What Affects Your Scrap Car Offer in Surrey?

Here’s what goes into your quote at Jay’s Junk Car Towing:

  • Year, Make, Model: Heavier vehicles and those with higher-demand parts are generally worth more.
  • Condition: We accept vehicles in almost any state dead battery, flat tires, accident damage, or just plain old.

Real Stories from Local Drivers

We love helping Surrey drivers (and folks in nearby cities) get paid for their junk cars and reclaim their space. Here are a few true stories:

  • Newton: “My old Honda Civic wouldn’t start, and I was tired of looking at it. Jay’s Junk Car Towing gave me a quote in minutes, came out the same day, paid cash, and took it away. Couldn’t be easier.”
  • Fleetwood: “Our family van died and was blocking our garage. We got several quotes, but Jay’s was the most honest and the driver was super friendly. Pickup was the next morning, no stress.”
