<p>It <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Vancouver">Metro Vancouver</a> and the Fraser Valley, it’s a daily occurrence as there are so many commercial vehicles on our roads. This is to not only protect the public, but to protect the driver of the commercial vehicle as well.</p>
<p>The purpose of the CVSE is to ensure that commercial vehicles are being properly maintained and driven in a safe manner, to protect both the driver and every other driver on the road with them.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-3"><h2>What is a Box 2 Inspection?</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-2867 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/newere-commercial-semi-no-trailer.jpg" alt="Scrap car removal in Vancouver, BC" width="703" height="527" srcset="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/newere-commercial-semi-no-trailer-200x150.jpg 200w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/newere-commercial-semi-no-trailer-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/newere-commercial-semi-no-trailer-400x300.jpg 400w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/newere-commercial-semi-no-trailer-600x450.jpg 600w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/newere-commercial-semi-no-trailer.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 703px) 100vw, 703px" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-4"><p>In recent years, there have been many reported accidents and fatalities relating directly to commercial vehicles, and ones that were not in compliance with BC’s safety standards. The CVSE makes every effort to reduce these instances by issuing a Box 2 Notice and Order for commercial vehicle inspection.</p>
<p>When a commercial driver is issued a Box 2 Notice, they are required to bring the commercial vehicle that is being cited to a designated inspection facility for a thorough inspection. Any deficiencies found on a roadside inspection will usually lead to being given a Box 2 Notice.</p>
<p>As a professional scrap car removal company in both Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, we purchase so much MORE than simply scrap cars. We also buy our fair share of commercial vehicles that have failed their inspections and will not be repaired by the owner due to the overall cost.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-5"><h2>Why Does CSVE Pull Trucks Over in BC?</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2871 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/CVSE-e1724539211904.jpg" alt="Commercial Vehicle Inspection" width="900" height="675" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-6"><p>We’ve all seen them; CSVE vehicles parked on the side of Highway 1 in rush hour, while the occupant is climbing up onto a semi-truck or dump truck that is parked in front of it.</p>
<p>Many of us grimace at the sight as we drive by because it often causes a visual distraction, which slows down our commute home, but they are also sometimes pulled over in a rather inconvenient spot for the assessment. However, the purpose behind the random roadside inspection is in everyone’s best interest.</p>
<p>Many big commercial trucks have caused major accidents and many truck drivers have died as a result of not following best safety practices.</p>
<h3>These include:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Driving with unsecured loads</li>
<li>Driving with an improperly attached transfer trailer</li>
<li>Dump trucks driving with a raised trailer</li>
<li>Poor equipment integrity</li>
</ul>
<h3>Other reasons a commercial vehicle might get pulled over in BC are:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Driving unsafely</li>
<li>Taillights not working</li>
<li>Suspicious looking equipment (either how it is secured or not secured)</li>
<li>Using airbrakes where it is prohibited</li>
<li>Randomly selected by CSVE officer</li>
</ul>
<p>Any on-duty CSVE officer is permitted to pull over a commercial vehicle for absolutely no reason at all. It is considered to be part of a random inspection, and the driver of the vehicle is required by law to comply. Failure to do so can result in fines and the removal of their commercial license.</p>
<p>Also, any deficiencies found during the roadside inspection is cited to not only the vehicle, but to the driver of the vehicle, as CVSE considers it the driver’s responsibility to maintain their commercial vehicle’s maintenance.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-7"><h2>How Long Do I Have to Complete a Box 2 Notice Inspection?</h2>
<p>Once you’ve been cited with a Box 2 Notice and Order, you are required to have your vehicle sent to a designated vehicle inspection facility. This must be completed within 30 days of receiving the notice. Otherwise,</p>
<p>An Authorized Inspector at a Designated Inspection Facility will conduct the vehicle inspection and complete an inspection report. A passed inspection report must be provided to the Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement Branch within 30 days.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-8"><h2>What If I Miss the Deadline?</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2864 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/scrap-transport-van.jpg" alt="Cash for scrap cars & scrap commercial vehicles in BC" width="640" height="480" srcset="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/scrap-transport-van-200x150.jpg 200w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/scrap-transport-van-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/scrap-transport-van-400x300.jpg 400w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/scrap-transport-van-600x450.jpg 600w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/scrap-transport-van.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-9"><p>If you don’t complete and pass the required vehicle inspection within the 30-day period, the commercial vehicle will be flagged by ICBC and authorities.</p>
<p>If, for any reason, the same commercial is found being driven, the license plates, as well as the vehicle itself can and typically will be seized. Furthermore, it is also illegal to operate a vehicle where a Box 2 Notice and Order has not been complied with.</p>
<p>This is one of the reasons we see scrap commercial vehicles come through our doors (so-to-speak). When an older commercial vehicle fails inspection, many times the cost to do the repairs isn’t a sensible investment for owners. It’s in these cases where they scrap their vehicle with More Cash For Scrap!</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-10"><h2>Where Can I Find a Designated Vehicle Inspection Facility?</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2872 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/vehicle-inspection-facility-e1724540107624.png" alt="Commercial Vehicle Inspection for Box 2 Notice and Order" width="900" height="675" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-11"><p>For commercial vehicle inspections specifically, the one most commonly used in the Lower Mainland is the Pacific CVSE Inspection Station located on 176th Street near the Pacific Border Crossing in Surrey.</p>
<p>However, if you are looking for a general vehicle inspection for an out-of-province or out-of-country vehicle, you can go to many local car mechanics who are accredited with ICBC and the CVSE for a formal vehicle inspection.</p>
<h3>Some of those shops are:</h3>
<ul>
<li>BCAA</li>
<li>Minit Tune</li>
<li>Canadian Tire</li>
<li>Smart Vehicle Inspections</li>
<li>Surrey Inspection and Repair Centre</li>
<li>Abbotsford Tune-Up</li>
<li>Langley Central Auto Service</li>
<li>Precision Auto Service</li>
</ul>
<p>As mentioned above, not only commercial vehicles are the ones that require an inspection. However, they are the only ones who have this enforced by the CVSE.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-12"><h2>We Buy Commercial Vehicles that Have Failed Inspection</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2865 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/rusty-semi-truck-e1724540522625.jpg" alt="Scrap car removal in Metro Vancouver & the Fraser Valley" width="900" height="675" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-13"><p>Just as our name suggests, we pay MORE cash for scrap cars in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. However, scrap cars aren’t all that we buy. We also purchase many different types of commercial vehicles that have failed inspection and are in need of some very expensive repairs.</p>
<p>From 1-ton trucks, to semis, to simple work vans and cargo vans, we pay MORE cash for scrap cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and even buses. This is why so many Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley residents choose our scrap car removal services over any other.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-14"><h2>Cash for Cars with Mechanical Issues</h2>
<p>Although we do buy many scrap commercial vehicles for MORE cash in the Lower Mainland, our primary focus is on non-commercial vehicles that are scrap, or close to it.</p>
<p>That means that if you have a daily driver that is racking up the kilometres, along with an extensive list of much needed repairs, you can sell it to us instead and we’ll pay you the most cash for it.</p>
<p>Or, if you have an older vehicle that has been sitting in your driveway for a number of years, we’ll pay you MORE cash for it than anyone else in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Simply call, text, or email our scrap car removal team today.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-15"><h2>Cash for Out-of-Province Cars that Have Failed Inspection</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-2599 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/scrap-car-on-trailer.jpg" alt="West Vancouver Car Recyclers" width="738" height="517" srcset="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/scrap-car-on-trailer-200x140.jpg 200w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/scrap-car-on-trailer-300x210.jpg 300w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/scrap-car-on-trailer-400x280.jpg 400w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/scrap-car-on-trailer-600x420.jpg 600w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/scrap-car-on-trailer.jpg 614w" sizes="(max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-16"><p>Some people bring in vehicles from other provinces or territories when they move to BC. Although the vehicle is fully insured in the province it originates from, they cannot insure it here without having it first pass a vehicle inspection.</p>
<p>Much like the intentions of the CVSE and commercial vehicles, this is done in an effort to increase and maintain road safety for all of the drivers on it. Having an out-of-province vehicle pass an inspection ensures that the vehicle meets at least the bare minimum safety standards, but it also makes sure that vehicles are reasonable when it comes to their emissions.</p>
<p>British Columbia is a very “green” province in every sense of the word. This is why part of the initiative to keep it that way is inspecting and regulating vehicles that come into the province from other provinces, territories, or countries.</p>
<p>We see so many out-of-province vehicles fail inspection, and generally, the reasons aren’t that severe. However, the cost to repair and rectify the deficiencies is usually too much for the vehicle owner to justify, so they scrap their car with More Cash For Scrap.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-17"><h2>How Much Cash Can I Get for My Scrap Vehicle?</h2>
<p>When it comes to paying cash for scrap cars in Metro Vancouver, every vehicle has a different and unique value. This is due in part to the fact that we buy MORE than just scrap “cars”, but it is also because we base our offers on MORE than simply its overall metal weight.</p>
<p>We also consider things like its general resale value, the condition it is in, and any rare or after-market components that your vehicle has on it that could increase its value. With scrap commercial vehicles, they typically procure a higher value than many other vehicles.</p>
<p>Provide our team with the make, model, year, condition, and location of your vehicle. Also, let us know about any little details that could be pertinent to paying you the true value of your car. Our scrap car buyers will make you an instant cash offer on your car right over the phone.</p>
<p>If you accept our offer, we’ll arrange a day and time for our scrap car removal specialists to come pick up your car, and they will pay you cash in hand before leaving with your vehicle. It’s that simple!</p>

