Cash For Cars: Frequently Asked Questions
Does the calculator give an instant price?

The free scrap car value calculator collects details for a human assessment. You receive a phone call or email to discuss an offer. The page’s price examples illustrate possible assumptions; they are not live rates or a fixed offer for your car.
Is towing free?

Free towing is included with an accepted Cash For Cars purchase. Confirm the collection address, access and appointment when arranging the sale. Explain missing wheels, locked steering or restricted garage access before booking so that the collection can be planned for the actual vehicle.
Is same-day pickup available?

Same-day pickup is often available within British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec. Location, access and appointment availability determine whether it is possible for your enquiry. Confirm a collection time rather than treating the submission of a form as a booking.
Can you enquire about a car that does not run?

You can enquire about a non-running car by describing its condition and location. State whether it rolls and steers, and list missing components. Our vehicle buying guide explains the information needed for damaged, incomplete and other vehicle enquiries.
When is the purchase amount confirmed?

The purchase amount is confirmed after the vehicle is inspected at collection. Review any difference from the initial offer before deciding whether to proceed. You receive cash on the spot when you accept the confirmed amount and complete the purchase.
What if the ownership documents are missing?

Explain which documents are missing before arranging collection. The authority to sell still has to be established. Follow the relevant provincial process rather than assuming that an old or damaged vehicle can be sold without resolving ownership. Our Canadian scrapping guide provides starting points.
Do you remove belongings or drain the car yourself?

Remove personal belongings and organise access before the appointment. You do not have to dismantle the car or drain fluids for a normal collection enquiry. The preparation checklist explains the practical steps and what to confirm before handover.
What affects how much a buyer offers?

Vehicle type, condition, missing parts, recoverable materials and collection requirements affect the assessment. The same model can receive different offers in different circumstances. Read the value factors guide before comparing amounts, and give each buyer the same description of your vehicle.
Where do you check provincial paperwork and recycling information?

Start with the Canadian scrapping guide and follow the relevant provincial guidance. Keep a completed sale record and check the remaining registration and insurance steps. The vehicle recycling guide explains what happens to components and materials after a vehicle enters the recycling process.
