How Scrap Car Removal Works in Langley
Three steps, the same way we do it across the Lower Mainland.
STEP 1
Call or send us the details
Tell us the year, make and model, what’s wrong with the car, and where in Langley it’s parked. Photos help. We give you an offer over the phone.
STEP 2
We tow it for free
We come to the car, whether it’s in a driveway, on the street, in a parkade or out in a field. Towing is free anywhere in Langley. The driver checks the car against the photos and details you gave us. If it matches, you get the price we agreed on the phone.
STEP 3
Paid on pickup, paperwork handled
You’re paid on pickup, by cash or e-transfer, before the car leaves. We handle the ICBC transfer paperwork on the spot, so there’s no second trip for you.
Langley’s Communities, and What Changes a Pickup in Each
Langley is two municipalities with one name. The City of Langley is the small urban centre. The Township of Langley wraps around it, and its own description counts six urban centres, with about 75 per cent of its land in the Agricultural Land Reserve. It lists those six communities by name. We pick up in the City and in all six.
Langley City
The smaller of the two Langleys, built around the downtown core near Fraser Highway and Douglas Crescent. The City’s neighbourhood profiles split it into six neighbourhoods: Nicomekl, Douglas, Simonds, Blacklock, Alice Brown and Uplands. Apartment and condo buildings cluster around downtown, with detached houses further out.
Willoughby-Willowbrook
The Township describes this area as growing, with new neighbourhoods, the Civic Facility and the Langley Events Centre. Much of the housing along the 200 Street corridor is recent: townhouse complexes, rowhomes and condos.
Walnut Grove
A residential community in the northwest corner of the Township, near where the Golden Ears Bridge crosses the Fraser River. Mostly detached houses and townhouses on quiet streets and cul-de-sacs.
Fort Langley
The village on the bank of the Fraser River that the Township calls the birthplace of BC. It draws tourists, shoppers and diners, so the streets around Glover Road fill up on weekends.
Murrayville
The Township’s traditional civic core, home to Langley Memorial Hospital and Langley Regional Airport. The Township’s parking page notes that some streets around the hospital have two-hour limits, so a car that has died at the curb there can’t wait long.
Brookswood-Fernridge
The south end of the Township, known for its trees, parkland and natural spaces. The Township says it is primarily single family homes. A car that hasn’t moved in years is often tucked beside a garage or at the back of a treed lot.
Aldergrove
On the Township’s eastern border, next to Abbotsford. The Township describes it as a mix of rural, residential and business use, and it is home to the Gloucester Industrial Park.
Farms, acreages and long driveways
Most of the Township is farmland, and a lot of dead vehicles there are nowhere near pavement: behind a barn, at the end of a gravel lane, or parked in a field since the last time they ran. When you call, tell us how far the vehicle is from the road, whether there’s a gate, and if the ground is soft or overgrown.
Townhouse complexes and condo parkades
In Willoughby and in Langley City, the car is often inside a strata complex. Let us know if it’s in an underground stall, a single garage or a visitor spot, and whether the entrance has a low ceiling or a gate code. The Township points out that a strata’s own bylaws apply on strata property, so ask your strata council or manager if they need notice before a tow truck comes in.
Langley Rules Worth Knowing Before a Dead Car Sits Too Long
The City and the Township each write their own bylaws, so the rule depends on which side of the boundary the car is on. The Township’s communities are Aldergrove, Brookswood-Fernridge, Fort Langley, Murrayville, Walnut Grove and Willoughby-Willowbrook. Each card below covers one municipality only.
On your own property: Township of Langley
The Township’s property use regulations page says its Community Standards Bylaw 2019 No. 5448 covers wrecked vehicles. It describes a wrecked vehicle as one that is not licensed for the current year and is not insured with a storage policy, or one that can’t move under its own power or has been reduced to parts.
A wrecked vehicle can’t be stored on a property unless it is inside an enclosed building, or the zoning for that property specifically allows it. The Township says a tent, canopy or tarp doesn’t count as an enclosed building.
The Township’s complaint page says it does not accept anonymous complaints. A complaint about private property has to be in writing, from someone who lives within 500 metres.
On your own property: City of Langley
Langley City has its own bylaw, the Community Standards Bylaw, 2018, No. 3075. The consolidated copy on the City’s website lists the exterior storage or parking of dilapidated motor vehicles, or their parts, as an unsightly condition. It also says no more than one unlicensed or uninsured motor vehicle may be stored or parked on a parcel of land.
Under that copy, an inspector can order the owner to fix the problem by a set time. If that doesn’t happen, the City can do the work at the owner’s cost. Bylaws get amended, so check the City’s bylaws page for the current wording.
On the street: Township of Langley
Street parking in the Township falls under its Highway and Traffic Bylaw 2010 No. 4758. The Township’s parking regulations page says vehicles are not allowed to park in the same location on a street for more than 72 hours. Parking complaints go to Township Bylaw Enforcement through its complaint page.
On the street: City of Langley
Langley City’s rules are in its Highway and Traffic Regulation Bylaw, 2013, No. 2871. The City’s parking information page says a legally parked vehicle with no posted time limit may stay in the same location for up to 72 hours. It also says vehicles must display valid insurance, meaning a number plate or a temporary operating permit, to park on city roadways.
The bylaw lets a vehicle that is unlawfully on a street be removed and impounded, with the owner responsible for the costs. The City’s Community Safety Team page says that if your vehicle is towed by Langley City, you should contact Clover Towing.
ICBC’s steps when you sell a vehicle
ICBC’s steps for selling a used vehicle include confirming you’re the registered owner, signing the registration, filling out the Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T), and removing your licence plates.
To cancel your insurance, ICBC says to visit your Autoplan broker with your ID, your licence plates and your owner’s certificate. You can also transfer the insurance to another vehicle. These are ICBC’s general seller and cancellation steps; we handle the transfer paperwork with you at pickup.
This is general information, not legal advice. Bylaws change, and the City of Langley’s, the Township of Langley’s and ICBC’s own pages are the authority. Check them, or call your municipality, before you rely on any of this.

Langley Scrap Car Questions
How much do you get for scrapping a car in Langley?
There’s no single number. The offer depends on the vehicle: its weight in scrap metal, and whether it has parts that are still worth pulling. Call us with the year, make and model and tell us what’s wrong with it. We’ll make an offer over the phone.
What’s the best way to get rid of a junk car in Langley?
If it doesn’t run, the simplest route is a scrap car buyer who tows it for free and pays you at pickup. You’ll need government-issued photo ID and proof of ownership, such as the registration, a bill of sale or insurance papers. Call us first if any of that is missing. Take your plates off before we arrive, then see an Autoplan broker to cancel or transfer the insurance.
How long can a car stay parked on the street in Langley?
Both Langleys set the limit at 72 hours. The Township of Langley says a vehicle can’t park in the same location on a street for more than 72 hours. The City of Langley says a legally parked vehicle may stay in the same spot for up to 72 hours where no sign sets a shorter limit.
How do I file a parking complaint with the Township of Langley?
Use the Parking Complaint Form on the Township’s Report a Complaint page, or contact Township Bylaw Enforcement. The Township does not accept anonymous complaints, but it says it keeps the complainant’s identity from the person complained about, except where a court requires it. In Langley City, requests go to the City’s Community Safety Team instead.
Do you pick up in Aldergrove, Fort Langley and on rural properties?
Yes. Our standard service area takes in both the City and the Township, from Walnut Grove down to Fernridge and east to Aldergrove. Towing is free, with no extra travel fee. Same-day pickup is often possible.
