Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I get for my scrap car?
It depends on the make, model, year, weight, and condition of your vehicle, as well as current New Zealand scrap metal prices. We pay between $200 and $15,000. Even completely written-off or non-running vehicles receive competitive cash offers. Enter your rego number for a free, accurate quote specific to your vehicle.
Do you accept cars without a WOF or registration?
Absolutely. Since your vehicle is being scrapped rather than resold for road use, it does not require a current Warrant of Fitness or registration. We buy vehicles in any condition — running or not, registered or unregistered, damaged, flooded, or written off.
Is car removal really free?
Yes, 100 percent free. There are no towing fees, no collection charges, and no hidden costs whatsoever. We come to your address, load the vehicle, and hand you the agreed cash payment — completely at no cost to you.
How quickly can you pick up my car?
In most cases we offer same-day pickup. We operate more than 20 trucks across New Zealand seven days a week. Call us in the morning and your car could be collected before the end of the day.
Do I need to notify NZTA when scrapping my car?
Yes — you are legally required to notify NZTA to remove the vehicle from your name. Our team handles the MR15 disposal form process for you at no additional cost, making the legal side completely stress-free.
Can you buy a car that is still under finance?
Unfortunately not. The outstanding finance must be fully settled before we can purchase the vehicle. Once the loan is cleared, contact us and we will arrange same-day pickup promptly.