And although Chevy did issue a recall on the 2005, 2006, 2010-2013, and 2023 models. Additionally, there were many more that were affected and not included in the recall.</p>
<p>The years most likely to have engine problems 2005 – 2008, the 2023 models, and any second-generation models (2010 – 2017) that have a 2.4 L Ecotec engine. The issue was so predominant that there was actually a class action lawsuit involving consumers and Chevrolet/GMC because of the various engine issues.</p>
<p>Consumers frequently reported timing chain failure, leaking or burning oil, intermittent stalling, electrical failures resulting in stalling or an inability to start the vehicle, just to name a few. This is why we see more Equinox owners using our scrap car removal services in the Lower Mainland.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-47"><h2>GMC Terrain Bad Engines – What Years Were Affected?</h2>

Knowing which years to avoid when considering buying a new or even used GMC Terrain will not only save you a headache, but it will also potentially save you thousands of dollars.</p>
<p>The GMC Terrain years that you should try to avoid due to engine issues and failures are the 2010-2014 models, as well as the 2018 models. Additionally, anything with the Ecotec 2.4L engine has also had numerous reports of a wide variety of issues.</p>
<p>If you currently own one of the affected models, give us a call if you’d like to sell it. Whether your vehicle already has a dead engine and is parked, or if your vehicle is just starting to have engine problems, we can help. We are happy to buy vehicles with ANY kind of mechanical failure, including any model of the GMC Terrain.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-49"><h2>How Do I Know If I Need a New Engine on My Car?</h2>
<p>Just like with any sort of mechanical malfunction or failure on a vehicle, there will be signs when your car’s engine is on its way out. Knowing which signs to look out for (or listen for) is the key to getting on top of however you decide to deal with it. Whether that means replacing your engine or scrapping your car with a scrap car removal company like More Cash For Scrap.</p>
<h3>Your engine might need replacing if it has the following signs or symptoms:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Check engine light is on</li>
<li>Rougher than usual while idling or accelerating</li>
<li>Unusual smoke coming from the tail pipe</li>
<li>Decreased fuel economy</li>
<li>Engine knocking</li>
<li>Burning or leaking excessive amounts of oil</li>
<li>Stuttering or stalling while idling</li>
<li>Worsening performance</li>
</ul>
<p>If you think that your engine might need replacing, have a professional mechanic like the ones at Apel Auto in Port Coquitlam take a look at it. They can tell you whether you need a new engine, some minor repairs, or if there is something else going on that is affecting your vehicle’s performance.</p>

Your timing belt has failed. Not only is this frustrating, but it’s also terrifying because now you’re sitting on a roadway with vehicles whipping by you at 100km/hr +, and you are unable to move.</p>

<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-1579 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/checking-your-oil-e1688235457337.jpg" alt="fluid-check" width="900" height="601" srcset="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/checking-your-oil-e1688235457337-200x134.jpg 200w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/checking-your-oil-e1688235457337-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/checking-your-oil-e1688235457337-400x267.jpg 400w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/checking-your-oil-e1688235457337-600x401.jpg 600w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/checking-your-oil-e1688235457337-768x513.jpg 768w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/checking-your-oil-e1688235457337-800x534.jpg 800w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/checking-your-oil-e1688235457337.jpg 900w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-55"><p>This may seem like nothing more than an inconvenience. However, excessive oil consumption can be caused by leaks or your vehicle’s engine burning oil. This, in turn, can lead to engine failure. When your engine doesn’t have enough oil to properly lubricate moving components, it can seize up. A vehicle engine seizing is a catastrophic failure. One that takes thousands of dollars to repair.</p>
<p>Moreover, if your engine is in fact burning or leaking oil, it usually signals engine problems that are already present. Whether it’s leaky seals, bad gaskets or pistons, or simply an aging engine that’s indicating that it needs replacement.</p>
<p>We see more vehicles get scrapped because of engine problems, and the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain are two of them. The following list is in no particular order but happens to be the most common problems with the GMC Terrain and the Chevrolet Equinox.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-56"><h3>2. Failed or Malfunctioning Fuel Pump</h3>
<p>A failing fuel pump is not only annoying, but also frustrating. It can leave you stranded on the side of the road suddenly, and without warning. Usually, when your fuel pump goes, it just goes. You’ll attempt to start your vehicle, but it won’t start. In other cases, your vehicle will suddenly stall and then not restart again.</p>
<p>A fuel pump replacement used to be a relatively inexpensive thing to replace. However, with current inflation, increased labour costs, and the downtime involved with not having a vehicle while yours is getting repaired, it can be quite costly. If you notice suddenly worsening gas mileage, along with difficult starts or intermittent stalling, your fuel pump may be failing.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-57"><h3>3. Transmission Issues</h3>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2834 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/silver-equinox-chevy-scrap-engine-problems-e1723685373740.avif" alt="Sell my car Vancouver" width="900" height="471" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-58"><p>Nothing says scrap your car like a vehicle with major transmission issues. And let’s face it, even if the transmission issues are minor, they are usually an indication that your vehicle’s age is starting to show throughout its components, including the transmission.</p>
<p>Vehicles that are 10 years old or more (and sometimes not even that old) usually need a transmission replacement. However, depending on what type of driving you do and how well you maintain your car, you may not need one until much later.</p>
<h3>4. Engine Problems</h3>
<p>As mentioned before, one of the most common problems amongst both of these vehicles is engine failure. With a replacement price tag of roughly $5,000, most people end up scrapping their Equinox or Terrain with the scrap car removal services of More Cash For Scrap instead of doing the repairs.</p>
<p>The engine issues start out small, but quickly escalate to complete engine breakdown. At first consumers noticed leaking oil, burning oil, rough shifting, and stalling. Then suddenly, their vehicle’s dashboard would have the Check Engine Light illuminated and their vehicle would not start.</p>
<p>If you’re noticing the tell-tale signs of engine failure, check to see if your engine has been recalled on the GMC or Chevrolet websites, which can be found <a href="https://www.chevrolet.ca/en/ownercenter/recalls"><strong>HERE</strong></a>. You may be able to get an engine replacement at no charge to you.</p>
<p>However, if your vehicle doesn’t have an engine recall, give our team of scrap car buyers a call today. We offer MORE cash for scrap cars with dead engines than any other scrap car removal company in the Lower Mainland area.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-59"><h3>5. Timing Belt Failure</h3>
<p>Nothing totals your engine like a timing belt gone wrong because when it goes, it usually bends the valves right along with it. This makes an already big repair even bigger, which naturally comes with an even bigger repair bill.</p>
<p>Most vehicles’ timing belt has a certain life expectancy. Generally, a timing belt should be replaced on a vehicle between every 60,000kms – 100,000kms. However, some vehicles (particularly newer ones) have a timing chain instead of a timing belt.</p>
<p>The timing chain lasts as long as the vehicle’s engine, unless there is an issue with it. This is why a lot of newer vehicles use a timing chain instead of a timing belt, because it prevents additional maintenance to both the owner and the dealership (depending on what your warranty covers).</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-60"><h2>How Much Does It Cost to Replace an Engine on a Car?</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2013 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/mechanic-fixing-a-car-MCFS-bp-e1705261609208.jpg" alt="scrap car removal" width="900" height="600" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-61"><p>Every vehicle has an entirely different price tag when it comes to engine replacement. Different engines cost different amounts. Also, depending on what type of vehicle and engine you are working on, the labour involved in replacing an engine is completely different, car to car.</p>
<p>If we’re talking about a simple car engine, you’re typically looking at between $3,500 – $5,500 to replace your engine. Pick-up trucks or diesel vehicles can run upwards of $8,000. And SUVs always vary, but in general you’d be looking at approximately $5,000-$6,000 to replace your engine.</p>
<p>This is one of the main reasons that people choose to scrap a vehicle of any kind when an engine replacement is on the horizon. The cost outweighs whatever value currently remains in the vehicle, as well as whatever your initial investment was. When you’ve got a vehicle with a dead engine, More Cash For Scrap’s scrap car removal services are the way to go!</p>

