A junk car is a vehicle that's no longer safe, practical, or cost-effective to drive due to major mechanical failure, extensive damage, high mileage, or age. This includes cars that have been in serious accidents, have blown engines or transmissions, have significant rust or frame damage, don't pass inspection, or would cost more to repair than they're worth. Even if a car doesn't run, has no title, or is missing parts, it can still be sold as a junk car for cash.

• Repair costs exceed the car's value – if a quote comes back higher than what the car is worth, repairing rarely makes financial sense
• Failed inspection or emissions test – especially if fixing the issue requires expensive parts
• Persistent mechanical issues – recurring engine, transmission, or electrical problems that keep coming back after repairs
• Frame or structural damage – from an accident, flooding, or rust that compromises safety
• High mileage combined with age – older high-mileage vehicles often hit a point where multiple systems fail around the same time
• Rising cost of ownership frequent breakdowns, towing bills, and rental car costs while it's in the shop
• No longer starts reliably or at all and diagnosis shows a costly fix (engine replacement, etc.)
• Rust has spread to the frame or floor pan a safety issue, not just cosmetic

A junk car in Mississauga is typically worth between $200 and $15,000+, depending on its make, model, condition, weight, and current scrap metal prices.

Yes, significantly. Scrap cars are sold by weight to metal recyclers, so a heavier vehicle produces more revenue and allows us to offer more upfront. A full-size pickup truck or large SUV will almost always fetch more than a subcompact sedan in equivalent condition. That said, weight is only one factor — a lighter car with high-demand parts can still command a strong price.

You need your vehicle permit — what most people call the ownership. It must be in your name, or you must have valid legal authority to act on behalf of the registered owner. If yours is lost or damaged, a replacement can be obtained through ServiceOntario.

Yes, completely and unconditionally. There is no minimum offer threshold and no distance limit. Towing is included in every pickup we do, for every customer, in every part of our service area. The cash figure we quote you is the cash figure you receive — towing costs nothing extra.

Without exception. A large portion of the vehicles we pick up every week do not run. Dead battery, no engine, missing drivetrain, seized brakes — none of these are obstacles. Our tow trucks are equipped to handle vehicles that cannot be driven, rolled, or that have no wheels at all.

It goes to our licensed Mississauga facility, where all fluids are drained and disposed of according to Ontario Environmental Protection Act requirements. Parts with resale value are carefully removed. What remains is crushed and sent to a metal recycler, where it becomes raw material for new steel production. Roughly 80% of the average vehicle's material is recycled

Ontario plates belong to you, not the vehicle. Before handing over the car, remove both plates. You can transfer them to another vehicle you own, or return them to ServiceOntario to cancel the registration and stop being billed for insurance and plate sticker renewals.

Payment is made on the spot when we pick up your vehicle. We offer various payment methods including cash, cheque, or electronic transfer, based on what is most convenient for you.

es, we can remove multiple cars at a time. If you have more than one vehicle you would like to scrap, let us know so we can make the necessary arrangements

Yes, in most cases, proof of ownership is required before a vehicle can be legally sold or scrapped. If you have the vehicle title or ownership document, the process is usually straightforward.
