That car isn't going to move itself
Every street has one: the car that hasn't moved since last winter. In Richmond Hill, it might be a sedan under a tarp beside a Richvale bungalow, a project car that never got finished in a Westbrook garage, or a dead hatchback taking up a precious visitor spot in a townhouse complex off Bayview. Condo boards and townhouse associations often have rules about vehicles that don't run, and neighbours notice.
Getting rid of it is easier than most people expect. You don't need to get it running, pump up the tires or hire a tow company. One call gets you a price, and our driver handles the rest, from winching it out of a tight spot to strapping it onto the flatbed. You get paid, and the space is yours again. If you just want it gone, our free car removal service explains how the tow works at no cost to you.
Junk car situations we handle in Richmond Hill
If any of these sound familiar, we can help. Tell us which one applies when you call so we send the right truck.
- No keys Lost keys don't stop the sale as long as you can prove the car is yours.
- Flat or missing tires We use wheel dollies or a winch to move cars that can't roll on their own.

- Buried in snow Clear enough snow to reach the car and open a door, and we'll handle the rest.
- Underground parking Cars stuck on a lower level of a condo tower near Yonge and Highway 7 can be removed with a little planning.
- Backyard or side yard If there's a gate wide enough for the car, there's usually a way to get it out.

How the tow works in tight spots
Most junk cars are easy to reach. These are the ones that take a little planning.
Condo and underground garages
Many newer towers near Yonge and Highway 7 have low ceilings and tight ramps. Tell us the building, the parking level and the clearance height if it's posted. We'll send a low-profile truck or arrange to bring the car up to street level first. Let building management know a tow is booked.
Townhouse lanes and visitor parking
Townhouse complexes across Richmond Hill often have narrow private roads and strict parking rules. We load quickly and keep the lane clear for your neighbours. If the junk car is in a garage with another vehicle in front of it, move that one out before we arrive.
Long or sloped driveways
Some properties in Oak Ridges and around Lake Wilcox sit well back from the road, on gravel or a hill. Our winch can pull a car a good distance, but tell us how far it is from the road and whether the ground is soft. After a wet spring, waiting a day or two can save your lawn.
Winter pickups
We pick up all winter. Clear a path to the car, dig out enough snow to open a door and reach the front bumper, and make sure the driveway is plowed. A car frozen in place is fine too; the winch does the work. See our non-running car service for more.
Junk car removal in Richmond Hill, step by step
Here's what happens between your first call and an empty driveway.
-
Step 1: Describe the car and where it is
Call (289) 349-2006 or use our form. Tell us what's wrong with the car and exactly where it's parked: driveway, backyard, underground level or townhouse lot. The more we know about access, the smoother the pickup goes. You'll have an offer in about 3 minutes.
-
Step 2: We send the right truck
Book a time that works for you. If you call before noon, same-day removal is often possible. For tight spots, we match the truck to the job, from a flatbed with a winch for a backyard to a lower-profile truck for a parking garage.
-
Step 3: Sign, get paid, wave goodbye
The driver confirms the car, you show your ownership and ID and sign the bill of sale, and you're paid cash on the spot. Pull your plates first. Most junk car removals take about 20–30 minutes from arrival to departure.

Help the driver find the car
Tell us where the car actually sits, not just the street address. Is it behind the house, in a detached garage, on parking level P2 or in a visitor spot near the complex entrance? For homes on busy stretches of Yonge Street, Bayview Avenue or Major Mackenzie Drive, we'll plan the safest place to stop the truck. Landmarks like Mill Pond Park or Lake Wilcox Park help on streets that are hard to find.

Junk car removal FAQs for Richmond Hill
Still have a question? Call (289) 349-2006 and ask a real person.
Can you remove a junk car with no keys in Richmond Hill?
Yes. Many of the junk cars we collect have no keys. As long as you have the ownership and photo ID, we can buy it. If the steering is locked or the car won't go into neutral, the driver simply winches it onto the flatbed.
Will you take a car with flat tires or seized brakes?
Yes. Flat tires, seized brakes and rusted wheels are normal on cars that have sat for a while. We use a winch and, when needed, wheel dollies to move the car. Mention these problems when you call so the driver comes prepared.
Can you get a car out of a backyard?
Usually, yes. If the car fits through a gate or along the side of the house, our driver can winch it out to the truck. Measure the narrowest point and mention any slopes, fences or soft lawn. Some Richmond Hill backyards need a dry day to avoid ruts.
My condo says the car has to go. How fast can you move it?
Often the same day if you call before noon, and usually within a day or two otherwise. Send us the building address, parking level and clearance height. We'll set a time, and you or someone authorized needs to meet the driver to sign and get paid.
Do you pay for junk cars or charge to remove them?
We pay you. Junk cars still have value in their steel and parts, so you get cash at pickup and the tow is free. Most junk cars in Richmond Hill bring $300 to $2,000, depending on weight, condition and current scrap metal rates.
Can I sell a junk car that belonged to my parents?
Yes, with the right paperwork. If the owner has passed away, the executor usually needs estate documents plus the ownership. If your parent is alive but can't be there, call us and we'll explain what's needed. Our guide on selling a deceased family member's car covers the basics.
Do you remove junk cars in Oak Ridges and Lake Wilcox?
Yes. We cover all of Oak Ridges and the streets around Lake Wilcox, including properties on bigger lots. Towing is free there, just like the rest of Richmond Hill. Tell us if the driveway is long, gravel or steep so we send a truck that can handle it.
Will the tow truck damage my driveway or lawn?
We take care to avoid it. Flatbeds are heavy, so on soft lawns or fresh asphalt we'll winch the car to the truck rather than drive onto the grass. Tell us about interlock, newly sealed driveways or a septic bed, and the driver will plan around them.
