Automoves Moves Inoperable Vehicles and Salvage Cars Across Canada
TORONTO, ON, June 30, 2026 — Automoves, Canada’s leading finished vehicle logistics provider, moves hundreds of vehicles every week across its national network, including a significant volume of inoperable, damaged, and salvage title units. The company provides specialized salvage car transport and inoperable vehicle shipping services from auction facilities, insurance yards, collision centres, and storage lots in every major market across Canada.
Shipping a salvage or inoperable vehicle is not the same as moving a running car. The equipment, loading process, and handling requirements all change depending on the vehicle’s condition. Automoves maintains dedicated winch loading and hydraulic lift gate equipment across its fleet, allowing drivers to safely load vehicles that cannot be driven, steered, or braked onto the carrier. This includes everything from crashed sports cars and flood-damaged pickups to vehicles with seized brakes, broken suspension, or flat tires.
The company’s inoperable vehicle shipping operations are built around its five hub network spanning Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver. That footprint allows Automoves to retrieve vehicles promptly after auction release or insurance clearance, reducing the storage fees that accumulate at holding facilities. The company coordinates directly with yards, collision centres, and insurance facilities to navigate release procedures and schedule pickups efficiently.
A vehicle’s condition is our starting point, not a barrier. Whether it rolls onto the carrier or needs to be winched on, the standard of care is the same. Every vehicle gets the same inspection, the same documentation, and the same delivery commitment.
— Andrejs Ludzeneks, Managing Director, Automoves
Every salvage car transport shipment follows the same documentation and inspection process that Automoves applies across its entire network. Vehicle condition is recorded in detail at both pickup and delivery, with photo documentation captured by drivers at each stage. Clients receive full visibility into the condition of their vehicle before and after the shipping process and can review inspection reports before signing the Bill of Lading.
Automoves handles salvage car transport for a wide range of clients, including private buyers purchasing at auction, hobbyist rebuilders, independent mechanics, body shops, and insurance companies. The company picks up from all major auction platforms across Canada, including IAA, Copart, Openlane, and Eblock, as well as insurance yards and collision facilities nationwide.
All vehicles shipped through the Automoves network are insured during transport, including salvage, non-running, and written off units. The company adheres to all Transport Canada motor carrier safety standards and confirms coverage details and any condition-specific considerations before booking.
With 97.5% of deliveries arriving on time and a national network for finished vehicle logistics, Automoves says its ability to handle inoperable vehicle shipping at scale and without disruption to its broader operations is what sets the company apart in the salvage car transport segment.
