Does your cash-for-cars service cover auto parts?

Why is selling cars to a licenced motor car dealer safer?

Business licencing Australia regulates all licenced motor car dealers. Your transactions, identification and personal data are protected as we comply with all licensing rules. Be mindful of dealing with other automotive car-buying companies that aren’t licenced, as it could be a scam.
