  • Keys (not required, but helpful)

Lost Your Ownership?

The Scrap Car Removal Process

What Happens to Your Vehicle?

After pickup, your vehicle goes to a licensed auto recycler where:

  1. Hazardous materials are removed: Fluids (oil, coolant, brake fluid, fuel) are drained and properly disposed
  2. Reusable parts are salvaged: Working components may be resold as used auto parts
  3. Recyclable materials are separated: Plastics, glass, rubber, and metals are sorted
  4. The shell is crushed and shredded: Steel is recycled into new products

Approximately 80% of a vehicle can be recycled, making scrap car removal an environmentally responsible choice.

Why Scrap Instead of Trying to Sell?

When Scrapping Makes Sense

  • Repair costs exceed value: If fixing your car costs more than it’s worth, scrapping is the logical choice
  • Failed emissions or safety: Vehicles that can’t pass inspection have limited resale options
  • No buyer interest: If you’ve tried selling with no luck, scrapping gets it done fast
  • Immediate cash needed: No waiting for buyers, negotiating, or dealing with no-shows
  • Vehicle is an eyesore: Clear your driveway or property quickly

Benefits Over Private Sale

  • No advertising costs or effort
  • No strangers coming to your home
  • No negotiating or lowball offers
  • No liability concerns after sale
  • Same-day removal available
  • We buy in ANY condition

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you really pay cash the same day?

Yes. Once we verify ownership and complete the paperwork, you receive cash on the spot before we leave with the vehicle.

What if my car has no wheels or is on blocks?

We can still remove it. Our trucks have winches to load vehicles that can’t roll. The value may be slightly reduced, but we’ll still pay cash.

Is the tow really free?

Yes. Free towing is included with every scrap car purchase. You pay nothing, we pay you.

Can I scrap a car that’s not in my name?

Generally, no. The registered owner must be present or provide written authorization. This protects against theft and fraud. Contact us to discuss special circumstances.

How quickly can you pick up my scrap car?

Often same-day. We have multiple trucks serving Mississauga daily. Morning calls can frequently be picked up by afternoon.

What if my car is behind a fence or in a tight space?

Let us know when you call. Our operators are experienced with difficult access situations. We may need to use winching or special techniques, but we can usually accommodate.
