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.
Repair or sell?
When selling a damaged car makes more sense
After a crash, a hailstorm or a flood, the repair quote can be close to, or more than, what the car was worth. If insurance doesn't cover it, or you'd simply rather move on, selling the damaged car is often the cleaner option.
We look at what's still good: the engine, the gearbox, undamaged panels, the interior and the model's parts demand. That's why a car with serious damage on one side can still attract a fair offer.

Getting an accurate damaged-car offer
Photos of every side
Damage is hard to judge from a description. Photos of all four sides, the interior and the engine bay help us give a firm offer instead of a range.
Hail damage
Hail can leave a mechanically perfect car with dozens of dents and cracked glass. These cars usually still drive, so they often get better offers than crash-damaged ones.
Flood and fire
Water and fire can damage wiring, electronics and interiors that look fine at first glance. Tell us what happened and when, so we assess it properly.
Written-off vehicles
In Queensland, a statutory write-off can't be registered again, while a repairable write-off can be after inspection. We buy both and explain the paperwork.
Damaged car FAQ
Damaged car questions
Selling a car after an accident, a storm, a flood or a fire.
Do you buy cars that have been written off?
Yes. We consider both repairable and statutory write-offs. Let us know the write-off type when you request an offer, as it affects what can be done with the car.
Can you collect from a tow yard or smash repairer?
Yes. Many damaged cars are held at a towing yard or repairer after an accident. Settle any storage or assessment fees with them first, then tell us where the car is.
Is a hail-damaged car worth selling?
Often, yes. Hail damage is mostly cosmetic, so the car usually still runs and its mechanical parts keep their value. Send photos showing the worst of the dents and any cracked glass.
What if the airbags have gone off?
Deployed airbags are common on the damaged cars we buy. They reduce the repair value but don't stop us making an offer.
Should I claim insurance before selling?
Check with your insurer first. If they pay out the car, it usually becomes theirs. If you're not claiming, or the car isn't insured, you can sell it to us directly.
How quickly can you take a damaged car away?
Once the offer is accepted and we've confirmed where the car is and how to access it, same-day pickup is often possible.
