Do you have an old car that has never been driven and just sits in your driveway, garage or backyard for months or even years since you last drove it? A car parked for a long time becomes a quick place of transport and then turns into an off-putting and space-consuming weight. However, many car owners don’t bother to deal with these cars because they don’t want to face the typical headaches of selling a car privately; paying for the costly mechanical inspection, dealing with roadworthy certificates and endless rounds of wrangling with the difficult buyers who want to bargain over every little flaw.
Our specialized Old Car Removal service takes care of the hassle of getting rid of an old car at Best Car Removals Adelaide. We buy your used cars “as is” just as they are in the yard. We will deal with your car, regardless of whether it has a blown tire, flat battery or completely seized engine. Our liquidation service is unparalleled in terms of speed, transparency and cash rewards; you’ll be provided top cash on the spot and 100% free towing throughout the Adelaide metropolitan area.
We Buy Vehicles in Any Mechanical State: No Keys, No Rego, No Problem
One of the best things about our team is that we’re very inclusive when it comes to the condition of the vehicle you’re looking to purchase. Normally, private buyers and standard dealerships will only be interested in cars with working engines and full paperwork but we have a passion for cars that have been harmed and fallen into disrepair that others wouldn’t touch.
- No Rego or Roadworthy Needed: There is no need to spend a dollar to get a South Australian roadworthy certificate or renew a lapsed registration to sell to us. We purchase your car fully registered; no unnecessary prep cost. Whether the car has a dead alternator, a ruined transmission, a blown head gasket or an engine that hasn’t turned over in 10 years, we’ll gladly pick it up from your hands.
- Lost or Misplaced Car Keys: Forgot the keys some time ago? There’s nothing wrong with that. Our recovery drivers are equipped with towing dollies, physical winches and advanced loading equipment that are designed to safely recover and load locked or keyless vehicles, while ensuring the safety of the surrounding property.
- Unregistered Since 2008?: Even if your car’s still in the shed behind a rusty layer of dust and dirt that’s built up since 2008, it is still worth a lot in terms of raw materials and recyclable parts. We would be happy to have it off our hands.
Eco-Friendly Dismantling and High Material Recovery
Your old car will also be sold in the most eco-friendly manner. Outdoor exposure to weather conditions causes deterioration of critical rubber hoses, plastic seals and gaskets on an older vehicle. This breakdown eventually results in the release of highly toxic chemical fluids like old engine oil, corrosive transmission fluid, hazardous battery acids and toxic radiator coolant that can rapidly percolate into your lawn and enter local Adelaide groundwater tables forever.
Your old car is shipped directly to our fully licensed, modern auto wrecking facility when we pick it up.
- Chemical Fluid Extraction: All other automotive fluids, oils and battery acids that are not suitable for recycling are carefully extracted into secure, specially designed containment tanks for safe, regulated disposal or certified recycling.
- Spare Parts Reclamation: Carefully examine the car and recover working, good quality mechanical components. Parts such as alternators, body panels and electronics for the interior are recovered and catalogued for reuse, which also helps to reduce the world’s environmental footprint for new parts.
- Metal Reprocessing: The remaining metal frame is crushed and delivered to the local metallurgical reprocessing facilities for recycling into raw industrial metal, so your old car can play an active part in a cleaner, sustainable circular economy.
Don’t let an old, broken down non-runner sit on a prime piece of property taking up space, taking the shine off your home, or leave yourself vulnerable to fines from the council for it being on the street. Convert that busted auto insurance policy to cash that you can use today.
Our Green Auto Recycling Process: 98% Material Reclamation
With our scrap disposal service, you’re not only choosing a service we provide, but you’re also choosing a company that focuses heavily on the health of the public and the preservation of the environment. Decaying cars in open backyards or fields are a direct threat to local South Australian ecosystems.
Eventually, the hazardous chemicals seep into the ground and contaminate the ground water system in the area.
- Hazardous Waste Abatement: We have a fully licensed salvage technicians facility that extracts and properly isolates all of the highly toxic engine oils, brake fluids, cooling liquids and sulphuric battery acids to avoid the leaching of the environment.
- We safely collect precious metals that are found inside the catalytic components like platinum, palladium, and rhodium and safely return the precious metals to special processes of clean-tech industry within the catalytic cycle.
- Heavy Steel Shredding and Reprocessing: The structural iron, steel and aluminum framing of the car is crushed, baled and sent straight to the local metallurgical foundries where it is melted down into pure, re-usable commercial alloys.
This efficient process allows up to 98% of the vehicle’s overall structure weight to be recovered, thereby preventing the entire car from ending up in South Australia’s landfills.
Which Types Of Scrap Vehicles Do We Accept?
We have processing equipment for handling metals and structures of any weight and classification. A wide variety of rusted-out commuter cars & station wagons are collected for immediate cash payment or instant Osko bank transfers including those with significant rusting around the chassis, sills and floorboards which are structurally unsafe to drive.
- Blown-Engine Delivery Vans & Working Utes: Delivery vans and working ute vehicles with very high mileage and a catastrophic mechanical failure.
- Commercial Fleet Chassis & Construction Trucks: Large work trucks, machinery frames and delivery vehicles that are no longer in commercial service.
- Rollin’ Shells: Vehicles that have been partially stripped of parts by some hobbyists.
- Project Shells: Rolling shells and unfinished project cars.
