Getting a stuck car out of a Markham property
Junk cars tend to end up in the hardest places to reach. In Markham, that might be a garage off a rear laneway in Cornell, a narrow side drive beside a heritage home in Markham Village, a P3 parking spot in a Downtown Markham condo, or the back corner of a farm property up near Victoria Square. The car won't start, the tires are flat, and nobody wants to deal with it.
That's exactly the kind of job we're set up for. Our drivers winch cars that can't roll, use dollies when the wheels won't turn, and plan the approach before they arrive. You don't need to get the car running or push it to the curb. Just tell us where it is and what's wrong, and we'll handle the rest. Want to know how the tow stays free? See free car removal.

Pickup plans for tricky Markham locations
Different spots call for different approaches. Here's how we handle the common ones.
Rear laneways
In Cornell and other newer east-end neighbourhoods, garages open onto a back lane. That's usually the best place to load. Give us the lane entrance when you book, and check that no other vehicles or garbage bins will block the truck on pickup day.
Heritage driveways and detached garages
Older homes on and around Main Street Unionville and in Markham Village often have long, narrow driveways leading to a garage at the back. Measure the narrowest spot and mention any tight turns. If the truck can't get close, we'll winch the car out to the street.
Underground condo parking
Towers in Downtown Markham and along Highway 7 often have low ceilings. Send us the posted clearance and the parking level. We'll book a low-profile truck or arrange to bring the car up to street level, and you'll need to let building security know we're coming.
Farm lanes and fields
Rural properties in north Markham can mean gravel lanes, soft ground and cars that have sat in a field for a decade. Tell us how far the car is from the road and whether the ground is firm. After heavy rain, waiting a day can keep the truck from sinking.
Four steps to an empty driveway
Here's how a junk car pickup in Markham plays out.
-
Step 1: Tell us where it's stuck
Call (289) 349-2006 or fill in the form. Describe the car and exactly where it is: rear lane, garage, underground level or field. Mention keys, tires and anything blocking it. You'll get an offer in about 3 minutes.
-
Step 2: We plan the pickup
Based on what you tell us, we choose the right truck and equipment and agree on a time. Same-day removal is often possible if you call before noon; otherwise we'll book the next open slot.
-
Step 3: The driver gets it out
On pickup day, the driver checks access, then winches, dollies or drives the car onto the flatbed. Most removals take about 20–30 minutes, including the paperwork. Our non-running car service explains the equipment.
-
Step 4: You get paid
Show your ownership and ID, sign the bill of sale and take your cash on the spot. Remember to remove your licence plates, since they stay with you. The space is yours again.

Tell us if it's in a rear-lane garage, a detached garage at the end of a long Unionville driveway, a particular condo parking level, or a field behind a farmhouse. A nearby landmark, like Toogood Pond, CF Markville or Markham Stouffville Hospital, also helps the driver find you.

Junk car questions from Markham residents
Still have a question? Call (289) 349-2006 and ask a real person.
Can you remove a junk car from my rear laneway in Cornell?
Yes. Rear lanes are usually the easiest spot for us. Give us the lane entrance and garage location, make sure the lane isn't blocked by bins or other cars on pickup day, and the driver will load the car right there.
Do I need to get the car running before you come?
No. We remove cars that don't start, don't roll and haven't moved in years. The driver uses a winch and, when needed, wheel dollies. Just tell us what works and what doesn't so we bring the right equipment.
How much do you pay for a junk car in Markham?
Most junk cars in Markham fetch $300 to $2,000, depending on size, missing parts and current scrap metal rates. Heavier vehicles and cars with working parts earn more. Call (289) 349-2006 with the details and you'll have a firm figure in about 3 minutes.
Can you tow a car from an underground garage in Downtown Markham?
Often, yes. It depends on the ceiling height and the ramp. Send us the posted clearance and parking level, and we'll plan the right truck or arrange to bring the car up. Let building management know before we arrive.
Will you remove a car someone abandoned on my property?
Only if the paperwork allows it. We can buy a car from its owner or from someone legally authorized to sell it. If someone else left a car on your property, call us and we'll explain what you'd need before we can take it.
Can I leave junk inside the car?
Please don't. Remove personal items, garbage and anything valuable before pickup. Loose items shift during towing, and anything left behind can't be returned. Spare tires and parts that belong to the car can usually stay; ask us when you call.
Do you remove junk cars on weekends?
Saturdays, yes. We work Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., so a weekend pickup or an evening slot after work is usually easy to arrange. We don't pick up on Sundays.
Can you remove more than one junk car at a time?
Yes. Clearing out a property with two or three dead vehicles? We'll quote them together and can often take them in one trip, depending on access and truck space. Each vehicle needs its own ownership, so gather those before pickup day.
My car is at a Markham repair shop. Can you pick it up there?
Yes. If you've decided not to repair it, we can collect it straight from the shop. Settle any bill with the garage, let them know we're coming, and plan to meet the driver there to sign and get paid.
