Serving Kamloops Drivers

Kamloops sits at the confluence of the North and South Thompson Rivers in the dry interior of BC, a city of about 100,000 that functions as the transportation crossroads of the province. Highway 1 (the Trans-Canada) runs east-west through the city; the Coquihalla connects south to the Lower Mainland; and Highway 5 heads north toward Jasper. Kamloops is a hub for forestry, mining, transportation logistics, and a growing post-secondary sector anchored by Thompson Rivers University. The city's vehicle market reflects Interior BC pricing — typically higher than Alberta due to BC's provincial tax structure and dealer cost basis. Residents heading east on Highway 1 can reach Revelstoke in 2.5 hours and the Alberta border in under 4, making cross-border purchases more accessible than in coastal BC.

Distance from Airdrie: 425km (4.5 hours drive)

Kamloops Car Buying FAQs

Do you deliver to Kamloops, and what is the out-of-province process?

Yes! We deliver to Kamloops with competitive rates given the Trans-Canada corridor access. When the vehicle arrives, you register it at ICBC and get a BC out-of-province inspection done at a CVSE-approved facility (typically 1-2 hours, around $100–$200). We provide all the Alberta paperwork ICBC requires. Many Interior BC residents use this route regularly.

Why buy from Alberta instead of a Kamloops dealer?

Primarily pricing and selection. BC's 12% PST applies when you register the vehicle regardless of where you buy it, but Alberta dealer prices are consistently lower than BC dealer prices before taxes. When you add delivery cost and the PST, the total often still beats local Kamloops pricing — especially on trucks and SUVs. Our bad credit expertise is a second advantage that's genuinely hard to match locally.

I work in Thompson Rivers University or the forestry sector. Can I finance through you?

Absolutely. University employment, seasonal forestry work, and trades income all work with our lender network. We finance across Western Canada with no BC restriction. Apply online, and we'll match you to the lenders most likely to approve your specific employment profile.

What Our Customers Say

Dealt with Luke and Wes. It was one of the best car buying experiences I have ever encountered. I went back to buy another vehicle from these guys as they are just so easy to deal with.
Mitchel M.
I bought my RAV4 from Wes and Luke just before new years! We got the best service possible. I was at the dealership for a total of one hour and we had our deal done. The price was great.
Maqsood A.
