Check that the ordinary route fits
Use the provincial steps only after confirming your authority to sell and any outstanding interest. If another issue applies, review that situation too before arranging release.

Car Scrapping and Valuation Guides
Choose a guide for the decision you are making: preparing a sale, checking provincial paperwork or understanding a vehicle assessment. The province guides explain local procedures, while the valuation articles explain assumptions and the details that affect an offer.
Before you arrange collection
Which documents do you need to prepare?
Choose the province shown on the vehicle’s registration and the situation you need to resolve. You will see the records to prepare, the handover checks and the follow-up to confirm.
The pickup location may differ from the registration province. This guide helps you prepare questions and documents; it does not confirm authority to sell or complete a transfer.
Which provincial scrapping guide applies to your vehicle?
Use the guide for the relevant registration and transaction. Explain a vehicle registered in another province before applying a local checklist. A collection address and a registration record do not always belong to the same jurisdiction.
How do you prepare the sale and collection?
Start with the national sequence and preparation checklist. Check the insurance article when a policy or claim needs attention. These guides help you organize the vehicle and records before agreeing to handover.
Which guide explains your vehicle's value?
Use the value-factors guide to describe the car and the calculation guide to understand the arithmetic. An illustrative subtotal is not an individual purchase offer. The salvage-value article explains the financial term separately from the disposal process.
How do you compare recycling with other options?
Compare the vehicle’s condition and your practical requirements before choosing a route. The recycling and parts guides explain the related questions without assuming that every old car has the same best outcome.
Which guide resolves an unusual ownership or damage situation?
Choose the guide that matches the unresolved decision. These resources distinguish the authority to sell from the vehicle’s condition and explain when a lender, estate representative, insurer or public authority must be involved.

Are you ready to request an offer?
Use the free scrap car value calculator to provide the vehicle details for an assessment. You receive a phone call or email to discuss the offer. The enquiry does not display an instant price or confirm a pickup appointment.
Which practical resources help before and after a sale?
Compare the actual purchase conditions in the offer worksheet. If you already have loose components or fluids, use the provincial material directory and confirm the receiving location’s conditions.
The Canadian scrapping guide explains post-sale problems, interprovincial records and the distinction between seller and buyer tax responsibilities. Use the recall and repair checks if you are still deciding whether to keep the vehicle.
Your vehicle. Your decision.
