Broken Car Removal In Mission, BC
If the repair costs more than the vehicle is worth, I'll buy it as it is and tow it away.
Engine and transmission failures, overheating, oil leaks, accident damage and high kilometres. Free towing is included for complete vehicles I buy and you're paid before loading.
Missing wheels or major parts can affect pickup or require paid removal. Tell me before booking.
How Do I Know If My Car Is Worth Fixing?
Compare the repair quote to what the vehicle would be worth once it's fixed. If the repair eats most of that, it usually isn't worth doing.
Then think about what comes next. A high-kilometre vehicle that needs a transmission often needs something else soon after. Rust, worn suspension and tired brakes don't go away because the big job got done.
A single smaller repair on a solid vehicle you plan to keep is a different story. Brakes, a starter, an alternator or a sensor can be worth doing. Tell me the quote and the vehicle and I'll give you my honest read, even if that read is to fix it.
What Breakdowns Usually End A Vehicle?
Engine and transmission failures are the big ones, because they often cost as much as the vehicle is worth.
Others that often tip the decision: an engine that overheated and warped something, oil leaks that keep getting worse, collision damage on an older vehicle, and frame rust that won't pass an inspection. Tell me the specific problem and the condition. They shape the quote.
Can You Pick Up A Car From A Mechanic Or Dealership In Mission?
Yes. If your vehicle is already sitting at a repair shop or dealership after a diagnosis, I can arrange pickup there. You do not need to tow it home first.
Let the shop know it's being picked up, settle anything you owe them, and make sure you or someone you've arranged can sign the transfer and take payment. If the vehicle is partly taken apart, tell me what's been removed and whether the parts are going with it.
What Will I Get For A Broken Vehicle?
It depends on the vehicle, so I give the price on the call once I know what it is and what's wrong.
Year, make, model, kilometres, the specific failure, overall condition and whether it runs, where it sits and whether it's complete all matter. A broken vehicle that people still want parts for can be worth more than you'd expect. If it still runs and drives well enough to sell, see the cash for cars page linked below.
Common Questions
My mechanic says it's not worth fixing. Will you buy it?
Yes. That's one of the most common reasons people call. Tell me what the shop found and what they quoted.
Can you pick it up from a repair shop or dealership?
Yes. Coordinate release and access with the shop or dealership, and tell me where the vehicle sits and whether parts have been removed.
Do you buy high-kilometre vehicles?
Yes. High kilometres lower the value of some vehicles more than others, so tell me the kilometres and condition for a quote.
Do you buy vehicles with accident damage?
Yes. Describe the damage honestly on the call and mention whether the vehicle can roll or has loose parts.
Should I fix it first to get more?
Usually not if it's a big repair. Small fixes rarely add as much to the sale price as they cost.
Tell me what the vehicle is, what's wrong with it and where it's parked. You'll get a straight answer on the call.
