How Scrap Car Removal Works in Surrey
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 Surrey 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 Surrey. 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.
Surrey’s Six Communities, and What Changes a Pickup in Each
The City of Surrey describes itself as six communities: Cloverdale, Fleetwood, Guildford, Newton, South Surrey and Whalley (City Centre). We cover all six. Here is what each one usually means for getting a dead car out.
Whalley and City Centre
Surrey’s downtown core in the north, along King George Boulevard and around the SkyTrain stations, with Bridgeview down by the river. Lots of condo towers and apartment blocks here, so cars are often in underground parkades or tight visitor stalls.
Guildford
East of City Centre along 104 Avenue and 152 Street, with Highway 1 and the Port Mann Bridge on its north side and Fraser Heights beyond the highway. A mix of apartments, townhouse complexes and detached homes.
Fleetwood
Central Surrey along Fraser Highway. Mostly residential, so a dead car here is usually sitting in a driveway, a carport or a strata visitor stall.
Newton
The most populous of Surrey’s town centres, around King George Boulevard and 72 Avenue, running west to Scott Road (120 Street) on the Delta border. It includes Strawberry Hill and Panorama Ridge. Busy residential streets, where a car that hasn’t moved gets noticed.
Cloverdale
The historic town centre in the east, where Highway 10 meets Highway 15 (176 Street), with Clayton to the north. Newer townhouse complexes in Clayton, farms and acreages toward the Langley border.
South Surrey
Everything south toward the US border, along Highway 99 and King George Boulevard. It includes Crescent Beach, Ocean Park, Sunnyside, Grandview Heights, Morgan Creek, Elgin, Campbell Heights and Hazelmere. Strata complexes on one road and rural acreage on the next.
Townhouse complexes, stratas and underground parkades
A lot of Surrey lives in strata complexes. If your car is in an underground parkade, a narrow lane or a visitor stall, tell us when you book. It helps to know the parkade’s height clearance, whether the car rolls and steers, and whether the strata or building manager needs notice before a tow.
Acreages and rural properties
In the south and east of Surrey, cars end up behind barns, down gravel driveways and out in fields. Tell us if the car is off the pavement, on soft ground, behind a gate, or hasn’t rolled in years. Flat tires and seized brakes are fine, we just need to know before we come.
Surrey Rules Worth Knowing Before a Dead Car Sits Too Long
A car that doesn’t run can become a bylaw problem as well as an eyesore. These are the City of Surrey and ICBC rules that come up most, in plain words, with links to the official pages.
A dead car on your own property
The Surrey Property Maintenance and Unsightly Premises By-law, 2007, No. 16393 says a vehicle in a wrecked, discarded, dismantled or inoperative condition can’t be parked, stored or left on a property unless that use of the property is lawfully permitted.
The City’s property use bylaws page explains what happens after a complaint: a bylaw enforcement officer inspects, explains what has to be done, and sets a deadline to remove the vehicle or store it properly. If a written notice isn’t followed, the by-law lets the City do the work at the owner’s expense, and unpaid costs can be added to the property taxes.
A dead car on the street
Surrey’s street parking rules come from the Highway and Traffic By-law, 1997, No. 13007. The City says a legally parked vehicle with no posted time limit can stay in the same spot for up to 72 hours.
The City also says vehicles must display valid insurance for road use to park on city roadways, and that storage insurance only permits parking on private property. The by-law prohibits abandoning a vehicle on a highway or on City land, and a vehicle parked unlawfully can be removed to an impound at the owner’s cost.
If the City has already towed it
The City’s parking tickets page says vehicles towed by the City of Surrey may be claimed at Clover Towing Ltd, and asks you to contact Clover Towing to confirm your vehicle was towed by the City. The phone number and address are on that page.
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 Surrey’s and ICBC’s own pages are the authority. Check them, or call the City, before you rely on any of this.

Surrey Scrap Car Questions
How much do you get for scrapping a car in Surrey?
It depends on the vehicle. The starting point is its scrap-metal weight, and the offer goes up when its parts are in demand, so make, model and condition all matter. Call us with the details and we’ll give you an offer by phone, confirmed before pickup.
What do I need to do when scrapping a car in Surrey?
Have your government-issued photo ID and proof of ownership ready: registration, bill of sale, or insurance papers. Missing something? Call us first and we’ll tell you what we can accept. Take your licence plates off before pickup, then cancel or transfer your insurance at an Autoplan broker.
How long can a car be parked on the street in Surrey?
The City of Surrey says a legally parked vehicle with no posted time limit can stay in the same spot for up to 72 hours. It also needs valid insurance for road use; storage insurance only permits parking on private property. Rules change, so check the City’s parking pages for the current wording.
How can I report an abandoned vehicle in Surrey?
Report it to the City of Surrey. The City takes bylaw complaints online through the Report a Problem tool on its website. We can’t remove a vehicle that isn’t yours: we buy from the owner, with ID and proof of ownership.
Can you pick up a car from a townhouse complex or underground parkade in Surrey?
Let us know when you book. Our driver will assess the best way to get the vehicle out, and in most cases we can still manage the pickup with the right equipment. It helps to tell us the parkade’s height clearance and whether the car rolls and steers.
Do you pick up everywhere in Surrey, including South Surrey and Cloverdale?
Yes. All six Surrey communities are in our standard service area: Whalley and City Centre, Guildford, Fleetwood, Newton, Cloverdale and South Surrey. Towing is free and there’s no extra travel fee. We also cover neighbouring White Rock, Delta and Langley.
