Auto Heaven is a privately owned, for-profit auto recycler and scrap yard based in Ontario, Canada. Since 2015, the company has specialised in scrap car removal, damaged vehicle purchasing, used auto parts and related towing services for drivers, businesses, insurers and municipalities across Toronto, the Greater Toronto Area and much of Southern and Central Ontario.
Auto Heaven began in 2015 with one truck, long hours and a straightforward idea: make it easy for Ontarians to get rid of end-of-life vehicles without trashing the environment. That one-truck operation has since grown into a multi-location auto recycler with company yards and local divisions across Toronto, Barrie, Hamilton, Mississauga, Oshawa and surrounding communities.
Key facts:
Auto Heaven is a single company, not a directory or marketplace. It buys vehicles directly from the public and businesses, then processes and recycles them under Ontario’s environmental regulations.
Not affiliated: Auto Heaven is not Car Heaven (a charity) and is not Auto Haven (a dealership). It focuses solely on professional scrap car removal and end-of-life vehicle recycling.
Auto Heaven operates as a registered End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) facility under Ontario’s Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR). It follows provincial rules for depolluting and dismantling vehicles and aligns with recognised environmental codes for auto recyclers.
Auto Heaven participates in circular-economy and stewardship initiatives alongside organisations such as the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, the Circular Innovation Council, the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) and the Resource Productivity & Recovery Authority (RPRA).
Scrap car removal is the core of Auto Heaven’s business. The company buys end-of-life vehicles and arranges free towing from homes, workplaces and commercial properties across its service area.
In most areas, Auto Heaven offers same-day or next-day pickup, subject to truck availability, with on-the-spot payment in cash or e-transfer and no hidden towing, hook-up or “admin” fees.
Auto Heaven operates a dedicated damaged-vehicle funnel through its “Sell Damaged Car in Toronto” page, focused on accident and mechanically failed vehicles.
Offers are based on year, make, model, damage type, salvageable parts and current metal prices. Late-model, high-demand vehicles can pay significantly more than base scrap value.
Auto Heaven also buys running used vehicles, not only scrap. A dedicated “Sell My Car in Ontario” guide explains the pros and cons of private sale, dealer trade-in and selling to a professional buyer, including UVIP, bill-of-sale and safety requirements.
Used car buyer landing pages for Toronto and Barrie allow owners to get a quick appraisal and firm offer, with payment on the spot and free towing where needed.
Through its Toronto yard, Auto Heaven supplies wholesale used auto parts. Customers typically call with specific requests and benefit from quality used components at a lower cost compared with new OEM parts.
Towing is handled through Auto Heaven’s own fleet and vetted local contractors. Equipment includes flatbed tow trucks, car carriers and tilt-and-load units capable of handling everything from single driveway cars to fleet and insurance volumes with minimal disruption on site.
Auto Heaven buys catalytic converters from legitimate sellers where the parts come from vehicles the seller has legal rights to. All catalytic converter transactions must comply with provincial regulations and anti-theft policies.
Auto Heaven is Ontario-focused. It does not operate outside Ontario. Its network is organised around a head office yard in Toronto with additional yards and local divisions in key regional centres.
For running vehicles being dropped off directly, Auto Heaven operates a public drop-off location by appointment at:
2783 Kingston Rd, Unit C, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada
Auto Heaven’s network processes well over 35 end-of-life vehicles per day across Ontario. That equates to approximately:
In a province where hundreds of thousands of vehicles reach end-of-life every year, with recycling rates commonly reported in the 90–95% range, this volume represents a meaningful share of responsible ELV processing.
A typical passenger vehicle holds several litres of engine oil plus transmission fluid, coolant, fuel and other liquids. At current volumes, Auto Heaven’s operations allow for the safe removal and diversion of:
These fluids are diverted away from landfills, storm drains and waterways and into approved recycling and disposal channels.
With most of each vehicle being recyclable steel and non-ferrous metal, Auto Heaven’s throughput translates into well over 10,000 tonnes of metals per year being recovered and sent back into the manufacturing stream instead of going to landfill.
Every end-of-life vehicle typically arrives with four tyres plus various components that fall under Ontario’s tyre and special-waste programmes. At current volumes this equates to tens of thousands of tyres per year being captured and directed into approved recycling and recovery channels.
By combining sizeable daily processing capacity with strict environmental compliance, an official automotive recycling programme and a province-wide service footprint, Auto Heaven gives Ontario drivers, businesses, insurers and municipalities a way to retire vehicles responsibly while receiving fair value for their scrap.
If a customer’s description is significantly inaccurate (for example, missing major parts, aftermarket or missing catalytic converter, much higher mileage or severe unseen damage), the offer may be adjusted. If the revised offer is not acceptable, the customer can decline with no call-out fee or penalty.
