What Do Ignition Coils Do on a Car?

If you’ve ever owned a vehicle that has over 150,000 kms on it, you know that things like spark plugs and ignition coils tend to need replacing around that mileage. Which leaves many people wondering, “what do ignition coils do on a car?”.

Because unless you’ve ever had to replace them, most people wouldn’t think to ask that question. And usually when you are advised that you need to do them, and find out the price, you start to assess how badly they need to be done. And what they even do.

Today’s blog post will answer the questions, “what do ignition coils do on a car?”, address the need to replace them, the average costs associated with them, and many other useful bits of information.

What Are Ignition Coils on a Car?

Knowing what ignition coils do on a car starts with knowing what exactly they are. Because while many car parts and components may be self-explanatory, ignition coils are considerably more vague.

Ignition coils are key components in a car’s ignition system. Essentially, their job is to take the car battery’s low voltage and transform it into the thousands of volts needed to create a spark in the spark plugs.

That spark ignites the air-fuel mixture inside each cylinder, which is what makes the engine run. Think of it as the heart of your vehicle (And we all know how important our heart is).

How Do You Know If Your Ignition Coils Are Bad?

Just like any other vehicle part, component, or system, you’ll have definitely signs and symptoms when your ignition coils are failing or have failed.

And knowing the signs is imperative because if you don’t replace your engine coils in a reasonable amount of time, you could experience issues that have the potential to cause real engine damage.

Signs Your Ignition Coils Are Bad Include:

• Rough idling
• Hard starts
• Loss of power/overall performance
• Engine misfiring
• Poor or slowly worsening gas mileage
• Check engine light illuminated
• Sputtering, shuddering, or vibrations

The above noted signs and symptoms can also mimic other more severe problems. So, before diagnosing your vehicle’s issues yourself, be sure to visit a professional car mechanic like the good people at Two Brothers Automotive Service in North Vancouver.

How Much Does It Cost to Repair Bad Ignition Coils on a Car?

The cost associated with replacing faulty ignition coils can vary greatly. You could be looking at a couple hundred dollars, or up to $1000, depending on the type of vehicle that you drive.

A smaller domestic car is usually cheaper to repair than an import or luxury sedan. Prices ranger between $200 – $500 for ignition coils. Moreover, an SUV or crossover will be more expensive to replace the ignition coils on because the cost of each coil is higher.

Additionally, the cost will also depend on how many ignition coils you have. And also, whether or not your car requires a coil pack, rather than individual ignition coils.

How Do I Know If My Car Is Misfiring?

An engine misfire occurs when one or more cylinders fail to ignite properly, causing rough performance and potential damage if left untreated. Recognizing the symptoms early can help prevent costly repairs.

Common Signs of an Engine Misfire Include:

• Rough idling: The engine shakes or vibrates noticeably while stationary.
• Loss of power: Acceleration feels weak or uneven.
• Check engine light: Often illuminates due to misfire detection.
• Unusual sounds: Popping, sputtering, or backfiring noises from the exhaust.
• Poor fuel economy: Increased fuel consumption due to inefficient combustion.
• Difficulty starting: The engine may struggle to start or stall unexpectedly.

A misfiring engine might make you feel uneasy when you experience a sudden loss of power and notice that your monthly fuel costs are rising.

However, there are many other more catastrophic factors that can happen if you know your engine is misfiring and fail to do the repairs required to fix it.

What Happens If You Don’t Fix a Misfiring Engine?

Long term damage is one of the most prevalent issues that you’ll experience if you fail to repair an engine that is misfiring, no matter what the root cause is of those misfires.

If You Don’t Fix a Misfiring Engine, You Could Experience:

• Catalytic converter damage
• Increased emissions
• Severe engine damage requiring replacement
• Ignition system failure
• Fuel system issues and/or failure

If your catalytic converter gets damaged, it can cost thousands of dollars to repair. The same goes for needing an engine replacement.

It could cost most than what your vehicle might actually be worth currently. Which is why many people consider scrapping their vehicle with More Cash For Scrap instead when repairs like this are needed.

How Much Will It Cost to Replace My Ignition Coils?

On a economy SUV, you’re looking at between $600 – $900 just for the ignition coils. This is mostly due to a markup on car parts. However, there is usually a half an hour to an hour of labour involved as well.

What’s more is that if you need to replace the spark plugs at the same time, you’ll be looking at an additional $200, on average. Once again, this will depend on the type of vehicle you drive, and whether or not they need to even replace the spark plugs.

Due to the price variances, many BC residents choose to scrap their car with More Cash For Scrap instead of replacing their spark plugs and coils. Because if you drive a vehicle only worth about $1000, it’s not worth it to put $1000 into it just to change some coils.

Why Do They Change Spark Plugs When Changing Ignition Coils?

A common replacement that is done when a vehicle’s ignition coils get replaced are the spark plugs. This is commonly done because the two components work synergistically together to ignite the air-fuel mixture in your engine’s cylinders.

Spark plugs and ignition coils work together to ignite the air-fuel mixture in an engine’s cylinders. The ignition coil converts the car’s low-voltage electricity from the battery into a high-voltage current. This high voltage is then sent to the spark plug, which creates a spark across its small gap.

The spark ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture, producing the combustion that powers the engine. Each ignition coil and spark plug must function precisely and in sync for efficient engine performance, fuel economy, and smooth vehicle operation.

Cash for Scrap Cars with Bad Ignition Coils

You might think that scrapping a car over $600-$1000 is silly. However, it’s one of the most common things we see in the scrap car removal business.

Because the reality is that many junk vehicles that we purchase are over 20 years old. Moreover, they have many other issues going on under the hood aside from failing ignition coils.

And when you combine a $600 mechanic’s bill with other smaller repair bills, plus whatever other issues might be on the horizon, it’s a more practical decision to scrap your car for cash with a professional scrap car removal service like ours.

What Is a Rebuilt Status on a Car?

Today’s blog post will cover some of the different statuses used to describe the state of a vehicle. And we’ll answer one of the most commonly asked questions in the used car buying industry, “what is a rebuilt status on a car?”.

The term rebuilt can be intimidating. However, it’s not as ominous as it first appears. Because a rebuilt title can mean a wide variety of things. Particularly in this day and age where the price of anything always seems to be on the rise.

We’ll explore why vehicles get deemed as rebuilt, what’s involved with buying a rebuilt car, and whether or not it’s a sensible investment. We composed today’s blog post based off of our own experiences as a professional scrap car removal company in Metro Vancouver.

Why Does It Mean When a Car Has a Rebuilt Status?

For anyone considering buying a used vehicle, you’ll notice that you come across a lot of different terms that explain the condition of the vehicle.

Great, good fair, poor, are all terms used to describe what state the vehicle is. And they are self-explanatory.

However,” rebuilt” is a common, but vague description of an automobile. And one that really needs elaboration to avoid purchasing a lemon.

Rebuilt Status Definition Canada

In British Columbia, a vehicle with “rebuilt” status means that it was previously written off by ICBC and has since been rebuilt to be roadworthy.

