We buy the cars nobody else wants: old, damaged, dead in the driveway, or written off and still yours. We price them first, tow most of them for free, and pay on the spot by cash or e-Transfer.
Our base is at 4811 Dumfries St in Kensington-Cedar Cottage, just east of Knight Street. Most of the work happens at your place, so call or text 236-201-8504 before coming by.
East Van Auto Recyclers buys whole vehicles from people across East Vancouver and the rest of the city. We don't sell used parts, run a U-pull yard, or do roadside calls. That keeps the job simple: you have a car you want gone, we give you a price, and a truck comes to get it.
Most of what we buy has been parked for a while. The insurance lapsed, the battery went flat, or the repair estimate came back higher than the car is worth. Some cars come from family estates, some from small businesses retiring a van, and some from strata stalls with a deadline on them.
When you call or text 236-201-8504, you're talking to the people who book the trucks.
Four steps, usually done within a day or two of your first call.
Call or text 236-201-8504 with the year, make, model, condition and where the car is parked. Photos help.
We price it on weight, how complete it is, the catalytic converter, the model and how easy it is to reach. You hear the number before anything is booked.
Same-day is often possible if you call early. Otherwise we pick a time that suits you.
The driver checks the VIN and your ID and pays you by cash or e-Transfer. Then you sign the registration and ICBC's Transfer/Tax Form. The driver brings the form.
The price only changes if the car isn't what was described: a different vehicle, a major part missing that wasn't mentioned, or no paperwork showing it's yours. If that happens, you hear it before anything is loaded, and you're free to say no.
Cars leave on our trucks for recycling, not for a lot down the road. Fluids are drained, the battery and tires go to their own recycling streams, usable parts come off, and the body is crushed and shredded so the steel can be melted down again.
We're based in Kensington-Cedar Cottage and pick up across Vancouver. We don't buy vehicles outside the Lower Mainland.
More on how we work: junk car removal in East Vancouver, non-running car removal, scrap car removal in Hastings-Sunrise and Grandview, and what you need to scrap a car in BC.
Call or text before coming by. Most of our work happens at your place, not ours.
Text a photo to 236-201-8504 and we'll come back with a price. Open every day, 8am to 8pm.