We are blessed to have beautiful scenery all around us, lakes and hiking trails within a few minutes drive for most of us, and reasonable weather most of the year. The key word in that last part is MOST of the year… Which is why knowing how much it costs to replace an air conditioner on your car is so important for many of us.</p>
<p>Living in British Columbia is amazing, but it most definitely comes with a price tag. Higher taxes than most other provinces, affordable living at an all-time low, and of course, wicked summer heat waves that quite literally set our province on fire.</p>
<p>When the temperatures reach a stifling 40 degrees Celsius and higher, having A/C in your home and in your car is a life saver. For many people who can’t afford in-home A/C they retreat to their cars on hot days. This is why it’s so important to keep your vehicle’s A/C working at its best.</p>
<p>Knowing what signs to look out for when your A/C is failing is the key to getting a quick diagnosis from a mechanic. For many people, a major A/C repair is too costly to perform, so they sell their car to<a href="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/services/cash-for-broken-cars-vancouver/"> More Cash For Scrap</a>.

The difference between fixing a minor leak and fixing a compressor are two totally different values.</p>
<p>Which is why it’s important to have your vehicle properly diagnosed by a professional mechanic like our friends at <a href="http://turnercom.com/m&n/">M & N Auto in Vancouver</a>. Knowing exactly what is causing the problem is key to getting it resolved quickly and of course, economically.</p>
<p>On average, a typical car A/C repair costs between $120 – $600. This usually includes the initial diagnostic, and any minor repairs if needed. However, if there is a more complex issue, multiple issues, or other issues from other components that are affecting how the air conditioning functions, the price will naturally go up.</p>

We live in a province that is globally famous for the rampant forest fires that happen every year, simply because of the extreme heat and dryness that it faces.</p>
<p>Our weather is unpredictable, to say the least. In the middle of July (like last month, and even currently this August) we can go from 16-degree Celsius weather to 38-degree Celsius weather over night. Having a place to escape when you don’t have A/C in your home is vital. And for many people, their car becomes their sanctuary.</p>
<p>There are many issues that can happen in a car’s A/C system. Not all of them are major, but they all do need some attention in one form or another. List below are the most common A/C issues on a car, and what your mechanic will likely do about them.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-101"><h2>Most Common Air Conditioning Problems on a Car</h2>
<h3>1. Your A/C Needs to be Recharged</h3>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2717 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/no-air-car-vents-e1722915825227.jpg" alt="A/C not working" width="900" height="602" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-102"><p>Much like that cooler that you fill with ice and take to Cultus Lake on hot days, car air conditioning usually needs to be recharged in the same way that you refill your camping cooler with ice.</p>
<p>Some vehicles will never require a recharge, which means if you are having cooling issues, that you need to get your A/C serviced. Because if it never needs recharging and you’re losing cooling function, something isn’t working right. Usually this means a leak of some sort, but it can also mean a much bigger issue.</p>
<p>Your mechanic will usually put a dye into your vehicle’s A/C unit after recharging your A/C, then ask you to come back a week or so later. He will then check to see if the dye is present anywhere within your A/C unit and components. If it is, you’ve got a leak, and he’s found it.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-103"><h3>2. Your Car has a Faulty Pressure Switch</h3>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-1705 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/checkenginelight.bp_-e1693775988510.jpg" alt="sell-my-car" width="900" height="600" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-104"><p>The pressure switch is responsible for controlling the pressure (just like it sounds) inside your car’s air conditioning system. There are in fact two switches that help regulate pressure. One above and one below the compressor.</p>
<p>When one or both of these switches aren’t operating correctly, it could mean a loss of A/C function. There is a literal button that you can push in this event, but if the compressor doesn’t turn on, it means you need a mechanic to repair it because the switch is blown.</p>
<p>Fortunately, many newer vehicles will have the Check Engine Light come on when this issue happens. However, many older vehicles will not. Usually when we buy older scrap cars with mechanical issues, the A/C is another problem that they weren’t even aware of also because the Check Engine Light was on for an entirely different reason.</p>
<p>As a professional scrap car removal company serving Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley since 2005, we always say get your vehicle serviced the minute your Check Engine Light comes on. You might think you know what the problem is, but it could be indicating another entirely.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-105"><h3>3. You Have a A/C Malfunctioning Compressor</h3>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2720 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/diagnosing-air-conditioning-on-car-e1722915772788.avif" alt="Checking compressor for A/C" width="900" height="650" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-106"><p>Your A/C compressor is an extremely complex piece of machinery with many moving parts that are responsible for supplying the A/C to your car. When it malfunctions, or anything within its operating system fails, you’ll lose air conditioning capabilities.</p>
<p>Within the compressor itself, there are bearings, seals, and various other components. When the bearings fail, metal shavings can wind up in your A/C system, halting its overall function to a complete stop. When a seal fails, it allows these shavings to get into other places that they shouldn’t. This is why getting your A/C looked at promptly is important if you lose A/C in your car suddenly.</p>
<p>A quick diagnosis is imperative to preventing further damage to other vital components in your car’s engine. You might think that as a scrap car removal company that the main reason people sell us their cars is because of dead engines or blown transmissions. However, major A/C issues and/or the need for replacement is right up there in the top 5 reasons to scrap your car.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-107"><h3>4. You Need a New Belt</h3>
<p>Sometimes when your A/C is failing, it’s not the air conditioning itself that is malfunctioning, it’s a belt. Some vehicles have a belt that drives multiple accessories like air conditioning as well as power steering. Others simply have one belt that connects directly to the compressor, and only functions for the A/C system itself.</p>
<p>Depending on what symptoms your vehicle is having, you may need a belt replacement, and not a whole new A/C system or some kind of a leak. This happens because much like any other belt within your vehicle’s engine, belts wear out over time from excessive use.</p>
<p>The belt itself is relatively cheap. However, the labour going into replacing it can stack up. Depending on what type of belt it is, your mechanic may have to remove various other parts to get to it. This is where the bill will climb quickly because labour costs usually outweigh the cost of parts to fix a belt.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-108"><h2>How Much Does It Cost to Recharge My A/C on My Car?</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-2719 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/AC-Coming-Out-Vents.jpg" alt="Recharged AC" width="707" height="443" srcset="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/AC-Coming-Out-Vents-200x125.jpg 200w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/AC-Coming-Out-Vents-300x188.jpg 300w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/AC-Coming-Out-Vents-320x202.jpg 320w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/AC-Coming-Out-Vents-400x250.jpg 400w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/AC-Coming-Out-Vents.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-109"><p>If you have a minor leak and need to have your A/C recharged after getting the leak fixed, it typically costs about $280 just for the recharge, plus the cost to repair wherever the leak is coming from. This is something that also costs additional labour fees because finding a leak in your A/C system can be tricky.</p>
<p>Although recharging your car’s A/C is always something that needs to be done by a professional, the initial diagnostic is. Some vehicles don’t require their A/C to be recharged ever. Others you can do yourself, but you need to know exactly which refrigerant to buy. The cost to recharge your A/C could be as little as $10.00 if your vehicle simply needs a cheap can of refrigerant that you can buy at Canadian Tire, Princess Auto, or even KMS Tools.</p>
<p>Knowing whether or not your vehicle needs its A/C recharged or if there is a bigger issue going on within your car’s air conditioning system is a job for a professional mechanic. To help reduce the risk of costing yourself thousands of dollars more by trying to self-diagnose the problem, simply visit any local shop and tell them you need your A/C looked at.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-110"><h2>How Do I Know If I Need to Fix My A/C On My Car?</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2314 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/car-in-hot-sun-e1713878171165.jpg" alt="Car driving" width="900" height="599" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-111"><p>Much like anything that malfunctions on a vehicle, there will be signs when your air conditioning system is failing, or at the very least, needs attention. Knowing what to look for is key for you to identify that there’s an issue, and to get it looked at by a mechanic.</p>
<h3>The Most Common Signs That Your Car Has a Problem with Its A/C Are:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Air not getting cold</li>
<li>Air not getting cold fast enough</li>
<li>Air not getting cold as it once did</li>
<li>Cold air not coming through vents at all</li>
<li>Air smells like mildew when the A/C is on</li>
<li>The car makes noise when the A/C is turned on</li>
<li>Water within your car that pools on your floorboards under your dash</li>
<li>A/C suddenly goes from cold to hot</li>
</ul>
<p>Every sign and symptom indicates a different problem with your air conditioning. However, letting your mechanic know what symptoms your vehicle is having while running the A/C is crucial for getting the problem addressed correctly and quickly.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-112 fusion-text-no-margin" style="--awb-margin-bottom:-1px;"><h2>How Much Will It Cost to Replace My Air Conditioning in My Car?</h2>
<p>Every vehicle is different, and replacement may not be necessary if the issue isn’t catastrophic. However, depending on what type of vehicle you drive, what type of A/C you have, and whether or not there are other issues relating to your A/C going on, the prices can definitely vary.</p>

