When a vehicle has been damaged by an accident, it is often a stressful time to deal with. After an accident, it can be a stressful time to deal with, especially when you are stuck with a damaged car. A car accident is a very stressful experience. After the dust has settled and everyone is safe, you are left with a wrecked vehicle and one that cannot be driven. It’s an instant hindrance in your life. It’s either sitting outside your house and causing you to receive complaints or it’s in an expensive holding yard where they charge you storage fees every day until you get rid of it, you need a quick escape. This is where we can help you.
We at Best Car Removals Adelaide don’t believe a car accident should put you in financial trouble in the long term. We purchase crash damaged vehicles, work trucks with crumpled and rolled 4WDs and collision-damaged cars all as is.
We Collect Directly from Smash Repair Yards, Tow Compounds, and Crash Sites
One of the most frustrating aspects of an accident car is where he goes after the accident. Typically in major accidents, the emergency services or roadside teams remove the debris to a commercial storage facility. These yards have restrictive gate rules and deal with managers that can be a huge headache to deal with. We have a well-experienced local team, who face this situation on a daily basis. If the red tape has already been gone through, and the car has been determined to be a “total loss” by the repair shop that inspected it, don’t let the car languish in the parking lot. We will speak to the shop manager and simply take it right out of their busy service bay.
- Towing Compounds and Police Holding Yards: Commercial storage rates are so high when you are waiting on your insurance company, they don’t add up over time. We have priority collection routes to get your car off your hands in no time and put the hidden daily charges on ice!
- Your Front Driveway or Lawn: If the tow trucks left the smash wreckage at your home, there’s a good chance the fluids are leaking or that it’s clogging your parking spot. We have hydraulic winches with enough power to safely attach it and roll it off so you don’t get any scratches.
We Take Care of the Service SA Paperwork and Written-Off Register Rules
When the car is totaled, it can be overwhelming to deal with the legal aspects of the service SA paperwork and written off register. Across SA, vehicles with significant damage exceeding 40% will need to be properly reported to Service SA and entered on the Written-Off Vehicles Register (WOVR). It’s not something you want to deal with while settling insurance claims.
Our driver will come on site with all the papers of bills of sale and legal transfer. We guide you through the signatures and help you to prepare and submit the disposal notice properly. This takes your name completely off the car so that you aren’t responsible for any road issues, fines from traffic cameras, or registration issues in the future.
Safety First: How We Handle Dangerous Airbags and Fluid Spills
We will even take care to remove your physical license plates and give them back to you. These plates can be cancelled and a prorated cash refund may be obtained for any remaining months of the policy when taken to a Service SA branch.
Don’t forget the dirty airbags and spills of fluids are hazards. It is dangerous to push or pull the car or use an amateur collector; crushing body panels together and breaking mechanical components open.
The risks of a post-crash environment are managed professionally:
- Live, Un-deployed Airbags: If all of your airbags didn’t deploy during the crash, the remaining airbags have volatile pyrotechnic charges which can explode if handled incorrectly. Our crew is trained on the safe isolation and neutralisation of these units.
- Sharp metal and stressed components: Broken metal arms and broken safety glass can result in a lot of painful injuries. We use modern tilt-tray trucks with mechanised steel cables and crane lift which will enable us to secure the car completely hands free.
- Oil Pans and Cooling Systems are often broken in crashes. We bring industrial chemical spill kits, absorbent mats, and other spill cleanup equipment to immediately control any messy spills to keep your property clean and safe.
We’ll Come to You: Areas We Serve
Adelaide is a wonderfully laid out city from the coast to the hills, all along the Adelaide Metro Area. We don’t have a single central yard, as our community is so diverse. We have local routes throughout the town which will not leave you waiting around for several hours while the long distance tow truck arrives. We are able to have a driver at the door within the same afternoon, if you call us before 12 noon.
Let’s take a look at the areas in which we service in your part of Adelaide:
- The Northern Suburbs: These heavy tilt-trays are always on the go, from the bustling industrial workshops in Salisbury and Parafield down to the residential streets of Elizabeth and Mawson Lakes. We can get rid of your old work ute that’s finally gone or one of your old cars that you don’t have a registration for that is taking up too much space in your carport.
- It’s no trouble at all for our crew to drive around Glenelg and Brighton’s tight coastal lanes or drive down to areas of high-density like Marion and Noarlunga. We are highly trained at removing non-runners from narrow carports on the beach and steep driveways in the suburbs in a safe way.
- Eastern Suburbs & Adelaide Hills: The winding roads and leafy properties of Norwood, Burnside or up in Stirling call for a gentle finger. Our operators employ special steering dollies and a powerful winching cable, which enables us to take away old junkers from your property without causing any damage to your trees, sheds or narrow lanes.
- The Western Suburbs: We regularly deal with large-scale liquidations in the near vicinity of the industrial maritime centres of Port Adelaide, Wingfield and West Lakes.
We Take the Stress Out of the Paperwork So You’re Completely Off the Hook
A rusty old commercial van, delivery van or an old project shell with the stripped out chassis, we have the heavy machinery to remove it cleanly. Many people put off selling an old, broken down or smashed car because they don’t like the paperwork. Vehicle Disposal Rules are rigorous in South Australia. Do not leave the car to an unregistered collector or simply let it up. Don’t give the vehicle to an unregistered collector or simply leave it. That means when the car is dumped, in an incident or caught on a traffic camera flash, the fines and legal responsibilities will definitely end up in your mailbox.
