Price, paperwork, plates and pickup, answered plainly.
It depends on weight, what's still on the vehicle (engine, transmission, catalytic converter, wheels), whether it can be fixed, and current demand for its parts. Two cars of the same age can be worth quite different amounts. Call or send the year, make, model and a few photos and you'll get an actual number.
No. For cars, trucks, SUVs and vans the towing is always free and we pay you. You never get a bill from us for removing a vehicle.
At pickup, before the vehicle leaves your property. If you have a preference for how you're paid, mention it when you book. For any private sale, ICBC suggests taking cash or a bank draft rather than a personal cheque.
Tell us what you were offered and by whom. If we can match it or come close, we will. If we can't, we'll say so straight away instead of wasting your afternoon.
Not if the vehicle is what you described. The price only changes if something is different, like a missing engine or catalytic converter we weren't told about, and the driver will explain it before anything is loaded. You can always say no.
Usually the same day, often within two hours of your call. You can also schedule a time that suits you. We work 7 days a week from 7am to 10pm.
Ideally, yes, because the vehicle needs to be signed over and paid for. If you can't be, someone you trust can meet the driver with your signed paperwork, and we'll sort out the details on the phone first.
Usually. Tell us the parkade level and the clearance height when you book so we bring the right truck and plan how to get it to the street.
Yes. Our flatbeds use a winch, so a vehicle with flat tires, locked brakes or no wheels at all can still be loaded.

BC doesn't use titles the way the US does. You don't need the paper registration in hand, but the vehicle has to be registered in your name, or the registered owner needs to be present, and we'll check photo ID.
Take them off before we tow. Plates belong to ICBC, so either keep them for your next vehicle or return them to an Autoplan broker. Our blog has more on what to do with old plates.
Yes. We complete the paperwork with you at pickup, including the ICBC Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T), and you keep a copy as proof the vehicle is no longer yours.
Once the vehicle is sold, cancel the insurance or move it to another vehicle at any Autoplan broker. Bring your seller's copy of the transfer form.
We can help, but first we need to confirm it isn't stolen and that the owner has signed off or the legal process for abandoned vehicles has been followed. Call with the plate or VIN and we'll tell you what applies.
Yes, in any condition. If ICBC has declared it a total loss and taken it over, though, it's ICBC's to sell, not yours.
Yes. Running cars are priced as cars, not scrap, because we can often fix and resell them.
Yes. Pickups, SUVs and vans are handled like any car. Buses, forklifts, excavators, trailers and other equipment are on our heavy equipment page.
No. We only buy and remove vehicles. If you're looking for a part, a self-serve wrecking yard is the place to call.
Not anymore. We don't do boosts, lockouts, tire changes or breakdown tows. We focus on buying vehicles.
7 days a week, 7:00am to 10:00pm, holidays included unless we say otherwise on Google.
Vancouver and the whole Lower Mainland: Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, New Westminster, North and West Vancouver, Delta, White Rock, Langley, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and Abbotsford. Further out on request.
Repairable vehicles are fixed and resold. The rest are dismantled: usable parts are reused, fluids and batteries are handled properly, and the metal goes to a licensed recycler.
