How We Value Your Vehicle
Every scrap car quote is based on real factors, including:
- Weight and grade of scrap metal
- Value of any reusable parts and components
- Make, model, year and overall condition
- Current market demand for parts
- Cost of environmentally safe disposal
- Location and ease of access for pickup
- Age and rarity of specific parts
- Presence of catalytic converters and other valuable components
Even heavily damaged scrap cars can bring a solid payout once parts and metal value are factored in, with select vehicles reaching up to $9,999.
Eco Friendly Car Disposal
Disposing of scrap cars responsibly matters to us. All fluids are drained and disposed of safely, batteries and tyres go to recycling, and usable parts are salvaged by our dismantler partners before the remaining metal is processed. Choosing proper scrap car removal over leaving a wreck to decay keeps harmful substances out of the soil and local waterways. Choosing a licensed scrap buyer also protects you from liability once the vehicle leaves your hands, giving you genuine peace of mind.
Documents You Need
Even a scrap car needs the right paperwork to be sold legally, and we make sure that part of the process stays simple.
Paperwork is simple. Please have these ready on pickup day:
- Photo ID: A current NSW driver licence or another valid government photo ID.
- Proof of ownership: Registration papers or other evidence that the vehicle is legally yours.
- Keys and records: Every key you have, plus service records if available.
We prepare the bill of sale on the spot. Lost your papers? Contact us and we will guide you through getting replacements. After the sale, lodge a notice of disposal with Service NSW to protect yourself from future fines or tolls linked to the vehicle.
