How Scrap Car Removal Works
Selling your junk car in Montreal is simple with our streamlined process:
Step 1: Get Your Quote
Call us or request a quote online. We will ask for basic details about your vehicle:
- Year, make, and model
- Current condition (running or not)
- Location of the vehicle
- Any major damage or missing parts
Based on this information, we provide an instant cash offer with no obligation.
Step 2: Accept the Offer
Happy with the price? Accept our offer and we will schedule pickup at a time that works for you. Most pickups happen within 24-48 hours, often same-day.
Step 3: Free Towing
Our tow truck arrives at your location. We handle all the heavy lifting. You do not need to worry about getting a non-running car to us. Towing is always free with our scrap car service.
Step 4: Get Paid Cash
Once we verify the vehicle matches your description, you receive cash for your car on the spot. Hand over the keys and title, and we handle the rest.
Step 5: We Handle the Paperwork
We complete all necessary documentation and ensure the vehicle is properly transferred out of your name. You are done with no lingering responsibilities.
What Determines Your Scrap Car Value
Several factors affect how much cash for junk cars you will receive:
Vehicle Weight
Scrap metal is sold by weight. Larger, heavier vehicles like trucks and SUVs typically fetch more than compact cars. The more metal, the higher the value.
Current Scrap Metal Prices
Metal prices fluctuate based on market conditions. Steel, aluminum, and copper all contribute to your vehicle scrap value. We base our offers on current market rates.
Vehicle Condition
Running vehicles with salvageable parts are worth more than completely non-functional cars. Working engines, transmissions, and other components add value.
Completeness
Vehicles with all parts intact are worth more than stripped cars. Missing catalytic converters, wheels, or major components reduce the offer price.
Year, Make, and Model
Some vehicles have parts in higher demand. Popular models may be worth more for parts salvage than pure scrap metal value.
Typical Scrap Car Values in Montreal
| Vehicle Type | Condition | Typical Range |

Why Choose Professional Scrap Car Removal
Free Towing Included
Many private buyers or junkyards expect you to deliver the vehicle yourself. If your car does not run, that means paying for a tow truck. Our junk car removal service includes free pickup, no matter where the vehicle is located in Montreal.
Same-Day Service
We understand that old car is taking up space. In most cases, we can schedule pickup within 24 hours. Need it gone today? We often accommodate same-day removal requests.
Cash on the Spot
No waiting for checks to clear or hoping a buyer follows through. You receive payment immediately when we pick up your vehicle.
No Negotiation Games
Our quote is our offer. We do not show up and try to haggle for a lower price. As long as the vehicle matches your description, you get the agreed amount.
Proper Documentation
We handle the transfer paperwork correctly, ensuring you are no longer legally responsible for the vehicle. This protects you from future liability issues.
Environmentally Responsible
Scrap vehicles are recycled properly. Fluids are drained and disposed of safely, hazardous materials are handled according to Quebec regulations, and recyclable metals are processed responsibly.
What You Need to Sell Your Scrap Car
Required Documents
- Vehicle title (certificate of ownership) – Proves you own the car
- Valid photo ID – Driver’s license or government ID
- Vehicle registration – Current or expired
No Title? We Can Still Help
Lost your title? In many cases, we can still purchase your vehicle with alternative documentation. You may need to obtain a replacement title from the SAAQ (Societe de l’assurance automobile du Quebec) or provide additional proof of ownership.
Before Pickup
- Remove personal belongings – Check the trunk, glove box, under seats
- Remove license plates – You will need to return these to SAAQ
- Cancel your insurance – After the sale is complete
- Have keys ready – Even if the car does not run, keys are helpful
Signs It Is Time to Scrap Your Car
Not sure if your vehicle is worth fixing or scrapping? Here are signs it is time for scrap car removal:
Repairs Cost More Than the Car Is Worth
If your mechanic quotes $3,000 in repairs for a car worth $2,000, scrapping makes financial sense.
Failed Quebec Safety Inspection
When repair costs to pass inspection exceed the vehicle value, it is time to let go.
Severe Rust Damage
Frame rust compromises structural integrity and safety. Once rust reaches critical components, the vehicle is beyond reasonable repair.
Major Mechanical Failure
Blown engines, failed transmissions, or multiple system failures often cost more to fix than the car is worth.
Accident Damage
After a serious collision, repair costs and diminished value often make scrapping the better option.
Vehicle Has Been Sitting for Years
Cars that sit unused develop problems. Seals dry out, batteries die, fuel systems clog, and brake components seize. After years of sitting, revival costs often exceed value.