And in order to get that status, it must meet certain standards and specifications that comply with certain criteria as set out by ICBC.

Typically, a vehicle will be deemed a “total loss” by ICBC before becoming a rebuilt vehicle. And this can occur for a variety of reasons.

What Causes a Car to Be Deemed “Rebuilt”?

It’s a common misconception that a “rebuilt” vehicle has been totaled in a major collision. Because nowadays, vehicles can be written off for a variety of reasons. And with the cost of everything going up constantly, it doesn’t take much to write off a car these days.

Reasons a Vehicle May Get Written Off Include:

• Vandalism damage
• Collision damage
• Structural damage from improper modifications
• Major glass damage
• Significant interior damage
• Minor repairs covered by insurance, but huge depreciation
• Unrecovered theft

As you can see, a variety of issues can lead a vehicle into the total loss category. And something less damaging, such as vandalism, can greatly reduce the cost to buy a vehicle once repaired, with minimal damage being the cause of its rebuilt status.

Rebuilt Status Meaning in BC

Many used car dealerships, new car dealerships, and even some repair shops will invest the time and money to get the vehicle to a point where it can be resold again.

However, the repairs can be complex, depending on why it was written off by ICBC.

And the vehicle must pass an ICBC vehicle inspection that ensures the automobile is entirely mechanically and structurally sound before it can be resold.

What’s Required to Get a Vehicle to Rebuilt Status?

After a vehicle is written off by ICBC, it can be resold and reinsured once repaired to certain standards.

And while the repairs will naturally vary vehicle to vehicle, damage to damage, the standards that are set out in British Columbia are the same.

Rebuilt Status Requirements Include:

• The vehicle must be repaired to a roadworthy standard: structural integrity, safety systems (airbags, seat belts), mechanical systems.
• It must pass inspections mandated by the provincial authority. For example, in British Columbia, a “Private Vehicle Inspection (PVI)” and a structural inspection for vehicles formerly with salvage status.
• Documentation is often required: photos of damage, receipts for parts, proof the rebuild was done properly.
• Once approved, the title/ownership record is updated to show “rebuilt” (or equivalent) and the car can be registered, licensed, and driven like any other vehicle (though with disclosure).

In many cases with slightly older vehicles, the rebuilt version is almost, if not, better than the previous one. Because aging and older vehicles can usually have issues related to things other than the damage that causes it to be written off. And these issues will usually be addressed before inspection.

Are Rebuilt Cars Good to Buy?

Rebuilt vehicles offer consumers a potentially great vehicle at extraordinary savings. Because you can get a vehicle that is much newer, at about half to a third of its usual cost.

Additionally, rebuilt vehicles are under the microscope when it comes to repairs. Because in order to be resold or insured again, the vehicle must pass stringent BC vehicle inspection standards.

This can often lead to a better vehicle than it once was. Because when vehicles are mass produced, there is a lot of room for error. The errors lead to recalls, safety issues, and even poor vehicle reliability and performance.

However, when a vehicle gets rebuilt, in some cases, it can be even better than it was before it was written off, depending on the condition of the car before it was deemed a total loss.

ICBC Status Definitions

Aside from the term “rebuilt”, you’ve probably also heard of “salvage” status, or “altered” status. And these, just like rebuilt all infer a specific designation, depending on what condition the vehicle is or was in when it was assessed by ICBC.

Altered Status

An altered vehicle status designation is usually assigned to a vehicle that has been modified after it was produced or manufactured by the company that made it. And this is usually only assigned to a vehicle when certain modifications have been made.

Any modification that impacts the structural integrity of a vehicle is subject to being titled as altered. This can include a variety of changes. But the most common ones are:

• Converting a vehicle from one fuel source to another
• Modifications to the chassis
• Excessive suspension adjustments or “lifts”
• When a vehicle is “homemade” or has combined at least two different vehicle types together
• Modified or home-built vehicles will only acquire an altered status designation one it has passed the BC vehicle inspection requirements.

If there are any issues found during inspection, the owner will be required to rectify them and bring their vehicle for inspection again.

Salvage Status

This is a designation we see a lot in the scrap car removal industry. Because when you’ve spent over 30 years scrapping cars for cash in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, salvage vehicles are a daily occurrence.

A salvage status designation is usually the preliminary title for vehicles that are then later considered rebuilt by ICBC.

Because a salvage title means that the vehicle is a total loss. And this is the first stage of becoming a rebuilt car later. All a salvage title means is that the vehicle has the potential to be fixed and roadworthy again.

Non-Repairable Status

This title is pretty self-explanatory, but we will still elaborate. A non-repairable title is assigned to a vehicle that has catastrophic damage that will never be able to be repaired.

This is typical for vehicles that have bent frames in particular. Which is something we see quite often in the scrap car removal industry. Particularly with older or aging vehicles, or newer vehicles that were involved in a major collision.

These vehicles will never be allowed back on the road again. They cannot be insured or repaired, even if significant repairs are completed on the vehicle. Because of potential safety issues, no amount of repairs will get these vehicles back on the road again.

Why Is My Car Shaking?

For those of you who drive an aging vehicle, a high mileage vehicle, or drive a vehicle that you purchased used recently, you’ll want to read this blog post. Because one of the most commonly asked question for people in these situations is, “why is my car shaking?”.

It can suddenly come on out of the blue, or it can start as a slight vibration, and slowly worsen over time.

Additionally, it could have been present at the time that you bought your vehicle if you purchased used. However, the issue that the previous owner thought it was might not actually be the problem.

What Makes a Car Suddenly Shake?

Most vehicles don’t typically start shaking suddenly and without warning. That’s not to say that it doesn’t happen at all, but it’s just not as common as a progressive shake that has evolved over time.

From bad brakes to a faulty sway bar to even something as simple as tire or wheel damage; we’ll discuss in detail what the most common causes of a car shaking are and what to do about it in today’s blog post.

We are a professional scrap car removal company that has been buying scrap cars across the Lower Mainland since 2005. We have seen and hear it all when it comes to mechanical failures and defects. And today, we’ll share some of the knowledge and experience with you.

What Is My Car Shaking When Driving?

When it comes to shaking on a vehicle, it’s not so much the severity of the shake that helps a mechanic determine what is causing it, as it is when the shake is happening.

Because if your vehicle is shaking only when you brake, that could signal worn, damaged, or malfunctioning brake systems.

But if your vehicle is shaking when you accelerate, that could imply that the transmission is struggling, the engine isn’t secure, and a whole host of other problems.

The Most Common Causes of Car Vibrations

With such a plethora of causes of vehicle vibrations, shaking, and shuddering, we’ve broken down which issues you may be experiencing, and what can cause it below.

1. Car Shaking When Idling

Aging vehicles, like the ones we buy across the Lower Mainland, have a natural tendency to shake or vibrate when idling.

This is due in part to worn engine components and tired transmissions, but it can also signal a deeper and more costly repair that is on the horizon.

