Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon

Are you a car dealer?

Yes, we are a licenced car dealer. However, we also provide purchase offers on anything with a motor! So whether you’ve got used Mazda trucks, wrecked motorbikes or recreational vehicles, we’re here to help.

FAQ icon

Do you buy auto parts?

We only buy whole vehicles. However, we’ll give you a rough estimate of any car parts you have. We can also connect you with nearby car wreckers to sustainably dispose of your old car parts.

FAQ icon

What does 1800 Salvage do to stay environmentally conscious?

All cars recycled through the network of 1800 Salvage are de-polluted. Our service also has major environmental benefits as vehicles sitting in driveways and garages 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

Why is selling my car through a licenced motor car dealer safer?

All of your transactions, identification, and personal data are protected as we comply with all licensing rules dictated by the Business Licencing Authority. This isn’t true when dealing with car wreckers or scrap metal buyers. Be careful dealing with other automotive car-buying companies that aren’t licenced, as it is often a scam.

FAQ icon

Does my old vehicle need a roadworthy certificate for you to buy it?

We buy cars with or without roadworthy certificates. This saves you time and money compared to selling your vehicle privately - which does require an up-to-date roadworthy certificate.

FAQ icon

My car has many modifications that I have spent money on. Will this increase my quote?

Yes, please provide us with all receipts from upgrades you have done to the vehicle to verify, and we will consider these in the quoting process.
