Selling an unwanted vehicle in Toronto should be straightforward. Canadian Auto Wreckers has helped drivers across Toronto and the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA)—and throughout Ontario—turn scrap, junk, damaged, and used vehicles into cash since 1981.
Below is how cash for cars works with us, what we need for a clear quote, and how pickup usually goes. For a free quote, call 416-559-3683 or request a quote online.
How the process works in Toronto
1. Request a free quote
Call 416-559-3683 or use our online quote form. Share basic details about the vehicle and where it is in Toronto or a nearby community. We use that information to prepare a clear offer—there is no obligation to accept.
You can also read our full overview on how cash for cars works on the services page.
2. Review and accept your quote
We explain the offer based on the details you provided. When you accept, we schedule pickup so you do not have to arrange towing on your own.
3. Prepare for pickup
Have ownership paperwork ready when possible. Clear personal items from the vehicle. If the car does not run, or keys are missing, tell us when you request the quote so we can plan the removal.
4. Pickup and payment
We arrange removal from your location in Toronto or across the communities we serve. Payment is handled as agreed when you accept your quote. Ask us any payment questions when you call 416-559-3683.
What we need for a quote
Please have as much of the following ready when you call or fill out the form:
- Year, make, and model of the vehicle
- Condition — running, not running, damaged, scrap, flood, accident, etc.
- Pickup location (neighbourhood or city in Toronto, the GTHA, or Ontario)
- Ownership / paperwork status — whether you have the ownership and are the seller of record
- Keys — whether keys are available
- Any extra vehicles at the same address (multi-vehicle pickups are welcome—mention them up front)
You do not need every detail perfect to start. Call 416-559-3683 with what you know and we will guide you. More answers are on our FAQ.
Vehicles we commonly buy
We buy many types of unwanted vehicles, including scrap and junk cars, damaged or accident vehicles, cars that do not run, vans, trucks, and SUVs, and vehicles with missing keys (tell us when you request a quote).
Every vehicle is different—year, make, model, condition, and current markets all affect the offer—so we quote based on your details rather than publishing a fixed price list.
Areas near Toronto we also serve
Alongside Toronto, we regularly arrange scrap car removal and junk car pickup across Scarborough, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, North York, and other GTHA and Ontario communities. If your city is not listed, call 416-559-3683 to confirm pickup.
Common questions
Do I need a running car? No. Non-running and damaged vehicles are common. Tell us the condition when you request a quote.
What paperwork do I need? Have ownership papers ready when possible. If keys are unavailable, tell us in advance. See our FAQ on paperwork for more detail.
How fast is pickup? Timing depends on location and when you call. Ask about scheduling when you get your quote.
