Why Burnaby Drivers Scrap Their Vehicles
People scrap their cars for all kinds of reasons — and they rarely need to justify it. In Burnaby, we see a few common situations:
- The car failed inspection and the repair cost is more than the vehicle is worth
- It's been uninsured and sitting for months or years, taking up a parking stall in a condo building
- It was in an accident and deemed an ICBC write-off
- It's an older commuter vehicle that finally gave out after years of daily use
- A family member left a car behind and it needs to go
- The insurance is too expensive to maintain on a rarely-driven vehicle
Whatever your situation, scrap car removal gives you a practical way to recover some value from a vehicle you no longer want. Instead of paying for storage, insurance, or repairs — you get paid. And since we handle everything including towing, there's no logistical headache.
We Remove Scrap Cars in Almost Any Condition
We're not picky about the condition of the vehicle. If it has some scrap value, we're interested. Here's a look at what we commonly pick up:
Non-Running Cars
A car that doesn't start or can't be driven isn't a problem for us. We use flatbed trucks specifically because they don't rely on the vehicle being operational. Whether it has a blown engine, a dead battery, a seized transmission, or just hasn't run in years — we'll load it and take it away. Non-running car removal in Burnaby is one of our specialties.
Damaged Vehicles
Accident damage, flood damage, fire damage, hail damage — we buy vehicles that are damaged or structurally compromised. Even if the car is partially crushed or has major body damage, it still has scrap metal value. Damaged vehicle removal in Burnaby is straightforward with us. We'll assess what's there honestly and pay accordingly.
Old or Uninsured Cars
Older vehicles that have aged out of being worth insuring are extremely common in Burnaby's denser neighbourhoods. Condo parking stalls and townhouse driveways fill up with these cars. If yours has been sitting uninsured, we'll take it. You don't need active insurance or registration in your name in all cases — call us and we'll walk through the paperwork requirements.
ICBC Write-Offs
If your vehicle was declared a total loss by ICBC, you may still be able to sell it for scrap. The process is slightly different — there's a specific title transfer involved — but we've helped Burnaby residents through it many times. We can explain the steps clearly when you call.
Free Towing and Scrap Car Pickup in Burnaby
Free towing in Burnaby is not a limited-time promotion — it's simply how we operate. Every scrap car pickup includes towing at no charge. We don't add it as a fee later or deduct it from your cash offer. What we quote on the phone is what we pay in person.
Burnaby's mix of high-density residential, strata-managed buildings, and older suburban neighbourhoods means we deal with all kinds of parking situations. Our drivers are experienced removing vehicles from underground parkades — a common need in areas like Metrotown and Brentwood. If there's a strata or building management process involved, we're comfortable coordinating with them directly.
If your car is on a residential driveway in Burnaby Heights or parked on the street, it's even simpler. Call us, pick a time, and we'll be there.
How the Scrap Car Removal Process Works
We've streamlined the process so it's as simple as possible. Here's what to expect from start to finish:
Request a Quote
Call us at (604) 401-8046 or fill out our online quote form. Tell us the year, make, model, and general condition of the vehicle. We'll give you a fair cash offer on the spot — no need to bring the car in or send photos unless you'd like to.
Schedule Pickup
Once you accept the quote, we'll book a time that works for you. We offer same-day and next-day pickups throughout Burnaby. If you need a specific time window for building access or your own schedule, just let us know.
Get Paid
Our driver arrives, confirms the vehicle matches what was described, and pays you cash before loading the car. We bring the bill of sale — you sign, you're paid, and we take care of everything else. The whole pickup usually takes 20 to 30 minutes.
What Affects the Value of a Scrap Car?
When you call for a scrap car quote in Burnaby, a few factors will influence what we offer:
- Weight and size: Heavier vehicles contain more metal and are generally worth more. Trucks, SUVs, and vans typically pay higher than compact cars.
- Current scrap metal prices: The market for steel and aluminum fluctuates. We price based on current market rates, not outdated fixed tables.
- Usable parts: If your vehicle has components that can be resold — a working engine, good tires, intact interior — that can increase the offer.
- Age and make: Some makes hold more parts value even in rough condition. Certain older models have valuable components that are hard to find.
