If the car is registered to you
Visit ServiceOntario with valid ID to get a replacement vehicle permit. Then you can sell or scrap the car normally.
If the owner has passed away
The estate trustee or executor can sell the vehicle with the appropriate estate documents. Call us and we’ll explain what we need.
If you bought it but never transferred it
The registered owner needs to sign it over, or you’ll need to complete the transfer at ServiceOntario first.
Abandoned vehicle on your property
This is a different process involving your municipality or police. We can’t buy a vehicle that isn’t legally yours to sell.
This is general information, not legal advice. ServiceOntario has the final word on vehicle permits.
Ready to sell?
We handle the bill of sale and tow the car for free. See how scrap car removal works.
