Is your King vehicle ready for scrap?
Plenty of vehicles in King reach the end slowly. A farm truck gets parked after the transmission starts slipping. A car that was going to be fixed next spring sits through three more winters. By the time anyone looks at it again, the tires have cracked and the brakes have seized.
It's usually time to scrap when:
- repairs would cost more than the vehicle is worth
- the frame or floor has rusted through
- it hasn't run in years and nobody knows why
- it was written off after a collision or a deer strike
If it still runs well, you may get more by selling it as a used car instead. Our scrap vs sell vs trade-in guide can help you decide. If it's done, we'll handle the scrap car removal and pay you for the metal.
Scrap car removal in King City in 3 steps
From quote to tow truck in three steps.
-
Step 1: Tell us what you've got
Call (289) 349-2006 or use the form. Give us the year, make and model, how long it's been parked, and what's missing or broken. You'll get a firm scrap price in about 3 minutes, with no obligation.
-
Step 2: Choose your pickup day
Pick a time that suits you. Calls before noon can usually be picked up the same day in King City, Nobleton or Schomberg. We'll ask about gates, laneways and where the vehicle sits.
-
Step 3: Sign, get cash, we haul it
Show your ownership and ID, sign the bill of sale and take your cash. The driver winches the vehicle onto the truck and takes it to a licensed Ontario recycler for dismantling.
What happens at the recycler
Here's the path your scrap vehicle follows after it leaves King.
Draining every fluid
First, the recycler pumps out the fuel, engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid and washer fluid. A technician recovers the air-conditioning refrigerant with special equipment so it doesn't escape. This is the step that protects soil and water, which matters a lot on the Oak Ridges Moraine.
Pulling hazardous parts
Next, the battery comes out so its lead can be recycled, and the catalytic converter is removed for its precious metals. Tires are taken off and sent for recycling too. On older vehicles, mercury switches for the hood and trunk lights are removed.
Saving reusable parts
Anything still useful is pulled and cleaned up for resale: engines, transmissions, alternators, starters, doors, mirrors and lights. Reusing a part means one less new part has to be made, and it keeps repair costs down for other drivers.
Crushing and shredding
Finally, the stripped body is flattened and fed through a shredder. Magnets and sorting machines split the pieces into steel, aluminum and other metals, which head to mills. Around 75–80% of a typical vehicle by weight can be recycled. More in how car recycling works.
Scrap prices for King vehicles
Scrap vehicles in King typically bring $300 to $2,000. We pay at least $300 for a sedan and at least $500 for a pickup, and big farm trucks often earn more because of their weight. Our guide to what a scrap car is worth goes deeper.

How to get the most for your car
- Leave the vehicle whole; we pay for the complete car.
- Mention a diesel engine, four-wheel drive or a heavy-duty frame.
- Have the ownership ready so pickup isn't delayed.
- Tell us if there's a second scrap vehicle on the property, so we can quote both together.
Getting your scrap vehicle ready
Before the truck arrives, run through this list. Ten minutes of prep the night before keeps the visit short.
- Ownership (vehicle permit) Find it and make sure the name matches your photo ID.
- Photo ID Any valid government ID with your photo on it.
- Licence plates Remove them; in Ontario plates belong to you, so keep them or return them to ServiceOntario.
- Personal items Check the cab, glovebox, under the seats and the truck bed.
- Access Open gates, move equipment and mark the vehicle if it's out of sight from the lane.
- Keys Leave every key out, even if the vehicle doesn't run.

Scrap questions from King vehicle owners
Still have a question? Call (289) 349-2006 and ask a real person.
What's the least you'll pay for a scrap vehicle in King?
Our minimums are $300 for a scrap sedan, coupe or hatchback, $500 for an SUV or minivan and $500 for a pickup. Heavier trucks and vehicles with good parts often get more. Prices depend on current scrap metal rates.
Can I scrap a truck that hasn't been on the road for years?
Yes. Time off the road doesn't matter. We need the ownership in your name and your ID, and we'll bring a winch for flat tires and seized brakes. The truck doesn't need plates or a fresh battery.
Do I need a safety certificate to scrap a car?
No. You don't need a safety certificate to scrap a vehicle or sell it to us in Ontario. Just have the ownership and your photo ID ready, and take off your plates.
How far into a field can your truck go?
That depends on the ground. On firm, dry ground, the driver can get fairly close and winch the rest of the way. In spring or after heavy rain, we'll usually wait for it to dry so the truck doesn't sink or rut your field.
What if the vehicle is missing its engine?
We'll still buy it. A shell without an engine is worth less, but the steel and remaining parts still have value. Tell us what's missing so your quote is accurate on pickup day.
Will you scrap a vehicle registered to a farm business?
Yes. Bring proof that you're allowed to sell on the business's behalf, such as a signed letter from an owner or officer. Call ahead and we'll confirm what's needed. We also buy working commercial vehicles.
Can you take more than one scrap vehicle from my property?
Yes. Older farms in King sometimes have two or three retired vehicles tucked away. We'll quote each one, and we can usually take them in one visit or over a couple of days.
Do you scrap vehicles damaged in a barn or garage fire?
Yes. Fire-damaged vehicles are scrapped for their metal. Tell us how badly it burned and whether the fire reached the engine bay, so we can price it fairly. Make sure your insurer and the fire department are finished with it first.
How do I know the vehicle is recycled properly?
Every scrap vehicle we buy goes to a licensed Ontario recycler, where fluids are drained and parts recovered before the body is shredded. You'll keep a signed bill of sale showing when it left your hands.
