Frequently Asked Questions

We pay top cash — from $300 for scrap to several thousand for utes, 4WDs and late-model vehicles. North Shore demand for utes, family cars and late-model European vehicles drives premium pricing. Call 0800 705 243 for your specific free quote.

Yes. Free same-day removal across every North Shore suburb — Takapuna, Albany, Devonport, Browns Bay, Glenfield, Birkenhead, Milford, Mairangi Bay, Northcote and everywhere in between. 53+ suburbs covered.

Yes, completely free. No towing charges anywhere on the North Shore. The quoted price is exactly what you receive — including for difficult-access streets in Devonport, Birkenhead hills and narrow Takapuna lanes.

Yes — unregistered, expired-WoF, written-off, unroadworthy. We buy them all. NZTA paperwork (notice of disposal) handled on the spot.

Yes. Show us any genuine written offer and we'll match or beat it on the spot. We've been the North Shore's top-paying buyer for years.

All of them — cars, utes, 4WDs, vans, trucks, SUVs, motorbikes, even buses. Any make, any model, any year, any condition. Running or not, damaged or pristine.

Yes. We complete the NZTA notice of disposal on the spot, legally removing the vehicle from your name on collection day. We also advise on any registration refund you may be entitled to.

Absolutely. All fluids (oil, coolant, fuel, refrigerant) are drained safely and disposed of to NZ environmental standards. Reusable parts are salvaged for the second-hand market; metals are recycled. Nothing wasted, nothing dumped.

We calculate offers based on three things: parts demand (what each component will sell for second-hand), weight/scrap metal value, and current market for the vehicle type. We track these weekly. Our offers reflect actual current value, not last year's prices.

Never. Free pickup from any North Shore suburb is included in every quote. The quoted price is exactly what you receive in cash.

Most North Shore pickups happen within 2–4 hours of your call. Call before midday for the best chance of same-day collection.

Yes — every street in every suburb, including difficult-access locations like narrow Devonport heritage lanes, steep Birkenhead and Northcote driveways, and back-section properties in Beach Haven or Birkdale.

Preferred but not always essential. You need to sign the NZTA disposal document on the day. If you can't be home, we can sometimes coordinate with a family member or neighbour who has authority — call to discuss.

Cash on the spot, or instant bank transfer using NZ banking infrastructure (typically settles within 60 seconds). Your choice. Payment is always made before we load the vehicle.

You'll need to clear finance with the lender before sale, since they hold ownership of the vehicle. We can pay directly to the lender if that helps the process — happy to coordinate.

You may be entitled to a pro-rata refund of unused registration months from NZTA. Once we process the disposal, you can apply online through the NZTA portal. Takes about 5 minutes.

Yes. We buy motorcycles, scooters and mopeds across the North Shore. Call with year, make, model and condition for a quote.

Yes — light trucks, heavy trucks, vans, buses, machinery. Hino, Isuzu, UD, Mitsubishi — premium pricing for any commercial vehicle on the North Shore.

No problem. We buy long-stored vehicles routinely. Even if your car has weeds growing through the floor pan, we'll quote and pick up free.

We verify ownership via your photo ID and the vehicle's registration plate. We check the NZTA database in real-time during the disposal process — takes 30 seconds.
