When the repair bill is the reason to sell
For a Burnaby car with a failed engine or transmission, share the diagnosis if you have it. Tell us what still works, which parts have been removed and whether the vehicle is complete. You do not need to pay for another repair just to ask what we can offer. The assessment depends on the actual car, not the amount already spent on it.
What we need for your Burnaby assessment
Your car is assessed individually. Send the year, make, model, approximate kilometres and what you know about its faults. Current photos of the body, interior and damage are more useful than a picture from when it was running.
- Tell us whether it starts, rolls, steers and has its wheels.
- List missing major parts and whether you have the keys.
- Give the exact address and describe access for loading.
- Explain your ownership documents or any missing paperwork.
Price and pickup are agreed, not guessed
There is no fixed payout for every scrap car in Burnaby. We assess the vehicle and discuss the price before a sale is agreed. Towing is free for vehicles we buy, and payment is completed at pickup. Ask about the payment arrangement before handover.
Is same-day pickup guaranteed?
No. We check the exact Burnaby location, vehicle condition, loading access and driver availability first. Outlying pickups need a separate review. Do not make travel or storage arrangements around a pickup until it is confirmed.
Before handover
Remove your belongings and have the ownership documents ready. If the car is not registered to you, or documents are missing, explain that before collection. ICBC advises sellers to remove their licence plates and keep signed sale documents. Ask an Autoplan broker about unresolved ownership questions. Read ICBC's seller checklist.
