When it makes sense to scrap a car

Most people call us after doing the math on a repair, or after the car has sat so long it's become a chore.

  • The repair quote is bigger than the car is worthEngines, transmissions and rusted frames often cost more to fix than the car would sell for afterwards.
  • It hasn't moved in monthsFlat tires, a dead battery and expired insurance. It's not going anywhere on its own.
  • You need the space backA strata stall, a driveway, a spot in the yard, or a garage you'd like to use again.
  • It's the second car nobody drivesStill insured "just in case" and costing you money every month.

What happens to the car after pickup

Cars come back to our yard on Olsen Road in Surrey, then move on to auto recyclers within a day or two. Parts that still work get a second life, and the rest goes back into steel.

Once it's loaded, the car is out of your hands. You keep your plates and a copy of the signed transfer form, then cancel the insurance at any Autoplan broker. Our BC paperwork guide has the details.

Whole vehicles only

Since March 2022, loose catalytic converters are regulated metal in BC. We buy complete vehicles, never loose converters or parts.

Parkades, lanes and other tight spots

Most awkward pickups are fine with a bit of notice. When you book, it helps to tell us:

  • The clearance at the parkade entranceIf there's a height sign, a photo of it is perfect.
  • Whether the wheels roll and steerFlat tires, seized brakes or a locked steering wheel change how we load it.
  • If you have the keysNot always needed, but it makes loading easier.
  • Who'll meet the driverA registered owner needs to be there to sign and get paid.

What sets your quote

We don't post a price list because the numbers move every week. These are the things that decide it:

  • Weight. Most of a scrap car's value is the steel in it, so a truck usually quotes higher than a compact.
  • How complete it is. Engine, transmission, catalytic converter and wheels all still on the car count in your favour.
  • Year, make and model. Some models have parts that are in demand.
  • Where it's parked. An easy driveway pickup is quicker than a deep underground stall.
  • Steel prices that week. Scrap metal markets move, and quotes move with them.

Tell us honestly about missing parts or damage. That's the best way to avoid surprises on pickup day.

Questions we get asked

Do I need to be there for the pickup?

Yes. A registered owner needs to sign the paperwork and take payment, so plan to be there when the truck arrives.

How quickly can you pick up?

Often the same day. It depends on where the car is and how busy the trucks are, so we'll give you a time when we quote.

Will you take a car with missing parts?

Usually, yes. Tell us what's missing. A car without its engine or catalytic converter is worth less, but we can still haul it.

Do you take cars without keys?

Often, yes, as long as you can prove ownership with the registration. Mention it when you book.

Is the towing really free?

Yes. You don't pay anything for the tow.
