If you have never used a junk car removal service in Canada before, you probably have some questions regarding pickup day. A lot of vehicle owners are concerned about their paperwork, payment, towing, and whether their car needs to run.

Fortunately, it’s usually much easier to begin the scrap car removal process than people think. Choosing to sell a junk car to junk car buyers like Kenny U-Pull means most of the work gets done before the tow truck arrives, so as soon as you agree on a price and book a collection time, the rest is easy.

This is what will happen on your vehicle pick-up day:

Step 1: Confirming the Pickup Details

You’ll receive confirmation of the appointment before pickup day arrives to ensure things run smoothly without delay or a hitch. At this point, you usually confirm:

• The type of vehicle (sedans, SUVs, vans, trucks…)
• Where the address for junk car removal is
• Where the vehicle is located on the property
• The scheduled pickup window (same-day pickup available, depending on your location)
• Your contact information
• Payment information discussed in the quote process

If the vehicle is in a tight space, behind another vehicle, or inside the garage, let us know ahead of time. Good accessibility makes it easier for our tow operators to load your car. This is also a good time to ask any final questions regarding the junk car removal.

Step 2: Preparing the Vehicle

One of the biggest myths about selling a scrap car is that you have to spend time or money cleaning it up. You don’t. You also don’t need to fix mechanical issues, pump up tires, replace parts missing, or make the vehicle run again. At Kenny U-Pull, we buy cars in any condition, including damaged, non-running, and scrap metal.

However, before pickup, there are a few simple things you want to make sure to do:

• Remove anything valuable or personal from the vehicle
• Open the glove box, centre console and look under the seats to make sure nothing is forgotten
• Remove parking passes and toll transponders
• Have your ownership documents on hand
• Have your photo ID ready

Many people are surprised by what they find when cleaning out an old vehicle. If you can spare some minutes before the scrap car buyer’s tow truck arrives, do so.

Step 3: When the Tow Truck Arrives

When we arrive, we first verify the old car and ownership credentials. Usually, this includes:

• Identity verification
• Checking the ownership documents
• Verifying the vehicle details
• Checking the vehicle condition

It’s a quick check, with the goal of simply confirming that the vehicle matches the information provided in the quote. Every day, professional auto wreckers do those steps not to make it complicated, but to simply complete the vehicle’s legal transfer. If everything is in order, towing service and payment are completed without delay.

Step 4: Payment and Vehicle Transfer

After the paperwork for the car disposal is evaluated and the vehicle transfer is approved, a cash payment is made, and all the documents are provided to complete the scrap car removal. During this stage, you will:

• Sign documents
• Transfer ownership
• Receive cash for cars
• Receive any documentation related to the sale of your junk automobile

Several vehicle owners try to sell a car privately for weeks, working on listings, responding to messages, scheduling meetings, and dealing with clients who don’t show up. When you sell to an auto recycling yard, we pay you top dollar and the process is finished in a matter of minutes, since everything is done during the same sale appointment.

Step 5: Towing the Vehicle Away

After the paperwork is completed and we pay cash, the vehicle is loaded on the tow truck.

Some people wonder if their vehicle can be removed when it’s too damaged. Under most circumstances, the answer is yes, thanks to our professional towing equipment. We can remove vehicles that have:

• Flat tyre
• Dead battery
• Engine failure
• Transmission problems
• Steering locked
• High mileage
• Collision-damaged vehicle

Our flatbed towing equipment allows all junk vehicles to be scrapped. Even those that are badly damaged mechanically can be loaded and removed. Once the scrap vehicle is in the tow truck, it’s taken to our facility for proper processing.

What You Don’t Need to Worry About

First-time sellers are often concerned about the junk car removal process. Here’s what you don’t need to worry about when you have Kenny U-Pull as your scrap car buyer:

• Fuel level, as it doesn’t need any fuel at all
• Cleaning the vehicle, as nobody expects a scrap vehicle to be cleaned
• Making repairs, since most vehicles are sold due to a faulty engine, transmission problem, electrical issue, accident damage, or major repair bills for cosmetic damage
• Missing parts, such as the catalytic converter or wheels, as many vehicles sold to us don’t have any parts
• Whether the vehicle starts or not, since we pick up non-running vehicles daily
• Transportation, since we provide towing services for scrap car removal for free
