Scrap car removal in Brampton for cars that are done
Every scrap car has a story. In Brampton, it's often a work pickup that has hauled tools to job sites for years, a family sedan that finally failed safety after one winter too many, or a car that's sat since its owner started taking Züm to work. Whatever the reason, there comes a point where the car costs more than it gives back.
Keeping it isn't free, either. Brampton insurance rates make even a parked, insured car expensive, and a dead car on a crowded driveway means someone else ends up hunting for parking. Scrapping turns that problem into cash.
Scrapping usually makes sense when:
- Repairs would cost more than the car is worth.
- The frame, floor or brake lines are badly rusted.
- It needs a major part, like an engine or transmission.
- It hasn't been driven in months and isn't likely to be.
From quote to cash: scrapping your car in Brampton
Three steps, and the car is off your hands.
-
Step 1: Get a scrap quote
Tell us the year, make, model and what's wrong, by phone at (289) 349-2006 or through the form. We work out the price from weight, parts and current metal rates, and you'll have a firm figure in about 3 minutes.
-
Step 2: We come to you
Pick a pickup time anywhere in Brampton. Remove your plates and personal things, and have your ownership (vehicle permit) ready. Flat tires, no keys or no battery are fine, because our trucks are set up for dead cars.
-
Step 3: Paid and recycled
The driver checks the car, you sign the bill of sale and you're paid in cash on the spot. The car is then taken to a licensed Ontario recycler, and there's nothing else you need to arrange.

- Have the ownership ready so the pickup isn't delayed.
Getting your car ready for scrap pickup
A few minutes of prep makes pickup day fast.
- Unbolt the plates In Ontario, plates belong to you, not the car, so keep them or return them to ServiceOntario.
- Search the car Check the trunk, glove box, door pockets and under the seats for anything you want to keep.
- Pull transponders and remotes Remove any 407 ETR transponder and garage door opener before the tow.
- Find the paperwork Have the ownership and matching photo ID ready to sign.
- Round up the keys Bring every key and fob you can find, even if the car doesn't start.
- Make room Shift other vehicles and bins so the truck can reach the car.
- Leave the fluids Don't drain fuel or oil; the recycler removes them safely.
- Hold off on cancelling insurance Cancel coverage after pickup, using the date on your bill of sale.
From a Brampton driveway to the recycling yard
Here's what happens to your car once it's on our truck.
Fluids and hazards first
At the licensed recycler, every fluid is drained: oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, fuel and A/C refrigerant. The battery and the catalytic converter are removed and sent to their own recycling streams. Nothing is left to leak.
Parts get a second life
Engines, transmissions, alternators, lights and body panels that still work are pulled and sold to garages and drivers who need them. That keeps other cars on the road longer and means fewer new parts have to be made.
The metal goes back to the mills
Whatever is left is crushed and shredded. Steel, aluminum and other materials are separated and sold to mills to become new products. Around 75–80% of a typical vehicle by weight can be recycled.

Scrap car removal Brampton FAQs
Still have a question? Call (289) 349-2006 and ask a real person.
How much is the minimum for a scrap car in Brampton?
We pay at least $300 for a scrap sedan, coupe or hatchback, at least $500 for an SUV or minivan, and at least $500 for a pickup. Most scrap cars in Brampton sell for $300 to $2,000, depending on weight and parts.
Can you scrap a car with no engine or transmission?
Yes. A car without its engine or transmission still has steel, wheels and other parts worth money. The offer will be lower than for a complete car, but we'll still pay you and tow it away free.
How do I know my car will actually be recycled?
Every scrap car we buy goes to a licensed Ontario recycler, which must follow provincial rules for draining fluids and handling hazardous parts. Your signed bill of sale shows the car changed hands, so it's no longer your responsibility.
Can I scrap a car that's still registered and plated?
Yes. Take the plates off before we arrive and keep them, along with the plate portion of your permit. The vehicle portion is signed over to us at pickup, so the sale itself is straightforward.
Is it worth scrapping a car in winter?
Yes. Scrap value comes from weight, parts and metal prices, not the season. Getting a dead car off a Brampton driveway before the snow flies also makes plowing and shovelling easier, and if it's already snowed in, we can still get it.
Do you buy old work trucks for scrap?
Yes, and they often pay well. Pickups and cargo vans from Brampton trades and logistics businesses carry a lot of steel. Even with a seized engine or a rusted box, a heavy truck usually earns more than a small car.
Do I need to be home when the scrap car is picked up?
Yes, or someone you've authorized must be. They'll sign the bill of sale and receive the cash. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes, so an evening or Saturday slot works well if your weekdays are busy.
Will you buy a scrap car that's missing its catalytic converter?
Yes. Converter theft is a common problem around the GTA. A car without one is worth less, since the converter holds valuable metals, but it still has plenty of steel and other parts. Tell us it's gone when you call so the quote is accurate.
Can you pick up a scrap car from an apartment or condo lot in Brampton?
Yes. Tell us the building, the parking level and any height limit if the spot is underground. For surface lots, just make sure the car isn't boxed in. Let your property manager know a tow truck is coming so there's no confusion.
