FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here are a few common questions we usually come across:

How do I get a quote and what affects the price?

Instant bank transfer or cash (where appropriate), with a receipt at pickup. Vehicles are depolluted, reusable parts recovered, and metals recycled.

What paperwork/ID do I need? Do I need WoF or REGO?

Bring a valid photo ID. The registered person should be present or give written authority. A current WoF/Rego isn’t required to sell to a wrecker + We arrange towing for FREE.

What about registration and plates (including personalized)?

If the car won’t return to the road, you can cancel the REGO and hand in plates. You may transfer or keep personalised plates, handle that separately before pickup.

Can I sell if there’s finance owing (PPSR)?

Yes, any security interest must be settled. We’ll request a payout letter and (with your consent) clear the balance with the lender, then pay you any remainder.

Do you buy non-runners, damaged or incomplete vehicles (no keys/flat tyres/missing parts)?

Yes. Tell us upfront so we’ll bring the right equipment; it may affect price and scheduling.

How fast is pickup, and is removal free?

Typically same-day or next-day in Hamilton/Waikato and nearby regions. Removal is FREE. We confirm your earliest slot when you accept the offer.

How do you pay, and what happens after pickup?
