Car wreckers

Parts reused. Metal recycled. Paid collection.

Wreckers who pay you

Usable parts give damaged cars value.

Full details

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.

Wrecker, private sale or trade-in?

The right buyer depends on the car's condition.

  • Private sale
  • Trade-in
  • Wrecker
Full details
  • 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.

Car wreckers FAQs

Do car wreckers pay more than scrap metal yards?

Often, when the car still has usable parts. A scrap metal yard pays for the weight of the metal. We wreck cars ourselves, so we can also pay for a good engine, gearbox, panels or lights.

Will you buy a written-off car?

Yes. We buy insurance write-offs and crash-damaged cars as they are. Tell us what's damaged when you ask for a price.

Will you take a car that's been sitting for years?

Yes. Flat tyres, no battery or no rego is fine. We winch it onto a tilt tray.

What should I take out of the car before you collect it?

Your personal belongings, any toll tag, and anything in the glovebox or boot. Once the car's gone, cancel the rego and let your insurer know.

Is towing free?

Yes. Pickup is free anywhere in our service areas, and we never take the cost of towing off your price.

Getting paid

Paid before your car leaves. Cash or bank transfer; bank transfer only in NSW.

What you'll need

  • Ownership papers, with no finance owing
  • Photo ID