The Most Common Causes of Your Car Shaking When Idling Include:

• Loose or damaged engine mounts
• Malfunctioning idle control valve
• Miscellaneous vacuum leaks
• Worn spark plugs (should be changed approximately every 150,000 kms)
• Failing fuel pump
• Malfunction throttle position sensor
• Dirty fuel injectors
• Damaged or worn belts
• Clogged fuel filter
• Faulty camshaft timing

As you can see, there are many different reasons that your vehicle will shake, shuddering, or vibrate while sitting at idle. It could be something minor, or something more in depth.

The best way to determine what you’re dealing with is to have your vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic like the good people at Hudson Automotive in Langley, BC.

2. Car Shaking When Accelerating

If the shaking you’re feeling only happens when you’re accelerating, it could be one of several different causes. And these issues are particularly common amongst older or high mileage vehicles.

Possible Causes of Car Shaking When Accelerating Include:

• Wheels not balanced
• CV joint damage or failure
• Engine issues like misfires or worn engine mounts
• Driveshaft malfunction
• Failing transmission
• Damaged tires or wheels (or both)
• Suspension issues
• Sway bar issues

The most common problems we see as a scrap car buyer that cause vehicle vibration or shaking when accelerating are failing transmissions, failing engines, or suspension problems.

And when that happens on an older vehicle, many Lower Mainland residents turn to the scrap car removal services of More Cash For Scrap instead of doing a costly repair.

3. Car Shaking When Braking

If you’re noticing that your vehicle is shaking when you’re braking, the most likely cause is, you guessed it, your brakes!

Because any issue that happens when you apply the brake, typically means that something within your brake system is malfunctioning or failing. And the most common cause of shaking when braking on a car is bad, worn, or damaged rotors.

Additionally, it can also be due some of the following:

• Extremely worn brake pads
• Suspension issues
• A poor wheel alignment
• A seized brake caliper
• Tires with cupping, bulging, or minimal tread

If your vehicle is shaking when braking, the cost to repair it is likely more inexpensive than if it were shaking upon acceleration or idle.

However, complete brake jobs or major suspension work can be costly in some cases, depending on the type of vehicle you drive, and its age.

4. Car Shaking When I Turn

If you’re noticing that your vehicle shakes when you’re turning corners, it could be something as simple as a bumpy road, unfilled potholes, or even the desperate need for a wheel alignment.

However, it could also signal a much bigger issue, or multiple issues, that need to be properly addressed by a professional mechanic.

Most Common Causes of Car Shaking When Turning Include:

• Suspension problems
• Damaged, worn, or over inflated tires
• Damaged wheels
• Failing CV axle
• Poor wheel alignment
• Limited or no traction (on slippery roads)
• Steering system malfunction
• Extremely bumpy roadways

No matter what the reason for your vehicle shaking, it’s always a good idea to have it inspected by professional to rule out any potential safety risks.

This is especially common with older vehicles or vehicles with high mileage. Which is why many Lower Mainland residents choose to scrap their car with us instead of doing costly repairs.

“Problem Car” Alert ⚠️ Jeep Compass

This month’s Problem Car Alert goes to the ever popular, though highly troubled, Jeep Compass. Although it is a very versatile vehicle it’s not without its own share of problems.

Because despite the company’s efforts to keep the Compass in better standing than previous years, consumers in recent years have frequently reported various issues that don’t reflect the true namesake of Jeep.

As a professional scrap car removal company serving Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, our problem car alerts are based off of what we see throughout our industry, as well as Transport Canada’s information and public consumer reports.

Jeep Compass Pros and Cons

For many people, owning a Jeep is more of a project, and almost an obsession. Because most Jeep owners are enthusiasts about the brand and its rich history.

And while Jeep vehicles do tend to maintain their resale value incredibly well, certain models are riddled with mechanical issues. The Jeep Compass is one of them.

Today’s blog post is about what issues have been most commonly reported by Jeep Compass owners over the years. Along with any recalls that have been issued, and where you can check to see if your vehicle has been affected by a recall.

Jeep Compass Most Common Problems

No vehicle on the market today is perfect. There never has been a perfect car, and there probably never will be.

Because when you mass produce anything, errors will always happen. Regardless of how much focus and forethought goes into the design and engineering.

Which is why knowing what problems to expect on your vehicle is essential at keep your vehicle running longer and better. Below are the most common problems reported by consumers about the Jeep Compass.

Jeep Compass Problems

1. Transmission Issues

Transmission problems are a part of life when you’re a vehicle owner. Because no matter how much you stay on top of routine maintenance, vital components, like your transmission, all have an expiration date.

However, with the Jeep Compass, many consumers have reported various transmission issues occurring prematurely.

From overheating, to shifting problems, to complete failure; transmission problems are definitely something you need to keep an eye (and an ear) out for if you own a Jeep Compass.

Signs Your Transmission Is Failing Include:

• Rough shifting
• Difficulty switching gears
• Hesitation
• Loss of power
• Thumping when you start your car
• Vibration
• New or worsening unusual noises
• Worsening gas mileage

Some of the signs that your transmission is bad can also be indicators of other major systems failure in your vehicle. So, be sure to have your car properly assessed and diagnosed by our friends at Andy’s All Transmissions in Surrey.

2. Electrical Problems

Electrical issues on any vehicle is one of the most time-consuming problems to diagnose, and repair for mechanics. Because typically, when one thing starts to short out or malfunction, there are several others because they all work synergistically.

The list of electrical problems on the Jeep Compass as reported by consumers is lengthy and seems to keep growing. Because any issue that involves wiring, connectivity, or voltage, usually has a ripple effect.

Reported Electrical Problems on the Jeep Compass Include:

• Failing/malfunctioning power door locks/windows/sunroofs
• Interior dashboard lighting issues (flickering or dimming)
• Repeated blown headlights and taillights
• Premature battery failure
• Parasitic drain
• Malfunctioning rear wiper
• Failed wiper motor (front)
• Inability to use radio (frequent or infrequent)
• Rear camera failure
• Lane assist or collision avoidance failure/malfunction

The list goes on and on, and as mentioned, seems to keep growing. So, if you’ve noticed little inconsistencies with something electrical based on your Compass, have it looked at by a professional to rule out a bigger issue.

3. Suspension Issues

Jeeps are known for going off road, and Jeep owners seem to love pushing their vehicles to the limits.

So, naturally, when you’re having suspension issues and can’t use your vehicle the way you intended, it can be frustrating. And it can also be expensive when it comes to suspension issues.

Some Jeep Compass used have reported broken bushings, prematurely worn tie rods, shocks, structs, and various other damaged suspension components.

Fortunately, we pay MORE cash for scrap cars with suspension issues. And we do so while providing free roadside vehicle removal from anywhere in the Lower Mainland.

4. Brake System Malfunction

One of the most important parts of any vehicle is its braking system. Because without properly working brakes, you pose a huge safety risk to yourself, your passengers, and anyone else on the road around you.

