A direct car buyer and recycler evaluates your vehicle based on real-time scrap metal commodity rates, exact curb weight, and reusable OEM parts (like engine blocks, transmissions, and catalytic converters). Because recyclers dismantle and process the vehicle in their own yard, they bypass broker commissions and pay higher payouts up to $9,999.
No. Under Victorian law, you do not need an RWC or active registration to sell an old, damaged, or unroadworthy car to a licensed auto wrecker and recycler. You only need valid proof of identity and vehicle ownership.
Once collected, the vehicle undergoes depollution where hazardous fluids (engine oils, transmission fluids, coolants, and fuels) are drained and disposed of under EPA Victoria guidelines. Reusable mechanical components are cataloged, and the remaining metal chassis is crushed, shredded, and melted down for circular manufacturing.
Yes. Licensed car buyers and recyclers purchase non-running, written-off, and unregistered vehicles. Valuation is based on recyclable metal mass and intact salvage parts rather than roadworthiness, with free tilt-tray towing provided across Melbourne.
Under Victorian regulations enforced by Consumer Affairs Victoria, licensed car buyers and recyclers cannot pay in physical cash for scrap metal or end-of-life vehicles. Payment is issued securely via instant Electronic Funds Transfer (Osko / EFT) or non-transferable cheque upon vehicle collection.