However, if you have air conditioning that cools both the front of your car and the backseat (you’ll usually have vents in the back passenger area), it can run upwards of $2500 – $3500, depending on the vehicle.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-114"><p>SUVs, particularly 7-seaters with rear air conditioning tend to be the most expensive. Along with certain makes and models of vehicles.</p>

</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-154"><p>British Columbia is a beautiful place to live, and Metro Vancouver is one of the most sought-after places to call home. However, it doesn’t come without an expensive price tag. From rising gas prices to overly inflated grocery bills, living in the Lower Mainland can be expensive. And when you own a vehicle, unexpected repairs can make it extremely tough. Repairs like a head gasket replacement, for instance.</p>
<p>Head gasket replacement is one of the most common repairs that we see in our line of business. More often than not, an older vehicle gets scrapped because it needs a new head gasket. And with such a hefty price tag on a repair like that, most people opt to scrap their car instead of fixing it.</p>
<p>Fortunately, <a href="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/services/cash-for-cars-with-mechanical-issues/">More Cash For Scrap offers MORE cash for scrap cars that need a head gasket replacement</a>. And with our same day scrap car removal service and free towing from anywhere in the Lower Mainland, scrapping a car doesn’t have to be a pain in the you-know-what.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-155"><h2>What Does Your Head Gasket Do on a Car?</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-2703 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/head-gasket-instructions.jpg" alt="Sell your car for cash" width="708" height="531" srcset="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/head-gasket-instructions-200x150.jpg 200w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/head-gasket-instructions-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/head-gasket-instructions-400x300.jpg 400w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/head-gasket-instructions.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-156"><p>The head gasket is a very vital component of your vehicle. It is essentially responsible for directing fluids throughout your vehicle’s engine. Without it, there would be no way to ensure that the fluids that run your vehicle are being directed to the appropriate channels. Additionally, the head gasket is also responsible for sealing the gap between the cylinder head and the engine block.</p>
<p>Furthermore, when your head gasket begins to malfunction or fail, you’ll notice a sudden decrease in your vehicle’s performance and behavior. Quirks that were previously noticeable on your car may become worse. Others may randomly disappear. And while that may seem like good news at the time that older issues vanish, it could mean that something else is about to kick the bucket.</p>
<p>If you suspect that your head gasket might be on its way out, give our scrap car removal team a call today. Even if you aren’t sure whether or not it’s your head gasket, talk to one of our dedicated scrap car removal team members and they may be able to offer some insight as to what is going on under the hood of your aging vehicle.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-157"><h2>How Can I Tell If My Head Gasket Is Blown?</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2008 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/car-breakdown-MCFS-bp.jpg" alt="car-breaking-down" width="835" height="395" srcset="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/car-breakdown-MCFS-bp-200x95.jpg 200w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/car-breakdown-MCFS-bp-300x142.jpg 300w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/car-breakdown-MCFS-bp-400x189.jpg 400w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/car-breakdown-MCFS-bp-600x284.jpg 600w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/car-breakdown-MCFS-bp-768x363.jpg 768w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/car-breakdown-MCFS-bp-800x378.jpg 800w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/car-breakdown-MCFS-bp.jpg 835w" sizes="(max-width: 835px) 100vw, 835px" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-158"><p>Aside from the fact that usually when your head gasket goes, it often blows off a lot of steam (hence the term, “blown” head gasket”), there are also other ways to check if your head gasket has failed.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-159"><h3>1. Check Your Engine Oil</h3>
<p>If you notice that your vehicle is running differently, and that there is some excessive or unusual steam coming up from the engine, be sure to pull over and check your oil. If you notice that your engine’s oil looks milky instead of the usual dark brown, light brown, or black colour, that could indicate a blown head gasket.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-160"><h3>2. Check Your Exhaust</h3>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2694 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/White-Smoke-Tailpipes.jpg" alt="Cash for scrap cars with head gasket issues" width="900" height="506" srcset="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/White-Smoke-Tailpipes-200x112.jpg 200w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/White-Smoke-Tailpipes-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/White-Smoke-Tailpipes-400x225.jpg 400w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/White-Smoke-Tailpipes-600x337.jpg 600w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/White-Smoke-Tailpipes-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/White-Smoke-Tailpipes-800x450.jpg 800w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/White-Smoke-Tailpipes.jpg 900w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-161"><p>If you’ve noticed excessive smoke that has appeared suddenly when your vehicle is idling (or if it is present, but gets worse when you accelerate), it could mean that your head gasket has either blown or is about to.</p>
<p>Typically, when the head gasket has actually failed, you’ll see noticeable thick, white smoke billowing out of your tailpipes. If you are seeing new exhaust emissions, or the white is faint and combined with a minimal amount of smoke, your head gasket may be on its way out.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-162"><h3>3. Check Your Sparkplugs</h3>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2704 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/wp-15901557413084637223659405355605-scaled-e1722306575817.jpg" alt="Head gasket Replacement" width="900" height="525" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-163"><p>Now, unless you are mechanically inclined, a trained or practicing mechanic, or have a friend who is and can check your sparkplugs for you, it’s best to have this step done by a professional mechanic like out friends at <a href="https://www.napaautopro.com/auto-repair/british-columbia/coquitlam-access-auto-centre/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NAPA Autopro in Coquitlam</a>.</p>
<p>One of the best ways to tell if your head gasket is toast is if there is either coolant or engine oil on the sparkplugs. This is without a doubt much more difficult to do than looking at your tailpipe or checking your oil. Furthermore, it will incur an added expense if you get a professional to do it for you, but it is a foolproof way to know if your head gasket has blown.</p>
<p>As a professional scrap car removal company that has been serving Metro Vancouver since 2005, we see a lot of vehicles with various issues. However, blown head gaskets are a very prominent issue and are one of the biggest reasons people use our scrap car removal services.</p>
<p>If you have a vehicle with a dead engine, failed transmission, or blown head gasket, scrap it with More Cash For Scrap. We provide same day scrap car removal and always pay MORE cash for scrap cars than the other guys.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-164"><h3>4. Check Your Radiator</h3>
<p>Just to foreshadow this next step a little bit, when your head gasket actually “blows”, steam is released rapidly through your radiator. So, while we are advising that one way to see if your head gasket needs replacing is by checking your radiator, you’ll usually already know.</p>
<p>However, if you haven’t yet had a blast of steam coming from under your hood, checking the radiator is another great way to see what’s going on with your head gasket. If the fluid inside is frothy or foamy, that means that air is leaking into your cooling system.</p>
<p>Additionally, if the fluid is milky coloured (much like the potential colour of your exhaust), it could also indicate a failed head gasket because this is the product of oil and fuel combining inadvertently.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-165"><h3>5. Check Your Coolant Levels</h3>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2705 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Coolant-Level-Check-1.jpg" alt="Check your coolant" width="800" height="400" srcset="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Coolant-Level-Check-1-200x100.jpg 200w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Coolant-Level-Check-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Coolant-Level-Check-1-400x200.jpg 400w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Coolant-Level-Check-1-600x300.jpg 600w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Coolant-Level-Check-1-768x384.jpg 768w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Coolant-Level-Check-1.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-166"><p>Another way to tell if your head gasket needs repair or replacing is if your coolant levels are low. While other things can also cause low levels of coolant, when combined with other noticeable problems related to your head gasket, it could indicate that it needs servicing.</p>
<p>Coolant generally never needs replenishing unless there is a leak somewhere in the system. It can fluctuate a little up and down because of varying temperature exposures. However, it should always remain around a certain level. If it doesn’t, it could indicate a serious problem with your head gasket.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-167"><h2>What Happens When Your Head Gasket Goes?</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-1704 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/car-breakdown-e1693775734243.jpg" alt="cash-for-scrap-cars" width="900" height="600" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-168"><p>Have you ever heard the phrase, “Relax! Don’t blow a head gasket?”. If you have, you might be wondering why that reference is applied to someone who is angry. Well, when a head gasket blows, it quite literally, blows.</p>
<p>That’s why you’ll notice blue or white smoke suddenly coming from your tailpipe. Also, you may notice steam escaping from under your hood if other components of your engine’s cooling system have been damaged due to the failed gasket. Also, your engine’s compression is affected by a failing or failed head gasket, so steam and smoke only has one way to go… Out!</p>
<p>Getting your vehicle diagnosed promptly is imperative when it comes to a suspected head gasket failure. If you don’t get your head gasket looked at right away, it could lead to further damage to your engine and various other parts including your vehicle’s cooling system components.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-169"><h2>What Are the Signs of a Blown Head Gasket?</h2>
<p>Much like when anything goes mechanically on a car, there will definitely be signs when your head gasket has blown or is about to. Knowing what signs and symptoms to watch out for is key to getting your vehicle diagnosed quickly, and potentially preventing further damage to your car’s engine and components.</p>
<h3>The biggest signs that your head gasket needs replacing are:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Poor temperature control</li>
<li>Your engine overheats (especially when it’s not summertime)</li>
<li>Coolant loss when no coolant appears to be leaking from your vehicle</li>
<li>White coloured or thick exhaust smoke coming from your tailpipe(s)</li>
<li>Discoloured oil (particularly milky coloured)</li>
<li>Bubbing within your radiator</li>
<li>Noticeable loss of power and worsening performance overall</li>
<li>Leaking fluids (not coolant, mainly oil)</li>
<li>Rough running motor</li>
</ul>
<p>While some of these symptoms can indicate other mechanical issues or failures within your vehicle’s engine, they are quite indicative that your head gasket needs professional attention. If you don’t want to put the time or money into addressing anymore mechanical issues on your older vehicle, talk to More Cash For Scrap today.</p>
<p>We can’t fix your car, but we can definitely offer MORE cash for scrap cars with blown head gasket and various other mechanical issues. At the very least, you can find out what your vehicle is worth, despite the problems it may be having.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-170"><h2>How Much Does It Cost to Replace Your Head Gasket on a Car?</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2700 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/blown-cylinder-head-replacement_Moment-1170x650-1-e1722306890717.jpg" alt="Head gasket replacement & repair" width="900" height="500" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-171"><p>A head gasket replacement is one of the most expensive repairs on a vehicle, next to engine replacement and transmission replacement. This is probably why we scrap so many vehicles that need a new head gasket in Metro Vancouver.</p>
<p>As a professional scrap car removal company that has been buying junk vehicles throughout the Lower Mainland since 2005, we’ve seen it all. And we know that head gaskets are not only expensive to repair, but they are also time consuming.</p>
<p>As far as the cost of replacement goes, it varies from vehicle to vehicle. On average, you’re looking at a minimum of $1000 – $2000 just for the head gasket itself. Additionally, higher-end vehicles that need a new head gasket will usually cost thousands more because they need additional parts and components, which also increases the cost of labour.</p>
<p>For a late model vehicle, the average cost of a head gasket replacement (including all parts and labour) runs between $3000 – $6000. Truck head gaskets can run even higher because much like higher-end vehicles, they require many other parts and components that work in synch with the head gasket itself.</p>

