Nepean Towing provides junk car removal in Ottawa for vehicles that are no longer wanted, no longer running, or taking up space on your property. Call (613) 619-4545 and we arrange pickup across the Ottawa-Gatineau area, tow the vehicle away, and handle the disposal process so you do not have to.
A junk car does not have to be wrecked or burned out. Any vehicle you want gone qualifies, whether it stopped running years ago, failed its safety inspection, was damaged in an accident, or is simply old and no longer needed. We tow it from wherever it sits, including driveways, backyards, and properties where the vehicle has not moved in years.
The term junk car covers a wide range of vehicles that Ottawa owners want removed. The vehicle does not need to be visually wrecked or completely stripped. Any of the following situations qualifies for junk car removal.
The process is straightforward. You call us with the vehicle details, location, and your ownership status. We discuss the vehicle condition and confirm a pickup time. On the day of pickup, we arrive with the appropriate truck, load the vehicle, and remove it from your property. You hand over the ownership documents at the time of pickup and the vehicle is processed from there.
Having the right documents and information ready before we arrive makes the pickup go smoothly and avoids delays. The most important item is the vehicle ownership document, which is the provincial certificate of registration in Ontario. This confirms that you are the registered owner and have the right to dispose of the vehicle. Without this, we cannot process the removal legally.
If you have lost the ownership document, contact ServiceOntario to request a replacement before calling us to schedule pickup. A vehicle without documentation requires additional steps that can delay the process.
Once the vehicle leaves your property, it is transported to a salvage facility where it is assessed. Usable parts may be catalogued and made available through our used auto parts inventory. The remaining vehicle is processed for metal recycling, which is the end destination for most scrap cars in Ottawa. Automotive recycling recovers a significant percentage of the materials in a vehicle, making junk car removal an environmentally responsible way to dispose of an end-of-life vehicle rather than leaving it to degrade on your property.

Yes. The Ontario certificate of registration confirms that you are the registered owner and have the legal right to dispose of the vehicle. Without it, we cannot process the removal. If you have lost the ownership document, contact ServiceOntario to request a replacement before scheduling pickup. The process is straightforward for most vehicles and typically takes a few business days.
Yes. A vehicle that has been sitting for years may have flat tires, a seized brake, or a dead battery, none of which prevent us from removing it. We assess the condition when we arrive and use the appropriate loading method, whether that is driving it onto a flatbed, winching it on, or using dollies for wheels that will not roll. The vehicle does not need to start or move under its own power for us to remove it.
Yes. You do not need the vehicle to be non-running or damaged to qualify for removal. If you have an old car that runs but is not worth selling privately, or a vehicle you simply want off your property, we remove it. Any vehicle you own and want disposed of is eligible, provided you have the ownership documents and valid ID at the time of pickup.
The value of a scrap car depends on the vehicle's weight, the current scrap metal prices, and whether any salvageable parts add to the value. Call us with the vehicle make, model, year, and general condition and we give you a figure based on those details. We do not quote a number over the website because scrap metal prices fluctuate and the specifics of the vehicle matter significantly to the final amount.
Yes, with the right documentation. If you are a property manager or landlord removing a vehicle that has been abandoned on your property, the process is different from an owner disposing of their own vehicle. Abandoned vehicle removal on private property in Ontario has specific rules around notification and waiting periods. Call us with the details of the situation and we advise on what is required before we can proceed with the removal.
Call Nepean Towing. We remove unwanted vehicles from properties across the Ottawa-Gatineau area and handle the disposal from start to finish.
