Send the year, make, model, mileage, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), damage type and location. Include clear photos of the front, rear, both sides, interior and engine bay when safe. Accurate details reduce quote changes and help the team send the correct tow truck.

Sell an Accident-Damaged Car in 4 Steps
Confirm ownership first. Then provide the damage, access and vehicle details needed for a reliable quote and pickup plan.
1
Describe the vehicle
Send the year, make, model, mileage, VIN, damage type and location. State whether the car starts, rolls, steers and has keys.
2
Share damage photos
Photograph each side, the damaged area, wheels and interior when safe. Photos show missing parts, deployed airbags and towing needs.
3
Confirm offer and release
Review the offer and confirm that the insurer, lender, body shop or impound facility has released the vehicle for sale and pickup.
4
Complete pickup
Remove plates and belongings. Verify ownership, complete the required sale records, receive payment and release the vehicle to the driver.
7 Types of Damaged Vehicles We Assess
Describe every known issue. Damage severity affects parts value, title status, loading method and the final offer.
Front-end collisions
Vehicles with damaged bumpers, radiators, headlights, hoods, cooling systems, engines or front suspension.
Rear-end damage
Cars with crushed trunk floors, damaged quarter panels, broken tail lamps, exhaust damage or bent rear structures.
Side-impact vehicles
Cars with damaged doors, pillars, rocker panels, side airbags, wheels, steering or suspension components.
Rollover damage
Vehicles with roof, glass, pillar, airbag and body damage after a rollover or major loss of control.
Total-loss vehicles
Insurance write-offs and vehicles where estimated repairs exceed the insurer’s or owner’s economic threshold.
Mechanical damage after a crash
Vehicles with failed engines, transmissions, cooling systems, electronics or steering caused by collision damage.
Fire, flood and theft recovery
Special-condition vehicles may be considered when ownership, status, safety and pickup access are confirmed in advance.
6 Factors That Affect an Accident-Car Offer
A damaged vehicle is not priced from body damage alone. The buyer assesses the complete vehicle and the cost of safe collection.
Newer models and vehicles with strong parts demand may retain more salvage value.
Front, rear, side, rollover, fire and flood damage affect different systems and reusable parts.
Engine, transmission, catalytic converter, wheels, electronics and undamaged body parts can influence value.
Missing keys, wheels, battery, converter, drivetrain or body panels can reduce value and complicate loading.
Permit details, liens, insurer interest and branded vehicle status must be clear before sale.
Locked wheels, underground parking, storage facilities and blocked access require more equipment and time.
Send the VIN plus 6 photos: front, rear, left side, right side, interior and the main damaged area.
Confirm 5 Items Before Selling a Total-Loss Vehicle
A vehicle cannot be sold twice. Confirm who owns the damaged car and whether another party still controls its release.
1
Insurance decision
Ask whether the insurer is taking ownership or allowing owner-retained salvage. Do not sell after signing ownership to the insurer.
2
Lien or financing balance
Confirm whether a lender has a registered interest. A financed vehicle may require lender approval or settlement before transfer.
3
Body-shop or impound release
Confirm storage charges, release rules, hours and written authorization. The facility may refuse pickup until its account is cleared.
4
Vehicle permit and VIN
Match the VIN on the Ontario vehicle permit to the vehicle. Prepare valid photo identification for the registered owner.
5
Plates and personal items
Remove licence plates, insurance documents, toll devices, parking passes, tools, child seats and personal belongings.
Ontario Sale Records
ServiceOntario guidance covers the vehicle permit, bill of sale, VIN, licence plates and the Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP).
- Keep your licence plates and the plate portion of the permit.
- Use a bill of sale with vehicle, buyer, seller, date and price details.
- Check for liens or money owing before transfer.
- Ask ServiceOntario whether a UVIP exemption applies to the buyer or transaction.
Prepare the Location for Accident-Car Towing
Do not attempt to drive an unsafe vehicle. Give the driver enough information to plan a safe, legal collection.
Information to send
- Exact address and vehicle position
- Wheel, steering and brake condition
- Keys, ignition and parking-brake status
- Missing wheels, parts or loose body panels
- Gate, loading-dock and facility instructions
Situations needing planning
- Underground or low-clearance garage
- Vehicle blocked by other parked cars
- Locked wheels or collapsed suspension
- Body shop, dealer, storage or impound lot
- Fluid leaks, sharp metal or unstable components
Safety first: After a recent collision, follow police, collision-reporting, towing and insurance instructions before arranging a sale. This page covers vehicle disposal after the vehicle has been released for sale, not emergency accident response.
Compare 5 Costs Before Repairing a Written-Off Car
Use actual estimates. A low repair quote can rise after dismantling reveals structural, airbag, electrical or cooling-system damage.
Repair estimate
Include parts, labour, paint, calibrations, taxes and possible supplemental damage found during repair.
Pre-collision value
Compare the total repair cost with the vehicle’s realistic market value immediately before the accident.
Insurance settlement
Review the deductible, total-loss payment, salvage deduction and any owner-retained salvage terms.
Storage and downtime
Add daily storage, rental, transport and the value of time without the vehicle.
Future resale and safety
Consider branded status, inspection needs, repair quality, warranty limits and future buyer confidence.
Mechanical damage after a crash
Vehicles with failed engines, transmissions, cooling systems, electronics or steering caused by collision damage.
Fire, flood and theft recovery
Special-condition vehicles may be considered when ownership, status, safety and pickup access are confirmed in advance.