Our prices range from $50 – $1000, depending on what you’re scrapping and why. Vehicles that are still running usually command a higher payout. Whereas vehicles that are inoperable and are without wheels or keys are on the lower end of what we can pay.</p>
<p>To find out what your junk vehicle is worth, simply provide our scrap car removal team with the make, model, year, condition, mileage, and location of your car. Then, let us know of any recent repairs it has had, or any that it might need. We’ll make you an instant cash offer right over the phone once we’ve collected all the details.</p>
<p>If you accept our offer, we’ll arrange a day and time for our free auto scrap pickup service to come collect your vehicle. This can be done any day of the week, day or night. We provide scrap car removal 7 days a week from 7:00 AM-11:00 PM, and even work on many statutory holidays too!</p>

This is something that one of the biggest tire manufacturers in North America, <a href="https://www.michelin.ca/en/">Michelin Tires</a>, is putting forth with their intentions of designing a 100% sustainable tire by the year 2050.</p>
<p>Originally based out of France, Michelin has always been a forward-thinking tire producer. Not only do they tend to produce the least amount of waste in their tire production overall, but they are also always looking for ways to help preserve and protect the environment on every level.</p>
<p>That’s why even though they currently do use synthetic materials to produce their tires and other products, they also utilize many of the old tires that they’ve produced through responsible recycling and repurposing practices.

This is why we are so proud to see that Michelin is working hard to produce a fully sustainable tire that is comprised of rice husks, instead of traditional rubber and other synthetic.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-209"><h2>How Is Michelin Turning Rice Husks into Tires?</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2651 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Rice-husk-e1721237496817.jpg" alt="Sustainable tire" width="900" height="507" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-210"><p>You might be asking yourself how a tire producer can create durable rubber that will last as long as a regular time out of nothing more than rice husks, but it is very, very possible.</p>
<p>Currently, while Michelin does use many synthetic materials to construct their tires, they also use a lot of recycled tires in their current production system to help minimize waste. This is one of the green ways of thinking that sets them apart from other tire producers in Canada and the United States.</p>
<p>In order to turn rice husks into a rubber substitute, Michelin must first convert rice husk into rice husk ash. This is done through a controlled process of burning the rice husk until it is ash that has a specific density.</p>
<p>The rice husk ash contains natural silica (approximately 20% per husk), which is one of the materials used to make tires every day. However, the silica used to make tires today is very synthetic, whereas the naturally occurring silica in rice husk ash will be renewable in the future.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-211"><h2>Does Michelin Only Make Tires in Canada?</h2>
<p>Yes, Michelin is primarily a tire production and manufacturing company across Canada, the US, Mexico, and France. However, they make much more than simply tires for the everyday car.</p>
<h3>Michelin Makes Tires For:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Cars</li>
<li>Trucks</li>
<li>SUVs</li>
<li>Vans</li>
<li>Motorcycles</li>
<li>Heavy equipment machinery</li>
<li>Bicycles</li>
<li>Military vehicles made for land and sea</li>
<li>Various aircraft</li>
<li>Space shuttles</li>
</ul>
<p>In fact, Michelin is one of the largest producing tire companies worldwide and produced a record 166 million tires globally last year. No wonder they want to come up with a more sustainable way to reduce their carbon footprint and lower emissions that affect climate change through global warming.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-212"><h2>Do Tires Get Recycled When I Scrap My Car?</h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2652 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/michelin-tire-e1721237602932.jpg" alt="Sell your car" width="900" height="300" /></p>

When the reality is that scrap car removal is much MORE about protecting the environment through ethical recycling and car disposal practices.</p>
<p>That’s why if you are planning on junking your car because of damage, age, an increasing list of repair bills, or anything in between, you should choose the scrap car removal services of More Cash For Scrap.</p>

<p>Part of the very critical process of scrapping older vehicles is the disposable of chemicals, fluids, and other harmful toxins that can put Vancouver’s ecosystem at risk. When you choose a scrap car removal company like us, we ensure that all of the dangerous goods are disposed of in an ethical way, while making sure that nothing ends up anywhere other than a government regulated receptacle or disposal unit.</p>
<p>Furthermore, we recycle various parts other than the metal itself on a car. Things like batteries, catalytic converters, engine components (even entire engines), transmissions, and things like interior gauges, glass, and seats and carpeting get reused, repurposed, or recycled.</p>
<p>When you recycle your car with our scrap car removal services, only about 15% of your vehicle actually ends up in the local landfills. That means that the remaining 85% is out there living its best life once again as something new!</p>