The Jeep Compass has been reported to have a variety of failing brake system components. Which is probably why we purchase so many scrap Jeep Compasses across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

Reported Jeep Compass Brake System Issues Include:

• Grinding, squeaking, & squealing
• Premature wear on brake pads and rotors
• Seized calibers
• Failed or malfunctioning ABS system
• Wobbling when driving straight
• Shaking when braking hard/suddenly
• Brake fluid leaks
• Loss of stopping power
• Burning smell before brakes are too far gone

As a professional scrap car buyer, we see many aging vehicles, or ones with high mileage, suffering with braking issues.

However, Lower Mainland residents are grateful that we pay MORE cash for scrap cars with braking problems than any other scrap car removal company.

5. Engine Malfunction and/or Failure

Engine failure is one of the most expensive and inconveniencing repairs needed on a vehicle. And if you’ve ever owned a Jeep Compass, you may already know this from personal experience.

Many Jeep Compass owners have reported failing engines or complete engine failure on their SUVs. This happens far earlier than anticipated, and results in thousands of dollars in repairs to get their vehicle back on the road.

Signs Your Engine Is Failing On Your Car:

• Knocking
• Stalling
• Burning smell
• Hard starts
• Loss of power
• Worsening gas mileage
• Engine misfiring
• Check engine light illuminated
• Vehicle runs rough at idle
• Engine overheating
• Excessive, blue, or white exhaust smoke
• New or worsening vibrations

We buy a LOT of late model vehicles with dead engines. Because Lower Mainland residents know that we truly pay MORE cash for cars with dead engines than any other scrap car buyers in BC.

6. Interior Water Leaks

You might think that interior water leaks aren’t exactly a safety issue, but you could be mistaken.

Because although water inside your car is an inconvenience, it can lead to things like mould, mildew, and of course, rust.

These things are all bad for your vehicle’s resale value, and they are detrimental to your health if you breathe them in long enough.

Jeep Compass Recalls in Canada

Just like any vehicle on the market today, when repeated issues become known to car manufacturers, often times a recall is issued.

It depends on a variety of things like how frequent the reports are, how similar they are, what safety risk they pose, if any, and whether or not the automaker themselves because away of a flaw during production.

The Current Jeep Compass Recalls in Canada Are:

• Malfunctioning rear brake caliber piston
• Oil pump housing malfunction or failure
• Airbag module assembly

These three recalls are some of the most recent, and most occurred in certain Jeep Compass models. Check your VIN HERE at Jeep’s website to see if your vehicle is one of the ones affected, and for more information about previous and present recalls.

What Years of the Jeep Compass Were Affected?

Not every single Jeep Compass that was produced has suffered any or all of the above problems. Because every vehicle is unique, even when they are produced the same way, from the same car maker, and from the same warehouse.

One disadvantage to producing things to the masses is that no matter how hard you try, there is and always will be some vehicles that suffer issues due to that mass production system.

Worst Years for the Jeep Compass Include:

• 2007
• 2008
• 2011
• 2012
• 2014
• 2016
• 2017
• 2018
• 2019

Significant improvements have been made for models produced after 2020. If you currently own an older Jeep Compass and want to scrap it for quick cash, give our scrap car removal team a call or send us a text.

What Is a CV Axle?

For most people, knowing what a CV axle doesn’t become even a point of interest until they have been left on the side of the road with a vehicle that won’t drive. Because you don’t even ask the question, “what is a CV?”, until your mechanic advises you that yours has failed (or is failing).

In today’s blog post, we’ll cover what a CV axle is on a car, what it does, what happens when it’s failing, and what to do about it. We’ll also give you specific signs and symptoms to watch out for, to prevent being stranded on the roadside.

More Cash For Scrap is a professional scrap car removal company that has been buying scrap cars since 2005. We share our gained knowledge about aging and scrap vehicle problems to help our customers better deal with their vehicle’s mechanical defects.

What Does a CV Axle Do on a Car?

A CV axle (short for constant velocity axle) is a crucial part of any vehicle’s drivetrain, especially in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles.

The CV axle transmits power from the transmission to the wheels, allowing the car to move. If your CV axle is failing, you’ll notice issues with clicking or clunking while driving, and especially while turning.

What makes it special is that it can flex and bend while still rotating, which is essential for turning and proper suspension movement. Which is exactly why you’ll notice new or unusual sounds when your CV axle is on its way out.

Signs Your CV Axle Needs to Be Replaced

Just like any mechanical failure on a vehicle, there will be signs and symptoms when your CV axle is on its way out.

Here are common signs that your CV axle may need to be replaced:

1. Clicking And/Or Popping Sounds While Turning

Older vehicles have a tendency to make unusual sounds when shifting gears, turning, or going over bumps and potholes.

However, if you notice a consistent popping or clicking sound when turning corners or going around bends, it might mean that your CV axle is on its way out.

Additionally, your CV axle may not have failed completely. It could simply be that it is damaged due to impact or wear and tear. In either case, it’s best to have it inspected by a professional mechanic to diagnose.

2. Leaking Grease from Your Axle

For many people, driving an older commuter car means rarely tending to routine maintenance, including washing your car regularly. So, when extra dirt or grease shows up around the wheels, you might not think much of it.

Great being present on the inside of your wheels, or specifically, coming out near the axle, can indicate that you’ve got a leak in your axle. This happens when your CV boots is damaged or torn.

If you don’t have your axle repaired promptly, the lack of grease causes the joint to wear out faster due to increase friction. And that can leave you immobile completely and without warning.

3. New or Worsening Vibration While Driving

Vibrations can occur when the CV axle is out of balance, is damaged, or simply is too worn out to operate properly.

And although aging vehicles, or vehicles with high mileage tend to have vibrations in general, noticeable or new vibrations occurring in the front end of your vehicle could signal CV axle failure.

At More Cash For Scrap, we pay MORE cash for scrap cars with failed CV axles, failing suspensions, and even vehicles that need a complete brake job. If your vehicle is having front-end issues, give us a call and see what your car might be worth. We always pay MORE!

4. Knocking When Accelerating

Generally, aging vehicles will experience knocking sounds for a variety of reasons. From failing engines to suspension issues involving shocks and struts, to seized brake calipers; you never know what you’re getting when a knocking sound suddenly starts happening out of nowhere.

However, if you’ve had other issues that indicate a failing CV axle and then start to experience knocking while speeding up or slowing down, it could mean that your CV axle is getting close to its expiration date.

If you think your CV axle is starting to go, have a professional mechanic, like our friends at North Shore Auto Repair take a look at it. Failing to have it checked out promptly can mean being stranded unexpectedly on the side of the road.

5. Especially Bouncy or Unstable Ride

Driving an older vehicle usually means expecting the ride to not be as comfy and cushy as it would if you were driving a newer vehicle.

And although we become accustomed to our aging vehicle’s bumps, jumps, and various quirks, an unstable or especially bumpy ride can mean your CV axle is having problems.

Also, if your CV axle hasn’t failed yet, the increased bumpiness can cause it to fail faster. This happens because components and structures get jostled around much more with increased instability and more impact from bumps on the road.

What Happens When Your CV Axle Fails?

When your CV axle finally fails completely, you’ll know it. Because without a functioning CV axle, your vehicle cannot move.

