west Abbotsford. If you're unsure, put your street in the form.
For cars that were left behind or belonged to someone who's passed away, see our estate and left-behind car page first.

Area and access questions
Do you pick up on the Abbotsford side of Aldergrove?
Yes. The east end of Aldergrove has Abbotsford addresses and V4X postal codes, and we pick up there the same way we do on the Langley Township side. Bradner and Mount Lehman are on our regular list too.
Can you get a car out of a field?
Usually. The truck needs firm enough ground to get within reach, and the winch does the rest. In the wet months we may ask to wait for a dry day, or for the car to be pulled to a gravel pad or lane first.
Can you take more than one vehicle at once?
Yes. If you've got two or three cars or trucks on a property, tell us about all of them at once. We'll quote each one and plan the trip so the truck isn't wasted.
What if the car is behind a locked gate?
Someone needs to be there to open it, or the gate code has to come with the booking. The driver can't climb fences or cut locks, and the signed papers have to be on hand before the car is loaded.
How do I describe where the car is?
The street address is enough for most pickups. On an acreage, add where it sits on the property, how far it is from the road and what the ground is like. A photo sent by text helps more than anything.
Do you go to Langley City and Murrayville too?
Yes. Aldergrove and east Langley Township are where most of our pickups are, but we also cover Langley City, Murrayville, Fort Langley and Abbotsford. Put the address in the form and we'll confirm.
Car out on the property somewhere?
Send the year, make and model with where it's parked, or just call. We're open every day from 8am to 8pm.
