Cash for Scrap Cars Sunshine Coast

Cash for scrap cars – without the hassle of selling privately

Trying to sell a scrap car privately can be hard work. You need to list it, answer messages, wait for people who may never show up, and often still organise a tow truck. A1 Wreckers offers another option for Sunshine Coast residents.

With our cash for scrap cars service, you simply share a few details, receive a quote and, if you’re happy, we arrange collection. There’s no cost to ask for a quote and no pressure to accept.

With A1 Wreckers, scrap car owners on the Sunshine Coast benefit from:

Free removal of scrap and end-of-life vehicles.
Payment arranged at the time of pick-up.
No advertising or listing costs to worry about.
A local team used to tight driveways and tricky access.

How our scrap car buying process works

The process is the same whether your car is rusty, damaged or has been sitting in the yard for years.

1. Tell us about your scrap car

Use the online form on https://www.a1wreckers.com.au/cash-for-cars-sunshinecoast/ or call our team with the make, model, year and condition.

2. Receive a tailored scrap car quote

We review the information and provide a cash offer that factors in the condition and recyclability of your vehicle. You’re free to accept or decline.

3. Book a convenient collection time

If the quote suits you, we arrange a time to collect the vehicle from your Sunshine Coast address, workplace or mechanic.

4. We pay you and take the scrap car away

On the day, we confirm the details, finalise payment, then load the vehicle onto our truck. Removal costs are already included in your quote.

What kinds of scrap cars do we buy on the Sunshine Coast?

Vehicles with severe rust or body damage.
Cars that have failed major mechanical repairs.
Accident-damaged or written-off vehicles.
Unregistered vehicles no longer worth renewing.
Old cars that have been sitting unused for a long time.
Partially stripped vehicles with missing components.
Utes, 4x4s, vans and small cars at end-of-life.

Not sure if your vehicle is too far gone?

It’s still worth asking. Scrap value depends on current metal and parts demand. Share a photo and basic details through our Sunshine Coast page:
