We provide a hassle-free service

At 1800 Salvage, we understand how frustrating selling an unwanted vehicle can be. So, we came up with a solution that makes the whole process so easy you don’t even have to leave your couch.

Thanks to our desktop assessment system, we can provide a remote evaluation of your unwanted vehicle. We remove the need to queue at an assessment centre or spend cash on roadworthy certification, putting money and time back in your control.

Our expert car buying team will also make offers on your vehicle in its current condition. Instead of forking out on minor repairs in order to attract potential buyers, we’ll take it off your hands as-is. Using our network of salvage professionals such as car wreckers, auction houses and repairers, we can find value in any vehicle.

If you’re interested in selling your old car easily, look no further than 1800 Salvage. Get in touch with our friendly team today!

Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon

Why is it safer to sell my car through a licenced motor car dealer?

All licensed motor car dealers are regulated by Business Licensing Australia, ensuring your transactions, identification, and personal data are protected in compliance with all licensing rules. Be cautious when dealing with other automotive car-buying companies that aren't licensed, as they are often scams.

FAQ icon

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

1800 Salvage partners with a network of wholesalers, repairers, wreckers, and auction houses to sustain Australia's second-hand vehicle and parts market. We bridge the gap between reliable automotive businesses and the vehicles and parts they require, ensuring a seamless and efficient supply chain.

FAQ icon

Does 1800 Salvage buy auto parts too?

No, 1800 Salvage exclusively purchases whole vehicles. However, we can estimate any spare parts or scrap metal you have. Additionally, our friendly team can connect you with local car wreckers in the greater Brisbane area to help you dispose of spare parts in an eco-friendly way.

FAQ icon

My business has multiple scrap cars in its collection. Can you assist?

Yes, 1800 Salvage collaborates with numerous commercial clients to help clear out old stock and fleet vehicles. We can arrange the collection of multiple vehicles using our transport partners' large car-carrier trucks, ensuring efficient and streamlined service.

FAQ icon

My vehicle is in my garage. Can I give you the code so the tow truck can remove it?

Unfortunately, this can pose a problem. If our tow driver is seen entering your garage, it might appear that they are attempting to steal your automobile, leading to potential misunderstandings or concerns. To avoid any issues, we require your presence during the removal process.
