+1 778-955-0309Cloverdale is the historic centre of Surrey, founded as a farm community in 1870, and its main street along 176 Street still looks the part: the Museum of Surrey, the Surrey Archives, and the Cloverdale Fairgrounds where the rodeo has run since 1945. The town centre reaches from 160 Street east to Langley and from 48 Avenue north to the 76–84 Avenue line, and the City calls it Surrey's third-largest community. What makes it distinct for us is Clayton Heights, which the City notes has gone through significant growth into newer residential areas — and it is the most frequent pickup address in V3S. Clayton's homes are close-set, with rear lanes and detached garages; the rest of Cloverdale is older single-family streets, KPU's trades campus, and farmland running out to the Langley line. Three SkyTrain stations are planned for Cloverdale, which will change the neighbourhood again.

What Cloverdale and Clayton cars fetch
V3S is one of Surrey's busiest postal areas for scrap cars. In the last 90 days it produced 14 quotes with top offers from $255 to $3,240 — a wide spread — and a median of $1,195. Toyota was the most-quoted make, and the average model year on these quotes was 2012. The high end comes from farm and acreage properties, which retire heavy pickups and full-size SUVs; the low end from compact commuters in Clayton's townhouse complexes.
A complete late-model truck from an acreage east of 184 Street is a top-of-range car. A ten-year-old hatchback that has been in a Clayton lane garage with a flat battery since the family bought an EV is a lower-half car, though still a sure sale.
Pickup in a Clayton laneway versus a Cloverdale farm driveway
Clayton's newer streets are built around rear lanes: the garage faces the lane, the car in front of it is often the one being scrapped, and the lane is shared with a dozen neighbours. We load from the lane when it is wide enough for the truck to get square to the car and there are no overhead obstacles; otherwise the car is rolled to the street. Because the houses are close together, the driver will avoid blocking the lane for longer than the load takes — moving the car to the mouth of the lane beforehand helps. Townhouse complexes off Fraser Highway usually ask that we collect from visitor parking.
The historic core around 176 Street and the streets near the Fairgrounds are conventional single-family lots and short driveways; pickup there is routine, and the Fairgrounds, the Museum of Surrey and Cloverdale Recreation Centre are the reference points drivers use. On rodeo and fair weekends, 176 Street and the streets around the Fairgrounds are closed or congested — pick another day.
East and south of the town centre, Cloverdale is farmland: long gravel driveways off 184, 188 and 192 Street, gates, and vehicles parked behind barns or in fields. Before the truck rolls the driver wants three things: how wide the gate is, whether there is solid ground to park beside the vehicle, and whether the tires have sunk into the field. One photo of the approach usually settles all of it. A vehicle left in the open for years can also end up as a bylaw file: under Surrey's Unsightly Premises Bylaw (No. 16393) a wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicle may not be kept on a property unless that use is permitted, and a missed clean-up deadline lets the City do the work and bill the owner through property taxes. There is no published fine to quote, so ask the City about your notice — and have the car collected before the date on it.
Paperwork at a Cloverdale pickup
The ICBC registration (APV250) must be in your name. At the door the driver fills in the Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T) with you, keeps the signed lower part of the registration with the vehicle, and leaves the plates with you; the insurance is then cancelled or moved to your next car at an Autoplan broker — several sit along 176 Street and in the Clayton plazas on Fraser Highway. A farm-plated truck goes through exactly the same forms.
Pickup notes for Cloverdale & Clayton
Clayton homes are built around shared rear lanes: we load from the lane when the truck can get square to the car with no low wires, otherwise the car is rolled to the street — rolling it to the mouth of the lane beforehand keeps the lane clear for neighbours. Farm driveways off 184, 188 and 192 Street need gate width, firm ground and a note on whether the vehicle has sunk in. Avoid rodeo and fair weekends around 176 Street.
Sub-areas we pick up from: the historic 176 St town centre, Clayton Heights (laneway homes and townhouses off Fraser Hwy), the Fairgrounds streets, the farmland off 184–192 St toward Langley.
Handy reference points for drivers: Cloverdale Fairgrounds, Museum of Surrey, Cloverdale Recreation Centre, Clayton Community Centre, KPU Tech (trades campus), Hazelgrove Park.

Frequently Asked Questions
Over the last 90 days, 14 quotes in V3S ran $400–$2,300, with a median top offer of $1,195 and a wide spread. Heavy pickups and SUVs from acreages sit at the top; compact commuters from Clayton townhouse complexes sit at the bottom.
Yes, when the lane is wide enough for the truck to get square to the car and there are no low wires or overhangs. Otherwise the car is rolled out to the street. Rolling it to the mouth of the lane beforehand keeps the shared lane clear and makes the load quick.
Yes — the driveways off 184, 188 and 192 Street are regular stops. Tell us the gate width, whether the truck can park on firm ground beside the vehicle, and whether it has sunk in; a photo of the approach is the fastest way to answer all three.
Better to book another day. On rodeo and fair weekends 176 Street and the streets around the Fairgrounds are closed or heavily congested, and a tow truck cannot get square to a driveway in that traffic. The rest of the year the Fairgrounds are a handy landmark for the driver.