From cars with blown transmissions to brand-new hybrids with major collision damage; every vehicle we buy comes to us for a different reason.</p>
<p>One of the more commonly asked questions by customers who are considering scrap car removal is, “How do I know if I should scrap my car?”. This question is usually followed by, “what are the most common reasons that people scrap their cars?”. And while every vehicle we buy has a different ailment, there are, without a doubt, some issues that are more frequent than others.</p>
<p>Today’s blog post is going to take an in-depth look at why people scrap their vehicles, what the most common reasons for scrapping them are, and what you should do if you think your car is suffering with major mechanical or electrical problems.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-249"><h2>How Do I Know If I Should Scrap My Car?</h2>

While some vehicles need expensive repairs, those repairs may be worth it in the long run, depending on what other issues the vehicle does or does not have.</p>
<p>Other vehicles are fairly new with virtually no mechanical or electrical problems but have extensive collision damage. Collision damage can often lead to safety concerns like structural integrity, ability to maneuver or brake, and functionality of the air bag system.</p>
<p>Whether your vehicle is faced with a long list of upcoming repairs, or collision damage that has rendered it inoperable (or close to it), there are several things to consider before scrapping your car. We will get into more detail about this later on in this blog post.</p>

<h3>1. Dead Engines</h3>

</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-252"><p>Nothing says “scrap car” like a vehicle with a dead engine. Which is why this is the most predominant ailment that we see in the cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans that we scrap across <a href="https://metrovancouver.org/">Metro Vancouver</a> and the Fraser Valley.</p>
<p>When you live in the Lower Mainland, you are subject to such adverse weather conditions that can change on a dime. From one minute to the next, we Vancouverites are faced with every season. It can snow in the morning, then rain or hail in the afternoon, and by dinnertime we are enjoying a meal on our patio in 30-degree Celsius weather watching the sunset. All of these varying conditions are just as hard on vehicles as they are on humans. In fact, sometimes harder.</p>
<p>The extreme cold that we face in the winter can often lead older vehicles to end up with a cracked engine block. However, in the summer months, when we are hit with forest fires and outrageous heat, engines are prone to overheating. Particularly when you live somewhere like New Westminster or North Vancouver and spend most of your time on the road climbing hills.</p>
<h3>Signs Your Engine Needs Replacing Include:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Check engine light is one</li>
<li>Knocking sound coming from your engine</li>
<li>Frequent overheating</li>
<li>Poor or worsening performance</li>
<li>Decreased fuel economy</li>
<li>New or unusual vibrations</li>
<li>Burning or leaking oil</li>
</ul>
<p>It’s a combination of weather, conditions stemming from it, the stop-and-go driving that we do in Metro Vancouver (and parts of the Fraser Valley) and driving an aging vehicle that can all lead to a dead engine. No wonder we always pay MORE cash for cars with dead engines, hey?!</p>

<p>If you look around the city you live in, whether you’re located in Metro Vancouver or the Fraser Valley, you’ll notice that more of the vehicles on the road are newer than they ever were before.</p>

<p>While you might think that purchasing a newer vehicle will avoid needing to fork out big bucks on something like a transmission, you may be wrong. Plus, the cost of a transmission on a newer vehicle has also skyrocketed. Subsequently, this is why so many people choose to scrap their car when the transmission is toast. Regardless of the age of their vehicle.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-257"><h3>3. Failed Timing Belt</h3>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2584 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/timing-belt-replacement-1024x683-1-e1720376846242.jpg" alt="Cash for scrap cars" width="900" height="600" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-258"><p>Timing belts are another common issue that turn a perfectly good car into a scrap vehicle. Although the failure of the timing belt itself isn’t the exact reason for scrapping a car. The actual problem is the damage that the vehicle’s engine incurs when the timing belt (or timing chain) goes, and the vehicle continues to drive.</p>
<p>When your timing belt goes, the engine will not run correctly. The timing belt is responsible for exactly what its name states; timing. When the belt goes, your engine’s valves and piston are no longer running in sync and collide as a result. This then causes your valves to become damaged or bent.</p>
<p>Once that happens, an engine replacement usually follows suit. With such a major repair bill (a lot of it stemming from the labour involved with this kind of repair), many people end up scrapping their cars instead of repairing them.</p>
<h3>Signs Your Timing Belt Needs Replacing Include:</h3>
<ul>
<li>A constant ticking noise when the vehicle is running</li>
<li>Difficult starting the vehicle (or unable to start your car at all)</li>
<li>Prominent exhaust smoke coming from your tailpipe</li>
<li>New and very noticeable vibrations (especially while accelerating)</li>
<li>New and worsening oil leaks</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’re noticing any of the above symptoms on your vehicle, it might be time to get your timing belt serviced.<a href="https://black-well.ca/"> You can visit our friends at Blackwell Transmissions</a>. Whether your vehicle requires a rebuild, a reseal, or a new install, our well trained staff …will accurately diagnose and repair your vehicle … (black-well.ca) to see if your vehicle needs a belt service, replacement, and to investigate any potential damage done to your engine if it has failed.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-259"><h3>4. Electrical Problems</h3>
<p><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-2009 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Car-with-electrical-issies-MCFS-bp.jpg" alt="Cash for cars with electrical problems" width="674" height="432" srcset="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Car-with-electrical-issies-MCFS-bp-200x128.jpg 200w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Car-with-electrical-issies-MCFS-bp-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Car-with-electrical-issies-MCFS-bp-400x257.jpg 400w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Car-with-electrical-issies-MCFS-bp-460x295.jpg 460w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Car-with-electrical-issies-MCFS-bp.jpg 474w" sizes="(max-width: 674px) 100vw, 674px" /></p>
</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-260"><p>Aaahhh, a mechanic’s worst nightmare, but also their best friend. While repairing electrical problems is tedious because of how vast the electrical system is on a vehicle, it is also a gold mine for many mechanics because the labour costs are typically through the roof. This is why so many people end up scrapping a vehicle with electrical problems.</p>
<p>Electrical problems on a car can be quick and easy to fix in some cases. There are many instances where all that’s needed is a simple fuse replacement, a wire replaced, or a new alternator installed. However, other times it can be a complete nightmare for both you and your mechanic.</p>
<h3>Signs Your Vehicle Has an Electrical Problem Include:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Difficulty starting the vehicle</li>
<li>Flickering interior or exterior lights</li>
<li>Needing frequent headlight replacements</li>
<li>Loss of power</li>
<li>Frequently blowing fuses</li>
<li>Smell of burning plastic (or burning in general)</li>
<li>Battery not holding a charge</li>
</ul>
<p>As mentioned a moment ago, your car’s electrical system is not only vast, it’s complex. Finding the source of a short or malfunction can take multiple visits, various diagnostic tests, and you may still not get to the bottom of it. Why? Because sometimes there is more than one electrical issue going on inside your vehicle.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-261 fusion-text-no-margin" style="--awb-margin-bottom:-1px;"><h3>5. Safety Issues</h3>
<p>When you live in an urban area as busy as Metro Vancouver, safety is always on your mind when you’re behind the wheel. That’s why many consumers look at the safety rating and available warranty before purchasing a vehicle.</p>

<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2585 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/car-crashed-highway-scaled-e1720378058118.jpg" alt="Cash for cars with collision damage" width="900" height="600" /></p>

In Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, there is a lot of traffic and naturally, accidents happen as a result.</p>
<p>When vehicles get major collision damage, it isn’t always a bent frame that prompts ICBC to write the vehicle off. If the damage incurred during the accident costs more to repair than what the vehicle is worth, they will generally write it off as a total loss.</p>

