A scrap yard that comes to you
A scrap yard (also called a junk yard, salvage yard or auto wrecker) buys end-of-life vehicles, removes useful parts and recycles the metal. The difference with Recyclage d’auto St-Jean is that you never have to tow the car to the yard: our truck picks it up free in Montreal, on the South Shore and in 17 cities, and you are paid cash on the spot.
Our yard is at 57 Route 219 in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. Our tow trucks leave from there for Longueuil, Brossard, La Prairie, Chambly, Châteauguay, Saint-Hyacinthe, Granby and Montreal.
Scrap yard, junk yard or scrap metal dealer: what’s the difference?
Scrap yard
Buys the whole car, salvages parts and sends the shell to metal recycling. That is what we do.
Junk yard / salvage yard
Common English terms for the same activity, often focused on reselling used parts.
Scrap metal dealer (ferrailleur)
Mostly pays for metal by weight. For a complete car, a scrap yard usually pays more because it also values parts and the catalytic converter.

What our scrap yard buys
- Scrap cars and old beaters, running or not
- Accident-damaged, total-loss, flooded or burnt cars
- Unplated, unregistered or stored vehicles
- Pickups, SUVs, vans and light trucks
- Heavily rusted cars or cars missing an engine / transmission
- Used catalytic converters sold on their own
How the scrap yard calculates your price
A scrap car’s price starts with its metal weight and the scrap price on pickup day. Then come the catalytic converter (it contains precious metals), reusable parts (engine, transmission, doors, rims) and overall condition. The more complete the car, the better the price. See our scrap car prices page for ranges by vehicle type.
Eco-friendly car recycling
We recover all fluids (oil, antifreeze, brake fluid), remove reusable parts, and process materials according to Quebec's strict environmental standards. Our practices follow RECYC-QUÉBEC guidelines and ARPAC practices.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a scrap yard pay for a car?
Usually $300 to $3,000 depending on weight, the catalytic converter, reusable parts and the scrap metal price. A complete compact car is worth less than an SUV or pickup. We give a firm price over the phone.
Do I have to bring my car to the scrap yard?
No. Towing is free: we pick the car up at your place, even if it won’t start.
What documents do I need to scrap a car in Quebec?
The registration certificate and photo ID. You remove your plate. We guide you through the SAAQ transfer at pickup.
What's the difference between a scrapyard and this service?
A traditional scrapyard requires you to bring the vehicle yourself. With Recyclage Auto St-Jean, we come to your home to pick it up free of charge, and we pay you cash on the spot.
Do you accept cars without a title or papers?
Contact us for your specific situation. Generally, we help clients complete SAAQ formalities at the time of pickup.
Do you recycle cars in an environmentally friendly way?
Yes. Fluids are recovered, reusable parts are salvaged, and materials are processed according to Quebec environmental standards.
How soon can you come pick up my car?
In most cases, we can arrange same-day or next-day pickup. Call (438) 342-3515 to confirm availability.
Do you serve the entire Montreal region?
Yes — Montreal, South Shore (Longueuil, Brossard, La Prairie), Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Granby, Saint-Hyacinthe, and all surrounding cities.