In fact, if you own a vehicle that has a tachometer, you’ll notice that when your CV axle finally goes caput, that the tach needle will be pinner at the top, even though you are losing speed.

Because without the CV axle properly functioning, your transmission and wheels cannot communicate. Your car might know that the vehicle is supposed to be moving, but your wheels definitely do not.

How Much Does It Cost to Replace a CV Axle in Canada?

The cost to replace a CV axle on a vehicle entirely depends on the extent of the damage caused (if any), and the type of vehicle that you drive. 4×4 vehicles and trucks tend to be on the more expensive side.

On average, the cost to replace a CV axle in British Columbia is between $350 – $900. With the cost of parts making up more than half of the overall cost.

Parts for a CV axle replacement alone cost around $400 – $650. The rest is usually the cost of labour, and varies depending on your shop’s labour rate.

What Do Tie Rods Do?

For those who aren’t familiar with the complex mechanics and inner workings of vehicles, mechanic lingo can be confusing to say the least.

Because when our mechanic shares with us any newfound issues, they typically refer to specific parts, and what the defect or malfunction is.

However, for those who don’t know what, say, a tie rod is, it can leave you in the lurch. So, what do tie rods do anyways? That’s what we’ll be covering in today’s blog post.

What Are Tie Rods for on a Car?

We’ll explain what role the tie rods play in keeping your vehicle on the road. We’ll also get into what to do if you need new tie rods on an aging vehicle.

More Cash For Scrap has been scrapping cars for MORE cash across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley since 2005.

Our blog posts offer solutions to common problems, insight into what to do about those problems and why they happen, and what to do if repairing them isn’t a practical resolution.

What Do Tie Rods Do On a Car?

Tie rods are critical components in a vehicle’s steering and suspension system, serving as the vital link between the steering rack and the steering knuckle on each front wheel. Their primary function is to transmit force from the steering center to the wheels, enabling the driver to control the direction of the vehicle.

When the steering wheel is turned, the motion is transferred through the steering column to the rack and pinion or steering gearbox, which then pushes or pulls the tie rods. These rods, in turn, pivot the wheels left or right, allowing for precise directional control.

Tie rods consist of two main parts: the inner tie rod, which connects to the steering rack, and the outer tie rod, which connects to the steering knuckle. The outer tie rod end typically includes a ball joint that allows for smooth movement and flexibility as the suspension travels over uneven terrain.

How to Know If Your Tie Rods Need Replacing

Much like any mechanical failure, when tie rods start to go, they leave key indicators. So, knowing the signs and symptoms that your tie rods are failing is imperative.

Most mechanics will check your tie rods during routine maintenance like wheel alignments, tire changes, or brake replacement or repair. However, if your vehicle doesn’t go to the shop as much as it should, it can be easy to overlook.

Signs of a Bad Tie Rod Include:

1. Uneven Tire Wear

Uneven tire wear can also signal other issues like bad struts or shocks, or an improperly performed wheel alignment.

So, if the only sign you notice is uneven tread on your tires, have a mechanic, like our friends at Midas on 104th Avenue, check your vehicle’s wheel alignment and suspension system.

Suspension issues are common on aging vehicles or vehicles with high mileage. And we buy MORE scrap cars with suspension issues than any other scrap car buyer in Surrey or Metro Vancouver.

2. Excessive Steering Wheel Movement

Some of you might remember what life was like prior to power steering. You’d turn the wheel multiple times, only to get a small lackluster radius turn out of it.

However, nowadays the wheel should only move as much as you intend it too. But if you find that your steering has a little (or a lot) of excess play when turning, it could be a sign that your tie rods are on their way out.

Moreover, if you experience wiggling, shaking, or any unusual vibration while driving or braking, have a professional assess your car. It could be tie rod related, or it could be signaling a larger problem involving your brake system.

3. Clunking Noises When Turning

Anyone who drives an older vehicle or one with high mileage knows that unusual sounds are just part of their charm… Until they’re not. Which is the case when your tie rods are failing.

If your tie rods are on their way out, you’ll typically notice clunking when turning in a specific direction.

It might also be worse when turn over a bump (like speed bumps in a parking lot), or when driving up hill and around a bend (like the many winding roads in Belcarra or North Vancouver).

4. Your Car Pulls to One Side

If you’re driving an older vehicle on a daily basis in Metro Vancouver, it surely takes a beating. Because between stop-and-go traffic, spontaneous roundabouts, and plenty of unexpected bouts of construction, our cars really do deal with a lot of physical wear.

And although getting a wheel alignment done from time to time is part of routine maintenance on any vehicle (especially after brake or suspension work), your wheels being out of alignment can indicate that your tie rods are failing.

Your vehicle pulling to one side or the other can also suggest that you have an issue with your tires, with your braking system, or even damage to one of your wheels.

So, if you’re experiencing any of the above issues along with steering that tugs to one side, you’ll want to get your vehicle inspected as soon as you can.

What Happens When Tie Rods Fail on a Car?

Proper alignment of tie rods is essential for maintaining accurate steering and even tire wear. If tie rods become worn or damaged, symptoms may include loose or unresponsive steering, uneven tire wear, or clunking noises when turning.

In severe cases, a failed tie rod can cause a complete loss of steering control, posing a serious safety risk. Regular inspection and timely replacement are crucial to ensure vehicle safety and performance.

Overall, tie rods play a massive role in keeping your vehicle stable, responsive, and safe on the road. Without them, steering would be impossible, and driving would be dangerously unpredictable.

How Much Does It Cost to Replace Tie Rods on a Car?

Tie rods are a critical repair, but they don’t come with a price tag that reflects that typically.

It really depends on the type of vehicle you drive, what other neighbouring components need replacing, and the wheel alignment that is required after servicing.

The average cost to replace tie rods on a car in Canada is between $200 – $500. However, it depends mostly on the make and model of vehicle that you drive. Newer vehicles, luxury vehicles, or trucks and 4×4’s can cost upwards of $750 – $900 for a complete replacement.

Additionally, inner tie rods tend to be more expensive than outer rods. And when the replacement is needed on a vehicle that is 15-20 years of age (or one with high mileage), it’s not always practical to do the repairs.

What Happens If You Put Too Much Oil in Your Car?

For most of us, vehicle maintenance consists of putting air in our tires, topping up the windshield washer fluid, and getting our vehicle in for regular (or semi-regular) oil changes. However, sometimes, especially on older vehicles, we need to top up our oil between changes. But what happens if you put too much oil in your car?

Today’s blog post is about what happens if you put too much oil in your car, and what to do about the potential ramifications of that. Whether you’re facing engine damage, performance issues, or vehicle overheating issues, we’ll advise you on what to look out for, and what to do about it.

We are an experienced scrap car removal company that has been buying scrap cars in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley since 2005. We have seen many vehicles suffer catastrophic damage from having too much oil put into the reservoir. This blog post is based off of our firsthand observations and experience.

What Happens When You Overfill the Oil on Your Car?

Virtually any vehicle owner knows that oil is crucial for a vehicle to run smoothly. Its primary function is to keep the moving components of your vehicle’s engine working effectively with little to no friction.

