Real experiences from customers who trusted us with their car recycling needs

5/5

Easy, Smooth and Kind Service

I liked how consistent this service was, from getting an instant quote by entering my car details online, then getting a quick follow up text. Also, no pressure as I thought things through for a weekend. Lastly, sorting a car collection with Moe after talking again was quick, with Dhamir the tow truck driver arriving on the appointed day, ending in a successful e-transfer before departure getting the exact amount quoted. Easy, smooth and kind service.

Mo to the Rescue

So easy! My poor car had too many problems for me to fix. Mo to the rescue. It was quick and easy and so accommodating. Mo's tow-truck driver was super kind and professional. All around a great experience. 5 Stars!

Hardworking and Cooperative

The guys were really hardworking and gave me good price for my car... better than others. They arranged a pick up time accordingly and were really cooperative. I would recommend everyone giving these guys a try if you are thinking to get rid of your vehicle.

  • Vehicle registration (ownership papers)

  • The car keys (if available)
This ensures a legal transfer of ownership and helps combat auto theft in British Columbia.
Absolutely. Vehicles in any condition qualify — running or not, wrecked, flooded, or missing parts. Keep in mind that missing major components (like the engine, transmission, or catalytic converter) will affect the final cash offer.
The process involves several steps:
  • All hazardous fluids (oil, coolant, fuel) are safely drained.
  • Usable parts are salvaged to be resold or remanufactured.
  • The remaining steel and aluminum shell is crushed.
  • Metals are sent to a shredding facility, separated, and recycled to build new products.
