Sell your old car
If you have stopped using an older car or are weighing another repair, you can request a quote for it in its current condition. ScrapCars.ca needs the vehicle details and pickup location to discuss your options. You do not need a repair diagnosis to start the conversation.

Get a quote for your car
We’ll get in touch within 24 hours. Check your junk mail for our reply. Sending this form does not book a pickup.
All fields are required except pickup notes.
Describe the car as it stands
Include the year, make and model. Say whether you drive it, whether it starts and how long it has been parked. Mention known mechanical problems, body rust or missing components. Distinguish between faults a mechanic has identified and symptoms you have noticed, such as difficulty starting or a warning light.
If you have not checked the car for some time, say so. Do not start it or take it onto the road to improve the information in a quote request.
Make a decision with the full terms
Before accepting an offer, confirm the amount, payment arrangements and any collection charges. Ask which changes in condition would affect the quote. If you are deciding between repair, private sale and removal, use estimates for your own vehicle rather than treating an advertised price as an offer.
Check the car before it leaves
Look through the glove compartment, console and trunk for belongings and personal records. If you used connected accounts or stored contacts in the car, review the manufacturer's instructions for removing your data. Ask the team about ownership documents and licence plates before the handover, and keep your transaction records.
Decisions before selling an older car
- Write down the last time you drove the car and any repair work you can confirm.
- Separate a mechanic’s diagnosis from faults you suspect.
- Decide whether you intend to keep driving the car while considering the offer.
- Compare the removal offer with a repair estimate or private-sale option using costs for your own car.
- Identify spare wheels, accessories or records you want to keep before agreeing on the sale.
Questions before collection
Does the car need to be a particular age?
Send the year and current condition. The team will review your vehicle rather than deciding from age alone.
Can I ask before deciding to sell?
Yes. Requesting a quote starts an enquiry. Confirm the terms and collection arrangements with the team if you choose to proceed.
Can I talk to someone instead of using the form?
Call 1-855-549-4466. Have the vehicle year, make, model and pickup city ready, along with a description of its condition.
Can I keep using the car after requesting a quote?
Tell the team if you intend to keep driving it. Before accepting an offer or confirming pickup, report any new damage, mechanical fault or other change from the condition you described.
Check your pickup location
Find your municipality and share the location where the vehicle is parked.
