Cash for your car — running or not.
We buy cars, trucks, vans and SUVs anywhere in Richmond, BC. Free towing, cash on the spot, and the whole thing done today. Tell us what you've got and we'll give you a real number.
The easiest way to turn a dead car into cash.
You've got a vehicle taking up the driveway, failing inspections, or just not worth fixing. We're the local crew that shows up, hands you cash, and hauls it away — no dealer runaround, no listings, no tire-kickers.
- One phone call and a real quote — not a lowball you have to argue up.
- We tow it free from anywhere in Richmond, driveway or curb.
- Cash in your hand before the flatbed pulls away.
How it works
No paperwork mazes, no waiting around. From your call to cash in hand is usually the same day.
Call or text us
Tell us the year, make, model and rough condition. We give you a firm cash offer over the phone — no need to bring it anywhere.
We come to you
Pick a time that works. Our flatbed rolls out to your driveway or curb in Richmond, often within a couple of hours.
Get paid on the spot
We inspect, pay you cash in full, load the car and go. The whole pickup takes about 20 minutes.
What we buy
If it's a vehicle and it's in the Richmond area, we'll make an offer — even if it hasn't moved in years.
Cars & sedans
Old daily drivers, high-mileage commuters, and anything not worth fixing.
Trucks & pickups
Work trucks, rusted-out haulers, farm and job-site pickups.
SUVs & vans
Family SUVs, cargo vans, minivans — loaded, stripped, or dead.
Scrap & junk cars
End-of-life vehicles headed for recycling. We pay by weight and steel value.
Accident & damaged
Collision cars, flood or hail damage, engine or transmission gone.
Non-runners
Won't start, no keys, missing parts, sitting on flat tires — no problem.
No keys? No title? Still fine.
Missing paperwork or lost keys usually isn't a dealbreaker — call and we'll tell you what we need.
All makes & models
Domestic, import, luxury or beater — we buy them all across Richmond.
Situations we help with
These are the calls we get every week from Richmond. If one of them is you, we've done it before.
Downsizing or clearing the driveway
Freeing up space, moving, or done storing a car you'll never drive again.
Estate or deceased-owner vehicle
Handling a loved one's car during a hard time. We keep it simple and respectful.
Failed inspection or won't pass
Repairs cost more than the car's worth? Skip the shop and get paid instead.
ICBC write-off or total loss
Insurance called it, and now you want the leftover value in cash.
Sitting non-running for months
Dead battery, seized engine, flat tires — it hasn't moved and it's time.
Just want it gone today
No listing, no strangers, no haggling. Call, get cash, done by evening.
How much is my car worth?
Most vehicles land somewhere between $300 and $2,500, and newer or in-demand models go higher. Here's what actually moves your offer — so you know the number is fair, not made up.
Scrap value starts with steel. A heavy truck or SUV is worth more at the yard than a small sedan.
All the major parts still on it — engine, transmission, catalytic converter, wheels — means a higher offer.
Some makes and years are in demand for reusable parts. Those cars are worth more than pure scrap.
Metal prices move week to week. When steel is up, offers are up — we quote at today's rate.
A car that drives is usually worth more than a dead one — but even non-runners still get a solid offer.
What to have ready
Pickup goes fastest when a few things are in order. None of it is complicated — call us if you're missing something.
Vehicle registration
The registration if you have it. Lost it? Often still fine — just let us know.
Photo ID
Government-issued ID that matches the owner, so we can confirm it's yours to sell.
Remove personal items
Check the glovebox, trunk, under seats and visors. Grab your garage remote and plates.
Cancel your ICBC insurance
Once the car's gone, cancel or transfer your ICBC coverage to stop paying for it — you may get a refund.
How you get paid: cash, on the spot.
Full payment in hand the moment we hook up the car — no cheques, no e-transfer delays, no "we'll send it later."
Recent pickups
Real cars, real Richmond driveways. This is what a typical week looks like.

Where your old car ends up
Your vehicle doesn't just disappear — it gets processed the right way, close to home.
- Fluids, batteries and coolant are drained and disposed of safely.
- Reusable parts are recovered so good components get a second life.
- The steel shell is sent to certified recyclers and melted down again.
Keeping dead cars out of the driveway — and leaking fluids out of Richmond's storm drains — is a small win every pickup.
We speak your language
Richmond is home, and home speaks a lot of languages. Call and someone can usually help you in yours.
Real people behind the yard
There's no call centre here. When you dial 236-243-5975 you reach a local, owner-operated crew based right here in Richmond.
We started Cash For Cars Richmond for a simple reason: getting rid of a dead vehicle shouldn't be a hassle. Too many people get lowballed, chased for fees, or left waiting on a tow that never shows.
So we do it the straightforward way. You call, we quote, we show up when we say we will, and you get cash in hand. The same drivers you talk to are the ones who load your car.
We know Richmond because we live and work here — from Steveston to Bridgeport, the airport lands to the farms out east. That's who we are, and that's why folks call us back and send their neighbours our way.
Heavy equipment removal
Got a dead machine tying up a yard or job site? We buy and haul equipment too — tell us the make, size and location.
