Better for the Environment
An old car left on the street or in the yard slowly leaks oil and coolant and rusts away. When you sell it to us, it is reused or recycled.
- Fluids handled safelyOil, fuel, coolant and battery acid are drained and disposed of by licensed facilities, never washed into soil or stormwater drains.
- Parts reused, metal recycledWorking parts go back into service as used spares, and the steel and aluminium are recycled into new products instead of going to landfill.
- Done by the rulesEvery vehicle is handled under state waste and environmental laws, with the paperwork done properly.
How wrecking works
What a car wrecker actually does
A wrecker buys vehicles that are no longer worth repairing and takes them apart. Engines, gearboxes, panels, lights, wheels and interior parts that still work are recovered for reuse, and the stripped body goes to metal recycling.
That's why a car with a dead engine or a crumpled front can still be worth money to us: its value lies in its parts and metal, not in whether it can pass a roadworthy. The offer depends on the make and model, what's still usable, and how complete the vehicle is.
- We pay for wrecks, not just take them
- Usable parts recovered, the rest recycled
- Free collection after you accept
- Cars, utes, 4WDs and vans of any age

Before we wreck your car
Completeness matters
A car with its engine, gearbox and panels still fitted is usually worth more to a wrecker. If parts have been sold off, list what's gone so the offer is accurate.
Popular models hold value
Parts for common models are always in demand, so a wrecked Hilux, Corolla, Commodore or Ranger can attract a stronger offer than you might expect.
Remove plates, tags and personal items
Take out toll tags, garage remotes, documents and anything in the boot. If the car is registered, we explain how to deal with the plates and rego.
Nothing ends up dumped
Working parts go back into use, and the remaining shell is sold for metal recycling instead of being left to rust in a backyard or paddock.
Wrecking FAQ
Car wrecking questions
Answers about selling a vehicle to a wrecker in Brisbane and South East Queensland.
What's the difference between a wrecker and scrap car removal?
A wrecker strips a vehicle for reusable parts before the body is recycled, so working components add to the offer. Scrap removal is about the vehicle's metal value at the end of its life. We do both, and the offer reflects whichever value is higher for your car.
Will you wreck a car that still runs?
Yes. Some owners would rather sell a running car for wrecking than spend money on repairs or a roadworthy. Running cars often attract better offers because more parts are usable.
Do you pay for wrecked cars?
Yes. You get an offer for the vehicle, and towing is included once you accept. The amount depends on the make, model, parts and completeness.
Can you take a car with a seized engine?
Yes. Seized engines are common on the cars we buy. Other parts such as the gearbox, panels, lights and wheels still carry value.
Do you sell used parts as well?
This page is about selling your car to us. If you're after a particular part, call us and ask; availability depends on what we have at the time.
Which areas do you collect wrecks from?
We collect across Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay and the Redlands, plus the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Send your suburb and we'll confirm.
