Cash for EV cars in Vancouver
Vancouver has more EVs per block than anywhere else in BC, and more of them parked in places a tow truck can't easily reach. We pick up crashed, dead and unwanted EVs from tower parkades, East Van lanes and street spots across the city.
- Underground parkades, laneway garages and street parking
- Every EV and hybrid, any condition
- Free flatbed pickup, paid at pickup

Pickups in a city built up and underground
A lot of Vancouver EVs live two or three levels down in a tower parkade. That's fine for daily driving and harder when the car won't move. Ramps are steep, clearances are low and gates need a fob. When you call, tell us the clearance posted at the entrance, the level and stall, and how we get in, and we'll plan the right way to bring the car up.
East Van is different again. Plenty of cars sit in garages or carports off the lane, where a flatbed has to back in between bins and power poles. Out west, in Kitsilano, Dunbar and Kerrisdale, it's more often a driveway or a street spot.
Street parking and a car that won't move
If your EV is dead on the street, don't let it sit. Under the City of Vancouver's impounding bylaw, a vehicle can be treated as abandoned after 14 days on a street, or sooner if it's unlicensed, uninsured, unplated or can't be driven. Once you cancel the insurance, the car shouldn't be parked on a street or lane at all. Book the pickup before you cancel.

Questions from Vancouver EV owners
Can you get an EV out of a downtown tower parkade?
Usually. Tell us the clearance height at the entrance, the level and stall, and how we get through the gate. With that we can plan the right equipment before we arrive.
My dead EV is parked on the street. Is that a problem?
It can be. Vancouver can treat a vehicle as abandoned after 14 days on a street, or sooner if it's uninsured or can't be driven. Book the pickup before you cancel insurance.
Do you pick up from body shops in Vancouver?
Yes. Tell us the shop and who to talk to, and settle any storage fees with them before we come.
