About This Service
Old cars have a way of lingering. Maybe it was your first car that you can't quite bring yourself to scrap, or a vehicle that served you well for decades before something finally gave out. Whatever the reason, that old car sitting in your garage, carport, or on your property is taking up valuable space and losing value every day as parts deteriorate and metal corrodes. Our old car removal service gives you a way to finally let go — while putting cash in your pocket.
We specialise in purchasing older vehicles, and we understand what makes them valuable. A 1970s Holden Torana isn't just scrap metal — it's a sought-after classic with parts that are in high demand among collectors and restorers. A 1990s Toyota Corolla might be past its prime as a daily driver, but its engine and drivetrain components are still prized for their reliability. We assess each old vehicle on its individual merits, factoring in model rarity, parts demand, and collector interest alongside the baseline scrap value.
Our service covers everything from 1960s classics to vehicles from the early 2000s that are now considered old by modern standards. Perth's car culture means there's strong demand for parts from Australian-built Holdens and Fords, as well as Japanese imports from the 1980s and 1990s. If you have an old car taking up space, there's a good chance it's worth more than you expect — especially if it's relatively complete with intact parts.
We handle the entire removal process, from initial quote to final collection. Our team can access vehicles stored in garages, sheds, under carports, and in tight spaces that larger tow trucks can't reach. We carry portable recovery equipment for vehicles that haven't been started in years — dead batteries, flat tyres, and seized engines don't stop us. Once we've collected your old car, we provide all the necessary paperwork for DOT ownership transfer, ensuring you're fully protected.

Important Information
Older vehicles may contain materials that require special handling under WA environmental regulations. Vehicles manufactured before 2000 may have asbestos-containing components such as brake pads, clutch plates, and gaskets. Our trained operators identify and safely handle these materials during the depollution process, ensuring compliant disposal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy classic or vintage cars?
Yes, we buy classic cars including Holden Toranas, Ford Falcons, and vintage Japanese imports. Classic vehicles often have higher parts value and collector interest, which means better prices for you.
How do you value old cars?
We assess old cars based on: model rarity, condition of key components (engine, transmission, body), availability of replacement parts, and current collector demand. We provide transparent valuations.
What if my old car hasn't been started in years?
No problem. We regularly collect vehicles that have been stationary for years. Dead batteries, flat tyres, seized engines — none of this affects our ability to collect and pay for your vehicle.
Can I get more for a complete old car?
Yes. Complete vehicles with intact parts (engine, transmission, interior, panels) are worth significantly more than partially stripped ones. Keep your old car complete for the best price.
Are 1980s and 1990s cars worth anything?
Yes. While they're not yet considered classics in the traditional sense, many 1980s and 1990s vehicles have strong parts demand. Japanese imports from this era are particularly popular for engine swaps and restoration projects. Contact us to find out what your specific model is worth.
Do you buy cars that have been off the road for decades?
Absolutely. We've collected vehicles that have been sitting in sheds and backyards for 20+ years. Even after decades of storage, the metal, engine components, and certain parts retain significant recycling and resale value.
What's the difference between selling an old car to you versus a wrecker?
Traditional wreckers typically strip vehicles for parts and pay you based on what they expect to recover from individual components. We assess the vehicle as a whole — including parts demand, collector interest, and scrap value — and provide a single offer that reflects the total worth. This often results in higher payouts than part-by-part wrecking.
Can I donate an old car for a tax deduction?
While we're a commercial operation and not a registered charity, some of our partner organisations accept vehicle donations. Contact us and we can point you in the right direction if you'd prefer to donate your old vehicle.
