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.

Why hail-damaged cars are worth more than they look
Hail damage is mostly skin deep. The roof, bonnet and boot can look terrible, but the engine, gearbox, interior and electronics usually come through untouched, and a car that still drives keeps most of its parts value. That is why a hail car often gets a better offer than a car with the same dents from a crash.
Paintless dent repair on a heavily hit car can run into thousands of dollars, and a cracked windscreen or sunroof adds to the bill. If the quote is close to what the car is worth, or you simply don't want to wait weeks for a repairer after a big storm, selling it as it is gets you paid this week instead.
We buy hail cars whether you claimed on insurance or not. If your insurer has written the car off and offered to let you keep it, or you never claimed at all, tell us what happened and we'll work out an offer from the photos.

Getting the best offer for a hail car
Photograph the roof in low light
Hail dents disappear in bright midday sun. Photos in the morning, the evening or under a carport show the real extent, which lets us make a firm offer instead of a cautious one.
Say whether the glass is cracked
A cracked windscreen or sunroof changes the offer more than dents do, and it decides whether the car can be driven safely to a pickup point. Tell us before we book the tow.
Hail write-offs in Queensland
If an insurer has written off a car for hail only, Queensland lets the registered owner keep driving it without a written-off vehicle inspection, provided the damage is cosmetic and the rego is current. We buy these cars as they are.
Don't let it sit
Cracked seals and broken glass let water in after the next storm, and that turns cosmetic damage into mould and electrical faults. Selling soon after the storm usually means a better price.
Hail car FAQ
Hail damaged car questions
Selling a car after a Brisbane hailstorm, with or without an insurance claim.
Do you buy hail-damaged cars that still drive?
Yes, and they are some of the best-paid damaged cars we buy. If the engine, gearbox and interior are fine, the car keeps most of its value even with a dented roof and bonnet.
Can I sell my car if insurance wrote it off for hail?
Usually, yes. If the insurer paid you out, the car belongs to them, so check first. If you kept the car or bought it back, you can sell it to us, and we'll explain the paperwork for a hail write-off.
Do I need a written-off vehicle inspection before selling?
No. You don't need one to sell the car to us. In Queensland, a hail-only write-off can stay on the road without that inspection if the damage is cosmetic, you were the registered operator before the storm and the rego is current.
Is it worth fixing hail damage instead?
On a newer car with light damage, often yes. On an older car with heavy dents or cracked glass, the repair can cost more than the car is worth to you. Get a repair quote and an offer from us, then compare.
Will you collect a hail car with a cracked windscreen?
Yes. We tow it, so it doesn't need to be driven. Let us know about broken glass so we bring what's needed to keep the car dry on the way.
Do you buy hail-damaged cars in bulk?
Yes. After a big storm we can make offers on several cars at once, including dealer, rental and fleet hail stock. Send us the list and photos.