- Condition: Major structural damage, missing catalytic converters, or stripped interiors will reduce value. But even heavily compromised vehicles are worth something.
The best way to get an accurate number is simply to call. We'll ask a few quick questions and give you a real offer — not a vague range. And unlike some buyers, we don't change the offer when we arrive unless the vehicle is materially different from what was described.
Responsible Vehicle Recycling
Scrapping a car isn't just about clearing space or getting cash — it's actually the most environmentally responsible thing you can do with an end-of-life vehicle.
Old cars contain hazardous fluids — engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, refrigerants — that can leach into the soil and water supply if a vehicle is abandoned or improperly disposed of. When your scrap car goes to a licensed recycling facility, all of those fluids are drained, collected, and either recycled or disposed of safely according to BC environmental regulations.
After that, the vehicle is dismantled. Usable parts are removed for resale. The remaining metal is shredded and processed for use in steel production. It's a circular process — your old car becomes raw material for new products. In fact, steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world, and end-of-life vehicles are a major source.
When you book scrap car removal in Burnaby through us, you're connecting your vehicle to a regulated, eco-responsible process. Compared to letting a car sit and deteriorate on a property — or paying for long-term storage — recycling is clearly the better option for the environment and for your wallet.
Serving Burnaby Neighbourhoods
We cover all of Burnaby. Whether you're in a high-rise near Metrotown or a quieter residential street in Burnaby Heights, we'll come to you. Some of the areas we frequently service include:
Burnaby's condo density — particularly around Metrotown and Brentwood — means we often deal with underground parkade pickups. These are more common here than almost anywhere else we service, and our team handles them routinely. If your building requires advance notice or a specific entry process, just let us know when you book and we'll sort it out.
In neighbourhoods like Burnaby Heights and Edmonds, we mostly see residential driveways and street-parked vehicles. These are typically the fastest and simplest pickups we do — driver arrives, car gets loaded, cash changes hands, done.
If you're not sure whether we service your specific street or building, just call. We almost certainly do.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a scrap car worth in Burnaby?
It depends on your vehicle's year, make, model, weight, and the current scrap metal market. Most scrap cars in Burnaby fetch between $150 and $1,500. Heavier vehicles like trucks and SUVs naturally pay more. Call us for a free quote — we'll give you an honest number over the phone.
Do you offer free towing in Burnaby?
Yes, always. Free towing is included with every pickup in Burnaby, regardless of where your vehicle is located or what condition it's in. There are no hidden fees or last-minute deductions.
Can you remove a car that doesn't run?
Absolutely. Non-running cars are actually some of our most common pickups. If the vehicle can't be driven, we use a flatbed tow truck to load and remove it safely. You don't need to do anything except hand us the keys.
Do you buy damaged vehicles?
Yes. We buy cars that have been in accidents, have fire or flood damage, are missing parts, or have major mechanical issues. Condition doesn't stop us — we assess value based on what's there, not what's missing.
Can you pick up from condo parking or underground parkades?
Yes. We regularly remove vehicles from underground parkades and strata parking in Burnaby. Our drivers are experienced with building access requirements. If you need us to coordinate with your building manager or strata office, we're happy to do that.
What paperwork do I need?
You'll need to sign a bill of sale, which we bring. Having your vehicle registration helps confirm ownership, but if you've lost it, call us — we can walk you through the options. ICBC write-offs have a slightly different process, which we'll explain.
How fast can you pick up my car?
Same-day pickup is available in many cases. If you call before noon, there's a good chance we can be there the same afternoon. At worst, we can usually schedule within 24 to 48 hours.
What happens to the car after you remove it?
Your vehicle goes to a licensed recycling facility where it's drained of fluids, dismantled, and the metal is processed for recycling. Usable parts may be resold. This is a regulated, eco-responsible process that keeps hazardous materials out of landfills.
Do I need an appointment?
Not necessarily. We can often accommodate same-day requests. But scheduling a specific time makes it smoother for everyone — just call us and we'll find a window that works.
Do you buy ICBC write-offs?
Yes. ICBC write-offs are eligible for sale to us. We'll walk you through the steps to make sure the transfer is handled correctly. Just give us a call with the details.
