About this service

Overview

Car Removals provides unwanted car removal for owners who need a vehicle gone without a long private-sale process. The vehicle may be old, damaged, scrap, unregistered, non-running, broken, written off or simply no longer needed. Cars, vans, utes and 4WDs can be reviewed for quote and pickup options.

A useful quote request includes the make, model, year, variant, registration status, condition and pickup suburb. Explain whether the vehicle starts, drives or rolls, whether keys are available, and whether wheels, battery or major parts are missing. Mention accident damage, mechanical faults, rust, water damage, fire damage or long-term storage.

Service details

Pickup access is an important part of unwanted car removal. Tell Car Removals if the vehicle is in a driveway, garage, yard, workshop, factory yard, storage facility, apartment parking or on the street where legal and practical. Mention steep access, low clearance, locked gates, soft ground, missing keys, seized brakes, no wheels or blocked vehicles.

If the quote suits you, pickup can be arranged where practical across Melbourne suburbs, metro Melbourne and selected nearby regional Victoria. Before collection, remove belongings, toll tags and accessories you intend to keep. Be ready to confirm ownership or authority to sell or release the vehicle, and check any registration or plate requirements that apply.

Depending on condition, the vehicle may be assessed for resale, dismantling, fluids handling, parts recovery, metal recovery or responsible recycling. To request unwanted car removal, call 0406 895 973 or send the details online.

Unwanted vehicles often sit for months because owners are unsure what information is needed. Start with the basics: where the car is parked, whether it can roll, whether tyres hold air, whether keys are available and whether the vehicle is accessible to a tow truck. If the vehicle is in shared parking or on a tight property, include any access limits before arranging collection.

For vehicles on public streets, also check local parking, registration and access requirements before booking, because collection may need to be arranged from a legal and reachable location.

Unwanted does not always mean scrap. Some vehicles are hard to sell because they are unregistered, damaged, unreliable, non-running, too costly to repair or simply no longer needed, and each situation may be assessed differently.
