Scrapping a Car in Quebec: Steps, Paperwork and Price
Scrapping your car costs nothing: we buy it, tow it free and handle the car recycling. Here is how it works, step by step.
What does scrapping a car mean?
Scrapping (mise à la ferraille) is when an end-of-life car is taken off the road for good, depolluted, dismantled and recycled. In Quebec the simplest way to do it is to sell the car to a scrap yard that handles the towing, the car recycling and the transfer.
How scrapping works with us
1. Quote
Describe the vehicle at (438) 342-3515 or on WhatsApp. We give you a firm price.
2. Documents
Have the registration certificate and photo ID ready. Remove your plate.
3. Free towing
We pick up the car at your place, often the same day, in our 17 service cities.
4. Payment and transfer
You’re paid cash and we guide you through the SAAQ transfer.
5. Depollution
Fuel, oil, coolant, brake fluid and refrigerant are recovered; battery and tires are removed.
6. Recycling
Reusable parts are salvaged and the shell goes to metal recycling.
Your plate and the SAAQ
In Quebec the plate belongs to the owner, not the car. Remove it before scrapping. You can then transfer it to another vehicle or complete the SAAQ steps so you stop paying registration on a car that no longer exists. We explain what to do at pickup; see the SAAQ website for official details.
