Q. What questions will you ask me about my car?

We may ask you some questions about your car's condition such as:

  • What's the approximate kms?
  • Do you have the car keys?
  • Does it start and drive?

If you're unable to provide answers to any of these questions, we may need to make assumptions about your car's condition. Both your responses and our assumptions will be displayed alongside your quote. These questions are supplementary to the minimum requirements.

Q. Can I get more money for my Car?

The amount you can receive depends on your car's condition. If your car is in better condition, you could get a higher offer. The quote provided is an instant estimate. However, you can upload photos of your car, and we'll work on getting you a better price.
Additionally, if you have a quote from another scrap car company, we will offer you a higher price.

Q. What type of cars do you buy?

A.J Wrecker buys cars and vans of all ages and conditions. Whether your vehicle is running or not, roadworthy with plenty of miles left, has high mileage, or is beyond repair and ready for scrap, our buyers will compete to offer you the best price!

Q. What happens when I scrap my Car?

When your scrap car is collected or you drop it off at a local branch, please ensure you have the following items ready:

  • Your reference number or a copy of your quote (either printed or on your mobile);
  • Your identification;
  • Your car keys, if available;
  • Any documents such as the registration certificate, service history, and manuals, if you have them;
  • Lastly, remember to remove any personal belongings and rubbish from the vehicle.

On the day of collection, we will:

  • Assist with the necessary paperwork;
  • Arrange for the payment.

Q. What is my reference number?

Your reference number uses the format 'PP-000-0000'. We'll give this to you when you get a quote and it will be shown on any emails we send to you. Your reference number makes it easier for us to pull up your details, and guarantees the price we've quoted.

Q. How will I be paid?

You'll typically be paid via cash or EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) into your bank account. When you receive your quote, please let us know your payment preference, and we'll do our best to accommodate it. However, in New South Wales, cash payments are restricted. If you sell your car as scrap in New South Wales, payment will be made via EFT transfer. This restriction on cash payments is due to the Scrap Metal Industry Bill 2016 in NSW. For the rest of Australia, cash payments are still an option.

Q. What if i don't have the registration for my Car?

A. Don't worry if your car is unregistered or if its registration has been cancelled - you can still sell your scrap car to us.
