When the repair quote is too high

Before spending more on an older vehicle, compare the repair cost with its usefulness to you. We can assess a car with known mechanical faults, but an accurate description is essential. Mention overheating, transmission problems, engine noise and any parts already removed. You can then compare the offer with your other options without paying for repairs simply to make the vehicle presentable for an inspection.

Moving on an older work vehicle

When a ute, van or truck is no longer useful to your business, a collection booking can help you plan its removal around work. Include the body type, approximate size, fitted equipment and any damage in your enquiry. Empty tools, stock and personal property before the agreed pickup. If the vehicle belongs to a business or another owner, discuss the authority and documents needed before arranging the handover.

From your first enquiry to collection

  1. Describe the vehicle. Share the make, model, year, condition, photos and Altona pickup address. Mention starting, steering, wheels, keys and access separately.
  2. Review the offer. Ask about the amount, what it is based on, the included removal and how payment will be arranged. Confirm the description before accepting.
  3. Book the handover. Agree on a collection window and the documents or identification needed. Clear access and remove your belongings before the team arrives.
  4. Complete the sale. Finish the agreed paperwork and payment arrangements with the team. Keep your transaction record for your own files.

Payment is arranged by electronic transfer. Confirm the payment details and timing with our team before handover. The service name “cash for cars” describes a vehicle buying service; ask us about the process for your particular vehicle.

Questions about selling a car in Altona

Do you buy vans, utes and trucks as well as cars?

Yes. Enquiries are welcome for vans, utes, 4WDs and trucks. For commercial vehicles, include the body type, size, running condition and any fitted equipment so we can assess the right vehicle.

Is same-day pickup always available?

Ask us about the next available collection window when you call. Timing depends on the booking schedule, vehicle location and access. A requested time is only confirmed once the team agrees to it.

Can someone else meet the collection team?

Discuss this when booking. The person handing over the vehicle needs the appropriate authority, documents and access. Confirm the arrangement with us before the collection day.

What should I remove from the car?

Take out personal belongings, toll tags and any equipment you are keeping. Check the glovebox, console, boot and storage areas. Keep the agreed vehicle components in place and ask about any paperwork questions before handover.

What if I have lost the keys?

Tell us before booking. Missing keys can affect loading and access, even if the vehicle is complete. We will discuss the situation and the information needed rather than assume a standard pickup will work.