However, the fact of the matter is that those acronyms for Ford are entirely true when it comes to certain models. This just happens to be the case with the Ford Focus.</p>
<p>Known for being one of the more popular Ford sedans, the Ford Focus had great promise when it was released as it offered everything a consumer wanted in a compact car, but with the features and styling that usually comes with a mid-sized sedan.</p>
<p>However, not too long after the sales skyrocketed, word got out that owning a Ford Focus was not in your best interest as a consumer. With a long list of mechanical issues that included everything from something minor like a faulty wiper motor, to something massive like a failed transmission, the sales of the <a href="https://www.ford.com/cars/focus/">Ford Focus</a> soon began to plummet.</p>
<p>This blog post is about the most common Ford Focus problems, large and small, what years were affected the most, and what to look out for if you are buying a used Ford Focus today.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-305 fusion-text-no-margin" style="--awb-margin-bottom:-1px;"><h2>Ford Focus Transmission Problems</h2>
<p>One of the biggest complaints about the Ford Focus reported by consumers across Canada would have to be their transmissions. And anyone who knows even a little bit about cars, knows that the transmission is essentially the beating heart of your vehicle.</p>

With the Ford Focus, however, they happen much sooner than on other vehicles, and they tend to be much more prominent. This is due in part to the fact that many consumers reported experiencing multiple signs and symptoms that their transmission was failing all at once.</p>
<h3>Signs Your Transmission Is Failing on Your Ford Focus:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Hesitation when accelerating</li>
<li>Thumping or clunking when decelerating</li>
<li>Slipping gears</li>
<li>Transmission overheating</li>
<li>Difficulty shifting in and out of any gear</li>
<li>Solenoid failure (this is usually identified by a mechanic)</li>
<li>Grinding or whining noise</li>
</ul>
<p>Other signs that your transmission is failing include worsening gas mileage, an increase in oil consumption, and any other unusual sounds or vibrations that are combined with some of the above noted symptoms.</p>

<p><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-2525 alignleft" src="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2005-Ford-Focus-e1719177668456.jpg" alt="Cash for Scrap Cars" width="830" height="443" srcset="https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2005-Ford-Focus-e1719177668456-200x107.jpg 200w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2005-Ford-Focus-e1719177668456-300x160.jpg 300w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2005-Ford-Focus-e1719177668456-400x214.jpg 400w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2005-Ford-Focus-e1719177668456-600x320.jpg 600w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2005-Ford-Focus-e1719177668456-768x410.jpg 768w, https://www.morecashforscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2005-Ford-Focus-e1719177668456.jpg 781w" sizes="(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px" /></p>

If you are planning to buy a used Ford Focus, be sure to take extra steps to ensure that any known issues have already been addressed.</p>
<p>A good place to start is to run the vehicle’s VIN # through the recall database that is offered on the Ford website. This can be found <a href="https://www.ford.ca/support/recalls/"><strong>HERE</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Plus, if they haven’t been identified and repaired, have a professional mechanic perform a thorough vehicle inspection on the car before buying it. Vehicle inspections for the purpose of purchasing a used vehicle can be performed by almost any professional and licensed mechanic.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-313"><h2>Where Can I Get a Vehicle Inspection Done in the Lower Mainland?</h2>

</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-314"><p>BCAA offers a professional inspection for a little over $100. This makes getting a vehicle inspection on a used vehicle BEFORE buying it so much easier with the mobile inspection service that is offered by <a href="https://www.bcaa.com/automotive/bcaa-auto-service-centre/vehicle-inspections">BCAA</a>.</p>
<p>There are also various local mechanics throughout Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland that will provide a professional inspection on any used vehicle for a set price. Before checking with a mechanic about having the vehicle inspected, ask the current owner if one has been done, and if they can provide you with a copy of the inspection report if it has had one recently.</p>
<p>If you are the owner of a Ford Focus that has been plagued with transmission issues and are looking to sell your vehicle, don’t fret. More Cash For Scrap offers MORE cash for scrap cars including vehicles with transmission issues.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-315"><h2>Most Common Ford Focus Problems</h2>
<p>The list of issues that are prevalent on the Ford Focus is longer than most vehicles, which means the likelihood of you experiencing problems with your vehicle is about 90%.</p>
<p>Some are issues that can happen on any vehicle but happen prematurely on the Ford Focus. While others are the result of a design flaw or poorly built components. Regardless, these are the most common issues you’ll experience when owning any year of the Ford Focus.</p>

They sound like trucks in some cases, but in reality, they are still just small cars with extremely loud exhaust.</p>
<p>In other cases, there are big trucks that somehow sound like a Harley-Davidson or some other extremely loud vehicle, when they really shouldn’t. This is because there are some vehicle owners who love their vehicle to sound much bigger, louder, and perhaps tougher than it does. Others simply just love the sound of loud exhaust for whatever reason.</p>
<p>And while some of us may not understand why they love the sound of a rattling exhaust pipe, or that growly revved up engine that reverberates throughout the neighbourhood, we all do our best to co-exist.</p>
<p>For those of us who just can’t handle the noise that our neighbour, co-worker, or even our family member’s car produces, we ask ourselves the question, “are there any <a href="https://www.drivesmartbc.ca/miscellaneous/qa-what-do-about-noisy-vehicles">laws in British Columbia to prevent excessively noisy vehicles</a>?”. We will discover that in today’s blog post.</p>

However, the noise much be deemed not only excessive, but it must also be unnecessary.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-352"><h3>Division 7A of the BC Motor Vehicle Act states the following:</h3>
<p>“No person shall start, drive, turn or stop any motor vehicle, or accelerate the vehicle engine while the vehicle is stationary, in a manner which causes any loud and unnecessary noise in or from the engine, exhaust system or the braking system, or from the contact of the tires with the roadway.”</p>
<p>In addition to the statement above, there are usually other factors that come into play before an RCMP officer or CSVE officer issues a ticket for excessive noise. They aren’t usually only listening for a violation, but typically will also look for something that is considered a violation as well.</p>
<h3>Things Like:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Rotting vehicle parts</li>
<li>Missing or severely damage vehicle parts</li>
<li>Wreckless driving habits</li>
<li>Unsafe stopping or starting</li>
<li>Billowing exhaust fumes</li>
<li>Severe leaks that are noticeable while driving</li>
</ul>
<p>Many of the issues listed above are reasons that people in the Lower Mainland end us selling their car, truck, SUV, or van to More Cash For Scrap.

However, some sounds aren’t nearly as loud on the inside of a vehicle as they are on the outside, so you might be unaware just how offensive your vehicle’s noises are to other people.</p>
<p>Generally, you’ll only be ticketed by authorities if your vehicle noise is extremely loud, and ongoing. The occasional squealing or screeching of brakes isn’t usually a cause for concern. However, if they squeal non-stop, even when you are not actually braking, you could be at risk for being ticketed.</p>
<h3>What Types of Noise Are Considered Excessive?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Very loud music (especially with excessive bass)</li>
<li>Very loud exhaust</li>
<li>Rattling loose parts or components that disturb the public</li>
<li>Trucks with loose louds that rattle when transported</li>
<li>Vehicles that are towing a recreational or utility vehicle that generate loud noise</li>
<li>Skidding tires from braking intentionally hard</li>
<li>Unreasonable brake screeching, squealing, or whining</li>
<li>A horn that won’t shut off</li>
</ul>
<h3>What Types of Noise Are Not Considered Excessive?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Reasonable brake noise such as squealing or screeching only when braking</li>
<li>Rattling loads on trucks like ladders, landscaping equipment, etc.</li>
<li>Loud music that doesn’t physically shake the vehicle or others around it</li>
<li>Tire skidding with the purpose of avoiding an accident</li>
<li>Screaming or cheering out of your car in a brief celebratory manner</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, if you have multiple loud noises coming from your car because of multiple issues, you’re even more likely to be pulled over and receive a ticket. In some cases, you can even be issued a Notice and Order to repair the part of your vehicle that is generating the loud sound</p>

You have an engine, a transmission, and of course, an exhaust system that emits all of the gases and pollutants that come from the combustion that is involved inside of your engine.</p>
<p>Although vehicles are much more complex than the simple breakdown that we just gave you, they all rely heavily on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_converter">catalytic converters</a> to ensure that any emissions that come from the vehicle are as harmless as possible.</p>
<p>British Columbia is known for being a very clean energy-forward province and has always made reducing emissions a priority. When your vehicle doesn’t have a catalytic converter, the emissions that leave your vehicle are not nearly as clean as they could be.</p>
<p>But does that mean you NEED to have a catalytic converter in order for your vehicle to run properly? Read today’s blog post to find out!</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-397 fusion-text-no-margin" style="--awb-margin-bottom:-1px;"><h2>What Does a Catalytic Converter Do?</h2>
<p>The main job of a catalytic converter is to regulate exhaust system emissions on any given vehicle. Its primary function is to convert toxic gases and various other pollutants created by your vehicle into less toxic gases so that they can be emitted in a much safer manner than if emitted without a converter.</p>

