Sell your wrecked car for cash with 1800 Salvage
Wrecked vehicles can be complicated to get rid of. But if you’ve got one on your hands, then you know they’re even worse to keep around. Shattered glass, jagged edges and leaking fuel are only a few of the endless hazards a crumpled vehicle can pose to you, your staff or the public.
1800 Salvage can remove your wrecked cars within 24 hours. There is no limit to the level of damage we will accept, either. Give us a call, and feel the weight of your crumpled steel burden slide off your shoulders.
We buy cars from all sellers within Australia, including private owners, car dealers, panel beaters and insurance assessors. Simply give us an address and leave the towing to us.

Frequently asked questions
Absolutely. Our tow truck network can reach most regional areas within 24 hours.
In rare cases, mitigating factors may force us to take longer than expected. We will continually update you on our ETA so you know precisely when to expect us.
No. As licensed motor car traders, we cannot buy vehicles still under finance. However, we can still provide free storage for wrecked cars, so you won’t have to keep worrying about them.
Contact our team, and we will submit a salvage tender that will allow us to tow away your vehicle while the financial obligation remains with you.
The only can of damage we cannot accept is heavy flooding. We will buy cars and vehicles with moderate water damage, though.
Yes. 1800 Salvage will buy vehicles that have been unregistered and written off by your insurance company.
Before selling us your unregistered vehicle, we suggest removing and keeping the license plates. Return those to your local roads authority, and you’ll get a nice reimbursement.
