At 1800 Salvage, we see the value in all Volkswagen cars, vans, SUVs and trucks regardless of whether they’re roadworthy, accident-damaged or written-off.
As auto salvage specialists, we have a vast network of salvage partners who help us to repurpose all Volkswagen parts sustainably to breathe new life into similar vehicles.
Not every car can be repaired. And, not every car that can be repaired is worth the cost. You can’t very well have undrivable and unroadworthy vehicles taking up space in your garage, or your mind for that matter. But we can.
1800 Salvage specialises in cash for cars. As specialist salvage car buyers, we buy every type of car no matter the damage's severity. We’ll remove your car for free, usually within 24 hours, if you live in or around a major city. All you need to do is sign off on our competitive price offers and tell us where to pick your car up. You won’t even have to be there!
