Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about selling your car to Car Removal Auckland.
How much will you pay for my car?
We pay top cash for any vehicle anywhere in Auckland — from $300 for scrap up to $12,000+ for premium late-model utes, 4WDs and European vehicles. Call 0800 705 243 with your make, model, year and condition for a firm offer in 2 minutes.
Do you cover all Auckland suburbs?
Yes, every single Auckland suburb across North Shore, Central, East, West, South and the Hibiscus Coast — 109+ suburbs in total. See our full suburb directory.
Is car removal really free?
Yes — completely free. No tow fees, no admin fees, no hidden charges anywhere in Auckland. The quote on the phone is exactly the cash in your hand.
How fast can you pick up?
Same-day if you call before midday. Most Auckland pickups happen within 2–4 hours of your call. After-midday calls typically pickup next morning.
Do you buy cars without WoF or rego?
Yes — unregistered, expired-WoF, written-off, unroadworthy vehicles all welcome. NZTA paperwork handled on the spot.
Do you buy damaged or written-off cars?
Yes. Accident damaged, flood damaged, fire damaged, statutory write-offs — all bought. Even severely damaged cars have parts and scrap-metal value.
What makes you different from other Auckland wreckers?
Top cash (we'll match/beat any genuine written offer), genuine same-day pickup, no fees ever, NZTA paperwork on the spot, eco-friendly recycling, and we're local Auckland operators — not a national franchise.
Do I need to be there for pickup?
Someone over 18 with photo ID needs to be present to sign the NZTA paperwork and receive payment. Could be you, a partner, a flatmate, or a representative with written authority.
How do I get paid?
Cash on the spot at pickup, or bank transfer initiated before our truck leaves your property. Your choice.
Do you buy commercial vehicles?
Yes — utes, vans, trucks (Hino, Isuzu, UD, Mitsubishi), buses, trailers. See our truck wreckers service.
What about motorcycles?
Yes, we buy motorcycles too. Call with details for a quote.
Can I get a quote without committing?
Absolutely. All quotes are free with no obligation. We give you the offer, you decide whether to accept. No pressure, no follow-up calls if you say no.
Will you pay more if I deliver the car?
No — we pay the same price whether we collect or you deliver. Free pickup is part of the service, not a fee taken from your offer.
Do you buy fleet vehicles or multiple cars?
Yes. Call us with details — we offer bulk-pickup discounts on the service side (i.e. we pay slightly more per vehicle on multi-car deals).
What if my car is in a garage or hard to access?
We've collected from every kind of Auckland access situation — locked garages, narrow lanes, blocked-in driveways. Free service regardless of access difficulty.
Can you remove a car from a body corporate / shared driveway?
Yes, but we recommend giving 24 hours' notice so neighbours/body corp know we're coming. Same free service.
Do you offer GST receipts?
We can provide a basic receipt for the transaction. Talk to our team if you need a specific invoice format for your accounting.
What payment proof can you provide?
Bank transfer receipt, cash receipt with our company stamp, or NZTA notice of disposal copy. Whatever you need.
