Everything You Need to Know About Selling Your Vehicle for Cash in SEQ

Got questions about selling your scrap, damaged, or unwanted car? Below are direct answers to the exact details our customers ask about—covering prices, towing, paperwork, and legal compliance.

We calculate offers using real market parameters: vehicle weight (scrap metal yield), make, model, year, and the condition of reusable parts like engines, gearboxes, and panels. We do not use automated price-dropping tools, so you get an accurate, fair valuation upfront over the phone.

Towing is completely free across South East Queensland, including Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Logan, and Toowoomba. The price we quote over the phone is the exact cash amount handed to you on arrival. We never deduct winching, travel, or administrative costs from your payout.

Payment is completed on the spot before our driver loads your vehicle onto the tilt-tray. You can choose between direct cash in hand or an instant electronic bank transfer, ensuring you are fully paid before the vehicle leaves your driveway.

Yes. You can legally sell an unregistered or non-drivable vehicle directly to a licensed buyer like us without getting a Safety Certificate (RWC). You do not need to spend money on mechanics, inspections, or registration renewals to complete the sale.

You only need to show a valid government-issued photo ID (such as a Queensland Driver’s Licence or Passport) and proof that you own the vehicle. Our driver brings all the required Queensland Transport transfer paperwork to complete the legal ownership transfer on the spot.

You remove your licence plates before our driver hauls the vehicle away. You can then hand the plates back to a Transport and Main Roads (TMR) customer service centre to cancel the registration and claim a partial refund on any remaining rego.

Yes. Our fleet includes specialized tilt-tray trucks equipped with long-reach recovery winches. We can safely extract non-running, non-rolling, or wheel-less vehicles from narrow driveways, backyards, carports, and soft ground without damaging your surrounding property.

Your vehicle is taken directly to a licensed vehicle recycling facility. All hazardous fluids (fuel, oil, coolant, battery acid) are safely drained and disposed of according to Queensland environmental regulations. Usable spare parts are salvaged, and the remaining metal shell is recycled.

We offer same-day vehicle removal across all SEQ regions. In most cases, our driver can arrive at your residential property, commercial job site, or repair shop within 2 to 4 hours of your initial call.

Yes. We regularly purchase light commercial trucks, vans, work utes, 4WDs, and entire business fleet write-offs. Because heavier vehicles contain greater metal mass and larger components, they qualify for premium cash offers. We also issue official business receipts for corporate asset write-offs.
