Scrap car removal

A car that isn't worth fixing still has value in its metal. Rust, missing parts, flat tyres or no keys: tell us about it and we'll still make you an offer.

If a working engine, gearbox, panels or lights are still on the car, those can lift the price above the metal. That parts price is on the car wreckers page. This page is the metal floor.

• Rusted out. Body rust, rusted floors or a rusty chassis.
• Written off. Insurance write-offs and cars with heavy crash damage.
• Doesn't run. Blown engine, dead gearbox, flat battery or no keys.
• Failed a roadworthy. When the repair quote is more than the car is worth.
• Sitting for years. In a backyard, garage, shed or paddock, with or without rego.
• Stripped or incomplete. Missing wheels, seats or parts is fine. Tell us what's there.

Tell us the make, model, year and what's wrong with it, and we'll give you a firm price, usually within the hour. Photos help, so text a few through if you can.

We bring a tilt tray and winch the car on, so it doesn't need to run, roll or have keys. Tell us about tight access, like a steep driveway or a car in the backyard, when you ask for a price.

• Metal. The weight of the car and what scrap metal is worth this week set the minimum we'll pay.
• Make and model. Popular models are worth more, because their parts are in demand.
• No towing fee. The tow is free and never comes off your price.

In Queensland you choose cash or a bank transfer, paid before the car leaves. In Tweed Heads we pay by bank transfer, because NSW doesn't allow cash for scrap vehicles.

Back at the Rocklea yard, fluids are drained and the shell goes to a metal recycler. Usable parts that are pulled and resold are covered on the car wreckers page.
