This is a scrap-metal weight estimate only — most payouts land higher once we factor in resale-worthy parts. Final offer (up to $5,000) confirmed by phone before pickup.
Call it in. We tow it. You get paid.
This is how scrap car removal in Vancouver should work — no inspections, no appointments three weeks out. Most cars are quoted in one phone call and gone within 48 hours.
Give us the basics
Year, make, model, and what’s wrong with it. Photos help but aren’t required. Quotes are quick once we have photos and the details.
Same-day, most days
Our driver arrives and checks the vehicle against the photos and details you gave us — if it matches, you get exactly the price we agreed on the phone. No renegotiating in your driveway.
Paid before it leaves
We handle the ICBC transfer paperwork, pay you by cash or e-transfer, and load the vehicle. Your driveway’s back before dinner.

Whatever happened to it, it’s still worth something.
Insurance write-off doesn’t mean worthless. Here’s what we take, as-is, no repairs required.
Hail damage
Cosmetic write-offs are still full of sellable metal and parts. We pay based on the vehicle, not the dents — see our FAQ for details.
Flood damage
Not salvageable for driving, but almost always salvageable for cash. We take flood vehicles as they are, including throughout Richmond.
Fire damage
Even a total loss has recoverable value in the frame and drivetrain. We’ll still make you a fair offer.
Accident write-offs
If repair costs exceed the car’s value, skip the bodyshop quote entirely and call us instead. Learn more in our ICBC write-off guide.
Motorcycles
Same process for motorcycles. Running or not, we’ll come take a look.
Missing registration
No registration on hand? Bring your ID and whatever proof of ownership you do have — bill of sale, insurance papers, etc. Call us first and we’ll confirm what we can accept.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you pick up my car? — Most vehicles in Metro Vancouver are picked up within 24-48 hours of your call, often the same day.
Does my car need to be running? — No. We take vehicles in any condition — running, non-running, wrecked, flooded, or missing parts.
What paperwork do I need? — Your government-issued ID and proof of ownership — registration, bill of sale, or insurance papers. Missing something? Call us first and we’ll tell you what we can accept.
Is towing really free? — Yes, towing is always free anywhere in our service area, and we pay by cash or e-transfer on pickup, before the tow truck leaves.
How much can I get for my scrap car? — Offers typically range from $50 to $5000. The baseline is your vehicle’s scrap-metal weight, but most payouts land higher once we factor in demand for its usable parts — so condition and model matter as much as weight.
Do you buy anything besides cars? — Yes, we buy cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, and motorcycles.
Is there a travel fee outside Metro Vancouver? — No. Towing is free everywhere we serve and is never a separate charge. For the cities furthest out, the distance can be reflected in the offer, and we tell you that upfront on the phone.
How do I get paid? — On pickup, by cash or e-transfer, before the car leaves.
