Quality Auto Parts for Most Makes and Models

Bring your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) or the year, make, and model of your vehicle. The VIN is the most accurate way to match parts, because trims and engine types vary from one model to another. Our parts staff will use your VIN to confirm exact fitment so you get the right part the first time.

Yes. We offer new, aftermarket, and quality recycled/used parts, depending on the component and availability. Recycled parts can be a great budget-friendly option — and in many cases, they come from low-mileage vehicles with lots of life left in them.

Absolutely. Recycled parts are inspected for condition and function. Many come from vehicles that were written off due to body damage, not mechanical failure. They’re a practical choice when you want to keep an older car on the road without overspending.

Yes. New parts come with manufacturer warranties. Used or recycled parts typically include a limited warranty, depending on the item. Ask us when buying — we’ll explain the coverage clearly.

Yes. If we don’t have it on hand, we can usually source it quickly through our network. This is common for older models, rare trims, and certain engine or electrical components. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe before you commit.

Returns depend on the part type and condition. New parts generally need to be unused and in original packaging. Used parts must be returned in the same condition. We review every return fairly — our goal is always to find the right solution, not make things harder.

Mechanical & Tire Services

You can call us, visit in person, or request a time through our contact page. A quick description of the issue helps us recommend the right appointment length.

Yes, always. We’ll explain the issue, outline your options, and give you a clear estimate before starting. If something unexpected comes up, we call you first for approval.

It depends on the job.

  • Brakes: often same day
  • Suspension: same day or next day
  • Diagnostics: varies by issue
  • Engine or transmission replacements: typically longer, depending on parts availability

We’ll give you a realistic timeline at drop-off.

Our inspections cover major safety and reliability points:

  • Brakes and rotors
  • Suspension and steering
  • Fluids and belts
  • Tires and alignment wear
  • Leaks, noises, and warning lights

If something needs attention sooner rather than later, we’ll tell you in clear terms.

Most tire installs take 30–60 minutes, depending on your rims, tire size, and balancing requirements.

Yes. You can bring your own tires or buy new/used ones from us. Either way, we’ll mount and balance them properly.

Scrap & Junk Car Buying

We buy:

  • Scrap and junk cars
  • Non-running vehicles
  • Accident-damaged vehicles
  • High-mileage cars are not worth repairing
  • Old cars taking up space

If you’re unsure, just call; most vehicles qualify.

No. We buy non-running and incomplete vehicles. If it can’t move, we arrange towing.

Yes. For most scrap or junk cars in Toronto, Etobicoke, and nearby areas, towing is free. Pickups are typically same day or next day, depending on schedule — which is standard among reputable Toronto scrap car services.

Call with your year, make, model, location, and condition. We’ll give you a fair price based on weight, demand, parts value, and current scrap rates.

In most cases, you need:

  • The vehicle ownership (green permit)
  • Your photo ID
  • The plates removed before pickup

After the vehicle is gone, you should notify your insurer and ServiceOntario (general guidance, not legal advice).

Payment is made on the spot when the vehicle is picked up — either in cash or e-transfer, whichever you prefer.

Vehicles are processed responsibly. Fluids, batteries, tires, and metals are handled according to Ontario recycling guidelines. Usable parts may be saved; the rest is recycled as scrap metal.
