Cash For Wrecked Cars Brisbane
When a car is wrecked, it is not going back on the road, but it is far from worthless. Cash Your Car buys wrecked cars across Brisbane for cash, no matter how badly they are smashed up or what caused it. We tow the wreck away free and pay you on the spot for the parts and metal that are still worth money.
Sell a wrecked car exactly as it is
The simple version: you do not touch it. A wrecked car is bought as-is, in whatever state the damage left it. You do not straighten it, strip it, or move it. Tell us the make, model and rough condition, we make a firm offer, and if it suits you we collect the wreck and pay you.

What we mean by a wrecked car
A wrecked car is one that has been physically destroyed beyond sensible repair, whatever the cause:
- Major collision or rollover damage
- Fire-damaged cars
- Cars crushed by a fallen tree or structure
- Storm and flood-wrecked cars
- Cars so far gone that repair was never on the table
If an insurer has formally written the car off, that is a slightly different situation on paper, and our cash for written-off cars page covers the register and disclosure side. Either way, we buy it.
A wreck is worth more than it looks
It is easy to look at a destroyed car and assume it is only good for the tip. In reality, a wreck usually has plenty of value left. Panels on the undamaged side, glass, lights, wheels, the interior, and much of the drivetrain can survive even a heavy smash. Those parts are in demand from people repairing the same model. On top of that, the metal in the shell has scrap value. We work out the salvage and the scrap together, and that becomes your offer.
Why sell your wreck to Cash Your Car
- We take any wreck. Rolled, burnt, crushed or smashed, no wreck is too far gone for us to quote.
- Free removal, and we bring the gear. A wreck will not roll or steer, so we arrive with the equipment to load it, anywhere in Brisbane, at no cost.
- Cash on the spot. You are paid when we take the wreck away.
- Fast pickup. Often the same day, so the wreck is not sitting in your yard as a reminder.
- Proper salvage and recycling. Good parts are recovered for reuse, fluids are handled correctly, and the metal is recycled.
How we value a wrecked car
We look at which parts came through the wreck intact and are still worth money, then add the scrap value of the metal. A late-model wreck of a common car tends to be worth more, because its parts are in demand and match many other cars on the road. An older or less common wreck is worth less on parts but still carries scrap value. We price the whole wreck, not just write it off as scrap.
How it works
- Describe the wreck. Make, model, year, what happened, and where it is.
- Get your offer. A firm cash figure for salvage and scrap.
- We collect and pay. Free removal across Brisbane, cash on the spot.
Paperwork for selling a wreck
You will need proof you own the car and photo ID. In Queensland the number plates belong to you, not the car, so take them off before the wreck is towed. If it is still registered, we will point you to cancelling the rego and claiming any refund. We handle our side of the paperwork with you at pickup.
Frequently asked questions
Do you buy cars that are completely wrecked?
Yes. Rolled, burnt, crushed and heavily smashed cars are exactly what we buy. The worse the wreck, the more it tends to be about parts and scrap value.
Is my wrecked car worth anything?
Yes. Surviving parts and the scrap metal both carry value, even on a badly destroyed car. We pay you for both.
Do you remove wrecks for free?
Yes. Free removal across Brisbane, and we bring the equipment to load a car that cannot roll or steer.
What is the difference between a wrecked car and a written-off car?
Wrecked describes the physical state of the car. Written-off is a formal insurance classification recorded on the register. We buy both. See our written-off cars page for the register and disclosure detail.
Do I need a roadworthy certificate?
No. A safety certificate is not required to sell a wrecked car.
Should I take the number plates off?
Yes. In Queensland plates belong to the registered owner, so remove them before the wreck leaves and return or transfer them.
Do you buy wrecks of any make?
Yes. Every make and model is accepted, however badly damaged.
How fast can you collect it?
Often the same day, depending on your location and access.
