Scrap car removal with cash in hand
Rusted through, failed inspection, stripped for parts or just finished. We pay for scrap and junk cars, tow them away at no charge, and handle the paperwork with you at the curb.
- Free towing, even when the car can't roll
- No keys, no engine, flat tires are all fine
- Whole vehicles go to licensed recyclers

What counts as a scrap car
A car becomes scrap when fixing it costs more than it would be worth afterwards, or when nobody would buy it to drive. That covers a lot of ground:
- Cars with a blown engine or transmission that aren't worth the repair
- Rust through the floor, frame or rocker panels
- Cars that failed a safety inspection and would need too much work to pass
- Vehicles already partly taken apart for parts
- Cars left behind after a move, a breakup or an estate
None of that stops us. A scrap car still has steel, aluminum, copper wiring and parts that other people need, and that's what we pay for.
Where it goes after pickup
We take whole vehicles to licensed auto recyclers. Fluids, batteries and tires are removed and handled properly, usable parts are pulled for reuse, and the shell goes on to metal recycling. A junk car left in a yard leaks oil and coolant into the ground every year it sits, so getting it moved is also the tidy option.
Pickup for cars that haven't moved in years
Long-parked cars come with long-parked problems: flat or rotted tires, seized brakes, a wheel that won't turn, a car sunk into soft ground. Our flatbed can winch a car that won't roll, so the main thing we need to know is how the truck gets to it. Tell us if it's behind a gate, down a narrow lane or on grass.
For cars that still start but aren't worth keeping, see non-running cars and selling a running car for cash.
No registration in hand?
Any Autoplan broker can print a copy of the registration for the registered owner with ID. If the owner has died, the estate's executor can usually sign with the right documents. Our BC paperwork guide explains both.
Scrap car questions
Do you charge to remove a scrap car?
No. We pay you for it, and the tow is free anywhere in our area.
Will you take a car with no engine or no wheels?
Yes. The price is lower when big parts are missing, so tell us what's gone and we'll quote for the car as it is.
Can you take the catalytic converter on its own?
No. We only buy whole vehicles. Detached catalytic converters are regulated in BC, so we don't buy them as loose parts.
How fast can you pick it up?
Once we agree on a price, we book the first pickup time that works for you. Tell us if you have a deadline, like a move-out date.
Ready to see it gone?
Call with the year, make, model and where it's parked. Most calls take a few minutes, and you'll hang up with a number.
