What Is Scrap Car Removal?

Scrap car removal is a simple way to sell and remove a vehicle that is no longer useful to you. Your vehicle may be old, damaged, no longer running, or too expensive to repair.

Norman Towing can arrange pickup and removal for vehicles such as:

  • Old cars
  • Accident-damaged vehicles
  • Non-running vehicles
  • Vehicles with engine problems
  • Vehicles with transmission problems
  • Cars missing certain parts
  • Unwanted vehicles
  • High-mileage vehicles
  • Vehicles that are no longer worth repairing

Get Cash for Your Unwanted Car

Your old vehicle may still have value even if it no longer runs.

The amount offered can depend on several factors, including:

  • Year
  • Make and model
  • Vehicle condition
  • Mileage
  • Missing parts
  • Current scrap value
  • Whether the vehicle can roll
  • Pickup location

Send us your vehicle details and photos when possible. We can then provide a quote based on the information you provide.

Scrap Car Pickup Services

Getting rid of an unwanted vehicle should not require you to arrange a separate tow. Norman Towing provides scrap car pickup services for qualifying vehicles as part of the removal process.

Free Scrap Car Pickup

Qualifying scrap vehicles may be eligible for free towing as part of the removal service.

Once the quote and pickup are confirmed, our tow truck can collect the vehicle from locations such as:

  • Driveways
  • Homes
  • Apartments or condominiums
  • Repair shops
  • Parking lots
  • Storage facilities
  • Commercial properties

Same-Day Scrap Car Pickup

Need your vehicle removed quickly?

Same-day pickup may be available depending on your location, vehicle condition, and scheduling availability.

When contacting us, provide:

  • Vehicle year
  • Make and model
  • Pickup location
  • Vehicle condition
  • Whether the vehicle rolls
  • Photos, if available

We will let you know the earliest available pickup time.

What Types of Vehicles Do We Buy?

We can consider many different types of vehicles for scrap car removal, including older, damaged, and unwanted vehicles.

These may include:

  • Sedans
  • Coupes
  • SUVs
  • Pickup trucks
  • Minivans
  • Cargo vans
  • High-mileage vehicles
  • Non-running vehicles
  • Accident-damaged vehicles
  • Vehicles missing parts

If you are unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, contact us with the vehicle details.

Non-Running Cars

A vehicle does not need to be running to have scrap value.

We can arrange pickup for vehicles with issues such as:

  • Dead engines
  • Transmission problems
  • Electrical problems
  • Flat or damaged tires
  • Long-term mechanical problems

Let us know whether the vehicle can roll and steer before pickup so we can prepare the appropriate towing equipment.

Accident-Damaged Cars

An accident-damaged vehicle may still have value even when the cost of repairs is no longer practical.

Norman Towing can arrange pickup for vehicles that have been involved in collisions and transport them for appropriate processing.

If the vehicle has significant damage, let us know:

  • Whether the wheels move
  • Whether the steering works
  • Whether the airbags deployed
  • Whether parts are loose
  • Whether the vehicle can be accessed by a tow truck

Cars With Missing Parts

A vehicle may still have value even when certain components are missing.

Examples include:

  • Engine parts
  • Transmission components
  • Wheels
  • Battery
  • Interior parts
  • Body panels

Missing components may affect the vehicle's value, so provide as much information as possible when requesting a quote.

How to Scrap a Car in Ontario

Scrapping a vehicle in Ontario can be straightforward when you have the necessary information and documentation ready.

Tell Us About Your Vehicle

Provide the year, make, model, condition, and pickup location. Photos can also help us understand the vehicle's condition.

Receive a Quote

We review the information you provide and determine an offer based on the vehicle and current market factors.

Confirm the Pickup

Once you accept the quote, arrange an available pickup time that works for you.

Remove Your Belongings

Before the vehicle is collected, check the glove box, trunk, centre console, and other storage areas for personal belongings.

Have Proof of Ownership Ready

The seller should be able to provide appropriate documentation showing that they own the vehicle or are legally authorized to sell or dispose of it.

Complete the Pickup

Our tow truck collects the vehicle, and the transaction is completed according to the agreed terms.

What Documents Do I Need?

Before selling a scrap vehicle, you should be able to show that you own the vehicle or are legally authorized to dispose of it.

Have your vehicle ownership information and personal identification available.

If your ownership document is missing or the vehicle is registered to someone else, let us know before scheduling the pickup so we can discuss the requirements.

What Happens to a Scrap Car After Pickup?

After pickup, the vehicle can be transported for dismantling, reuse of suitable components, and recycling of recyclable materials.

Depending on the vehicle, recyclable or reusable materials may include:

  • Steel
  • Aluminum
  • Glass
  • Rubber
  • Plastics
  • Batteries
  • Other reusable vehicle components

Proper vehicle processing can help recover useful materials while reducing unnecessary waste.

How Is Scrap Car Value Calculated?

There is no single price for every scrap vehicle.

The value can depend on factors such as:

  • Vehicle type
  • Year and model
  • Overall condition
  • Vehicle weight
  • Missing components
  • Parts value
  • Scrap metal value
  • Current market conditions
  • Pickup requirements

This means two vehicles of the same age can receive different offers.

For a more accurate quote, provide as much information as possible along with photos of the vehicle.

Why Scrap an Old Vehicle?

Keeping an unwanted vehicle can create ongoing expenses and take up valuable space.

You may be paying for:

  • Repairs
  • Insurance
  • Parking
  • Storage
  • Maintenance
  • Registration-related costs

If a vehicle is no longer practical to repair or maintain, scrap car removal can be an option for getting it off your property while potentially recovering some of its remaining value.
