TooGood2Scrap stands out in the Toronto market by offering a combination of maximum payouts, total transparency, and unparalleled convenience.

This allows us to offer higher guaranteed quotes and provide free, same-day towing across the GTA. Our commitment to “humanized” service means you get real support from local experts who prioritise eco-friendly disposal and instant, on-the-spot cash payments without any arguments.

What should I remove from my car before I scrap it?
Before our team arrives for pickup, ensure you have removed all personal belongings from the cabin, trunk, and glove compartment. It is essential to remove your license plates, too. Additionally, remember to take any transponders, garage door openers, or aftermarket electronics you wish to keep. While we handle the heavy lifting, checking under seats for important documents or valuables ensures a smooth transition. Providing a clean interior allows our specialists to focus entirely on the professional towing and recycling process.

Not at all. We provide a full-service experience by coming directly to your location Toronto, Montreal or the surrounding GTA. You don’t have to worry about driving a dangerous vehicle or arranging a costly tow; our professional team handles the entire removal process from your driveway or place of business.

Getting rid of a vehicle in Toronto is simple and efficient with our localised scrap car services. Start by requesting a free, no-obligation quote online or over the phone.

How soon can I get paid for my unwanted car?
You get paid the moment we arrive to pick up your vehicle. We pride ourselves on speed, often offering same-day service. Once our driver verifies the details and hooks up the car, you receive your cash payment on the spot, no waiting for checks or bank transfers to clear.
Do I need to prove ownership of my car?
Yes, proof of ownership is required to ensure a legal and transparent transaction. You will need to provide a valid vehicle registration or title. This protects all parties involved and allows us to properly document the transfer for recycling, ensuring the car is legally removed from your name.
How is the price determined?
Our offers are calculated using real-time market data. We factor in the vehicle’s curb weight for scrap metal value, current global commodity prices for steel and aluminum, and the salvage value of high-demand parts like catalytic converters. This data-driven approach ensures you always receive a fair, competitive, top-dollar payout.
Is it worth scrapping a car?
Scrapping a car is highly worthwhile when repair costs exceed the vehicle’s actual value or when it no longer runs reliably. Beyond clearing valuable space on your property, scrapping provides immediate liquidity through an instant cash payment. It also eliminates ongoing costs like insurance, registration, and maintenance for an unused asset. From an environmental perspective, scrapping is the most responsible choice, as it ensures hazardous fluids are drained properly and metals are repurposed. By choosing to scrap, you turn a useless car into a financial gain while contributing to a circular economy through professional automotive recycling.
Will you charge for towing my car?
Absolutely not. Free towing is included with every vehicle we purchase. We never deduct removal fees from your quote or surprise you with hidden costs. The price we offer is the exact amount of cash you will have in your hand when our tow truck leaves your property.
What happens to cars after they are crushed?
Once a vehicle is crushed, it enters a sophisticated industrial recycling stream designed to reclaim valuable raw materials. The flattened hulks are transported to a shredding facility where they are broken down into small, manageable pieces of metal, plastic, and glass. Advanced magnets and sensors separate iron metals from non-iron materials like aluminum and copper. These reclaimed metals are then melted down and sold to manufacturers to create new steel products, including parts for brand-new vehicles.
How do I get rid of my old car for cash?
Turning your old car into cash is a fast, three-step process designed for maximum convenience. First, contact us with your vehicle’s make, model, and condition to receive an instant, guaranteed offer. Second, schedule a free pickup time that fits your day; our professional towing service covers the logistics at no extra cost to you. Finally, hand over the keys and ownership documents. You will receive your cash payment immediately on the spot. It is the most reliable way to bypass the hassles of private sales while securing a competitive price.
Do you give more cash for junk cars than your competitors?
We offer highly competitive rates by tracking real-time market values for scrap metal and salvageable components. Our transparent evaluation considers your vehicle’s specific make, model, and weight to ensure you receive a premium offer. By managing our own logistics and recycling partnerships, we eliminate middleman fees. This allows us to pass the savings directly to you, ensuring a top-dollar payout that consistently beats the local competition.
Will I get a better deal if I have more than one scrap vehicle?
Yes. Selling multiple vehicles at once allows us to streamline our towing routes and administrative tasks. We pass these efficiency savings on to you through a consolidated, higher-value package deal. Whether you are clearing out several old cars, a fleet of work trucks, or heavy machinery, we provide a bulk quote that maximizes your total cash return while clearing your entire property in a single, convenient visit.
Do I need to give you any documents or paperwork for my scrap vehicle?
To complete a legal ownership transfer, you typically need to provide a signed vehicle registration or title. These documents prove your right to sell the vehicle and ensure the recycling paperwork is processed correctly. If your documentation is missing or damaged, please inform us ahead of time. Our experienced team can often guide you through the specific provincial requirements or alternative verification methods needed to finalize your sale legally and quickly.
Are old car batteries worth anything?
Yes, old lead-acid car batteries have significant scrap value because they are primarily composed of lead, which is a highly recyclable and valuable commodity. While prices fluctuate daily based on global lead markets, you can typically expect to receive a fair payout based on the battery’s weight. Scrapping your battery not only puts extra cash in your pocket but also ensures that toxic materials like sulfuric acid and lead are handled safely, preventing environmental contamination and supporting sustainable manufacturing for new batteries.
How to change ownership of a scrap car?
Changing ownership is a simple but essential legal step to ensure you are no longer liable for the vehicle once it is scrapped. To complete the transfer in Ontario, you must sign the “Permit” (the green ownership paper) on the back under the transfer section. When our driver arrives, you hand over this signed portion along with the keys. We then provide you with a Bill of Sale for your records. Finally, you should remove your license plates to officially cancel the registration and potentially receive a refund for any remaining plate stickers.
