Cash for scrap cars, without the island headache.
Dead car stuck in the driveway? We coordinate the Snug Cove ferry, tow it off the island, and pay you cash on the spot — running or not.
Getting a dead car off Bowen is the hard part. That part's on us.
On the mainland you just call a scrap yard. Out here, a car that won't start means a ferry booking, a tow truck that has to cross Howe Sound, and a bill that eats whatever the car was worth. That's why old vehicles sit for years on driveways and acreages from Deep Bay to Cape Roger Curtis.
- We arrange the BC Ferries crossing from Snug Cove — you never book a sailing or drive it on.
- Our truck comes to your property, winches the car on, and hauls it away — no wheels or keys needed.
- You get paid cash before we leave. The ferry and tow costs are ours, not deducted from your offer.
If it's got four wheels and it's in the way, we'll take it.
Running or dead, rusted or wrecked, insured or long expired — we buy the vehicles that make island life hard to tidy up.
Scrap & junk cars
The beater that failed its last inspection and never left the island. Sedans, hatchbacks, the works.
Trucks & 4x4s
Old pickups and SUVs worn out by gravel roads and winters on Mount Gardner's slopes.
Vans & campers
Retired work vans and small motorhomes parked up on rural acreages and cottage lots.
Non-runners & write-offs
Blown engines, ICBC write-offs, no battery, no wheels — if it can't move on its own, we winch it.
Three steps, one crossing, cash in hand.

Every corner of the island, end to end.
From the ferry dock at Snug Cove to the far shores at Cape Roger Curtis, if you can reach it by island road, we can reach it with a truck.

Bowen Island scrap car FAQ
How much cash can I get for a scrap car on Bowen Island?

Do you handle the ferry and towing off the island?
Yes. Getting a dead car off Bowen is the whole reason we exist. We arrange the BC Ferries crossing from Snug Cove and bring our own truck to load and haul it — you don't book a ferry, drive it on, or pay for any of it.
Do you buy cars that don't run or won't start?
Absolutely. Non-runners, dead batteries, blown engines, no wheels, sitting for years on a gravel driveway or acreage — we winch and load it. It does not need to start or move.
Do you sell used auto parts?
No — we only buy and remove whole vehicles for cash. We don't sell parts and we don't offer roadside assistance or rescues.
What paperwork do I need to scrap my car in BC?
You need a piece of government photo ID and proof you own the vehicle — the registration is ideal. If you've lost the paperwork, call us and we'll walk you through what ICBC accepts before we come out.
How fast can you pick up on Bowen Island?
We batch island pickups around the ferry schedule, so it's usually same-day or next-day depending on sailings. Call in the morning and there's a good chance your car is gone by evening.
