Where to Junk a Car in Coquitlam? | Jay’s Friendly Scrap Car Towing

Sometimes, a car reaches a point where it just doesn’t make sense to keep it any longer. Maybe it won’t start, failed inspection, or has been sitting in the driveway for months. If you’re in Coquitlam, you’ve probably asked yourself:
“Where can I junk my car and get it out of my way — without a huge hassle?”

That’s where Jay’s Junk Car Towing comes in.

A Real Coquitlam Story

Sandra, who lives near Austin Heights, had an old Corolla that gave up after two decades. It needed thousands in repairs. She didn’t want to deal with listings or sketchy buyers, and towing it herself wasn’t an option.

She searched “Where to junk a car in Coquitlam” and found Jay. A quick call later, she had a same-day pickup, a clean driveway, and cash in hand — no stress, no confusion.

Where Can You Junk a Car in Coquitlam?

There are a few ways to go about it, but not all are ideal.

1. Local Scrap Yards

Coquitlam has a few auto wreckers, but many:

  • Require you to bring the car yourself
  • Want paperwork and ID
  • Pay less than market value
  • Don’t offer same-day service

You’ll also be left wondering if you’re getting a fair deal.

2. DIY Dismantling (Not Worth It)

You could strip the car and try selling it for parts — but Coquitlam has bylaws about storing and dismantling vehicles on private property. Plus, it’s a messy, time-consuming job with limited payout.

3. Call Jay – The Local Pro

This is the option most Coquitlam locals go with when they want it done fast.

  • Friendly, local service

What Happens After We Take Your Junk Car?

Once we pick up your vehicle, we take it to a licensed scrap facility. The car is safely drained of fluids, reusable parts are removed, and the steel gets recycled.

This is the eco-friendly way to deal with end-of-life vehicles — and much better than letting it rot or end up abandoned.
