What We Accept for Scrap Car Removal

We remove a wide range of vehicles in various conditions throughout Ontario. Our process is designed to be quick, fully legal, and environmentally responsible—helping keep local neighborhoods clear of eyesores and hazards.

  • Scrap cars and trucks, whether they’re still running or completely dead
  • Vans, SUVs, and specialized work vehicles from contractors or trades
  • Accident-damaged cars that insurance companies have written off
  • Rusted project cars sitting idle in backyards or garages for years
  • Abandoned or unclaimed vehicles left on private properties (ownership documentation required for transfer)
  • Fleet and commercial pickups that companies no longer want to maintain
  • Older vehicles that fail Ontario’s emissions or safety standards

We also coordinate with local auto recyclers to dismantle vehicles properly, ensuring fluids, batteries, and metals are handled according to Ontario environmental regulations.

Our Ontario Car Removal Process

We’ve streamlined the entire process for Ontario residents, making it simple to clear out unwanted vehicles without the typical headaches.

  1. Reach out by phone or online with your vehicle details, including make, model, year, and the Ontario location where it’s parked. This helps us prepare the right equipment.
  2. We arrange a same-day or next-day pickup, depending on your schedule and local availability. We’ll confirm a convenient time window so you’re not left waiting.
  3. Our licensed tow crew arrives on-site with identification and all necessary ownership transfer paperwork, ensuring everything is handled by the book.
  4. We load and remove the vehicle at no cost for qualifying scrap cars, taking care to avoid damage to driveways or nearby property.
  5. We can provide a scrap certificate or donation receipt, which you can use for insurance cancellation or even charitable tax considerations.

This transparent, step-by-step approach means no hidden fees, no surprise upcharges, and full compliance with Ontario Ministry of Transportation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What documents do I need to scrap my car in Ontario?

You typically need the vehicle ownership (green permit) signed over to the junk removal company, plus a valid piece of photo ID. We’ll handle the paperwork and provide you with a copy for your records, ensuring you can safely cancel insurance and plates.

Do you charge any hidden fees for towing or paperwork?

No. Our car removal service is completely free for most scrap vehicles in Ontario, provided the vehicle meets standard requirements (like being complete with no major parts stripped). We also include the ownership transfer at no cost.

How quickly can you pick up my junk car?

In most Ontario locations, we offer same-day or next-day pickup. If you call us early enough, we can often dispatch a tow truck within a few hours, depending on demand and traffic.

Will I get a receipt or proof that my car was scrapped?

Yes. We can issue a scrap certificate or donation receipt upon request. This is useful for insurance cancellation or tax purposes if you’re donating your vehicle to a partnered charity.

Can I remove my license plates before you tow the car?

Absolutely. In Ontario, you are encouraged to remove your plates and return them to ServiceOntario (or transfer them to another vehicle). We’ll wait while you remove plates and personal belongings.

What happens to my vehicle after you take it away?

Your vehicle is transported to a licensed auto recycling facility, where it’s depolluted (fluids, batteries, tires removed) and dismantled for scrap metal. This process ensures compliance with Ontario environmental regulations.

Do you remove vehicles from underground parking or tight spaces?

Yes, in many cases. Please mention the exact location (including underground garages, laneways, or backyards) when booking. We’ll determine if special equipment is needed.

Do you buy cars that still run or only junk vehicles?

We specialize in scrap and end-of-life vehicles, but if your car still runs and has resale value, we may offer a cash offer instead of just free removal. Ask us for a quick appraisal over the phone.
