Getting rid of a junk car in Stoney Creek
Junk cars turn up in every part of Stoney Creek. It might be an old sedan in a detached garage near Battlefield Park, a minivan with a seized engine taking up a townhouse driveway in upper Stoney Creek, or a pickup that hasn't moved from a Vinemount farm lane in years.
Whatever the story, the fix is the same. We send a truck, load the car and pay you before we leave. The car doesn't have to run, roll or have keys. Towing is free, there's no disposal fee, and the whole visit usually takes less than half an hour.
It's especially handy when you're up against a deadline: listing your house, handing back a rental or settling a parent's estate. One call, and the space is yours again.

Access notes for junk car pickups
Lower Stoney Creek is quick for us to reach from the QEW, so driveway and garage pickups near Queenston Road or King Street are usually straightforward. Upper Stoney Creek means a climb up the escarpment, and in winter that can mean slick grades on the way.
In newer subdivisions, driveways are short and close together, so tell us if a neighbour's car or a shared driveway could get in the way. On farm properties, let us know about gates and soft ground.
Not sure if you're covered? Give us a call and we'll check your address. (289) 349-2006

How we tow junk cars in tight Stoney Creek spots
A few common setups and how we deal with them.
Short townhouse driveways
Many newer homes in upper Stoney Creek have driveways barely longer than a car. Our driver can usually load from the street with a winch, but tell us if parked cars on the road could block access. A weekday morning booking often helps.
Detached garages
Older homes near downtown Stoney Creek sometimes have a garage at the back of a long, narrow drive. If the car is parked nose-in, we can pull it out with a winch. Clear anything stored around it before we come.
Farm lanes and fields
Rural properties in Tapleytown and Vinemount can mean a car sitting well back from the road. Tell us roughly how far, and whether the lane is gravel, dirt or grass. After a wet spell, we may suggest waiting for drier ground.
Condo and visitor lots
Some complexes have rules about tow trucks using visitor parking. Check with your property manager or condo board, then tell us where the truck is allowed to stop. We'll keep the visit short and leave the space as clean as we found it.
Junk car removal in Stoney Creek: how it works
Three steps, usually done the same day.
-
Step 1: Send us the details
Phone (289) 349-2006 or fill out the online form. We'll want to know what the car is, whether it starts or rolls, if the keys are around, and what the pickup spot looks like. Expect a firm cash offer in about 3 minutes.
-
Step 2: Pick your pickup time
Choose when we come. Most calls made before noon get a same-day visit, and next-day is easy. Planning around a closing date or a lease ending? Reserve your slot a few days early so it's locked in.
-
Step 3: Get paid and wave goodbye
Our driver confirms the details, you sign the bill of sale and collect your cash, and the car is loaded. Most junk removals in Stoney Creek wrap up within 20–30 minutes of the truck pulling in.
Before the truck arrives
Four quick jobs that make pickup day smooth.
Take the plates off
Unscrew your licence plates before we come. They belong to you, not the car, so keep them for a future vehicle or return them to ServiceOntario. There's no refund for returning them. Keep a screwdriver handy, and if the bolts are rusted, a squirt of penetrating oil helps.
Have the paperwork ready
Set the ownership (vehicle permit) and your photo ID aside where you can grab them. If the ownership has gone missing, call us before booking; our guide to selling without ownership explains the options so pickup day doesn't stall.
Clear out your belongings
Check the trunk, glovebox, door pockets and under the seats one last time. Pull out any 407 transponder, parking permits and garage remotes too. Anything left inside goes with the car to the recycler, and we can't get it back for you.
Give the neighbours a heads-up
If the truck will need to stop on a narrow street or in a shared lot, a quick word with the neighbours or your condo board avoids surprises. Ask anyone parked tight against the car to move it for an hour.

Stoney Creek junk car removal FAQs
Still have a question? Call (289) 349-2006 and ask a real person.
How much is my junk car worth in Stoney Creek?
Most junk cars bring $300 to $2,000, depending on weight, parts and current scrap metal rates. We pay at least $300 for sedans and $500 for SUVs, minivans and pickups. Running cars can be worth far more.
What if my car has no wheels at all?
We can still take it. Our trucks can lift or winch a car sitting on blocks or on the ground. Let us know before pickup so the driver brings the right equipment, and expect a slightly lower offer if the wheels are gone.
Do I need the keys?
No. A car with lost keys can still be removed, as long as you have the ownership (vehicle permit) and photo ID to prove it's yours. Let us know when you call so the driver comes ready to winch it.
Can you take a junk car from a farm in upper Stoney Creek?
Yes. We pick up from farms and rural lots around Tapleytown, Vinemount and along Highway 20. Tell us how far the car is from the road and what the lane is like, and we'll plan the visit around it.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
Someone has to be. A registered owner, or a person with the owner's written permission, needs to meet the driver to sign the bill of sale and take payment. It takes about 15–20 minutes.
Can you take a car that's leaking fluids?
Yes. Leaks are common with junk cars, and we'll load it carefully to keep drips off your driveway. Mention any big leaks, like fuel or a cracked oil pan, when you book. The recycler drains everything safely once the car arrives.
Is there any charge for junk car removal?
None. The tow, the loading and the disposal are free, and the offer we give you is what you're paid. That holds for short townhouse driveways, long farm lanes and everything in between.
Can I leave junk inside the car?
Please don't. Remove personal belongings, garbage and loose items before pickup. The car goes to a licensed recycler, and household junk inside it causes problems there. Anything you leave behind can't be returned.
Can you take more than one junk car?
Yes. If you've got two or three dead vehicles on the property, we'll quote each one and can often load them in a single visit. For a bigger clean-out or business vehicles, mention it when you call so we plan the right trucks.
