Burnaby, British Columbia
Selling your car in Burnaby? We buy cars, trucks, and SUVs throughout Burnaby, from Metrotown to Brentwood. Get a fair cash offer and free pickup anywhere in the city.
Burnaby covers a lot of very different ground. A Metrotown condo owner selling a second car has almost nothing in common with a Burnaby Heights family clearing a driveway, or an SFU student offloading a first car before moving away. We buy from all of them, and the pickup looks different each time.
The city's geography matters more than people expect. Burnaby Mountain and Capitol Hill are steep enough that a car with failing brakes or no drivetrain is genuinely unsafe to move without proper equipment. We would rather bring a deck truck than have you try to coast something down Gaglardi.
High-rise parkades around Metrotown and Brentwood are a large share of our Burnaby pickups. Book with the stall number and we will coordinate loading dock access with your building if that is what it takes.
End-of-term is busy for us on Burnaby Mountain. If you are leaving the country and need the car gone by a fixed date, say so when you book and we will schedule against your deadline rather than ours.
A vehicle that has not moved in two or three years usually has seized brakes and flat-spotted tires. That does not reduce what we will pay, but it does change the equipment we bring, so mention it up front.
Free pickup

Three steps
No listing to write, no test drives with strangers, no waiting on a cheque to clear.
STEP 01
Year, make, model, rough mileage, and an honest word on condition. Photos help for anything with damage, rust, or awkward access — a steep driveway or an underground parkade is worth mentioning now rather than on the day.
STEP 02
One figure, no obligation, and it is the figure you get paid. We price rust, high mileage and non-runners at the quoting stage rather than discovering them on your driveway and renegotiating.
STEP 03
We come to Burnaby, look the vehicle over, and hand you the cash before it goes on the truck. You sign the ICBC Transfer/Tax Form, keep your plates, and that is the whole process.
What we buy
Condition changes the number, never whether we are interested in a vehicle in Burnaby. Do not spend money on repairs to improve an offer — you will rarely get it back.
Low mileage, clean body, full service history. Often garaged second cars that were barely driven.
Drives well, normal wear for its age. The everyday commuter that has simply been replaced.
Runs, but needs work. Failed inspections, tired brakes, a slipping transmission, warning lights on.
Body damage, heavy corrosion, or a repair bill well past what the car is worth to fix.
Seized brakes, dead battery, flat-spotted tires, parked since 2015. We bring the winch and the deck truck.
Lapsed insurance does not stop a sale. It is exactly why we come to you rather than asking you to drive it over.
No obligation
Tell us about the vehicle and we’ll come back with a fair cash offer within 24 hours.

APV9TThe ICBC Transfer/Tax Form. You sign it at collection, alongside your registration and matching photo ID.
PLATESIn BC your plates stay with you, never with the car. Take them off before we load it.
REFUNDBring the plates and your signed copy to any Autoplan broker to cancel insurance and claim what you are owed.
LIENMoney still owed against the vehicle has to be cleared first — ownership cannot transfer cleanly until it is.
NO TESTAirCare ended in 2014. There is no inspection certificate to get before a private sale.
Local questions
Yes, and they are some of our most common Burnaby pickups. A car that has not turned a wheel since 2019 will typically have seized brakes, a dead battery and tires that have gone flat-spotted or perished. None of that stops us buying it. What it changes is the equipment — we bring a deck truck and winch rather than expecting to drive it away — so tell us how long it has been sitting when you book.
Give us a date and we will work to it. End-of-term is our busiest stretch on Burnaby Mountain and we are used to hard deadlines from students flying out. The one thing to sort in advance is proof you are entitled to sell: if the vehicle is registered in your name you are fine, but if it is in a parent's or roommate's name, they need to be the one signing, or you need written authorisation from them.
Routinely. The practical constraints in those towers are ramp clearance and whether we can get access without a fob. Let your building manager know we are coming, give us the stall number, and if there is a loading bay with better clearance than the ramp, mention it — that is often the easier route out for a non-running vehicle.
No. Burnaby is well inside our free pickup area and we do not discount offers by distance within Greater Vancouver. What actually moves the number is the vehicle itself: year, make, model, mileage, whether it runs and drives, and the condition of the body and interior. Pickup from Edmonds costs you exactly the same as pickup from Mount Pleasant, which is nothing.
Everything below applies anywhere in British Columbia, Burnaby included.

No obligation
A quote is a figure to consider, not a commitment. Take it away, compare it, sleep on it.
