West Vancouver, British Columbia
West Vancouver's professional car buyers. From Ambleside to Horseshoe Bay, we buy all vehicles and offer a premium, hassle-free service with complimentary pickup.
West Vancouver properties tend to have long, steep driveways cut into the hillside, and in the British Properties and Chartwell some of them switchback. A deck truck cannot always reverse up them, and a car with no brakes cannot be rolled down. Access is genuinely the defining question for a West Vancouver pickup, more than anywhere else we work.
We also see a lot of low-mileage vehicles here — second cars, estate vehicles, and cars that were garaged and barely driven. Low mileage is worth real money, and it is worth quoting properly rather than assuming an old car is automatically a scrap car.
Long switchback driveways in the British Properties and Chartwell need planning. A photo of the approach when you enquire tells us more than a paragraph of description.
A twenty-year-old car with 60,000km is a genuinely different proposition from the same model with 300,000km. Give us the real number and we will price it on its merits.
If you are selling a vehicle on behalf of an estate, the authority to sell needs to be documented before we collect. We will tell you what is needed rather than discovering the gap on the day.
Free pickup
We collect from every part of West Vancouver, including:

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 West Vancouver, 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 West Vancouver. 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.
British Columbia
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
Usually, but access is the first thing we want to establish for any West Vancouver pickup, and it matters more here than anywhere else we operate. Long switchback driveways cut into the hillside can be too tight for a full-size deck truck to reverse up or turn around in. The most useful thing you can do is send a photo of the driveway and the approach from the road when you request a quote. That tells us in seconds what a written description takes several exchanges to convey.
Documented authority to sell, sorted out before we come. If the registered owner has died, whoever is signing needs to be the executor or administrator and needs the paperwork that proves it, alongside their own photo ID. The specifics depend on how the estate is being handled, and it is worth a short conversation with us in advance. We would much rather tell you what is missing at the quoting stage than arrive, pay nothing and leave the vehicle where it is.
Very much so, and it is worth telling us the real odometer reading rather than rounding. Age and mileage are separate things. A twenty-year-old vehicle with 60,000km that lived in a garage is a materially different proposition from the same model with 300,000km, and the offers should not be close. Garaged, low-mileage and well-maintained cars are some of the better vehicles we buy on the North Shore, so do not assume an old car is automatically a scrap car.
No. West Vancouver is inside our free pickup area, Horseshoe Bay and the Upper Levels included, and there is no distance surcharge and nothing netted out of your offer for the bridge crossing. The quote you accept is the cash you are handed at collection. The only West Vancouver-specific thing that can affect a booking is driveway access, and that changes which equipment we send, not what we pay you.

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