Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon

Do I need to hand in my registration?

Yes, we buy all vehicles unregistered and don’t require a registration transfer. Remove your plates before collection to avoid confusion. You will need to complete the cancellation of the registration form (F3517). Take this form and your number plates to your local Department of Transport and Main Roads for a refund on any remaining registration.

Does 1800 Salvage buy or sell auto parts?

No, we exclusively purchase whole vehicles. Our friendly professionals can also connect you with nearby automotive wreckers for spare parts disposal and scrap metal recycling. We also facilitate connections to local auto components businesses if you want to buy car parts.

FAQ icon

Will 1800 Salvage beat another offer I have?

If you can provide this offer in writing, we encourage you to share it with our cash-for-cars Chermside team. Our professionals will thoroughly assess it and do their best to surpass it. We are dedicated to making the selling process as seamless and rewarding as possible.

I’m just after free car removal. Can you help?

My bank does not support Osko. Is this a problem?

Not at all. We will manage and monitor payment times and book your car removal following this. Generally, the processing of basic direct transfers occurs on the next business day. This ensures you receive your well-deserved compensation in a timely manner, adding to our services' convenience and overall reliability.
