Three Types of Damage We Buy Every Day

Collision damage is the most common — a vehicle with a crushed front end, side impact, or rear-end damage that insurance decided isn't worth repairing. Flood damage is increasingly common in BC, especially following atmospheric river events — these vehicles are often written off even if they still run. Fire damage includes everything from engine fires to full cabin burns. We've bought all three.

ICBC Total Loss and Salvage Title Process

If ICBC has declared your vehicle a total loss, they issue a salvage title in exchange for the vehicle's registration. You receive a settlement payment and retain the right to keep the vehicle for a reduced settlement. We buy these salvage-title vehicles. If you still have the salvage certificate, we can complete the transaction.

How It Works

Selling your junk car shouldn't be a hassle. We've streamlined our process into three simple steps to get cash in your hand as quickly as possible.

Call us or fill out our online form. Tell us the year, make, model, and condition of your vehicle. We'll give you an instant, guaranteed cash offer.

If you accept our offer, we'll schedule a pickup time that works for you. We offer free towing anywhere in our service area, often same-day.

Common Questions About Damaged Cars

Do I need to fix anything on my damaged car before selling?

No. We buy damaged vehicles as-is. Don't spend money on repairs for a vehicle you're selling — we assess and price based on its current, damaged state.

My car was flooded last winter and dried out but smells — is it still worth something?

Yes. A flood-damaged vehicle with dried-out components still has significant scrap and part value. The value is reduced from a clean vehicle but not eliminated.

ICBC wrote off my car — can I still keep it and sell it to you?

Yes. When ICBC writes off a vehicle, you can request to keep it in exchange for a reduced settlement. You'll receive a salvage certificate. We buy the vehicle using that certificate as the ownership document.

My car's airbags deployed in an accident — does that affect the offer?

Deployed airbags reduce a vehicle's value but don't make it unsellable. We account for the cost of the bags in the offer rather than refusing the vehicle.

Can you pick up a collision-damaged car that can't be driven or steered?

Yes. Our flatbed trucks can load vehicles that are non-driveable and can't be safely towed on their axles. Collision-damaged vehicles are a daily occurrence for our team.
