Cash for Cars Surrey – Get Up to $50,000 for Your Vehicle

A Running Car You No Longer Need

If your car still runs and you’d rather not deal with private buyers or a low trade-in offer, we can quote on it. We buy sedans, SUVs, pickups, vans and work vehicles, including older and high-mileage cars and cars with dents or minor mechanical problems. You don’t need to fix anything first. Describe the car honestly, including any warning lights or damage, so the offer matches what our driver sees at pickup.

Scrap Value or Resale Value?

The same car can be priced two very different ways. A car that runs and is reasonably sound is valued like any used car: by its condition, kilometres and how much demand there is for that model. A car that doesn’t run, or would cost more to repair than it’s worth, is valued mostly on what it’s made of: its weight in metal, the catalytic converter and any parts that can be reused. Metal prices move, so scrap offers change over time too.

That’s why two quotes for the same car can be far apart: one buyer may be pricing it as a used car, the other as scrap. Tell us honestly whether it starts and what’s missing, so the quote reflects the car you actually have.

Too Many Cars, Not Enough Parking

Many Surrey homes share their lot with a second household: in the 2021 Census, nearly one in four homes in Surrey was a suite or a flat in a duplex. When a lot holds more cars than it has spaces, a car that no longer runs soon becomes a problem. Under the City of Surrey’s property-use bylaws, a vehicle that can’t run under its own power, or one that appears wrecked and doesn’t display a current licence, counts as a wrecked vehicle, and after a complaint a bylaw officer can set a deadline to remove it or store it properly. Moving it onto the street isn’t a long-term answer either: under the City’s street parking rules, no vehicle may stay parked in the same spot on a public street for more than 72 hours.

If that sounds familiar, tell us where the car is and whether it runs, and we’ll make an offer and arrange pickup based on availability.

Serving All of Surrey

We buy cars in every part of the city: around Surrey Central and King George Boulevard, in Fleetwood, Newton and Cloverdale, across South Surrey including Douglas and Ocean Park, and on the north side of the city in North Surrey, Fraser Heights, Port Kells and Port Mann. Guildford and Whalley are covered too. Selling a car outside Surrey? Our Cash For Cars Vancouver home page lists every area we cover.

What Can Change an Offer

Every offer is based on the car you describe: its make, model, year and mileage, whether it runs, and the condition of the body and parts. If you’ve described the car accurately, we generally honour the offer we gave you. If the vehicle turns out to be significantly different from what was described, we’ll usually decline the purchase rather than renegotiate on the spot. So mention any damage, missing parts or mechanical problems when you ask for your quote.

Scrap and Junk Car Removal in Surrey

Got a car that won’t start, failed an inspection or has been sitting on a driveway, in a lane or in a garage for months? We buy scrap and junk cars across Surrey, including cars that are damaged, rusted, stripped or missing parts. Free towing is included for vehicles we purchase within our service area, and you’re paid in cash at collection once the paperwork is complete.

Many cars around Surrey City Centre, Guildford and Whalley are parked in condo and apartment buildings, and we remove vehicles from underground parkades as well as from driveways, lanes and carports. We also have a flatbed tow truck, which suits cars that don’t run or are badly damaged. A flatbed can’t fit into every underground garage, so whether and how we can remove a car from a parkade depends on the ramp, the height clearance and the space around the vehicle. Tell us where the car is parked and the garage’s clearance if you know it, and we’ll let you know what’s possible.

Getting Ready for Pickup

A little preparation makes collection straightforward. Take your belongings out of the car, including anything in the trunk and glovebox. Have photo ID for the registered owner, the vehicle’s registration and any keys you have. Tell us beforehand if the car won’t roll, has flat tires or is boxed in, and how the driver can reach it: a driveway, a lane, a strata lot or an underground parkade.

The Paperwork When You Sell

In B.C., you and the buyer complete ICBC’s Transfer/Tax form (APV9T), which you sign once you’ve been paid. You keep your licence plates and your copy of the form, and then cancel your insurance or move it to another vehicle. We help you take the plates off and go over the form with you, and ICBC explains each step in its guide to selling a used vehicle.

Selling a Damaged or Written-Off Car in Surrey

Accident-damaged vehicles, insurance write-offs and cars with mechanical failure, including major engine damage, are welcome. You don’t need to repair anything first; tell us what happened and what still works, and we’ll make an offer based on the vehicle’s condition. Our page on selling a damaged car explains more.
