Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about scrap car removal, metal recycling, and auto wrecking in Surrey and the Lower Mainland.
Scrap Car Removal Questions
Do I need my ICBC papers to scrap my car?
You do not need the physical BC title. As a Registered Used Car Dealer, we handle the ICBC transfer directly. Have your plate number, ownership info, and government-issued photo ID ready at pickup.
How much cash will I get for my scrap car?
Prices are based on the vehicle’s weight, current ferrous metal market rates, and recoverable parts like the catalytic converter. Call 236-864-9966 for a free, no-obligation scrap car appraisal. Typical payouts range from $100 to several hundred dollars.
Do you pick up cars that don’t run?
Yes — we pick up all vehicles regardless of condition. Flat tires, no engine, collision-damaged, flooded — we tow them all for free using flatbed trucks.
How quickly can you pick up my car?
Same-day removal is available in most Surrey and Lower Mainland areas when you call before noon. Next-day appointments are always available.
Do I need to remove my license plates?
Yes — remove your plates and return them to ICBC or an Autoplan broker to cancel your insurance before pickup. We handle the vehicle de-registration.
Metal Recycling Questions
What metals do you buy?
We buy all ferrous metals (steel, iron, cast iron) and non-ferrous metals including copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, lead, and zinc. We also purchase appliances, catalytic converters, and vehicle batteries.
How do you calculate scrap metal prices?
Scrap metal prices are based on current market rates derived from the London Metal Exchange (LME) and local market conditions. Non-ferrous metals are priced per pound; ferrous metals per tonne. Call 236-864-9966 for today’s prices.
Do I need an appointment to drop off metal?
Walk-ins are always welcome at 10942 Olsen Rd, Surrey. For large commercial loads, calling ahead helps us prepare for faster service.
Do you buy catalytic converters?
Yes — we purchase catalytic converters at prices based on current platinum group metal (PGM) spot prices. Valid government-issued photo ID is required by BC law for all catalytic converter sales.
Auto Wrecking & Parts Questions
Do you sell used auto parts?
Yes — our Surrey salvage yard carries a wide inventory of used auto parts at 50–80% off new OEM prices. Call 236-864-9966 to check part availability for your year/make/model.
How do I find a specific used part?
Call 236-864-9966 with the year, make, model, and part description. Our team will check our current inventory immediately.