By changing your oil regularly, your vehicle performs better, pollutes less, and even gets better gas mileage. So, oil is a big deal, that’s undeniable. But what happens if you accidentally put in too much oil?

Generally, most oil changes are performed at your local mechanic’s or a specific oil change shop. However, if you’re topping up your oil due to a leak, your engine burning oil, or simply because you are preparing or a road trip, it can be easy to overfill it.

We will discuss what happens to your vehicle if you overfill your oil, what the signs and symptoms are of overfilled oil, and what to do about it in today’s blog post.

What Are the Symptoms That Your Car Has Too Much Oil in It?

Just like any mechanical defect, electrical problem, or general vehicle malfunction, having too much oil in your car will come with warning signs and obvious symptoms. However, if you don’t know that you’ve overfilled your oil, the signs may not be as obvious.

Below we have outlined what to look for if your vehicle has too much oil in it. If you’ve experiencing any of the signs and symptoms that are outlined below, take a few minutes to check your oil levels before hitting the road again.

Signs You Put Too Much Oil in Your Car

1. Oil Level Is Higher Than Max on Dipstick

It may seem obvious that if your oil is too full, that you’ll see it on your dipstick. However, if you don’t know how to properly check your oil, you may not even be able to see the fill line.

Additionally, sometimes the lines can be faded and worn on older vehicles, making it even more difficult to discern when to stop filling your oil. Be sure to check your oil in an area with good lighting to ensure you’re getting the most accurate reading possible.

2. Engine Oil Is Foamy

This can happen easily if you overfill your oil because when your oil is over full, it can get whipped by the crankshaft. This causes it to foam up because of the additives and lubrication properties of typical engine oil.

This is one of the most common signs that your engine oil is over full. Moreover, it typically indicates that it is excessively over full. Extremely excessive oil can cause serious engine damage.

So, if you see froth or foam in your oil, get your car inspected a.s.a.p. by a professional like our friends at The Great Canadian Oil Change in Coquitlam.

3. A Distinct Burning Smell Coming from Your Engine

Older vehicles have a tendency to have all sorts of weird and unusual odors to them. Sometimes it’s from mould or mildew caused by leaks. Other times, it’s coming from the engine or transmission. Which is the case when you put too much oil in your car.

When the oil reservoir gets overfilled, the excess oil can leak onto neighbouring parts. Those parts run hot when the engine is running, because, like the engine itself, they are comprised of many moving parts.

When the spilled oil heats up on these parts, it has a very noticeable odor. A bold burning smell that is unlike other burning smells that can come from driving an aging vehicle, or one that has high mileage.

4. Blue or White Smoke Coming from the Exhaust

Another clear indicator that you’ve overfilled the oil on your car is blue or white smoke coming from the exhaust pipes.

This can, however, also be an indicator of other issues involving your engine, so be sure to check your oil levels and consult a mechanic before making a definitive decision about whether or not the issue relates strictly to having too much oil.

We’ve seen many vehicles with high mileage or cars with age stacked against them that have various engine issues that were not relating to the oil being overfilled.

Regardless of what kind of engine issues you’re having, we’ll pay you MORE cash for cars with engine issues than any other scrap car removal company in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

5. Oil Pressure Warning Light Illuminated

One of the great things about ever-advancing automotive technology is that there’s almost a warning light for everything nowadays.

And although most mechanical or electrical issues are indicated through the check engine light, there is a separate warning light for issues relating specifically to oil pressure.

And this will become illuminated on your dash if your oil is over full or there are any other kinds of issues pertaining to your oil pressure.

6. New or Worsening Oil Leaks

Have you noticed that old oil stain in your garage getting bigger? Perhaps showing signs of new oil drippings?

Have people even commented on how something seems to be leaking from your vehicle wherever you go? If so, you could have an oil leak that is caused by putting too much oil in your vehicle.

When your oil receptacle gets overfilled, it can cause nearby gaskets and seals to fail due to the excessive strain on them.

What To Do If You Overfilled the Oil on Your Car

If you suspect that you’ve overfilled the oil on your car, there are a few critical decisions to make moving forward. Factoring in how full the oil is, what damage may or may not have occurred, and the age of your vehicle is important.

Step 1: Check Your Oil Levels

If you don’t know where your oil levels are at, it can be tough to establish if the symptoms your vehicle is showing are the cause of overfilled oil.

So, naturally, the first step is to check your oil levels on your car. Because you might think your oil is too full because of the signs you’ve noticed. However, there could be other mechanical issues going on that are not related to too much oil being in your car.

For the more novice vehicle owners, we’ve included a detailed outline of how to properly check your oil on your car a little further down this blog post 😉

At More Cash For Scrap, we have purchased many vehicles with dead engines, fire damage, recurrent oil leaks, and even exhaust system issues. So, if your vehicle is suffering from any of these things, whether caused by too much oil or not, give our scrap car removal team a call.

Step 2: Drain Any Excess Oil

For those that are mechanically savvy, you can watch a quick YouTube tutorial on how to drain excess oil out of a car. Be sure to have plenty of rags handy, an oil receptacle for the excess oil you drain out, and an oil pan to catch the falling oil.

For those that are not so mechanically inclined when it comes to vehicles, consult a mechanic promptly.

We’ve seen many DIY-ers destroy their aging vehicles by trying to perform even the simplest home repairs themselves. Do NOT attempt if you’re not familiar with vehicle mechanics!

Step 3: Consult a Professional Mechanic

Even if you were able to check and drain the excess oil out of your car yourself, it’s imperative that you have a professional assess your vehicle for any long-term damage. Only a licensed and professional mechanic can tell you the true gravity of any damage that your vehicle has incurred due to having too much oil in it.

How Do I Check the Oil on My Car?

The best way to ensure that you are checking your vehicle’s oil levels properly is to ensure that your vehicle is turned off and has been turned off for at least 5-10 minutes. Because as a vehicle runs, the engine heats up. This residual heat causes the oil to expand and can impact the reading on your dipstick.

After ensuring your vehicle’s engine has cooled, remove the dipstick from the reservoir. Then, immediately wipe the dipstick dry with a piece of paper towel or a clean shop rag.

After doing so, dip the dipstick back into the reservoir all the way to the bottom (you should feel resistance when you’ve reached the end).

Then, pull it back out and see if the oil line aligns within the minimum and maximum line. If it does, you’re in the clear. If it’s too high or too low, address accordingly.

What Can Get Damaged from Putting Too Much Oil in a Car?

Vehicles are complex pieces of machinery. And despite how durable they may first appear; there are actually many delicate and easily worn components that can be affected badly by putting too much oil in your car.

Damage From Putting Too Much Oil in Your Car Includes:

• Complete engine failure
• Engine misfires
• Malfunctioning and failed spark plugs (which causes the misfires)
• Worn or damaged seals and gaskets causing leaks
• Exhaust system issues
• Increased emissions
• Engine vibration
• Engine overheating
• Engine fires from overflowing or spilled oil

In older vehicles especially, it’s not uncommon to scrap a vehicle due to engine damage or catastrophic failure. Which is why at More Cash For Scrap, we pay MORE cash for scrap cars with engine damage than any other scrap car removal company in the Lower Mainland.

