Frequently asked questions
We only purchase whole vehicles. However, our experienced scrap car buyers can give you a rough estimate of any car parts or scrap metal you have. We can also connect you with car wreckers, Canterbury area or near your location to dispose of your spare parts in an eco-friendly way.
Each instant quote remains valid for 14 Days. We appreciate what a big decision selling your car can be, so if you need more time, we can re-evaluate it later.
1800 Salvage can provide a same-day quote, usually within the hour. From there, we can complete the necessary paperwork and aim for our removal service to collect your car within 24 hours or on the next business day.
Our vast network of transport providers helps us access and buy vehicles of all types from anywhere across Australia. So whether you’re in Canterbury and its surrounding suburbs or interstate, we’re here to help.
As a licensed motor vehicle dealer, 1800 Salvage generally cannot purchase any vehicle still under finance. We can help you remove any encumbrance you have. If our purchase offer exceeds your amount owed and we get a valid finance company payout letter, we’ll handle contract payouts and transfer the remaining funds to you. If it is the same amount owing to remove encumbrance, we can pay your finance in exchange for your used car.
We follow the automotive market closely from wholesale market trends and auction results. We provide the best price possible in the current market and stay competitive to keep our customers happy.
