Junk cars and Scarborough driveways
In a district where most families need a car, junk cars pile up quietly. A household replaces the minivan but keeps the old one just in case. A son leaves for school and his first car stays behind with a dead battery. A parent passes away and the sedan sits in the garage while the family sorts out the house. Before long, the car is a lawn ornament with flat tires.
It's not just an eyesore. A car that leaks oil stains your driveway, can draw complaints and takes up space you could use. We'll take it away in a single visit, even if it hasn't moved in years, and pay you for it on the spot.
You don't need to do anything to the car first. No jump-start, no new tires and no cleaning up the oil stain. Just tell us where it is and what's wrong with it.
Junk car removal in Scarborough: 3 easy steps
From first call to empty driveway, here's what happens.
-
Step 1: Call with the details
Phone (289) 349-2006 or fill in the form. Tell us the year, make and model, what's wrong and how the car is parked: beside the house, in the garage, in a townhouse lot or out back. You'll get a firm offer in about 3 minutes.
-
Step 2: We schedule the tow
Pick a day that suits you. Calls before noon can usually get a same-day pickup in Scarborough. We'll plan the right equipment for the spot and call you before the driver arrives.
-
Step 3: Get paid, car gone
Once the driver has matched the car to your description and you've signed, you're paid in cash. The car is winched or rolled onto the truck, and in about half an hour your driveway is clear again.
How we tow junk cars from Scarborough properties
Scarborough has lots of space, but junk cars still end up in awkward places. Here's how we handle them.
Side of the driveway or out back
Many postwar bungalows in Wexford, Bendale and West Hill have long driveways, and older cars often end up at the far end or on the lawn behind. If a truck can get close, the driver winches the car on. If not, it's rolled out on dollies. Tell us about soft ground or gates.
Townhouse visitor and resident spots
Complexes in Malvern, Agincourt and L'Amoreaux often have rules about trucks and long-parked cars. Tell us the complex, check whether management wants notice, and we'll keep the pickup quick and tidy.
Underground garages
Towers along Kingston Road, Markham Road and around Scarborough Town Centre often have low clearances. Give us the building, level and posted height, and we'll bring the right setup or move the car to the surface first.
Street and curbside
If the car is on the street, we load it right at the curb. In winter, clear the snowbank the plow left along the side of the car so the driver can reach the wheels and hook it up safely.
Junk car situations we take care of in Scarborough

Your options for a junk car in Scarborough
Here's how a direct sale compares with listing a dead car or towing it to a scrapyard yourself.
| Feature | Top Cash 4 Cars | Private sale (Kijiji / Marketplace) | Dealer trade-in | Driving it to a scrapyard |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free towing | Yes, always | No | Rarely | You get it there |
| Buys non-running cars | Yes | Rarely | Almost never | Yes |
| Paid on the spot | Yes, cash | Depends on the buyer | Credit toward a new car | Yes |
| Time to sell | Same day in most areas | Weeks | 1–3 days | Your schedule |
| Paperwork handled | Yes | You do it | Yes | Partly |
| Beat-any-offer guarantee | Yes | No | No | No |
| Risk of no-shows or scams | None | High | Low | None |
A car that won't run is hard to sell on Kijiji, and private buyers rarely want to arrange the towing themselves. Paying a tow company to haul it to a scrapyard eats into what it's worth. With us, the tow is free and the cash is yours.
What happens to your junk car after we tow it
A junk car from Scarborough doesn't end up in a field. It goes to a licensed Ontario recycler, where the fluids are drained, usable parts are pulled for resale and the metal is shredded so it can be made into something new. By weight, around 75–80% of a typical vehicle can be recycled.
That's a far better ending than a car slowly leaking oil into the soil behind a West Hill bungalow. Once it's processed, the car is gone for good and won't come back to bother you. See how our auto recycling works for the full process.
Junk car removal Scarborough: FAQs
Still have a question? Call (289) 349-2006 and ask a real person.
Can you take a car that's been sitting on my lawn?
Yes. If the truck can't drive onto the grass, the driver can winch the car across or move it on dollies. Tell us about soft ground, gates and fences so we can plan the best approach before we arrive.
Can you get a car out from behind a gate or fence?
Yes, as long as you can open it for the driver. Tell us how wide the gate is and whether there's a step, curb or tight turn on the way out. If the opening is too narrow for the car, we'll talk through options before pickup day.
The car has no keys and two flat tires. Is that a problem?
No. That combination is common with junk cars. The driver uses wheel dollies or a winch to load it. You'll just need to show the ownership and photo ID so we know you can sell it.
Will you take a car that's leaking oil?
Yes. Mention the leak when you book. The recycler drains all fluids safely, and the sooner the car goes, the less oil ends up on your driveway or running toward the storm drain.
Can you haul away a junk car in winter?
Yes, we work through the winter. After a snowfall, clear around the wheels and any plow ridge at the end of the driveway. Ice and deep snow can slow things down, so we may adjust the arrival window.
I'm clearing out my parents' house. Can the car go the same week?
Usually, yes. Call as soon as you know the closing date, and have the ownership and estate papers ready. Our guide for estate vehicles explains what's typically needed.
How long will the tow truck be at my house?
Usually about 20–30 minutes. Most of that is loading, and the paperwork takes only a few minutes. Cars in tight spots, like the far end of a long driveway or behind a gate, can take a little longer.
Can I get rid of a car that isn't registered in my name?
Only with the owner's written permission or the right documents. If the car belonged to a parent or spouse, call us first and we'll explain what's needed. We can't take a car from someone who doesn't have the right to sell it.
Is there any cost to me at all?
No. Towing is free anywhere in Scarborough, and there are no fees deducted at pickup. The offer we give you is what you're paid.