The Top 6 Most Expensive Car Repairs

Nobody likes getting a big bill from their mechanic. And it hits even harder when the vehicle that’s getting repaired is aging, has high mileage, or is still in need of several other smaller repairs.

And knowing when to cut your losses and when not to is important as well. Which is why today’s blog post is about the top 6 most expensive car repairs in British Columbia.

Cash for Scrap Cars Near Me

As a professional scrap car removal company that has been buying scrap cars in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley since 2005, we felt it was important to share our knowledge about what repairs cost the most on a car, and whether or not they are worth doing.

Every vehicle is different, and when major repairs are needed, it can be tough to discern whether or not they should even be done. But we’ll cover the dos and don’ts of major car repairs in today’s blog, and hopefully, leave you a bit more mechanically savvy as a result.

Most Expensive Repairs on a Car

It’s never fun getting a mechanic’s bill. And it’s even less fun when that bill is far greater than expected.

It’s even worse when the bill costs more than what your vehicle is worth. However, this is something that happens frequently throughout Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

Daily drivers take a lot of punishment in the Lower Mainland. Between stop-and-go traffic, unpredictable weather, and excessive smog and pollution, a vehicle’s system can really take a beating. And that beating leads to big repairs.

How to Know If I Should Fix My Car?

Knowing which ones are worth doing on an aging vehicle, and which ones aren’t, is key to preventing yourself from investing in something that isn’t worth the investment.

Which is why we have composed today’s blog post about what the most expensive repairs are on a car, and what to do about them.

The Most Expensive Repairs on a Vehicle

We’ve listed the top 6 most expensive repairs on a car in British Columbia in order of most expensive to least expensive. We’ve also included valuable information about diagnosing any of these potential issues, what signs and symptoms to watch out for, and how you can sell your car for MORE cash if the cost outweighs the benefit.

Most Expensive Car Repairs Are:

1. Replacing Engine Cylinders ($6,900-$11,000)

It’s a common misconception that replacing an engine on your vehicle is the most expensive repair on a car. When the reality is that replacing your vehicle’s engine is sometimes the solution for a much bigger problem. A problem like malfunctioning or failing engine cylinders.

The cost to replace engine cylinders is so high because in order to swap the cylinders out, the mechanic needs to remove your engine entirely from the vehicle to get to them. So, depending on what type of vehicle you drive, and what kind of engine it has, you may be better off to simply get your engine replaced.

Regardless, if your mechanic has hit you with the bad news of damaged engine cylinders and you’re considering scrapping your vehicle instead, contact More Cash For Scrap. We offer MORE cash for cars with engine damage, or those in need of an engine replacement.

2. Hybrid Battery Replacement ($6,000+)

Clean energy vehicles are quickly becoming the wave of the future. And it’s not entirely because of how much better they are for the environment. But it’s because of rising fuel costs that are driving people away from the pumps, and towards a charger.

And although hybrids are a great investment, particularly for anyone who spends a lot of time on the road, some of their repairs can be quite costly. Repairs like replacing their most important component; their battery.

Expensive Car Repairs Not Worth Doing

The average cost to replace a hybrid battery in British Columbia is about $6,000-$8,000. However, depending on what type of electric vehicle you’re driving, the cost can be upwards of $15,000-$18,000. Which is why many people end up scrapping their aging hybrids that need a battery replacement instead.

At More Cash For Scrap, we pay the most cash for scrap cars, especially hybrid vehicles with dead batteries. Because unlike other scrap car buyers, we consider MORE than just what your vehicle’s metal weight is. So, when you need a $6,000 repair and want to scrap your car, scrap it with More Cash For Scrap.

3. Engine Replacement ($4,000-$8,000)

• Poor performance
• Worsening gas mileage
• Unusual engine sounds like knocking, ticking, whining, or humming
• Difficulty starting your vehicle
• Engine overheating
• New or worsening engine vibration
• Check engine light illuminated

Larger vehicles that have more torque and more powerful engines, will usually be more expensive than others to replace the engine. That’s because the bigger the motor, the more work involved. And when there are other components that have been damaged or are worn that need replacing, the cost and labour to repair or replace those adds to the bill.

Many newer vehicles come with an optional warranty that will cover things like engine replacement. If you’re considering buying a new vehicle, or even a used one that comes with an optional warranty, be sure to see if engine replacement is covered within it.

4. Transmission Replacement ($2,800-$4,500)

A transmission is one repair that is needed on virtually every vehicle at one point or another. And in this day and age, it can happen more now than it ever did.

This is mainly because certain transmissions are more prone to malfunction and failure than others. One being the CVT transmission, which is widely used on many late model vehicles.

The CVT transmission was created to offer drivers a smoother shifting experience on automatic vehicles. However, although they do provide a smoother ride, they do so at a very high price.

Cash for Cars with Bad Transmissions

The price of reliability. Because many vehicle owners who have a CVT transmission reported transmission failure at less than 200,000 kms.

At More Cash For Scrap though, we LOVE buying late model sedans and SUVs with failed transmissions. Even ones that are equipped with a bad CVT transmission.

Just call our scrap car removal team today and we’ll make you an instant cash offer on your vehicle. We love buying cars, trucks, sedans, and vans with bad transmissions!

5. Head Gasket Replacement ($1,300-$2,500+)

Much like the engine cylinders, the head gasket is a vital component to proper engine operation on any vehicle. When a head gasket malfunctions, many other things become affected and can fail as well. Which is why the cost to replace a head gasket is so high.

Replacing a head gasket usually means replacing a lot more than simply the head gasket. Typically, when a head gasket fails, other issues arise. And those issues all take time, parts, and money to repair or replace as well. Knowing what to watch our for is critical in deciding whether or not to even do the repairs.

Signs Your Head Gasket Is Failing or Has Failed Include:

• Antifreeze/coolant mixing with engine oil
• White smoke coming from tailpipes
• Loss of power
• External leaks
• Going through coolant faster (due to leaks)
• Engine misfiring
• Bubbles on your radiator
• Overheating engine
• Overheating cooling system

There are so many indicators that your head gasket is failing. However, only a true professional like our friends at Jesperson’s Auto Repair can properly diagnose a failed head gasket.

Moreover, they would be the best people to establish whether or not your engine has suffered significant damaged due to the failing head gasket. Give them a call and see if your vehicle can be salvaged, or if it should be scrapped with More Cash For Scrap.

6. Suspension Repair or Replacement ($2,500 – $5,000+)

For our customers in the Fraser Valley, we are sure you know all too well what the cost of lifting a vehicle is. Furthermore, you’re probably well-versed on what’s involved with completely redoing your suspension. Because Fraser Valley residents love their 4×4 vehicles, and they love to punish them in the great outdoors.

However, when your 4×4 is aging and sustains significant damage while being put to the test, scrap car removal may be in your near future. Because replacing your suspension could cost you thousands of dollars, depending on what needs replacing, and what type of vehicle you drive.

