How scrap car removal works with us

  1. 1

    Tell us what you have

    Call, text, WhatsApp or fill in the quote slip. Year, make, model, what's wrong with it and where it's parked. Photos help.

  2. 2

    Get a price and a time

    We give you a number on the spot and book a pickup. Same day is normal when you reach us before mid-afternoon.

  3. 3

    We tow it, you get paid

    The driver checks the vehicle matches what you told us, you sign it over, and you're paid before it leaves.

What a pickup looks like

No call centre. The truck that shows up is one of ours, and the driver loading your vehicle is the one who pays you.

Most jobs take under half an hour once we arrive: check the vehicle, sign the paperwork, pay you, load it and go.

What decides how much cash you get

Most scrap buyers price everything by weight and stop there. Weight matters, but it's only part of it.

A car that's worth fixing is worth more than its steel, and we price it that way. Some of what we pick up gets repaired and back on the road, the rest gets parted out and recycled properly. Knowing which is which is how you get a fair number instead of a lowball one.

If you already have a higher quote from somewhere else, tell us. We'd rather hear it on the phone than lose the job.

Scrap car removal - this company will show up as promised, unlike others
I have used them twice in the last year, both times were excellent. The driver was the same both times , he's the friendliest and nicest guy to deal with, personable and professional.

Solid guys!

I called them in the morning and they came an hour later. Even though my vehicle didn't have any wheels or suspension they still managed to take it away with no issues. 10/10 would recommend and I'll be using them again when I need to!

I called based on a Google search and ended up speaking with who I now know as Nabil about picking up a vehicle I recently decided wasn't worth repairing anymore. A very prompt, friendly, good spirited human showed up to my house and did exactly as we had discussed. The 5 start rating is deserved.

Good to know before the truck arrives

What we do

  • Buy cars, trucks, SUVs and vans in any condition
  • Tow for free across the Lower Mainland
  • Pay you at pickup, before the vehicle leaves
  • Remove buses, forklifts and other heavy equipment

What we don't do

  • Sell used auto parts
  • Boosts, lockouts, tire changes or other roadside help
  • Charge a towing or disposal fee for a car, truck, SUV or van
  • Change the price at the curb when the vehicle matches what you told us

Paperwork in BC, in plain terms

  • Take your licence plates off. They belong to ICBC, not the car. Keep them for your next vehicle or hand them in at any Autoplan broker.
  • Have the registration handy if you can. If it's lost, that's fine as long as the vehicle is registered to you and you show photo ID. If it's in someone else's name, they need to be there or reachable.
  • Sign the transfer. ICBC's Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T) is signed once you've been paid. We bring what's needed and give you a receipt.
  • Cancel or move your insurance at an Autoplan broker so you're not paying for a car you no longer own.

Owner-run, from Main Street

Noble Towing started out the way the name suggests: tow trucks, roadside calls, lockouts at midnight. The calls that kept coming back were from people with a car they simply wanted gone, so over time that became the whole business.

The company is owner-run. Nabil, who comes up by name in a lot of our Google reviews, is still hands-on, and the same small team answers the phone and drives the trucks. Our flatbeds work the whole Lower Mainland from our base at 4508 Main St, Vancouver.

Scrap car removal questions

How much will you pay for my car?

It depends on what it is and the shape it's in. Weight, whether the engine and transmission are still there, the catalytic converter, and whether the vehicle is worth fixing all move the number. Send the year, make and model, or a few photos on WhatsApp, and you'll get a real price, usually within minutes.

Is the towing really free?

Yes. For cars, trucks, SUVs and vans we never charge for the tow anywhere in our area. The price we quote is what we pay you. Buses, machinery, RVs and trailers can be different, and we'll tell you before anything is booked.

How fast can you pick up?

Same day is normal, often within a couple of hours if you reach us earlier in the day. You can also book a time that suits you, any day from 7am to 10pm.

Do I need the registration or the keys?

Keys help but aren't required. The registration isn't strictly needed either, but the vehicle has to be registered to you, or the registered owner has to be there, and we'll ask for photo ID. We'll go over it on the phone so there are no surprises.

Do you sell used parts or offer roadside help?

No. We buy and remove vehicles, that's the whole business now. We don't sell parts, and we no longer do boosts, lockouts or roadside calls.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley out to Abbotsford: Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond, the Tri-Cities, New Westminster, the North Shore, Delta, White Rock, Langley, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Mission, Chilliwack and Bowen Island are possible too, just call first.

Got a car to get rid of?

Call, text or WhatsApp a photo. Open 7 days a week, 7am to 10pm.
