Has your old car finally stopped running? Maybe the engine gave out, the transmission failed, or it’s been sitting in your driveway for years. Jay buys cars, trucks, SUVs and vans around Ladner, running or not. Tell him a little about it, and he’ll give you an offer and arrange the pickup. No repairs, no fuss: just one call to 604-889-4470.
Pretty much anything with four wheels that you no longer want. That includes the sedan that won’t pass another repair bill, the pickup with a seized engine, the family SUV that was written off after a fender-bender, or the minivan the kids grew out of years ago. It doesn’t matter if it still drives or hasn’t moved since the last time the tires had air in them.
What Jay really wants to know is the year, make and model, roughly what shape it’s in, whether it’s still complete, and where it’s parked. That’s enough to start the conversation. You don’t need a mechanic’s report or a weight slip.
Honestly, it depends on the car, and that’s why Jay quotes each one by phone instead of posting a price list. The make and model matter, and so does completeness: a car that still has its engine, transmission, catalytic converter and wheels is a different conversation from one that’s been picked over for parts.
Things that people often worry about matter less than they think. A musty, mouldy interior, or a car that ran fine when it was parked three years ago but won’t start now, isn’t by itself a reason for Jay to lower his quote. What does change things is something major missing that wasn’t mentioned, so it pays to describe the car as it really is and say when you’re not sure.
Call 604-889-4470, describe the vehicle and Jay will give you an offer for that car, not a guess.
For the cars Jay buys, yes: the standard tow is on him. The exceptions are the unusual jobs, like a stripped shell with nothing left to buy or a vehicle that needs a genuinely complicated recovery. If yours falls into that category, Jay will tell you up front on the phone so there are no surprises on pickup day.
The car beside the house. Plenty of Ladner homes have one: an older car parked along the side of the driveway that was going to be fixed “one of these weekends.” If that weekend never came, it can go. Tell Jay how much room there is between the car and the fence, and whether anything is parked in front of it.
The truck out on the farm. On the rural properties toward East Ladner and Holly or out on Westham Island, an old pickup can sit behind a barn for a decade. Soft ground, long lanes and gates are all workable; Jay just needs to know about them before he heads out.
The car stuck at the mechanic. Sometimes the shop calls with a repair estimate that’s more than the car is worth. Instead of paying to get it home, you can ask Jay about buying it where it sits. Let the shop know someone is coming and confirm who will hand over the keys.
The estate or the house move. Clearing out a parent’s home or getting ready to sell often turns up a vehicle nobody wants to deal with. If you’re handling it for someone else, mention that when you call so you can sort out the authority to sell before pickup.
These are typical situations people call about, not descriptions of specific jobs.
Have the basics handy: the year, make and model, whether it runs, any big parts you know are missing, and the pickup address. It also helps to know where your registration and keys are. If either is missing, just say so; it’s better to sort that out on the phone than on the driveway.
You’ll also want to be able to sell it. That means you’re the owner, or you have the owner’s authority to sell. Having the keys alone doesn’t settle that, and an ICBC Autoplan broker can advise if the paperwork is unclear.
Go through the car one last time. Check the glovebox, the centre console, door pockets, under the seats, behind the sun visors and in the trunk. Garage remotes, parking passes and ferry cards are easy to forget. Put the keys and registration somewhere handy, and move bins, bikes or anything else out of the way if it’s safe to do so.
Jay takes a quick look to make sure the car matches what you described, goes over the paperwork with you and helps get your plates off if the screws are stubborn. Then the car is loaded onto his tow truck, using the winch when it can’t roll, and it’s on its way.
Keep your sale paperwork and plates together. Then talk to an ICBC Autoplan broker about your insurance, your plates and any registration steps. Don’t assume the car leaving your driveway updates your policy automatically.
Not every broken car should go to the scrapyard. If the body is solid and a mechanic has found a reasonable repair, fixing it might be the smarter move, especially if you rely on it every day. Compare the estimate with what the car will be worth afterward, and get a second opinion if the diagnosis feels uncertain.
But when one repair keeps leading to the next, or you’ve simply stopped needing the car, selling it is usually the easier path. Jay is happy to talk about buying it; a mechanic is the right person to judge the repair.
Ladner has a little bit of everything. Older neighbourhoods around Ladner Village, homes in Hawthorne and Holly, rural properties along Ladner Trunk Road, and farms out toward East Delta.
Not every junk car is sitting neatly in a driveway waiting for a tow truck. Some vehicles have been parked for years. Others are stuck at a repair shop because the cost of fixing them is more than they’re worth. Then there are old farm trucks, vans and cars that nobody has needed for a long time.
Jay’s Junk Car Towing provides scrap car removal throughout Ladner, including Port Guichon, West Ladner and the surrounding rural areas. With flatbed and wrecker tow trucks, we can remove vehicles from all kinds of locations and have them taken to approved BC recycling facilities.

All over town: from the older streets around Ladner Village to the farmland of East Ladner and Holly, the quieter crescents of West Ladner and the farms out on Westham Island. Wherever the car is, describe the entrance, the surface and the room for a truck.
Just south, Jay also serves Tsawwassen, including Beach Grove, Boundary Bay and Pebble Hill. For more detail, see how it works or the FAQ.
Yes. Most of the vehicles Jay buys around Ladner have stopped running for one reason or another: a blown engine, a failed transmission, electrical trouble or simply years of sitting. You don't need to get it started or explain exactly what went wrong. Just tell Jay what you know when you call.
Missing keys don't automatically rule out a pickup. Let Jay know whether the steering is locked and whether the wheels turn, if you can tell. Those details help him plan how to load it. Please don't force a lock or try to move a car that isn't safe to move.
Mention it when you call rather than waiting until pickup day. Explain whether you're the registered owner or selling on the owner's behalf. An ICBC Autoplan broker can tell you how to replace missing registration and which documents apply to your situation.
No. Your vehicle rides on Jay's insured tow truck, so it never needs to be driven or made roadworthy. If you have questions about cancelling a policy or what happens to your plates afterward, an ICBC Autoplan broker is the right person to ask.
Often, yes, but talk it through with Jay first. Handing over keys is not the same as having authority to sell, so confirm the owner's permission and the paperwork before the day. Leaving keys with a neighbour on its own isn't enough to complete a sale.
Don't risk cutting your hands forcing them. Jay carries tools and can help with seized or stripped screws at pickup, although not every bolt comes off easily. Keep your plates and ask an ICBC Autoplan broker what to do with them.
Often it can. Describe where it sits, what the ground is like and what's grown up around it. Jay can back the truck in and use a winch where that's safe and practical. Some recoveries need extra work, and he'll talk that through with you before booking.
It depends on his schedule, your location and what the job needs. Give Jay the address and any restrictions, such as a gate that's only open at certain times, and he'll offer a pickup time that actually works. There's no promised same-day service.