Where to Sell a Car with Suspension Issues

Not only are you paying for parts when you suspension fails, but you are also paying major labour costs. Additionally, after the suspension has been replaced, you also need a wheel alignment to ensure everything is exactly where it should be.

Between all the little extras, the cost of parts, and the labour involved, you’re easily looking at a minimum of $1,500 for the average car. And at least double for off-road vehicles and lifted aging pick-up trucks.

MORE Cash for Cars with Major Mechanical Issues

Something that really sets us apart from other scrap car removal companies in the Lower Mainland is the fact that we pay MORE cash for scrap cars in any condition.

Because you might think that a scrap car buyer will buy any vehicle, no matter what the issue. And while this is generally true, it doesn’t mean they pay you a fair price.

Some scrap car buyers will buy cars with dead engines, blown head gaskets, failed suspensions or transmissions, or even snapped timing chains. But what they offer you is next to nothing for a vehicle that only has one major issue.

Scrap Car Buyers in Metro Vancouver

Which means you forfeit all of the value that is left in the rest of your vehicle just to scrap your car.

However, if you choose our scrap car removal services, you’ll get a customized offer based solely on your specific vehicle, and ALL that it has to offer.

Because if your Mercedes needs a new engine, but is immaculate otherwise, should you really give it away for a mere $150? We think not.

How Much Cash for Scrap Cars Do We Pay?

As we just mentioned, our instant cash offers are based off of your vehicle, and all that it brings to the table. Which is why it is important for our scrap car removal team to get all of the details of what you’re scrapping and why, before making you an offer on it.

Call our scrap car removal team and provide us with the make, model, year, condition, mileage, and location of your vehicle. Then, let us know of any major mechanical issues or any that it previous had that you’ve already repaired. Recent repairs could potentially increase your vehicle’s value.

Moreover, advise our scrap car removal team of whether or not your vehicle is still running. Because at More Cash For Scrap, running vehicles are definitely worth MORE than ones that are not!

After we have all of this information, we’ll make you an instant cash offer right over the phone. If you accept the offer, we’ll send over our free towing service to collect your car. Our driver will then load your vehicle up on our truck, and pay you cash in hand before leaving.

When Mazda Repairs Cost More Than They’re Worth

As a professional scrap car removal company that’s been buying scrap cars in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley since 2005, we’ve seen a lot of vehicles. We know that one of the reasons people scrap Mazda vehicles is because fixing them simply just doesn’t make sense.

Because when the cost of repairs outweighs the remaining value of your vehicle, it may be time to consider scrap car removal. It’s important to really know how much all those repairs are costing you over time to make a good choice about your vehicle.

For Mazda vehicles, some big fixes can cost a lot. Things like replacing the transmission (between $1,800 to $3,400), rebuilding the engine (reaching $2,500 to $5,000), or fixing mystery electrical problems (up to $1,000) can really add up. Having one of these major mechanical defects could ultimately lead to the need for reliable scrap car removal.

Also, if your Mazda has had a lot of repairs, it won’t be worth as much if you try to sell it later. People don’t want to buy cars with a history of problems, and even less so when that vehicle is aging or has high mileage.

Mazda cars are often liked for their fun driving ability and good looks. You might know them best for their special rotary engines and their Skyactiv®-G engines which help save gas by boosting fuel efficiency and economy. But like anything else in today’s world, even Mazda’s don’t last forever.

Knowing when it’s time to say goodbye to your Mazda can be hard, especially if you have good memories with it. But ignoring signs that it’s getting too old and worn out can cause more problems.

Moreover, more problems equal more money out of pocket. Which is why knowing what signs suggest scrap car removal is so important.

Signs Your Mazda Needs Scrap Car Removal

1. Transmission Failure

Fixing or replacing your aging Mazda’s transmission costs more than what the whole car is even worth these days in a lot of cases. And that’s why many people choose the scrap car removal services of More Cash For Scrap instead of paying for a large repair like that.

You might notice it’s hard to change gears, the gears feel like they’re slipping while you’re driving, it makes weird clunking or whining noises when you shift. Or maybe it just won’t go into certain gears at all. Sometimes, it just stops working completely. That’s when you know that transmission failure is a harsh reality.

2. Extensive Rust, Mould, or Corrosion

If your Mazda has really bad rust that’s eating away at important parts, like the frame or the bottom of the car, it’s not safe anymore and usually not worth fixing.

You might see actual holes or really flaky rust in those areas. The car might even feel shaky when you drive, or you might hear weird noises. If it fails a safety check because of rust, that’s a major sign.

3. Various Electrical System Failures or Malfunctions

When your Mazda has lots of electrical problems that keep coming back and are hard to figure out, it can get really expensive. Because your mechanic will spend the majority of his time trying to find the source of the problem.

And even when he does, there could be more than one problem going on electrically. And all of his detective work is at a labour rate of approximately $75-$90 an hour in British Columbia.

Signs Your Mazda Has Electrical Problems:

• Battery keeps dying
• Lights flickering or not working
• Difficulty starting your Mazda
• Issues with power window or door locks
• Sporadic or frequent stalling
• Malfunctioning heating or cooling issues

Knowing exactly what type of electrical problem you’re facing is a job for a professional mechanic like our friends at Dolphin Automotive in Abbotsford. They can get to the bottom of whatever issue you’re having with your Mazda vehicle.

4. Old Age or High Mileage

While it’s not the only thing that matters, how old your Mazda is and how many kilometres it’s been driven are big clues. If it’s got over 321,000 kilometers or is older than 15 years (or both!), it’s statistically destined to have mechanical breakdown.

In addition to mechanical problems that come with high mileage, so does the potential for a huge loss in resale value. Which means that if you’re considering selling your used Mazda vehicle but can’t get a decent price for it because of its age or mileage, sell it to More Cash For Scrap.

We pay MORE cash for scrap cars than any other scrap car removal company in Metro Vancouver or the Fraser Valley. Plus, we provide free towing and even offer free roadside vehicle removal after an accident or breakdown.

6. Frequent Mechanical Breakdowns

If your Mazda is constantly having mechanical problems, even after you’ve already fixed it, it’s probably getting to the end of its life. This could be the “check engine” light always being on, the transmission keeps slipping, the engine is making weird noises or overheating, or the brakes or suspension are always acting up.

When your Mazda starts feeling like it’s just not reliable anymore, and is costing more to run than what you’d pay in new car payments, consider our scrap car removal services instead. We pay MORE cash for scrap cars than the other guys!

7. Repair Costs Way Higher than Vehicle Value

This is the big one. If the shop tells you it’s going to cost more to fix your Mazda than what you could even sell it for, it’s definitely time to think about scrapping it.

You can check online to see what your car might be worth. However, if the repairs are half or more of its value, scrapping your car for MORE cash might be the smarter move.

Basically, if you’re dealing with these kinds of headaches, it’s worth talking to a scrap car buyer. At More Cash for Scrap, we can help you figure out if your Mazda is better off in the scrap yard or on Facebook marketplace.
