Car wreckers

Because we wreck cars ourselves, we can see value other buyers miss. A working engine, gearbox, panels, lights or interior all get pulled and reused, so we can often pay more for a damaged car than a dealer or private buyer would.

• Accident damage. Crashed cars and insurance write-offs.
• Mechanical failure. Blown engines, dead gearboxes and cars that won't start.
• Flood and hail damage. Bought as they are. Tell us how bad the damage is.
• Old and high-kilometre cars. Family cars and utes at the end of the road.
• Utes, 4WDs and vans. Work vehicles too, one or several. See cash for trucks for bigger vehicles.

• Private sale. Usually gets the most for a clean car that runs well, but it means ads, calls and test drives.
• Trade-in. Quick if you're buying another car, but dealers offer little for damaged or old cars.
• Wrecker. The best fit for damaged, non-running or end-of-life cars. We pay for the parts and metal and tow it away free.

Fluids are drained and disposed of safely, usable parts are cleaned, tested and resold, and the shell goes to a metal recycler. The scrap car removal page is the one that follows the shell.

Once the car is gone, cancel the registration and your insurance. The owner's steps, including the Queensland and NSW cancel links, are on the car disposal page.

• Get a price. Tell us the make, model, year and what's wrong with it. Photos help. A firm price is usually within the hour.
• Book a pickup. Monday to Saturday, usually within a day or two, at your home, work, a mechanic's or the roadside.
• Get paid. Cash or bank transfer before the car leaves. In NSW it's bank transfer only.

Our wrecking yard is in Rocklea, so you deal with the people who actually collect and wreck the car. We buy cars across Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and Tweed Heads, with free towing everywhere we go.
