Collision-written-off, flood-declared total loss, or fire-damaged — we buy damaged vehicles in any state, as-is. No repairs required, no penalty for ICBC salvage titles. We assess based on actual damage, explain the offer clearly, and pay cash the day we arrive.
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 ICBC declared not worth repairing. We see these daily. Flood damage is increasingly common in BC following atmospheric river events; vehicles are often written off by insurers even if they still run, because moisture intrusion into the electrical system creates ongoing risk. Fire damage covers everything from underhood engine fires to full cabin burns. Each type has a different value profile, and we explain the reasoning behind every offer rather than presenting a number without context.
ICBC Total Loss and Salvage Title Process
When ICBC declares a total loss, they issue a salvage certificate in exchange for the vehicle's regular registration. You receive a settlement and retain the option to keep the vehicle for a reduced payout, taking on the salvage title. We purchase these salvage-title vehicles regularly. Bring the salvage certificate — it replaces standard registration as the ownership document. Our drivers carry APV9T transfer forms on every run and complete the transaction on-site, so there's no separate trip to a registry.
