Request a Melbourne quote for a broken or non-running car with engine, transmission, electrical or other mechanical faults. Include diagnosis, mobility and pickup access details.
About this service
A vehicle can become uneconomical to keep without being involved in a crash. Engine failure, transmission problems, serious electrical faults, overheating or repeated mechanical repairs can leave a car parked while the cost of fixing it continues to rise. Car Removals helps Melbourne owners request quotes for those broken and non-running vehicles.
Include the make, model, year, registration status and pickup suburb. If a mechanic has diagnosed the fault, share that information. Also explain whether the car starts, rolls or steers, whether the keys are available and whether the battery, wheels or other major components are missing.
A car that will not start may still roll and steer, while another vehicle may have seized brakes, locked steering, flat tyres or no wheels. Those differences matter when pickup is planned. Mention low garages, steep driveways, workshop release procedures, blocked access or other practical constraints before collection is discussed.
If the vehicle has collision, hail, structural, fire, flood or significant body damage, see sell a damaged car in Melbourne instead.
The decision to repair or sell a broken vehicle depends on the car, the fault, likely repair cost and how you intend to use it. There is no single answer for every vehicle. If you are still deciding what to do with an older non-runner, read what to do with an old car that does not run.
If selling is the practical option, a clear quote request helps avoid assumptions about the vehicle. Include known faults, recent diagnosis, warning lights, missing parts and any access issues.
Send the vehicle details and pickup information through the quote form or contact Car Removals on 0406 895 973. Before collection, remove personal belongings and toll tags and make sure the person releasing the vehicle has the appropriate authority and access.
