You need to decide before you need a tow truck.
Start with the guide that best matches your problem. Our first resources focus on the questions people routinely have to piece together: paperwork, repair economics, vehicle condition and difficult access.
Where a rule matters, we link to the government source. Where an outcome depends on facts we cannot know, we say so.

A Toronto Scrap-Car Price Index needs real completed-pickup records.
Until the business has enough approved, anonymized transaction data, publishing medians, trends or “average payouts” would be misleading. The data model should capture month, vehicle class, year, condition, completeness, access notes, broad area and final amount—without publishing addresses or personal details.
