Why choose us
A simple way to solve an old-car problem.
An unwanted vehicle can take up a driveway, garage, parking space, or yard for months. Junk Cars Canada helps you move from “I need this gone” to a practical local option without assuming the vehicle is worthless.
01
Clear the space without arranging a regular tow
Many scrap-car buyers collect the vehicle as part of the purchase. Ask whether pickup is included, confirm the total offer, and avoid paying a tow company before you know your options.
02
Find out what the vehicle is really worth
A non-running car can still have value in its reusable parts, complete weight, metal, and model demand. A free quote helps you decide whether to sell, scrap, or simply have it removed.
03
Reach buyers who serve your area
Browse the directory by province and city or send your vehicle details through the quote form. Focus on businesses that buy and remove end-of-life vehicles, not ordinary roadside towing.
04
Know what to confirm before pickup
Check the final price, removal fees, payment method, required paperwork, and pickup timing before handing over the keys or ownership.

Quick value estimator
Is it scrap value, or could it be worth more?
Some vehicles are worth mainly their recyclable metal. Others may bring more because they are newer, complete, in demand, or contain reusable parts. Use this tool for a rough planning range, then request a real quote from a buyer.

What to know before the car goes.
Get clear on value, pickup costs, paperwork, and timing before you accept an offer.
How do I get a quote for my junk car?
Use the free quote form and provide the year, make, model, condition, and pickup location. Photos can help if the vehicle is damaged or incomplete. A buyer can then confirm the offer, pickup terms, payment method, and documents required. You are not committed until you accept the terms.
Does the vehicle have to be running?
No. Junk-car buyers commonly consider vehicles that do not start, have collision damage, have flat tires, are missing keys, or have been sitting for a long time. Describe the condition honestly so the buyer can bring suitable equipment and give you a more accurate quote.
Is scrap-car pickup free?
Many buyers include pickup at no extra charge, especially when the vehicle has enough value and is within their service area. It is not automatic in every situation. Confirm that the quoted amount is what you will receive and ask whether towing, mileage, difficult access, or removal fees will be deducted.
What affects the value of a junk car?
Offers can depend on the vehicle’s make, model, age, condition, completeness, reusable parts, recyclable weight, location, and local demand. A complete vehicle may be worth more than basic metal value, even if it no longer runs.
What documents will I need?
Requirements vary by province and by buyer, but you may be asked for identification and proof that you are authorized to sell the vehicle. Confirm the paperwork before pickup, remove your belongings and plates where required, and keep a receipt or bill of sale for your records.
How quickly can a vehicle be collected?
Some buyers can arrange same-day or next-day pickup in larger cities, while rural and remote locations may take longer. Timing depends on the buyer’s schedule, your location, vehicle access, and the equipment required.
Is this the same as regular towing?
No. This directory is for selling, removing, or recycling unwanted and end-of-life vehicles. It is not intended for breakdown towing, roadside assistance, accident recovery, impound service, or transporting a roadworthy vehicle from one location to another.
