Cars, Work Vehicles and Heavy Equipment, All in One Call

Most car buyers in Richmond stop at sedans and SUVs. We go further. Since 2018, Brighouse Commercial has picked up everything from a tired family car in Steveston to a retired box truck in Bridgeport and a boom truck that had not moved in years. If it is large, has value and needs to go, we want to hear about it.

Cash for Cars, Trucks and SUVs

Running, high kilometre, old or simply not needed anymore, we make offers on cars, pickups, SUVs and minivans in any condition. It is a faster option than listing a car online and waiting on strangers. See how it works on our cash for cars in Richmond page.

Scrap Car Removal

When a car has reached the end of the road, we take it off your hands and tow it away, usually at no cost to you. Our scrap car removal Richmond service covers cars that have been parked for months, failed to start for years, or are just taking up space you need.

Damaged and Non Running Vehicles

A dead engine, a seized transmission, flat tires or accident damage does not stop us. Our truck can winch a car that will not roll and pull it from a tight driveway or parkade. Read more about damaged and non running car removal.

Commercial Vehicles and Fleets

Cargo vans, box trucks, work pickups, boom trucks, buses, motorhomes, boats and trailers. Businesses retiring one unit or several can plan it all with one call. Learn about commercial vehicle removal in Richmond, or see our page for motorhome, RV, boat and trailer removal.

Heavy Equipment and Machinery

Forklifts, excavators, Bobcats and skid steers, generators, compressors and factory or warehouse machines. We review each item and explain the terms before anything is booked. Start with our heavy equipment removal Richmond page, or go straight to forklift removal or excavator and skid steer removal.

How Pickup Works

Selling a vehicle or machine should not take your whole week. Here is the whole process from first call to payment.

  1. Send the Details

    Call us or fill in the form with the make, model, year and condition. Add a few clear photos. For equipment, include the hour meter reading, approximate weight and size, and anything we should know about access at the site.

  2. Get a Clear Offer

    We look at what you sent and give you an offer. We also tell you what could change it, so there are no surprises later.

  3. Pick a Time

    Choose a time that works for you. Pickups are available same day or next day, depending on your schedule, any day between 8 am and 11 pm.

  4. Get Paid Before We Leave

    Our driver checks the vehicle against the details you sent, you sign the paperwork, and we pay you by cash or e-Transfer. Then we load it up and you are done.

What Is Your Car or Equipment Worth?

Offers for cars usually start at around $200. The final number depends on the vehicle’s condition and on current metal prices, which change week to week. That is why we only give an exact amount once you share the details.

What raises or lowers an offer

  • Weight and size: a full size truck or van is usually worth more than a compact car.
  • Completeness: the engine, transmission, wheels and catalytic converter all still in place.
  • Condition: running vehicles and newer models usually get more.
  • Metal prices: the market moves, so offers move with it.
  • Access: a car on a driveway is simpler than one in a low parkade or a muddy field.

Photos help us give you a firm number the first time. Find out more on our what is my car worth page.

Paid Before We Leave, With Free Towing on Most Pickups

We pay by cash or e-Transfer before our truck leaves your property. You never have to chase a payment or wait for a cheque in the mail.

Towing is free on most pickups, including cars, trucks, vans and most large equipment. For very large machines or difficult sites, we tell you up front if anything is different, before you agree to a time.

Our quote promise

Our Quote Promise

The offer we give you is the offer we pay, as long as the vehicle or equipment matches what you described. The only things that change an offer are a major part missing that was not mentioned, a different vehicle or machine at pickup, or paperwork that is not available. If anything does not match, our driver explains it before any paperwork is signed, and you are free to say no.

Paperwork You Need to Sell a Car in BC

Selling a car in British Columbia only takes a few documents, and we walk you through each one.

  • Vehicle registration (APV250): the registration you received from ICBC, signed by the registered owner.
  • Photo ID: so we can match you to the registration.
  • Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T): completed at pickup, with original signatures on all four pages.
  • Licence plates: take them off before the car leaves. If you are not moving them to another vehicle, return them to an Autoplan broker.
  • Autoplan policy: cancel it or move it to your next vehicle so you stop paying for a car you no longer own.

We buy vehicles with clear ownership only, so the registration must be in the seller’s name and the vehicle must be free of any loan. Selling for someone who has passed away? We can help when the executor shows legal authority. Our BC paperwork guide explains what to have ready.

Built for Richmond Businesses

Richmond runs on warehouses, job sites, delivery fleets and workshops. When a forklift stops earning its place, a work van reaches the end of its life, or a factory line shuts down, the last thing you want is five different calls. Brighouse Commercial handles cars, commercial vehicles and machinery in one visit where it makes sense.

Fleet and Work Vehicle Retirement

Retire one van or several trucks at once. We work around your hours, including evenings, so pickups do not get in the way of daily operations.

Factory and Warehouse Clear Outs

Shutdowns, moves and liquidations often leave machines behind. Send us a list with photos and we plan the pickup around your loading docks, gates and timing.

Construction and Job Site Equipment

Idle excavators, skid steers and generators taking up space on a site can be reviewed with photos and an hour meter reading. We tell you whether it is a cash offer or a no cost pickup before booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will I get for my car in Richmond?

Offers usually start at around $200 for a car. The final amount depends on the car’s condition, whether the main parts are still there, its size and weight, and current metal prices. Since metal prices change, we only give an exact number once you send the year, make, model and a few photos. Brighouse Commercial explains what could change the offer before you book, so the amount you agree to is the amount you are paid.

How do you pay?

We pay by cash or e-Transfer, and payment happens before our truck leaves. Our driver checks the vehicle or machine against the details you sent, you sign the paperwork, and then you are paid on the spot. You never wait for a cheque or chase a payment after the vehicle is gone.

Is towing free?

Towing is free on most pickups, including cars, trucks, vans and most heavy equipment in Richmond. For very large machines or difficult sites, we tell you before booking if anything is different. You will always know the terms before you agree to a pickup time.

How fast can you pick up?

Pickups are available same day or next day, depending on your schedule. We are open from 8 am to 11 pm every day, so early morning and evening pickups are possible. Send your details and photos and we will confirm the time that works for you.

What paperwork do I need to sell my car in BC?

You need the signed vehicle registration (APV250) and photo ID. The Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T) is completed at pickup, with original signatures on all four pages. Remove your licence plates before the car leaves and return them to an Autoplan broker if you are not reusing them, then cancel or move your Autoplan policy.

Can you remove a car that does not start?

Yes. Many of the cars we collect have not run for months or years. Our truck winches non running vehicles on board, and we can work with flat tires, locked wheels and missing keys. Tell us about the car and where it is parked so we bring the right setup.

What heavy equipment do you buy?

We look at forklifts, excavators, Bobcats and skid steers, generators, compressors, construction machines and factory or warehouse equipment. Send the make, model, hour meter reading, approximate weight and photos, plus details about access at the site. We review each item and explain the terms before booking.

Do you buy motorhomes, buses, boats and trailers?

Yes. Along with cars and work vehicles, Brighouse Commercial picks up motorhomes, buses, boats and trailers across Richmond. Send photos and the details and we will give you an offer and a pickup time.

What do you not take?

We do not sell parts, offer junk removal or pick up small items. That includes small appliances such as fridges and BBQs, and tires. Our focus is cars, commercial vehicles and heavy equipment.
