Sell my scrap car: scrap car buyer paying cash on the spot

What determines the amount

A scrap car isn't priced on a hunch. The amount rests on four measurable things: the vehicle's weight, which sets the metal value; the year and model, which drive demand for parts; whether the catalytic converter is still on it, the single most valuable component on an end-of-life vehicle; and the condition of anything still reusable (engine, transmission, doors, rims).

That's why offers vary so much from one vehicle to the next. A small car stripped of its converter gets the least; a recent SUV, wrecked but complete, gets the most.

Getting a firm price in minutes

Give us the year, make, model and honest condition, by phone or through the form. We come back with a firm amount, no obligation.

That price doesn't move when the tow truck arrives, as long as the vehicle matches what was described. Renegotiating in the driveway is the tactic that gives this industry its reputation. We don't do it.

What we buy

• Sell non running car (one that no longer starts)
• Accident-damaged or written-off vehicles
• Cars with no engine or no transmission
• Vehicles too rusted to pass inspection
• Cars that have sat in a driveway or garage for years
• Vehicles with no keys or with lost paperwork

What recycling actually involves

A vehicle entering the yard is drained of its fluids (oil, coolant, fuel, brake fluid) before anything else happens. The battery, the tires and the air-conditioning system are removed and handled separately, to Quebec environmental standards.

Parts still worth having are pulled and put back into circulation; the shell goes to the shredder. That's what makes it possible to pay cash for a vehicle nobody wants to drive.
