How Do I Scrap My Car in Surrey? Here’s What You Need to Know
If you’ve got an old, broken-down car sitting in your driveway or garage, you’re probably wondering:
“How do I scrap my car in Surrey — and who do I call?”
The good news? Scrapping your car doesn’t have to be a hassle. In fact, it can be fast, easy, and even put cash in your hand the same day.
This guide will walk you through the process step by step, explain what you’ll need, and show you how Jay at Junk Car Towing can help you do it the right way — with free towing and no stress.
First Things First: What Does It Mean to Scrap a Car?
Scrapping a car means removing a vehicle from the road permanently and recycling it for its usable parts and metal. When a car is no longer safe to drive, too costly to repair, or simply not worth keeping, scrapping is the most responsible option.
It’s also a smart one — especially when you can:
- Avoid towing or disposal fees
- Get free removal
- Get paid cash for something you no longer want
That’s where we come in.
Step-by-Step: How to Scrap Your Car in Surrey
Here’s how it works when you contact Junk Car Towing:
Step 1: Call or Text Jay at 604‑889‑4470
You’ll be asked for some quick info:
- What’s the make, model, and year of the car?
- Where in Surrey is it located?
- Does it start? (No problem if it doesn’t)
This helps us determine a fair cash offer based on its scrap value.
Step 2: Get a Free Quote — No Pressure
Once we’ve got the details, you’ll get a fast quote. There’s no obligation to accept. If it works for you, we’ll schedule a pickup — usually same-day.
And yes, we really do pay cash on pickup. No delays, no “we’ll mail you a cheque,” and no games.
Step 3: We Tow the Car — You Get Paid
We’ll arrive at your location in Surrey (Newton, Whalley, Guildford — anywhere), tow the vehicle away, and hand you cash on the spot.
No hidden charges. No paperwork headaches. Just a simple, stress-free way to get rid of a car you no longer want.
