Salvage vehicle for sale

Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon

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

Of course! Thanks to our nationwide transport partners, we can help remove all unwanted cars taking up your valuable space.

FAQ icon

What do you do with my scrap car once I sell it to you?

1800 Salvage works with a network of car wreckers, wholesalers, repairers, and auction houses to keep the second-hand vehicle and parts market moving in Australia. We connect trusted automotive businesses within Australia to the vehicle parts they need.

FAQ icon

How does 1800 Salvage provide the best price for my vehicle?

We follow the automotive market very closely from wholesale market trends and auction results. We provide the most competitive price possible in the current market and stay accountable to keep our customers happy.

FAQ icon

What does 1800 Salvage do to stay environmentally conscious?

Our service employs environmentally responsible practices, as vehicles sitting in driveways and garages that are not being used emit large amounts of pollution into the air. We recycle part of these vehicles through a network of partners Australia-wide. Using second-hand parts is also extremely environmentally positive, as it takes a lot of oil and plastics to create brand-new parts for motor vehicles.

FAQ icon

I have multiple vehicles I want to sell. Can you quote them all?

Most definitely! To ensure a smooth and easy process, call our team. We can review each vehicle you have for sale and get you the best price possible.

FAQ icon

Can you pick up my vehicle today?

We can offer same-day removal of your car in certain situations. This depends on when we finalise the contract, your vehicle's location, and the availability of our tow truck providers. Let us know as soon as possible if our same-day service is required. We will always do our best to accommodate you.