Although rust is a pain in the you-know-what, it can also lead to a whole host of other problems mechanically on your vehicle. And when it comes to the catalytic converter, rust can be catastrophic.</p>
<p>Once your converter starts to corrode, the toxic fumes that it is meant to reduce can easily escape, which means your vehicle is now leaking harmful emissions. But what about if your catalytic converter is stolen? Do you have to replace it in order to drive on British Columbia roads? The answer is yes, you do. British Columbia requires that all vehicles have a catalytic converter in order to operate on BC roadways.</p>

It all depends on the type of vehicle you drive, the type of catalytic converter that you require, and the labour that it takes to remove the old one (if it’s still there) and install the new one.</p>
<h3>According to AutoZone, there are 2 specific types of catalytic converters on vehicles:</h3>
<p><strong>1. Two-way catalytic converters</strong></p>
<p>They primarily convert carbon monoxide (CO) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxidize unburnt hydrocarbons (HC) into water (H2O) and CO2. Two-way converters are generally found in older vehicles, many of which are still on the road today.</p>
<p><strong>2. Three-way catalytic converters</strong></p>
<p>These are more advanced and can also reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, converting them into nitrogen gas (N2) and oxygen (O2). Three-way converters are used in most modern vehicles and are more effective at reducing overall emissions.</p>
<p>Typically, a catalytic converter replacement will cost anywhere between $400 – $2,500 on a car. However, when you are replacing a catalytic converter on a larger vehicle like a truck, van, or large size SUV, you could be looking at up to $4,500. This is one of the reasons we buy so many scrap vehicles that are in need of a new catalytic converter.</p>

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-412"><h2>Do All Catalytic Converters Contain Precious Metals?</h2>
<p>Yes, because the combination of metals inside of the converter are what is responsible for the filtration of toxics gases. However, the main metal required for a catalytic converter to function properly is platinum.</p>
<p>On average, a vehicle’s converter will have approximately 3-7 grams of platinum in it to help reduce emissions as much as possible. However, vehicles like newer hybrids have a higher amount of platinum in their catalytic converters because they are noted as clean energy vehicles, and the primary purpose of hybrids is to reduce emissions.</p>
<p>The increased amount of platinum, as well as other precious metals, puts hybrid vehicles at a higher risk for catalytic converter theft in Metro Vancouver. And in a city that runs on almost as many clean energy vehicles as non-clean energy vehicles, hybrid owners need to be aware that they could be targeted.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-413 fusion-text-no-margin" style="--awb-margin-bottom:-1px;"><h2>Are People Still Stealing Catalytic Converters in Vancouver?</h2>
<p>Yes, they are still being stolen from many Vancouver residents. Despite all of the efforts of our provincial government, thieves haven’t backed off very much from stealing catalytic converters in Metro Vancouver. However, due to the increased difficulty in recycling them, catalytic converter thieves are selling them online through various different platforms, and even on the black market now.</p>

You can also be quite a novice when it comes to vehicle mechanics and know a good transmission from a bad one. Also, thanks to the wonders of technology, all it takes is a simple “Googling” of your vehicle and any signs and symptoms that it might have, to get a decent baseline for what may need repairing.</p>
<p>Although most vehicle owners have a usual mechanic that they take their vehicle to whenever repairs are needed, it’s always a good idea to do some preliminary research as to what kind of issues you may be having with your vehicle by looking up the symptoms that it’s presenting. This will help your mechanic to pinpoint whether or not you need to replace your transmission.</p>
<p>One thing most mechanics will tell you is that buying a vehicle with a CVT transmission is not highly recommended. Many car manufacturers use CVT transmissions, it really does make buying a new car kind of limiting if you are trying to avoid CVT’s because of it.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-453 fusion-text-no-margin" style="--awb-margin-bottom:-1px;"><h2>What Is a CVT Transmission?</h2>
<p>For those of us who aren’t familiar with what a CVT transmission is (many people didn’t even know that there were different types of transmissions), allow us to elaborate.</p>

It is a shiftless and stepless transmission, which offers superior fuel economy and some of the smoothest shifting between gears that is available. This is why so many automakers used CVT transmission, despite their poor reliability.</p>

The CVT transmissions are notorious for failing prematurely, and it’s why you need to be careful before buying a new vehicle.</p>

</div><div class="fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep" style="align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:11px;width:100%;"></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-457"><p>When you drive around a busy urban area like Downtown Vancouver, Surrey, Langley, or Richmond, chances are that you are surrounded by vehicles that all run on a CVT transmission. More car makers use the CVT transmissions nowadays than not.</p>
<p>Part of the reason why is not solely because of the smoother shifting capability and better fuel economy, but also because using a transmission that offers some very good incentives, but breaks down sooner than others, also helps them promote their extended warranty.</p>
<p>This is where many car manufacturers will offer an amazing extended warranty that covers everything including the drivetrain or powertrain. When they are aware of a known side effect of selling a vehicle with a CVT transmission, they have to offer a safeguard for consumers.</p>
<p>They do this by pushing hard on the purchase of their extended warranty. And although many consumers may need to utilize the warranty, many will opt out of buying it, thus saving the car company money by not replacing a transmission with known issues.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-458"><h2>What Car Companies Use a CVT Transmission?</h2>
<p>You’d be surprised but there are more companies that use CVT transmission than not. That’s because a big selling point for automakers is a comfortable ride, smooth shifting, and great fuel economy. If you’ve recently started having issues with your transmission and your vehicle is only a few years old, you could have a CVT under the hood.</p>
<h3>Companies that Use CVT Transmissions Include:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Nissan</li>
<li>Subaru</li>
<li>Honda</li>
<li>Toyota</li>
<li>Mitsubishi</li>
<li><a href="https://www.hyundaicanada.com/">Hyundai</a></li>
<li>Kia</li>
<li>Chevrolet</li>
<li>Buick</li>
<li>Ford</li>
<li>Audi</li>
</ul>
<p>Some of the brands on this list are known for exceptional reliability and very minimal maintenance requirements, so you might be wondering why they have fewer reports than others about failing transmissions.</p>
<p>This happens because, like anything, not all CVT transmissions are created equal. While they typically are more likely to incur malfunction, some car manufacturers produce a higher quality transmission, despite the engineering flaws that typically result in failure.</p>

<p>If you notice a whistling or whining sound coming from your vehicle when you’re driving, it could indicate that your transmission has seen better days.

<p>Things like failing fans, worn-out belts, and many other malfunctioning components could also make a whining or whistling sound on an aging vehicle. But if you’re noticing the sounds along with any other signs of a bad transmission, your tranny is likely to be the cause.</p>

Others never need to have their transmission fluid changed at all. In general, most newer vehicles require their ATF to be changed every 100,000kms. But check with your regular mechanic if your car needs it at all, and if so, when it was last done before you change it.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-472"><h3>6. Hesitation</h3>
<p>There’s nothing more gut wrenching than when you are trying to make a hairy left turn at a busy Downtown Vancouvert intersection, and as you stomp on the gas to go, your car hesitates. Making that split second feel like an eternity, and leaving you wondering why your car didn’t respond as promptly as it normally does.</p>
<p>If you notice a new hesitation upon accelerating on your vehicle, it could be a sign that your transmission is bad or failing. The hesitation is usually caused by the transmission itself slipping when shifting gears. It means that your transmission is struggling to either move into the next gear, or is having a hard time staying in it.</p>
<p>A vehicle that hesitates when acclerating or decelerating is usually a key indication that the transmission is malfunctioning. It doesn’t always mean that you need to replace your transmission, as sometimes this can be cause by a linkage issue. Have it checked out by a professional to see what your next steps should be.</p>

<p>Every transmission replacement cost is different because every transmission and every vehicle is different. While some may use the same type of transmission as others, the labour involved may be different depending on the build of the engine and transmission.</p>

Now, that might seem like a lot, but the cost only increases with other vehicles. Trucks tend to be one of the most expensive transmissions to replace as the cost to replace their transmission varies between $6,000 – $9,000. However, even some of the newer hybrid vehicles have a big price tag to go along with their small transmission.</p>
