How Scrap Car Removal Works
The entire process takes as little as one phone call and a few hours. Here’s how our scrap car removal service works from start to finish:
Tell us your vehicle’s year, make, model, and general condition. We’ll also ask about tire condition (inflated or flat), whether the catalytic converter is present, and the vehicle’s parking situation (ground level or underground). Based on this, we give you an honest price over the phone — no surprise changes when we arrive.
Once you accept the quote, we dispatch one of our tow trucks to your location at a time that works for you. Towing is completely free — we use flatbed tow trucks for non-running vehicles and standard wheel-lift for rolling ones. No towing charges, no hidden fees.
When our driver arrives, they verify the vehicle matches the description you provided, complete the paperwork, and pay you the agreed amount in cash right there. The entire pickup usually takes 15–30 minutes. Your vehicle is then transported to a licensed auto recycling facility.
What Vehicles We Accept for Scrap Removal
We accept virtually any vehicle regardless of condition, age, or drivability:
Condition doesn’t matter: running or non-running, accident-damaged, flood-damaged, fire-damaged, rusted, missing parts, flat tires, dead battery, failed emissions — we take it all. All makes and models accepted: Honda, Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes, and every other manufacturer. Whether the vehicle is 5 years old or 25, we provide a fair quote based on its current scrap value.

Signs It’s Time to Scrap Your Car
Not sure if your vehicle is worth repairing or scrapping? Consider scrapping if any of these apply:
How to Prepare Your Car for Scrap Pickup
Check glove box, trunk, under seats, door pockets, and visors.
Required before the car leaves. Return plates to Service Ontario or transfer them.
Sign the transfer section on the back of the vehicle permit.
Ground level is ideal. Let us know if it’s in an underground parkade.
Service Ontario Paperwork
When you scrap a vehicle in Ontario, you need to complete a few administrative steps to cancel your registration and avoid future liability. Sign the “Application for Transfer” section on the back of your vehicle permit (ownership) and give it to the buyer (our driver). Within 6 days, report the sale to Service Ontario online or in person — this officially removes the vehicle from your name and cancels your plate sticker obligations. If you’re returning the plates, bring them to a Service Ontario office. You may be eligible for a partial refund on your unused plate sticker period. We provide a receipt at pickup that serves as proof of sale for your records and Service Ontario documentation.
Environmental Responsibility
Scrap cars contain hazardous fluids — oil, coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and battery acid — that contaminate soil and groundwater if not disposed of properly. Our vehicles are transported to licensed Ontario auto recycling facilities that drain and safely dispose of all fluids, remove and recycle the battery, recover usable parts, and shred the remaining metal for recycling. Up to 95% of a vehicle’s materials can be recycled. By using a reputable scrap car removal service rather than abandoning a vehicle or selling to an unlicensed yard, you’re ensuring proper environmental handling while still getting paid.
Beyond scrap removal, we provide the full range of roadside assistance and towing: battery boosts, tire changes, car lockouts, winching, breakdown towing, heavy-duty towing, motorcycle towing, long-distance towing, insurance towing, and 24-hour emergency service.
Frequently Asked Questions — Scrap Car Removal
How much will I get for my scrap car?
Typical scrap car values range from $150 to $1,500+ depending on vehicle weight, completeness, catalytic converter presence, wheel type, and current scrap metal prices. Call (289) 430-6172 for your exact free quote.
Is the towing really free?
Yes. We provide completely free towing for all scrap car pickups across Oakville, Mississauga, Hamilton, Burlington, Milton, Etobicoke, and the GTA. The quote we give you is the amount you receive — no towing charges are deducted.
Do you accept cars that don’t run?
Absolutely. We accept vehicles in any condition — running or not, complete or missing parts, accident-damaged, rusted, flooded, or fire-damaged. If it has a VIN and a vehicle permit, we’ll buy it.
How fast can you pick up my scrap car?
In most cases, we offer same-day or next-day pickup. Once you accept the quote, we schedule a time that works for you and dispatch a tow truck. The actual pickup takes 15–30 minutes on site.
What paperwork do I need?
You need the vehicle ownership (permit) with the transfer section signed, and your license plates removed. After the sale, report it to Service Ontario within 6 days online or in person. We provide a receipt at pickup.
Can I scrap a car without plates?
Yes — you can scrap a vehicle that doesn’t currently have plates attached. However, you’ll still need the vehicle ownership (permit) to complete the transfer of ownership. Remove any plates that are on the car before pickup.
Why does the catalytic converter affect the price?
Catalytic converters contain platinum, palladium, and rhodium — precious metals worth $100–$800+ per converter depending on the vehicle. A car with its original catalytic converter is worth significantly more than one where it’s been removed or stolen.
Do you provide scrap car removal in Mississauga?
Yes. Scrap car removal Mississauga is one of our highest-volume service areas. We cover all Mississauga neighbourhoods with free same-day pickup. Call (289) 430-6172 for your Mississauga scrap car quote.
What about scrap car removal in Hamilton and Burlington?
Yes — we provide free scrap car removal in Hamilton (all areas including the Mountain, Dundas, Stoney Creek) and Burlington (Aldershot, Appleby, Brant Hills). Connected via the QEW and 403 for fast pickup.
Is my scrap car recycled responsibly?
Yes. All vehicles we remove are transported to licensed Ontario auto recycling facilities. Fluids are drained and disposed of safely, batteries are recycled, usable parts are salvaged, and the remaining metal is shredded for recycling. Up to 95% of a vehicle’s materials are recovered.
